...........................In The Swing of Things

Its been a tradition for many of us to begin a new year with nice resolutions ;) For me what comes to mind are plans and opportunities to overcome past challenges (for 09 have been tough, but ended nicely). When January comes around, we have the blank canvas, once again. For life like art, itz best when we {Create} from nothing and with lots of hopes and dreams. So come join us at {Create} Blog for this "Hopes and Dreams" Challenge.

I hope you and me will experience happier times in 2010. Cheers!

"Bearly Girly" is a page I did for Webster's Pages Jan GDT - Keri. She does beautiful work and I like how this scraplift turned out to be. This is also a gift for lil Rachell, for taking such good care of Faith during her many sleepovers at R's.


JAZ's DECEMBER 09 "BLING" CLASS AT LAINES PAPETERIE

Layout "Tiara" is one of my very own favourite and I do hope that you gals at Laines love it too. It's a blend of shabby and Elegance at the same time. The flip up journalling behind the photo tells the story of my Tiaras.

LO " 4ever" is the second layout for the class .full of blings!!! It's a simple combinations of the colour brown,blue,pink and yello.and a touch of lime green somewhere ;)



JAZ's DECEMBER "2010 Diary" CLASS AT PAPERMARKET

A simple sweet diary that i adore the lil girly gal there. it's an altered notebook with nice printed pages that comes with dividers. Thank you all that came for the class ;)

I want to thank you gals for faithfully coming back to my classes each month. Makes me smile when I hear "Full-house" for Jaz's class, most of the time. I thank you gals who still come up to me after each of my class to say how good the projects made you feel. I believe with that, that's the reason that keeps me going. See you in my future classes.

Hello frenz, how's your new year so far? I hope that when we ask each other how was our 2010 in the future, we could tell each other how great it was.

My trip home was a happy one for a happy occassion. There were tears of joy and also, tears of sadness when we all think of pa not being able to witness sis's wedding .esp when he actually was already planning about it. sob sob.

But I have to say the wedding was a great success. a great reunion for the sistas, families and friends from all over. im so happy for my lil sis and hubby. i pray that they have a blessed marriage and a baby for me to 'koo-chee' soon.

on the Twenty seventh day of December

Every twenty seventh of December mean the whole world to me. It is a special date for simon and me. Though everyday is as special lol.

"Dearest hubby, Itz a day that definitely I will take a journey down the memory lane. A journey that brings me so much memories of my journey from a single miss to this wedded bliss. A love life story. I know how often than not,all these years with three crazy adorable kiddos, how we got caught up in the buzz of everyday living and the many other aspects of life. And how we had to have the 'why men don't have a clue and women always need more shoes' days.LOL. But I want to say how much you mean to me and thank you for letting me know that love is a friendship set to music. Thank you for all the wonderful times...
Grow old with me. The best is yet to be. Happy 12th Anniversary. Love..."

Hello Friends, herez introducing my "Home" Project for my Jan 2010 Class at Laines Papeterie. Big thank yous to you gals that already signed up when I din't even know what I was coming out with yet. But knowing that you gals have been so supportive, and without you gals everything is no fun *teehee*, I was inspired and came out with this lil housy that I called my "HOME".
It's a six panels chipboard to start with.Lot's of embellishing and a lil EGG-sprise!!! This lil housy is a mini gallery to display 4 to 5 photos. I am glad I get to build this home, for after all the mess, I finally sat down to journal..I realised how much I wanted to say and keep, in this lil home of mine. Am very happy I can share this project with you.

" ..................Excuse Me...

.......are you a model?"..

L.O.L. though the question did not sound exactly like that but how honoured I am when I was walking with my 3kiddos, sending my son to school and a senior photographer from The Straits Times approached me last Tuesday. Asking if im keen to come by his studio for a photoshoot ;) with lots of compliments ;) I think that is really sweet ;) Later I found out he is no other than Alan Lim from Alan Lim Studio. Thank you Alan for this awesome opportunity ;)
Simon is very supportive though and I hope to have some photo fun too ;)
