she gave it to me..hehe


i hope you're really enjoying the holidays and not worry about having all those delicious cakes and cookies and all weight gaining stuff! hehe... we can diet together in 2010! :D

Thanks Everyone for coming by and it's been pretty hectic around the house with kids home all day. been taking them out alot and plans for a short getaway is on hold since Ron is still busy with tree planting projects. doing what he does and being a Nature Lover, he has always reminded us to be kind to the grass and plants and insects and be eco~friendly. but i think i'm not helping much? hehe... *buy and cut cut paper*

Peace and Love to All, Take Care! *Hugs*

this is the year we change the front number
of our youthful age..hehe
so like a Butterfly, we'll be fluttering @ 40!

this week has seen me trying to re~organise my scrap area.
into my 4th day now in between cooking, cleaning,
going out and entertaining kids!
still nowhere near almost done... maybe 4 more days?
but my space for creating is slightly neater than before ;)

Today is Wukuf in Arafah
With the rising of the sun, hundreds of thousands of pilgrims began their 14 kilometre journey to Arafah from Mina, to take part in the Yawm al Wukuf – the Day of Standing Together Before God – where sins are cleansed and the chance for a new life begins.

The Prophet Mohammed (pbuh) said: “Haj is Arafah”, making the pilgrimmage to Arafah one of the most central steps in the annual haj performed by millions of Muslims. In his first and only Haj, the Prophet stood at the centre of the al Rahma (Mercy) mountain in Arafah and made prayers.

tomorrow is a holiday for us where Muslims celebrate Eidul Adha. we'll be celebrating and thinking of our loved ones who are performing Haj this year. we hope and pray everyone will be alright and return home safe.

Thank You for coming by. hope you are well and enjoying the holidays :) Take Care, *hugs*

Happy Wednesday!
this week has started pretty great and even though weather in Singapore has been either very rainy or gloomy, we're very Thankful for some sunshine :)


Aysha and her schoolmates are safe in Sydney. she called with excitement in her voice and i guess they're enjoying themselves @ the campsite and probably more when they move to the city hotel and doing some damage when they go shopping... Enjoy You All!!!

wishing Everyone a Great Week and Happy Shopping? ;) hehe...

Take Care!

it's been a good week and we'll be sending Aysha off to the airport later. she and a few others from school have been selected for a trip to Australia. it'll be a fun experience for them all. hope she'll be safe and enjoy the whole trip :)

wishing Everyone a wonderful weekend and Thanks for coming by. Toodles!

Make & Take

Ed's Weekend Challenge @ Laine's.
to use multi~photos on your layout :)

Laine's Papeterie had a make & take sometime ago
and my Little Ones did an item each.
i realise that this paper & stickers just goes well for this layout

the items didn't exactly stayed firm in the hands of Little Ones
so i incorporated the star and cute tag
they did on this page :) hope you'll join in the fun!

24x24 Poster Layout

so i was kept busy getting this project done ;)
Baby Girl turned 1 last week and Auntie Ed
was asked to create this from her Mommy
who wanted a Princess Theme

Mom sent me all her photos and she wanted some space for
Guests on her Birthday to leave a message.
the scalloped circles were meant for signatures.

music note stamp in pink.
though can't really see from here...
the little carriage as a trail making it's way to the
Castle when the card opens

included an embossed 6x6 card

made a slot @ the back with tags for
Mom & Dad to write their Special note to her :)

Phew! my very 1st 24x24 layout
and it took me 4 days to complete. what a challenge for me!
so glad Mom & Dad of Little Princess loved this :)
they even decided NOT to let Guests sign on it fearing they would stain or ruin it..hehe

a simple layout of Baby on the day she was born a year ago.
photos taken on my handphone @ the hospital.
yes...i kept it for that long and finally managed to scrapbook about it!

Hello Bag...
another one, actually two to add to my collection ;)
Clavin Klein bags are having a Sale. my favourite word when shopping..hehe. go buy!
this one is reversible and the turqoise blue just matches those turqoise rings and bangles of mine :D the other one is a vinyl tote like bag. will take a photo when it's out of it's packaging :D


Clocks & Watches
Ron & i love collecting them. we have a few @ home.
some shots here.
love this Mickey Mouse bangle watch.
it's quite old and i'm Happy it's still ticking!


hope you had a great weekend :) kids will be having school holidays soon and we're still planning where we'd like to go for a break. it's funny that taking a break from the kids would be "free~ing" but being together is still the best thing. at least there's no more diapers to change and we're stroller & pram free! hehe... Dear Moms with tiny tots, no worries, you'd probably feel the same way once that phase is over ;) unless you miss those days...

Thanks for coming by, have a fun week ahead and Stay Creative! *hugs*

My Favourite Food

Hello Desserts!

Ice~Cream and just had to add another iced~blended Mocha

i wanted to "house" my Fave Food album. so altered this Prima box. this is the front look, i'm Javanese, i like Java aroma :D i also wanted the scallop border to make it look like the shopfront of a Cafe ;)

Yayy...
