Project Life update

Ola, looks like I have been dropping by my blog more often lately. I guess having a new room helps, cause
1. It's nearer to where Lucas is sleeping
2. It's easier to clean (no more carpet flooring)
3. I am juggling my time better.
4. I'm getting my crafty groove back.

Here are the rest of the pages, although it's week 10 now, I am still stuck pretty much at Week 7 :D but hey, it doesn't matter because I am still making progress nonetheless.

Week 5 (No title page) :P

Mini Album - Work in Progress - Part 1

When I saw a post about a mini album by Leena (aka. findingnana), I was so inspired to do one for my own. I have been hoarding Amy Tangerine's daybook - noteworthy from scrapping studio for a while now, which I find fitting to be my travel mini book. I never got to creating something out of it.

So, when I knew I will be going on a trip with my mum & baby L to my sister's place in Australia, I thought this would be a great chance for me to make a travel mini album.

There are over 40-pages on this day book &  I started working on my mini album last week. Trying my best to fill it up (without photos yet) as much as possible before I depart. Also, this will help me catch up with project life while I'm away. I can just snap using my polaroid or fill up the photos when I am there.

So much excitement & thrill when I'm working on this. Maybe because I am so looking forward to this trip & making this album is just tonnes of FUN! I'm totally in love with Amy Tangerine's daybook & Ready Set Go collection. Not forgetting, stickers accents from Echo Park, October Afternoon, Crate Paper, the list goes on... :D They go so well together.

Someone has been keeping the cameo busy... :)

Here's what I have done so far... (be warned that it's heavy loaded with pictures).

made a pocket to slot it maps, receipts & etc...

I love the random designs on the daybook pages. I will leave some pages as it is, so that I can work on them when I have the photos.

 There's a page for Mum's birthday as we will be celebrating at Australia.

This is all I have this week. Fuh! I'm halfway there... 

Hoping to progress more by next week, in time for my long awaited holiday!

Hope you had a good read.

MME March Challenge

MME March Challenge - Using die cuts.

Since I now have a new workspace, I was itching to create something. 

When I saw the challenge, I knew I had to join the challenge. Only because I have like a box of MME die cuts that I have been hoarding ^_^ & it would be great if I could create something with them...

Here's my take for the challenge.

My New Workspace

I have been a busy bee for the past week. I managed to move my workspace to a better work area. Previously, my craft room had carpeted floor. I really really hate cleaning up each time I craft. So finally, I decided to move my craft room to another room which is not carpeted. Did some rearranging & reorganising and manage to get everything in place. Here are some pics of my humble craft room.

Lastly, DH helped me put up some shelves on the wall... I'm still trying to fill it up. :D

Now, off to do some crafting!

"March"ing in to a new month

Oh yes, it's now March. How quickly February went by. Although Feb being the shortest month of the year, it was indeed the most eventful one as there were celebrations, happy days & bad days. But life as it is, are full of ups and downs.

For now, I am still grateful for every moment I am able to spend with my love ones. Catching up with Project Life 2013, I am still crawling... progressing but slowly. Here I would like to share Week 4 - the happiest week thus far. Little Abby & my dear Lucas birthday party. Although, Lucas' birthday falls on 31st Jan, we had an earlier celebration during the weekends so family & friends can join us for the joyous event.

Without further adieu, Week 4 (2 out of 3 spread). Will catchup and share more soon... :)

It's Feb already? Seriously?

I still can't believe how fast time flies. This being the first post of the year, I wish to share what have I been up to lately... (I know! How can it be February already?)

Well, Christmas week was an interesting one this year. One, my sister is back from Aussie and I'm so happy that we are able to spent some time together. Two, the worst thing that could happen to me was falling sick on Christmas day itself. Had a really bad series of food poisoning that I could barely stand up. Despite the downside of the holiday season, having the chance to spend time with my sister was more than I could ask for.

I am really glad that I'm doing project life this year. Well, seems like everyone is doing it eh? ^_^ I think the important essence of Project life is capturing everyday moments... Hope that I am able to create something memorable for me to look back in years to come...

Well, I will talk more about Week 2, Week 3 & Week 4, when I am done with them... soon, i promise :)

Sharing Project Life 2013 - Week 1

As the year end...

Last year, I think I didn't make any christmas cards. In fact, I hardly did any crafting of any sort. It is amazing how time flies. Last night, as I was listening to christmas songs & writing christmas cards to my friends abroad, the feeling of christmas is finally beginning to sink in.

This year, I have had my share of life's lessons. Seeing how some have departed our lives, some still fighting hard for their lives, some have moved on to a fresh start, friends leaving to a better place, & some just wasting their time away... 

- I wished those who have departed will find a better place, at least their suffering has ended.

- I pray for my loved ones who are still fighting hard for their lives, to be strong, to stay positive & to continue to have faith for better days to come.

- I hope to those who didn't do so well this year, to have a better year ahead, to start over... to find a more deserving place & not dwell in the past. 

- I wish all my friends & family, my readers a blessed christmas, good health, good wealth, joy, happiness & love for the coming new year!

Here I have more christmas cards to share :)
