First Day of school!

Today Romy is spending her first day at school. She walked into our bedroom this morning already dressed in her school uniform :) There was no hesitation or tears when we left which made it much easier for me to walk out of the classroom. There are only 16 kids in her class and she will have a great time I'm sure.
I'll leave you with another LO from the February Kit which you can order

here

...

Have a good week!

Happy Australia Day!

There will be 10% off all 3 and 6 month subscriptions over the entire weekend (Friday, Saturday and Sunday) at

Designing Memories.

Get in quick as there are a limited number of subs available!
I hope you all have a great weekend!

This little "Secret Box" and "Secret Book" from Maya Road would make a great little present for Valentines Day! You can get it at

Designing Memories.

It is the February Mini Kit.
Thank you again to all the girls that have given me such a positive response to my Kit and put messages and links on their blogs! It means so much to have your support!

Less then a week to go before my little girl starts school and I haven't got a uniform, no shoes, nothing. That will give me something to do for the next few days I guess :)
Have a good week :)

Thank you

...to everyone that commented on my blog or wrote me an e-mail. I really appreciate your feedback on my first Kit :)
I'm very greateful for the positive response I've so far received.

Nic

for being our first Guest Designer. Go and check out her beautiful work in the

Gallery

!
The Main Kit (pictured) is very fresh and bright. It has some beautiful papers from Rouge de Garance in it as well as lots of other yummy goodies. There are also an Add-On Kit, a Mini Kit and a Gypsy Bag avaiable.
Please be patient with our website, we have still to iron out some bugs with getting our shopping cart up and running. Hopefully this will be sorted for next month but for now please e-mail me at katja@designingmemories.com.au and I can either invoice you through PayPal or you can direct deposit.
I will leave you with a LO I did with the Main Kit...

First time

published in an American Magazine. This LO is in the March issue of Memory Makers. It is in a way one of my favourite pages because the journaling is very honest and it is about me and my journey here to Australia. There are not enough pages about myself and it is something I'm trying to work on.
There is less then a week to go before

Designing Memories

will have the first Kit up! There will be a Main Kit every month as well as an Add-On, a Mini Kit and a Gypsy Bag. I'm excited now that it is getting closer to the date! The website is still undergoing a few changes but it is ready to go....
Have a good week!

Saying Goodbye

My friend Katja's visit has come to an end (Yes her name is Katja too). She has continued her trip this morning to Fraser Island. Despite not having had any contact with each other for 20 years we just got on like an old pair of shoes. It was great to catch up on each others lives and we promised we would stay in touch this time. She absolutely loves Australia and specially Sydney. I'm sure she will be back sooner rather than later...Hier is a pic of us being silly together.

In 8 days my parents will arrive for a 2 month visit. I can't wait to spend some time together. They will be here for Romy's first day of school and I know there will be a 'Zuckertute' in their suitecase. It is a tradition in Germany to give the child a cone filled with sweets for their first day of school. If you don't know what a 'Zuckertute' is you are really missing out on something...:)
And here is another little sneak peek for the January Kit...
The Kit will be colourful and just right for all your summer photos...

Have a good week!
