A busy weekend

We were invited to different activities, so we had a rather busy weekend compare the usual ones. On Sunday morning, the girls went to the Muara Beach, played with their cousins. We usually go to the club on Sundays, swim in the pool and play at the seaside, they never have been in the sea actually, so this was the first time for them to play in the sea. The weather was lovely, we had plenty of food too ( my aunt and her daughters cooked so many food which could feed at 30 people ). After the sea, children went to the playground and had icecream, we didn't leave there until noon.

Later that day, the girls joined school's treasure hunt, we were divided into 4 groups, guess what, the team Renee was in won!!! Look, these joyful faces!

Of course, the result of that is not much scrapping for me. Paid a trip to Shabby on Friday night, couldn't resist the lovely Heidi Grace paper, took 4 only ( what a good girl I was ) and did something RECYCLE:

I am sure we all have loads of this plastic cover for chipboard, stamps, I just feel guilty if I throw them away! It turned out to be a door sign for my girls' room, did you see the new Heidi Grace paper there? I went back to Shabby on Sunday to grab another two after all, I know the good behavior didn't last long though! Sigh

Are you ready for some game?

Yes, that's it. I am hosting for sisterhoodofscrap's game today! Now, are you ready? As you can see below, it's a 16pcs puzzle, click and have a round, I will tell you later what your LO need to be:





It's not that hard, isn't it? I hope you all have fun playing. I hope you like all the colour in that puzzle and I want you to choose any 4 to be the primary colour of your LO and here is mine.





You should have one week to complete your layout and post a link here, many prizes are waiting for you, and most of all, we shall all have fun playing, right? LOL

Sisterhoodofscrap

It's sisterhoodofscrap's anniversary celebration, please come and join us! I am sure you will have fun to join in the games and a lot of prize to win!!!

Preferably 28 hours a day

Gee, 4 hours make a lot of difference: 2 more LOs; another episod of reading; complete one writing assignment; 1 more movie; clean up my table, ect. I just wish I have more hours in a day! When school starts, my time is restrained, transport Renee from one activity to another adds more stress! Even though I mumble too much on this, I still kinda appreciate how these arrangements have been made, especially after watching "The Secret" movie this morning. Well, if you are " The Secret" book lover, you can understand me. We shall all be happy for what we have...

Let's see what I've got here to share with you:

Those Eyes

This is meant to join the challenge at Scrappinkids, for what is so unique about your child's feature. No doubt, I will op for Renee's eyes. Inspired by one look I have seen somewhere sometime, I wrote a letter to her future boyfriend, to tell him how special Renee to me and tell him to treasure the time with Renee, to look after her well. This is a strange feeling, even though she is only 7, but by recall how I left home schooling, working and settled down far away from my mother, my heart aches. I want my daughters to know that they're meant so much to their mother.

Another 8.5*11, using my cupcakes Feb kit:

"These 2 beautiful princess are what I often scrap about"

I found out doing 8.5*11 is much faster and the LO will definitely focus on the photo you choose.

Also, antoher LO will submit for scrap-n-crop April DT challenge: as I told you in my earlier posts, there are a group of talented scrapper, the ideas are so inspiring, we have this "Makan Order" for the challenge, which you are allowed to order 1 main dish, 1 side dish, 1 dessert and 1 drink using scrapping supplies. Mine turned out to be:

"Grow our family tree"

Along with these scrapping, I still have some written assignment to complete, lesson plan to update, test paper to finalise and a lot lot more on the list!!! So I am staying at home now on this beautiful sunny Sunday afternoon while dear hubby brought the girls to the yacht club for fun, sigh, but at least, I updated my blog! LOL...

So many exciting news!

Yes, indeed, there are so many exciting news today!

First, I am on board with Scrap.Inspire.Create Design Team from April to Sep 2008, I will be working together with other 3 ladies and hope I can do a good job, wow! So please, my fellow scrappers, drop by and visit here to join our very 1st challenge, believe or not, we have already received 1st submission!

Then, another DT job for Scrap-n-Crop is also in the line, just can not believe my luck for that! It's a great place to be especially their forum here.

And, there is something else good for me which I have been waiting for sometime. There were downs in life, but you know what, follow this read: " If you find stumbling blocks in your path, use them as stepping stones to move closer to the good in life."

Now, I am going to continue with my scrapping LOs, hope to share with you as soon as I finish them, coz I can't wait to show you the beautiful paper from cupcakes kit, thus I continued another 6 month subscription.

Stay happy

Scrapped till late last night... as hubby was away playing his go-cart. I did two LOs and happy about that.

Actually I am a happy woman lately: realizing many things in life should just stay as what they are. Talking about friends, don't know if you have the same feeling: many people appear in your life, come and go, but those who stay will remain your close friend, and believe or not, we all have learnt that BE THE FRIEND YOU NEED, to give and to love. I have been here in Brunei for nearly 11 years, those who close can hardly counted in one hand, but I still admit that I am very happy for what I have. So here is my first LO with my friend Meilan:

All the paper are from cupcakes kit which I just picked up yesterday morning, I have to say I love cupcakes kit, beautiful and reasonable pricing. March's kit comes with Amy Butler, 7 gypsies, College Press and Hambly, don't you just adore the crochet leave?

This is my first try with something else besides a usual 12 * 12 ( inspired by Meilan, of course ), once again, we scrap the same pictures and came up with so different style. I definately need to take the picture of her looks, they are just as wonderful as she is.

Well, now please come back on 1st April to see my 2nd LO, and I shall share something special with you...

Tata, for now...

Still holiday

You know what, it's really great to have a two-week holiday. I enjoyed myself with the trip and of course, more scrapping! Have sent my creations for a DT submission and cross finger... well, it doesn't hurt to give a try, right?

Meilan and I decided to scrap the same photo and see what we can do with it. Mine... I had to switch so many paper and finally set my eye on my Jenni Bowlin, these are last year's pp, they are so beautiful and I don't know what to do with them. Sometimes, you intend to keep the pretty stuff and just be happy when you flip thru them, right? I also tried dolly paper this time, Meilan loves it, hehe, I kinda like it too ( found out some really old stuff, used them and absolutely love them!)

Now, let me show you what else I did just now: 

that's my lovely Renee, she's always willing to pose for her mummy, lol.
