the lunar new year L ...o....n....g weekend was GREAT but i was so looking forward to my routine. i just crave for my-everyday.
and i am really glad to return to my paper and glue.

so, i've been plauged by a very popular question.
When will be sending our little boy ( now coming to three...) to the nursery.
Most often than not, i just shrug cause i'm not sure.
Truth is he is not ready.
Or rather I AM NoT ready...
At All.
it's a good thing the government did not enforce preschool (nursery) program..
seriously, i mean don't you think 3 is still a little to young ?
but of course i listen with politeness to kind advices thank you very much. mama knows best.

so i abstained from my pretty paper and glue for a few days.
it's great meeting them again ! :)

just before the chinese new year hols, i dished this for my local store.
We were given mediums to work with and using mist, crackle paint, a simple white cardstock had its makeover ...
i went to town with bottles of mist,paint and embossing powder. This was the look before i slapped on the photo.





a layout i created for no reason using webster pages.


another using Pebbles Inc. i was the host this week at the pebbles inc blog...
i challenged our team mates to show us their individual style and here is mine.
i (would like to)think i am quite an ephemeral girl at heart...Ha!
i just love to mix the old (script) and new together ...whether it is acid free doesn't concern me so much... thanks , J for the photos!


lastly, i'm also one of the host for NikkiSivil's blog this week...
here's one of my contribution using the new Flaming Butterfly Collection...
Look out for a NikkiSivil's giveaway Here some time next week !

Love the frogs and crown chipboards ! too cute.





the album came about after watching the disney movie...
thereafter our little boy insisted he's the frog and owns 2 princesses (read :his mother and his sister) after watching the disney movie. according to his words, he's only to kiss his mother's lips and his sister - cheek onli.
much to her dismay lol !

have u noticed ...

- i blog mostly on mondays, tuesdays and sometime wednesdays... i didn't until now :)
- i included a {My tutorial} category at my sidebar. do check out if any off the page projects interest you...

this year is special.
Special in a non spectacular sense.
this is our first Christmas without dad. the void since this june remains empty and it probably will.
One page i did using the newest Rose Moka (background damask paper) and Graphic45's . it's about reminiscing great old days with him. see the picture? both of the pics had him carrying a then-scrawny me. Just like in his final breathe, he held on to me...so i leave u to imagine what an emotional crumble i was after finishing this page.



these christmas stuffs that i made, would have probably gone to adorn my dad's home if he was still around .

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
i probably will not blog till near Christmas, i'll leave u with some stuff i did the past few weeks. lots of Christmas themed projects. i think i've never done this many in any of the years i spend scrapbooking.

one santa's display using Graphic45's . i used an empty Prima container to trap the jolly old santa... tutorial can be found along my side bar.





Nikki Sivil's blog is hopping with activities through out the month. Do check it out and every 16th of each month is my blog host day... here's a sneak of what i'm gonna post.
