where did january go?

January 31, 2011 by Kellie 5 Comments

Do you find yourself asking these questions? I mean what happened to new year, which was, like, yesterday. And where did the summer holidays go? Six weeks, phoof, vanished. And tomorrow’s what, February, already!

The small ones went back to school today, happily and excitedly {which is good for me}. And now I am madly trying to get everything done that has a deadline of today, the end of January, and gearing up for another week.

I have lots of exciting things to share in the next day or two, including my new craft for the January Creative Collective project, which I plan to finish today {nothing like leaving it to the last minute} as well as the new layout tomorrow and the reveal for another exciting project.

It’s also time to start planning for February and here is the monthly calendar download {newsletter subscribers got an earlybird link to the calendar a couple of days ago} which features my photos “my heart is full”.

The file is a A4 pdf ~ right-click on the link and Save Target/Link As.

Get your February calendar here

If you have any trouble downloading the files, please email me and I will send one out to you

{for personal use only, feel free to share but link back to this post ~ thank you}

Happy Monday.

‘Saturday morning breakfast’ by GalerieNoire

Hello everyone, how is your weekend going? Summer has well and truly arrived here, with temperatures expected to hit almost 40 degrees {celsius} this week, right as the small ones go back to school after the long summer break.

And does this Treasury make you hungry. I love treasuries that tell a story. Nothing like a hearty weekend breakfast.

Onto some linky love, after missing last week due to some server problems, lots to share.

Nicole has come to the rescue for those of us getting ready to go back to school with a round-up of tips at Planning with Kids
Maegan has put her popular Creativity Boot Camp into a free workbook you can get here
A quick and simple envelope opening tip at Duet Letterpress
Jordan has posted her 6 Tips to Take Your Party to the Next Level from Alt Summit
And have you seen the new Matchbook Magazine and the new issue of Adore ~ the British edition

And some zesty finds ~ concept products with a lot of merit:

Fun meets fashion in these shoes by Kobi Levi {via design for mankind}
Tetris and tea with the sugar cubes by Danil Zdorov
Refuse reuse ~ and Orange rind scent dispenser by Tour de Fork {via design*sponge}

And cool and fun finds:

Made in Australia and filled with fun characters, the places we go colouring book
Get tough on the boo-boos with Strongman Plasters {via swiss miss}
Predict a good night out with these fortune cookie coin purses {via design crush}

And the first Lime Time Digest went out to inboxes yesterday. Did you get your copy? Sign up here.
