Yes, I felt like I’ve lost touch with my site, my scrapbook, my creativity, my me-time. I felt that I’ve no mood to do scrapbook after a tiring day and needed sleep so much. I felt that I’ve been deprived of sleep. Partly due to the fact that I was doing something else instead of scrapbooking. I was baking! Yes! I’ve baked Suzanne’s funeral cake, Suzanne’s chocolate chips cookies (‘cos I’m reading her book – Muffins and mayhem), some other pumpkin soup that I learnt from the net and even beef stew that I learnt from Martha Stewart’s show. So out of the ordinary me.

Yes, I love every bit of that and I’ve enjoyed doing all those cooking and baking. I intended to do more cookies, I love those chocolate chips cookies and I’ve got all those ingredient ready. Just there for me to bake anytime when I felt like it. Just like the other night. After talking to hubby over the phone, I didn’t go straight to bed, instead I’ve bake some muffins / cupcake out from the funeral cake recipe.

For the past weeks, I was even lazy to read others’ blog post and I’ve been skipping here and there, till today. Then only know that I’ve lost so much opportunities in free give-away! Anyway, I seldom get them even when I’ve entered.

So, now, tonight I wanted to do a layout for a friend, finger crossed that I don’t get too tire and my mojo is back.

Oh.. no…

I thought those stamps in Studio Calico can wait. But no, they wait for nobody!

I’ve been eying for this “coffee stain” stamp:

Studio Calico - Clear Acrylic Stamps - Coffee Stain, BRAND NEW

I’ve already been thinking on where and how to use it in my layouts. But it is all gone now. I guess I’ll have to really use a real cup for the effect.

There is another thing that I’m eyeing for – Martha Steward butterfly punch:

Martha Stewart Crafts - Double Craft Punch - Large - Monarch Butterfly

It is definitely worth it to buy together with my monthly kit, since they’ll be shipped together. As for now, if I buy them, they’ll work out more expensive than getting it from the local scrapbook store, even though it is still another online store.

I’m happy though, ‘cos today I receive my June kit, and Joy is so kind to get me some goodies together with my purchase of the red mist, ‘cos they run out of the pink mist that I wanted, they have even refunded me and yet still giving me goodies, so sweet of them.

I’m looking forward to play with kit, together with my Scrapbook Deals4U June kit, Basic Grey page kit, wow! I’ve got a handful actually and I’m out of inspiration and photos to scrap.

I’ve been so lazy lately to take photos .. and I’ve just missed the chance to earn some point from the Summer Camp Rock in Scrapbook Deals 4U, ‘cos I forgot to load my layout in the gallery. I’m looking forward for another challenge.

I am in the middle of doing a mini album for “Today You” as well, one that I hope my boys will love and cherish. But I haven’t decided what photos to use yet. Finger crossed, and sure will share about it here.

My blog

Found that the shout box recently contains a lot of spam messages, so I’ve decided to remove it. So you all, if you have any comment, please comment straight on my post, I love to hear from you and love comments. I would love to know if I can be an inspiration for you all.

Have done a few cards what I wanted to post for friends. I know.. now-a-day we seldom send out cards especially with the convenient of email. But hey, cards with hand written messages is fun! I love to get them, what more if they are hand-made!

But since I wanted to send those cards to some of my friends and they may be reading my blog, so I won’t post them here right now, it won’t be a surprise if they already know what the card looks like. A sneak maybe.. wait for them.

Good night! And have a happy weekend!

Wanted but just can’t

I’ve got a few sketches on hand that I wanted to use and a few photos for those, but I just can’t get myself together to do them. Partly ‘cos I am too tire at night after the boys are sleeping. Another thing is though the sketches and photos are there, but journaling part just slow me down. I wanted to leave some good memories for the boys, but every night (yes, every night), I would have got mad with them especially Cal who always seems to be the trouble maker. Whom always seems have unending homework to do. Mer is non the less different. There are times that he got too much of a tantrum I basically ignore him till he settle himself down.

I’m also thankful that when either one of them wasn’t in a good state, the other was always be good and kind. Well, not always, there were times that I had to pulled over on the hard shoulder and settle them down for fighting over some toys or even just ideas.

Oh Lord, I do need lots of strength and patient, and love! Yes, lots of love from me to them.

So, no layout to share today. Goodnight you all, I needed the sleep.

Greatest

Happy Monday!

Mother’s Day is next month, but I feel like celebrating it even now. Yup, mom is definitely the greatest! I’m even feeling it now for my mother-in-law. I wasn’t having a good relationship with her before but we are getting better and I think she is getting along better with people better now.

This is my mom in the picture, a picture that I took of her without her knowing, but after this, I had another photo of her laughing out loud ‘cos she knows I was playing with my camera.

Am using Creative Scrapper’s sketch for this layout and Scrapbook Deals 4U April Kit # 3 April Showers kit . Which is filled with Jack & Jill Quite Contrary Collection Papers and cute embellishments! Should really check it out.

I’m loving the distressing look, even tear some bits and pieces off the page and PP to get the look. Oh ya.. and that pack of Prima flowers are gorgeous! Should try them out and if you can’t decide on what to buy or how to mix and match your paper line, go for a kit, Scrapbook Deals 4U is offering great kits every month and you get to choose from 3 kits!

Been playing around

with my blog templates. So I’ve been changing my blog template all free from Simply Fabulous Blogger templates.
I’m not totally comfortable with the black background, but I love the header, so what do you think? Shall I stay with this one? Or if you have any suggestion, please let me know, but it has to be free or with less than US$5, really run out of fund at the moment.

Oh ya, weekend is just around the corner.. project project.. I’ve got myself some zips, foam/sponge and twine. Going to have some fun either sewing or scrapbook. At the same time, I’m hoping to catch some more sleep, to compensate whatever that I’ve lost during the week too.

Happy weekend!
