MAY 2015

...a quarter of this year is gone...wow! Time really flies...(gasp!)...

I have been busy busy busy with the shop, the children's activities and just general life!

Things are really hectic at the moment...and I am trying my best to keep up with all aspects of life....breath in - breath out....!! Some days I really feel I have to break myself in 20 pieces to get to everything...but I also know that this shall pass...

I watched BIG HERO 6 and just LOVE LOVE LOVE this movie...you will laugh and cry! 

It is just soooooo awesome...

My class schedule for SCRAP-IT DESIGN STUDIO is up on the BLOG...

have a look at the dates and book your seat now...

...happy dance...

Today, after months of capturing and counting, I am happy to announce that my online store is open for business...:-D

I know that there will be little things that are not as yet in place or I might have the odd item that is not matching up with the inventory that I thought it should be....SIGH! And there might be a picture or two missing....or maybe even a price missing here and there.....

BUT I am so happy that we are this far and and will keep trying to better the site....

and that is a promise....xx

...ALREADY END ON JAN 2015?

This year has started with a bang...and I cannot believe that we are facing 

the end of January already...

I haven't posted in a while...guess the shop is keeping me really busy...;-)

...and I am enjoying every minute of it...

In January we already had three family birthdays...Reinecke and my Dad, 

a cousin and today, 28 Jan,  Liani is celebrating her birthday...

THIRTEEN TODAY!!

We love her more every day...!!

...a busy busy birthday month...

Oh, and don't forget the 4 legged children...they also had their 

first birthday a few days ago...(smile)...

At the moment we (well actually mostly my husband) are loading the 

stock from the shop onto an online platform...

and with that we have made a whole lot of work for ourselves...;-). 

We hope to have the online shop running soon. 

I will keep you posted on the progress...

 I also made a bunch of birthday invitations as both kids 

will celebrate their birthdays with friends this week-end...

Reinecke has his birthday right at the beginning of Jan and all his 

friends are on holiday then, so it has become a habit to celebrate

his birthday just after the school started...and then normally they choose 

to have their parties on the same day....which off course, 

makes it much easier for me...

Cariena from The Scrapbook Studio in Jeffreysbay has launched a 

SCRAPBOOK KIT CLUB and I am currently designing layouts for 

the February release...gorgeous papers and pretty embellies (BIG SMILE)...

So keep a lookout on FB for the new kit coming in February....

This is a pic of the first SCRAP-YOUR-STASH layouts for January.

I've taught this class already and will repeat this on Thursday, 29 January.

This is the NEW scrap-your-stash layout for January.

I will also teach this class on Thursday...

For this class you have to bring your own papers and embellishments.

And the way the weathers look right now...Thursday will be a good day 

for scrapping...rain rain rain..!

...off to finish off layouts and capturing stock...;-)
