Before the new category goes live tomorrow, I just wanted to let you know about our fabulous sponsor for the March categories!

Category Stories is delighted that the awesome KittyRobot Etsy store will be sponsoring the layouts for March - with the winner to receive the upcoming April Kitty-Robot kit AND some of the fabulous handcrafted buttons. How flippin excellent!

Regarding our giveaways, we will now be doing one prize draw at the end of each month from all layouts submitted in the months two categories. So if you do both challenges you are in with two chances to win!

Giveaways will be either a sponsored prize - with the winner chosen by the Category Stories team, or a RAK (random act of kindness) voucher to an online store donated by one of the team members - in which case the winner will be randomly chosen.

OK don't forget to check back tomorrow for the new category - you can bank that it will be a goodun...(*tease*)

lee, whose journaling reads, "Mum & Dad got Cara the Cabbage Patch Doll for me when I was 12 and we were in Cairns during our 6 week Cape York trip. I love her to bits, and now Ivy has fun playing with my fave doll.":
lucy, whose journaling is translated to "I had two years old when I got this lil goose from my granny.
I simply loved her and if I close my eyes I can feel her smell and remember how heavy she was cos she was stuffed with wooden grain.
She had such cute felt flowers in her head...
Her name was Luligu,and wherever I was she followed me,but one day she got old and it tore into pieces.
But no tears come in my eyes because my mom had the awesome surprise,she gave me a real little duck,she grew up with me for many years.
And I'll always remember the swwet moments of my childhood."
