Sneak Peak of June Kit of the Month!!
I'm so excited! My kids got out of school today and all I can say is "Hello, Summer--here we come!" I adore these months when I have the kids close by. I love the lazy schedules, no homework and all the fun summer sports. Kade is going to Peru for two weeks next Monday. He's hiking to Machu Picchu over the Inca Trail. He can't wait to go--he's my total outdoors kid.
I have had SO much fun putting together the June Kit of the Month. It's the most unique scrapbook I've ever made--love every aspect of it. Stacy Julian is the brainchild behind it and it's so clever.
It's called "A Penny for your Thoughts" which helps you document 10 important years from your past. First of all, decide on the 10 years that you want to highlight (this could include a birth, marriage, death, job change, graduation, dream trip, etc.). Remember to be real--some of the years may represent hardships. Next, collect a penny from that year and include it on the coin holder--this can go at the top or the bottom of your tin. (Brecken had a blast sorting through pennies trying to find the correct years.) Next, use the circular graph pages to highlight photos and journaling that show why you chose that particular year. The pocket pages store "pieces" of the story from that year--fact cards, connection tags, penny slips, connection tags, price tags (all included in the kit). Also included are label stickers to record important details on your pages and a date stamp. On my example, one of the years I chose was 2001--the year Sage was born. My journaling includes my emotions the night before she was born knowing this was the last time I'd feel life inside me, the joy I felt the first time I held her and the hardship of getting over the baby blues.
This adorable album fits inside the cutest embossed tin. This would be so fun to do at a neighborhood crop or with a circle of friends. You could then share each of your stories (and eat chocolate).
Thanks, Stacy J. for your creativity. You never cease to amaze me. You can order this kit starting June 1st at 9:00 a.m. MST.
I had a lovely lunch with my "Utah Contest Winner," Shannon Wolkins. She is one creative gal--just look at the cute dolls she made out of clay for me and my girls. I'm the one with scissors in my hand! Thanks, Shannon. I love having a new friend!
Have a great weekend. I'm off to my niece's graduation. I can't believe little Michal Ash is all grown up!
Sincerely,
Lisa

June's kit looks great - and kudos to the KOTM team for keeping things so fresh and original!
Great KOTM!! Love the idea and keeping a penny from each year! So cute!
Congrats to Shannon!
Enjoy your summer!!!
WOW Peru! I bet he's excited! I cant believe you're letting him go though with the national disasters happening there. Or is he going to help? I heard a whole city was swallowed up. Not many people heard about it because it was happening at the same exact time as the earthquake in China. Crazy syclones and vocano erupting all at once... how crazy is that. Sorry, I didnt mean to scare you, I'm sure you're keeping watch over it all. I know your family is watched over and protected, so he'll be fine! Make sure he takes lots of pictures!
Can't wait to see more of this kit. Stacy J is one of my favs. I'm working on switching my photos over to the LOM system right now & having fun with it.
Those dolls are really adorable! What wonderful talent Shannon has.
I thought Becky Higgins was going to be designing the June KOTM. What happened?
What a great idea for the monthly kit...so unique. I love it.
And what cute dolls Shannon made for you and your girls...they are so adorable.
I love these kits- thank you so much. They are always so creative, easy to use, and a great value! Are their any more school kits left?? I know I even had a second chance- and missed it!! I switched to 12X12 albums and saved up- I NEED six!!!
The kit is sold out and it's only 7:20 AM on June 1st. I thought it wasn't going on sale until 9:00 AM. Lisa, please help!
I was excited to see that Shannon won the contest. She had a wonderful visit at lunch with Lisa. Shannon is a very talented girl and has done many creative projects. I was happy to see that she was "rewarded" with such a nice "prize". She certainly deserved it. But, then, of course, I could be a little prejudiced since she is my daughter.
kade is goingto l-o-v-e macchu piccu. we were there two years ago and it is amazing.
Lisa, will we get info on how to get into Stacy' class at BPS when we receive our June KOM?
Thanks!

I'm looking forward to getting my June KOM.Have they all been shipped? I'm sorry,but I just can't help asking, it's so cool I can barely wait to have it with me! Tks and congrats !
Hi -
Is there anyway we can still get the June kit? I'm new to this site and just love it! The kit does not show as being sold out - so can you notify us if/when we can purchase it?
Thanks so much!
