Unconditional Love

I went for a SB class so that I could create a better LO for mum’s birthday. Putting it togather didn’t take much time but thinking of the layout and the finishing touches did. This time I toiled for around 3.5hrs into the morning. I totally agree to JC that a craft knife would be so helpful for the floral cut outs. And I definitely need a titanium scissors soon. A million thanks to Jazz for picking the papers for me. They were all so enticing. If it wasn’t for her I’ll take a whole night to decide and probably nothing would be done. Most importantly my mum loves the LO *o*.

Its all about you

My hands itch as its so tempting to do some scrapbooking whenever I glance pass the packets of goodies. But I waited till now coz I reckoned there weren’t enough things to start off especially chipboard words and embellishments. Still I decided to write eventhough the effect differs from using proper nice colourful chipboard words. Anyway, this is my LO. It took a long 1.5hrs. I was aiming to finish it within 30min LOL. It cut into my sleeping time and reading time!

Spear got blunt

I am lacking in proper sleep and slumber. BB Darius’s fever has finally gone and its time for me to get back to my to-do list….long and unchecked.

I’ve started to fill in the blanks in his “baby boy record book”. There are alot of recallings to do and pictures to develop. I’ll have to rumpage through a few hundreds of pictures in another laptop and a few tenths on this one. How to choose through all these images lei??? All seems to fit the occasion. Can’t possibly develop all! Somebody posted the same question mark. Our index fingers just couldn’t stop when using the digi cam.

The urge to make another LO comes up whenever I see the packets of papers and stuffs but not enough kits, pictures and TIME. My first project is way below my expectation and I can’t wait to challenge myself to make some better and improved ones. I am waiting for and email of the prices of the list of scrapbooking items I am going to order. I am eager to set up a blog “Now everyone can scrap”. I’ll need to clarify a few things first though. And first and foremost I need encouragements and ideas to fuel the ignition…. please… anyone??

My fingers came back to life again. The first lessons were great great great!!! My passion has finally returned. Don’t really know where I am heading to and going for but I’ll just have to pray and go with the flow. Yes, yES, YESSS.

Finally posted my hand made rings. I should post it onto etsy and try out. Again, I need comments and suggestions to fuel my passion. I am an arrow without a target at the moment. When has my sharp pointed spear got blunt? Goodness. I would not be making any more rings at the moment. I have some design in mind but haven’t found the ideal beads locally. Sigh.

A brief walk and breath of fresh air at Shahbandar cleared some clouds in my mind. It must be the silence that aided. Better get back to checking my to-do list now. Way behind schedule.  

2nd attempt

The feeling brewed and I made some changes to the first attempt. It wasn’t what I anticipated but I’ll try harder next time 🙂

 

Pictureless, Priceless, Perfect memory

I’ve been thinking about scrappin this theme for a long time. Finally I have something visual to enjoy looking at while day dreaming of him. I strongly believe I’ll make more of this in the future whenever I feel the strong urge for his presence again. One is just so not enough. There are still alot of words and feelings I want to pour out onto these nice pretty papers which are the only ways for me to acknowledge that you are in heaven as beautiful as the papers I have with me. But I strongly believe that you are in the great worthy hands of God. I love you Dawson.

 

Back to sanity

My mind was blank and I thought I was ready to blog!! Somehow, my mind normally starts reeling before bed with events and happenings I want to blog.

Anyway, I want to celebrate my maid’s return home. I am so relieved, I have my coming week fully schedulled, as if I have any options at all. BUT I’ll still carry out my daily rituals of feeding BB Darius as much meals as long as I am present at home, bathing him in the morning and teaching him to learn :). Bonded so much with him for the past 10days I felt like a mother for the first time. Only MOTHERS out there know how much energy, sanity of mind, sacrifice, bravery, patience are required in a child’s upbringing.

I finally scrapped something. Its my first project. A token of thanks and appreciation to Chel for the picture and frame. She painted them pink and purple. I wanted to don some beads along the word “Miracle” on the tag on top of the teddy bear in Darius frame to make it readable. Will do it later on. I like what I’ve done to Ashley’s frame. Its all pink! She has most of her possessions in pink. 

Two georgeous babies. The pictures were taken during Chinese New Year. They’ve grown so fast.

Blog Candy

So thrilled am I to win a blog candy from a scrapper aka blogger. I am a green scrapper so green I haven’t started making any LO (so called). A packet of scrapbooking materials which Kak Adele will be sharing with me, a gift from Kak Lynn, is waiting for us to discover. I’ve arranged them nicely seperating each and every different materials with bands. I really should slot in my first lesson :). What kick started my scrapbooking urge? When I came across the blog of a compassionate women passionate with scrapbooking and with giving people happiness.  

Hope its not long that my first LO be created and posted here.
