*love* the month...

It's February...the month of love.

Just a few things I am really loving right now...

ONE

My new Silhouette Cameo, plugged IN, lots of projects in the pipeline... I played a little, made these cupcake toppers for someone. 

Left the file open, my computer did its own restart thing, and the files weren't saved. Hmm...rookie mistake #1

TWO

Enjoying the documenting part of my Project Life album using this online tool for daily journaling (it's as simple as replying to an email).  

THREE

Sprinkles of Goodness celebrates a two year birthday this month. In addition to the February Collection, there is also a special collection of birthday themed products. See here for the details.

FOUR

Girlfriends' Getaway 2012 has a fabulous sponsor. Project Life - South Africa is giving discount vouchers to all GG attendees to spend on a Project Life Core Kit. 

Lots to love in this month of love!

I thought so!

... I thought all was back to normal, but clearly not! My last entry - www or Wednesday's Wise Words, became the Week's Wise Words.

In between I have been running - still have Creative Escape goodness to unpack, still have Scrapbook Convention projects to complete, still have class designs to create... but I did chat to Stephanie today... and she is excited about her visit next week for Live, Scrap, Play!

I am excited about her gorgeous project and all the goodies she's bringing along for the classes. And to all our amazing sponsors who have once again made this event possible - thank you.

Check out Stephanie's blog for details of how you can get to take part in an online auction in support of breast cancer awareness. And check back here for details of how you can win an Epson printer!

What colour is your Monday?

yes, those are my feet! And no, I am not wearing odd socks - just a little mismatched that's all!

I love wearing these (from the fabulous company Little Miss Matched) it's a little hidden secret. Nobody has ever said anything to me, I doubt they'd know what to say!

Love the colour combo - it sure beats that proverbial "blue Monday". Check this out for more missmatched color wheel inspiration.

The My Freedom prompts are about creativity this week. Who wouldn't feel just a little creative wearing these?

On my desk today is an amazing machine - the RX690 which the awesome people at Epson have lent to me to play with. It can do some amazing stuff with photos and I have been fiddling around with some possibilities.... an article for Time & About, a class for Live, Scrap, Play! and a step-by-step right here. Just need to fine tune my experiments a bit first.

So thanks to Epson and Eprofile who are awesome sponsors for my event again this year, such a fabulous company to work with. And these great scrapbooking stores who have already confirmed that they will be hosting classes: Scrapbook Emporium, Fourways; Scrapachinos, Boskruin; The Scrapping Studio, Boksburg. I'll keep updating with additional info.

I also got to chat with Stephanie today about the projects and products she'll be using. She is really excited about coming to teach and her first visit to South Africa.

Live life in full colour!

P.S. I have no idea why blogger is messing up my spacing. Not good for a straight-lined, graphic, editorially affected person like me!!

Weekend thoughts...

It's true...

... I am doing Scrapbooking for Hope this year! During October - internationally recognised as breast cancer awareness month.

We have a very dear family friend who was recently diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer. It just reminded me again how precious life is and that we, as women, need to be aware.

The details will be included in the next issue of Time & About which will be on sale shortly.

My international blog readers... if you've been looking for an excuse to come to South Africa... this is going to be awesome. Updated info will be available for this awesome charity scrapbooking event here and here!

Have a great week.

Busy again!

“But what minutes! Count them by sensation, and not by calendars, and each moment is a day.” - Benjamin Disraeli

The days go by so quickly, especially as deadlines loom. I'll be back soon with some updates.

If you're attending the Johannesburg Scrapbook Convention at Summer Place next Thursday, do come and say hello - I'll be there. And for those attending in Cape Town on Saturday the 3rd, be sure to pop in at the Time & About stand.

Also check the links on the right for updates of the two events - info coming shortly for Scrapbooking for Hope 2008 and Live, Scap, Play!

SA blog buddies... enjoy your holidays next week.
