A lil bird leaving her nest

Today, my lil sister will be departing back to Hobart, Tas. My lil precious is all grown up now and will be starting her career in a new place. I'm happy that the future is bright for her, but deep down inside I will miss her so much... I will miss the hangouts with her... shopping, manicures, pillow talks...

I don't know when I can meet her in person again... Maybe next year, maybe 3 yrs later... but i truly wish her all the best in her future undertakings.

I made her a lil surprise (hopefully, something she will treasure) :

let your dreams take flight

Hello fellow crafty mates... It has been a busy week for me. We just got home to Penang from Kampar (Hubby's hometown). It is a custom for us to unite at the eve of Chinese New Year, and this year I'm celebrating Chinese New Year with my in-laws. We will usually start off the new year with a chinese dish called "Yee Sang". It contains shredded vegetables, raw fish and a variety of sauces as you can see from the picture below... :) (mother-in-law's homemade yee sang). Yee Sang represents increase in abundance & prosperity. And they say the higher you mix the Yee Sang, the more abundance you will have this year!! :D

A photo from last years reunion, see how high the mix goes...

Also not forgetting to announce the winner of the guessing game in the last post... The Winner is Sharon Cornelius. :)

Celebrating Love...

Woa... Time does fly when you are having fun! Can't believe it's a week already... January is definitely a celebration month for me :) Yesterday, was our 1st wedding anniversary! but because i had work on the same day, we only had a brief moment to celebrate after work... Hubby surprised me by showing up at my workplace. *grin* We went to a "German Bier House" nearby my work place to chill and had some snacks and drinks... very lovely. "Happy Anniversary dear! Thank for supporting me always!~"

Hubby pen his first words on his gift - Moleskin sketchbook

Also, we had guest at our house the whole week. Hubby's cousins from Aussie came to visit and it was definitely a week of non-stop hawker food galore. What a cool bunch to have around! :D Here's the shot of the crowd during our visit to the Penang Peranakan Mansion.

Triple Celebration!

What a wonderful & eventful weekend i had... :) My sister is home to surprise my dad on his birthday. We are glad our plan to surprise him was a success and he didn't suspect abit that my sister would be flying home from Aussie on his birthday. His reaction was priceless... We had Birthday noodle for lunch and Daddy blew his birthday cake.

That Saturday was filled with activities. As our dearest cousin also celebrated her 21st birthday that same day. She threw a party, attended by close friends and family. It was just lovely.

Birthday cards is definitely a must :D so this is what i did for my cousin, using Crate Paper PP, Chipboard, alpha stickers & for my dad, Dear Lizzy papers, hero art birthday stamp...

Hope you enjoyed your weekend as I did... :D
