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...

we've Been busy preparing for the coming holidays and o yah, forgot to mention we just got back from SunwayLagoon in Kuala Lumpur. needless to say, it was fun for the kids getting to enjoy the company of 6 wonderful families.



being away from paper and glue makes this girl stuck.
honestly, i am not in the mood to do anything crafty. let's hope this won't be for long... anyhow, managed to stir up something for MadeWithLove and PebblesInc.






And i'm falling in love with baking all over again...
our little girl and me played with peanut butter, eggs and sugar and had this ready in less than 30 min. Totally easy and delicious !! No flour involved ; no mess.
