FEBRUARY 2013 KITS

LAYOUT 1:  TAKE TIME TO APPRECIATE EVERY MOMENT

Using the beautiful Little yellow Bicycle Winterings paper, this layout was inspired by this moving poem by LINDA ELLIS:

How Do You Live Your Dash?

I read of a man who stood to speak at the funeral of a friend.

He referred to the dates on her tombstone from the beginning to the end

He noted he first came to her date of birth and spoke the following date with tears,

But he said what mattered most of all was the dash between those years. (1900 – 1970).

For that dash represents all the time that she spent alive on this earth

And now only those who loved her know what that little line is worth.

For it matters not, how much we own: The cars…the house…the cash,

What matters is how we live and love and how we spend our dash.

So think about this long and hard. Are there things you’d like to change?

For you never know how much time is left that can still be rearranged.

If we could just slow down enough to consider what’s true and real,

And always try to understand the way other people feel.

And be less quick to anger and show appreciation more,

And love the people in our lives like we’ve never loved before.

If we treat each other with respect, and more often wear a smile,

Remembering that this special dash might only last a little while.

So when your eulogy is being read with your life’s actions to rehash

Would you be proud of the things they say about how you spent your dash?

LAYOUT 2:  BE YOUR OWN KIND OF BEAUTIFUL

Using GCD Antiquities papers, this second layout was inspired by this amazing quote by AUDREY HEPBURN:

“The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears,

the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair.

The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes,

because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.

True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul.

It's the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows &

the beauty of a woman only grows with passing years.” 

Was she not the most insightful woman?  I love her quotes.  

This layouts celebrates YOU, in all your beauty !  Time to be brave, haul out those photos and use them with pride!

JANUARY 2013 NEWSLETTER

Hi there ladies !

Another year has come and gone.  Amazing how fast the months seem to fly by.   We trust you had a very good holiday and managed to spend some time with your family and friends over the Festive Season.  

We would like to take this opportunity to wish each and every one you a VERY HAPPY 2013 and a BIG THANK YOU for all your support and we hope that we continue our relationship this coming year.

Both of us Nutty and Sweet have been scrapping up a storm and already have 2 months worth of kits in advance for you.  This month Sweet M has also created an extra BACK TO SCHOOL KIT for those who have kids returning to school this week.  (Good luck moms !).  February will see a bonus VALENTINES kit too created by Nutty M.. we really want to keep your creative juices flowing !

NOTE:  We are experiencing a bit of a delay with only getting back "into the office" today and waiting for the shipment to be cleared so will start distributing the kits asap.

DIARISE:

(8-11 AUGUST 2013)

We are already planning our Retreats for 2013.

Remember that our Womans Day weekend Retreat will be held over the weekend of 8-11 August 2013.  We hope to see you all there !   Details to be confirmed, but as it is a long way away, you can already start making part-payments to Nutty M to pay it off long before the time.  Contact Mitch at info@thevillagescrapper.co.za to arrange this.

There will also be another smaller and shorter retreat happening earlier this year.  Watch this space for more details  SOON !

Here is to a very good and scrappy 2013 !
