The month ended like this for me....
... a BRAND NEW range of Creative Souls Rub-ons.
There are 4 all new designs - stunning for scrapbooking, perfect for cardmaking, just the right thing for all your papercraft projects.
So excited for these designed by my creative soul sister, Stephanie and distributed by me right here in South Africa (but I can send any in the world too!)
It's the middle of the week already and way past the middle of the month. In the words of Kermit "time's fun when you're having flies"!
Been busy, busy with Girlfriends' Getaway preparations - designing parts of the project and some fun stuff; Getting the next Sprinkles of Goodness ready - this one is full of cuteness!
I've also been surfing the net for all sorts of inspiration and came across this - perfect for today's wise words.
I refer to February as the *love* month! I know every month should be love-filled, but with all the commercialism around Valentine's Day it's a good time to stop and um, smell the love!
So here's this week's wise words of love.
it's the FIRST of the month!
So January flew by... is that an indication of how it's going to be again?!
It's time for my Sprinkles of Goodness collection to hit their new homes again. This has been a fun collection to put together... thinking of holidays, fun by the pool, hikes in the mountains, out and about or stay right at home pictures... love the mixture of turquoise, browns and greys.
Have a look at the gorgeous layout Sophia created with some of the Sprinkles of Goodness she received in January!

Today is "officially" my first day back into regular routine. I've had the most wonderful 4 weeks off of relaxing, rejuvenating and readying myself for this new year.
Journaling my 25 Days to Christmas album is almost done, it just needs to be bound somehow. Although I didn't keep up on a daily basis I have completed it and I *love* it. Once again the importance of journaling or capturing the memories has been impressed on my heart. On 8th December I didn't take a photo for the day, I also didn't write anything down. And 3 weeks later... I could not remember what I had done on that day. Obviously it wasn't anything significantly "important", but it was still a day I had wanted to capture. So again... whether you're creating a layout, making a mini book, taking a photo a day, I want to encourage you to write it down... you are NOT going to remember.
And speaking of writing it down... I've had a long time to think about my "Word" for 2010. Last year my word "balance" captured where I was at, going into that new year, a year of becoming a mother for the first time and the knowledge that I'd have to be doing many a balancing trick with the amount of stuff I do!
This year I have chosen nurture, a gentle reminder to myself, for where I am at once again and what I'd like to do.
... the R&R that is!
So rather than short spurts of blogging, I just took the gap!
Enjoying the last few days before Christmas, catching up on this, that and the other.
The "this" my Christmas Journal.
The "that" my Girlfriends' Getaway.
The "other" my... well... that's what's coming soon ----------->
blessings to you and yours this Christmas.

And so I did!
December being a time for giving and receiving, showing gratitude and appreciation, I'd like to take a moment to say a very big thank you to all who supported Live, Scrap, Play! at the Polka Dot Party in October.
Extra special thanks to Audrey and Sarah from The Scrapping Studio for hosting my event, and to my friend Amy Totty for bringing her fabulous ideas all the way to South Africa.
Thank you ladies (and gent) for joinging us at the Party and bringing along all the craft goodies, fabrics, felt and beads donated to The Heartfelt Project. The ladies were so excited to unpack the boxes and all send their heartfelt thanks too.

...that question! The time question! As in "where has the time gone?"!
Another week arrived and is already halfway done. And it's the 25th of November {gasP}. Just one more month to Christmas. My list of to-do's is still very fresh, as in nothing has been ticked off. I have those gifts to do, those cards I so proudly spoke of, my December Daily album to take care of too! Hmmm... seriously...where has the time gone?
I can leave you with some wise words on this crazy, busy Wednesday as I get to that list!
I'll be back with some inspiration.
It's Monday again, too soon these Monday's roll around. I've just done a quick count and there are a mere 6 more Mondays left this year. If you placed all those Mondays side-by-side, there would be less than one week of Mondays - scary, I know! Moral of the story... make the most of your Monday!
First on my to-do list is designing for this fabulous Home Studio Kit. I'm loving the vintagey colour scheme which will be just perfect for Christmas photos of all types. The kits go on sale the first week in December so don't delay, contact The Scrapping Studio to reserve yours. This is the perfect way to fast track your Christmas scrapbooking - make the page and then add photos - perfect.
My creating this week will be finishing up one of these. It's been so much fun to create pages and add photos - calendar done, and gift done! Check out some fun downloadables here or this one for something different or take a look at these options.
