First LO in 2008

Well, it didn't take that long to finish this LO! I was kind of desperate to do something then pulled out my cupcakes kit from November and completed this ! I always like to take pictures when my girls having food especially Rafeeqa, she is the little mouse in the house, won't let any food go without her try.

Mummy's favourite cake.....mine too!

What material I used: MM, October Afternoon/paper; BG/rub-ons;HS/blings;Bazzill/flower;Buzz and Bloom/chipboard(from Jazz)

" The chestnut cake is my all time favourite, when my little girl tried for her first time in Dec'2007, she immediately said"I love it!"

Yes, I finally had lots of pictures from our last trip on my table waiting to be done.

A late Happy New Year and no scrapping yet

I know, I know, it's too late but I still want to say Happy New Year to everyone ...

What to do, after a long holiday without access to the blogspot and 2 busy school weeks, what can I say? The children enjoyed themselves so much and we sure did too. Just look at those pictures you will know, who didn't agree that Shanghai's Xiao Long Bao is the best of all?


We did a lot of visiting this time as Rafeeqa is ready to explore ( but on a stroller instead of her feet ): SH Musemum, Lake of Yang Cheng ( where you will find the best crab ever ), Yu Garden and others. I think the children love the shows best: the white whale show, the circus show and also several visit to the science play center and playlands. I searched for fun places they could go before our departure and also made sure they were busy all time. Best of all that Renee even had a try for ice-skating on Christmas eve. On the same day, we found this:

A pink Christmas tree in front of the Time Square

All of us couldn't wait for our next trip especially me, as I didn't get enough time to talk to dad with the two busy girls around, I shall do it in March though! Yah, another trip in March!!!


Now, talking about scrapping, actually I did bring some stuff with me to SH and hoping that I could do some LO but you know, ahhh, nothing! Even after I came home and yet two weeks past, nothing! While I was cleaning my working-scrapping place last Sunday, I realized that I have so many so many stuff I haven't even touched. I must find some time to do it. But when???? I didn't even print the trip photo!


I hope I can get hands on some beautiful paper soon.

Surprise Present

Yes, that's it. My surprise present from Shabby . Didn't expect to get it, and thought I have to work so hard on my album then might get a chance to win it! I'm really wordless when I saw it just simply laughing in sort of silly way... Love you, Shabby -- the ladies behind it!

At the same time, I have to say, I did complete the challenge album. I love the way it turns out and sure to share with you after 23rd.

Photo Swap -- my part

Few weeks back, this girl arranged a photo swap for us, and I am up to scrap Meilan's photo. It took me sometime to get ready the photo and start the layout. Love MME's new paper, especially this Friend's range, thought should look good for any LO. I altered a small notice board, covered with the pattern paper ( MME ), used the velvet ribbon ( Hokko ) to cover the sides. The crochet flowers are from MME too, brads took from my cupcakes' kit. Also used on LO are rubon ( AM ), ghost letter, clock, chipboard letter ( Heidi Swapp ), chipboard ( Queen & Co. ; Autumn Leave ), Sticker ( Grannny's kitchen ) and the bird stamp ( Autumn Leave ).

Can't wait to see the rest of the LO from the others...

I'm tagged by Jazz and here's the 7 facts:

(1)I think I need to do regular exercise desperately...not really due to the growing size of my hips( I still can't fit in my favourite jeans )but of the low energy level I am having daily --- I need to hit the pillow sometimes before 9pm!--- and that means I don't have enough time to scrap!!!

(2)I need to confess that I am not a good mother some time, in order to get more time to scrap, I cook easy/fast food to feed my princess and didn't spend quality time with them like just let them playing by themselves.

(3)I enjoy retail therapy when I am in a bad mood and bring home quite numbers of rubbish!

(4)My office is called" pressure release center" as I store lots of food here and eat and eat and eat when I have pressure at work.I also invite other colleagues to join if they have same problem.

(5)I miss my mum and dad. Sometimes I wish I have never left them. Constantly dream how the things would be different but also know there's no way to turn back but still keep dreaming.

(6) I need another holiday despite just completed 10 days'. Have no intention to come back to work and face so much much deadlines.

(7) I need to spend at least 1 hour search my scrap websites everyday .

I will tag:

princess;

pearl;

susan;

deanne;

grace;

carla;

beb;

ta ta for now.

Just 2 things

(1) The RAK : ...... goes to all 4 who left comment on that entry, I think it's time to share my love of scrapping goodies. Ladies, i will text you soon.

(2) Scrapping? I was away for 3 days but really wanted to scrap, took loads of pics and developed some yesterday. Today I actually sat in front of my scrap table ( hardly left it except for making lunch for the girls and on off little stuffs ) and I finished the calender for my dad. October, consider one of my worst month in the year, especially tomorrow... while i was thinking about mum for the past few weeks, I found the blank calender in Shabby during the last last trip.

I used all the "noteworthy" paper from MM, it's so so beautiful. Along with that, used same range of button and flowers too. More photo will be updated in my 2 peas gallery.

Well, tomorrow the school starts again, and work till first week in December, there won't be any holiday ( weep, weep ) but then I will fly off to see my dad...

House according album

My scrapping mojo is slowly coming back, spend about 3 hours to finish a house according album for my niece to celebrate her recent joy of motherhood.

The idea of the house shape has been in my head for sometime ever since Love Elsie's new line came out. The one for my family is still pending but this one need to be ready before Wednesday as we are heading to Bintulu on that day!!!

Baby Esther sure is a cute and chubby girl, the good thing for us to capture those lovely moment. I tried to dig a few more pic about her parents, en en, not so lucky but end up with just two wedding photo.

material used: pattern paper ( K&Co.;KI memories); card stock ( BB); chipboard letter ( American Craft; thickers); chipboard ( Scenic Route Paper Co.);KI memories softies;HS bling;rubon ( American Craft );button ( Making memories );other stuff: MME quote, flowers

Still have about 6 days for the term break, I do hope I can scrap more and more!!!
