Studio to die for

I know some of you would have seen this studio over at Donna Downey’s website. But I only discover it today! And I’ve fell in love with the studio. Just look at the picture below that I got from her flicker album.

I would love to have this kind of work space, filled with drawers that I can keep my stuff away, a big work space that I can lay all my things there. Now, I think I better work for this and get my room at least 50% look like the one in the picture. What I’m having now is just a tile room with a window in the middle, a shelve and that’s it!
Anyone want to donate anything to this poor girl without a scraproom? ‘Cos I’ve moved out from my mom’s place, and I have to start from scratch in getting the table and cabinet.

My priority?

I think I’m having a melt-down on scrapbooking now, ‘cos I’ve just moved away the scrap table to be our temporary dining table in the new house. Yes, the house doesn’t have a dining table. And now I don’t have a scrapping table over at my mom’s house since we are moving out from there but maybe if the table is still there, I still could do some scrapping when I’m back there, but now, no table.

I have a strange feeling about scrapping too ‘cos I’m in the middle of moving, all things are not done yet. I’m eagerly wanting to decorate my scrap area with tables and chair. Meaning now it is totally empty except the curtain! Most of my stuff are still in my mom’s place. Still I’m trying to make another planner taught by Brenda. So I’ve got my craft knife, some pattern paper and glue with me in my in-laws’ home. My in-laws’ home is actually became our transition lodge.

I hope to move in by 1st January and well… finishing moving all my stuff by end of January. I will just take it slow in moving all those stuff that I have but priority will be given to the daily necessities which include my scrapping stuff *grin*. So, wish me luck!

It is here!

Finally I’ve got my TV cabinet last night and I’ve even brought in my cross and little Christmas tree! LOL! That’s the only two little things on the cabinet now. Haven’t even got the TV yet and still I’ve applied for cable TV. Thank God that it is long enough for the living room and I still have space to put something else besides it later, maybe shelves. I know once I stay in there, I’ll have lots of other stuff to put in and gradually it will grow.
Learnt how to make that paper Christmas tree from A Million Memories, it is definitely not looking as cute in their website, but at least I’ve got one for myself.

I wanted to decorate the house more actually. I wanted to have a huge Christmas tree there and make it more welcoming rather than the empty house with only the sofa set and TV cabinet. I’m already thinking to make a shadow box to display my layout. Just wait and see…

Free stuff

Gosh! This site just came to me – Free Printables

Ya, they piratically have everything you need to print about, including calender, activities, crafts, music, games and lots more. You just gotta check them out. They have some great stencils over at their craft section which is just great for kids to color. And they are absolutely FREE!

Now I would be checking in to see if I can print something out for my boys to do and get them occupy later during their school holiday.

One Sunday

Am back!
Just got back yesterday from visiting hubby. I had lots of fun time away from my two boys. I must say I don’t particularly miss them *LOL*. Knowing that I can do lots of things that I can’t do with them around, such as going for food massage, eating comfortably without chasing them around, sleeping late and eating hot and spicy noodles! Yup, I’m glad I made the trip over alone.
Now, for scrapbook sharing. Am way too late to submit this on a challenge over at Creative Scrappers using their sketch #75

I’m using all things from Scrapbook Deals 4U October kit – Delilah, plus Tattered Angel’s mist, Making Memories paper pad and some ink. Look out for Scrapbook Deals 4U October Delilah kit in their store for more description soon.

I got the idea of ink distressing from one of the pattern paper that came along in the kit, so I’ve used red, brown and white ink on the edges of the pink cardstock. Knowing that I hardly use flowers on my boys’ pages, thus it is so lovely to see these flowers on my layout.

Thanks for looking.

Bummer

Another bummer for me happened today – I forgot my camera!

It is like “I forgot my phone” thing to me ‘cos today I’m suppose to load photos into the gallery to be entered for some challenges and yet of all the things, I forgot the camera which I’ve already snap photos of my layout, one that being doing last night using the beautiful Delilah kit from Scrapbook Deals4U.

*Sigh* And now, I’ll have to wait till next Tuesday to get it loaded and it will be way past due date. I really really wish I can have my broadband running at home, unfortunately it doesn’t cover till that area. Even when it does, it is way too slow for me to load anything over the Net.

So peeps, you won’t be able to see me online over here updating on my blog till next Tuesday. I’m going to a land that forbid Blogspot and Facebook. Can you imagine that? To live without having access to Blogspot and Facebook? It is a sad case to me. For once, they (Chinese gov.) has opened up their gateway and let people browse blogspot, now they are blocking it again. Even YouTube also can’t get over their gateway. Sad huh!?

So, see you after Monday.

Bu hooo..

Last chance for me to scrap tonight and share about it tomorrow before I go off to meet hubby on Thursday morning. Not like this will be the end of my scrapping life, it is just that I’ll be away for the weekend without my scrapping stuff.

Guess what, I’m actually looking forward to it, that I can get away from my boys :p I’m missing my scrapbook more than my boys.. something must be wrong with me. I know I’ll be missing them when I got there, but as for now, I’m happy that I will have a “small vacation” away from them. >:)

Still nothing

yet…

Yes, there is still nothing from me with scrapbook related yet, ‘cos I’m away from my scraproom. Am staying in my in-law’s house at the moment as hubby is back for a few days. Of course I miss my scraproom! But being with hubby is much more important to have that sparks keep lighting too, right?

I’m half way working for the final exam over in Scrapbook Deals 4u, hopefully will be able to cook it before due day which is this coming Sunday.

Kedah

I did another mini album over the Raya holidays. I’m utilizing my Zutter bind-it-all, Marvy scallop oval puncher, We Are Memory Keeper’s corner chomper, Maya Road journal stamp, red embossing powder and a bit of creativity. I’m loving my Zutter and corner rounder.

These photos were taken way back in 2004 during a short trip to visit a local library there attending a forum/conference concerning local history. What it was, wasn’t that important and memorable to me (:D), leisure is more fun, and I get to meet up with some distance relatives over there.
Here are a few inner pages.


Yes, I get to visit the birthplace of our ex-PM (Rumah Kelahiran Mahathir Mohamad), the Menara Alor Star and the place where the famous dodol is being sold.
TFL.

A few sites that I love

I always love what Dawn did on her site, she always got beautiful cards to share. Just look at her site and you’ll know what I mean. Her cards are neat! I wish I am as creative as her.

Another site that I love to drop by is Lizzy’s Just us. Her site is filled with beautiful photos, uplifting posts and inspiring layout.

To bring me back to simplicity and story telling, I love to read about Ali’s blog. She has been posting about her beautiful children and work with Big Picture Scrapbooking in giving out lots of classes about scrapbooking. To me, I always look out for free classes *grin*.
