Life as it is =)

Today is a Wednesday and i’m working on my class schedule for October. Will be teaching classes in the afternoon and night!

I love mornings like this, having a purpose, listening to hymns, sitting in my room. So many scrapping ideas in my brain, storing them for usage later! I think i need an idea book…hmm..that’s another idea!

So where have i been this month?

Headed to Perth for the most wonderful family holiday i’ve had since a long time. Traveling in a big group is difficult and well, sometimes we let our emotions rule our minds. But really, the memories that stay, are those of great love and kinship! It was an amazing trip, planning for the next one soon..

And we celebrated rebecca’s birthday last Saturday, time really flies…she’s now three!

Back to designing for class and next month i will have three projects! Will show you once i’ve photos of them. In the meantime, do head over to Sharon’s blog to see what she’s cooking for Laines in October!

Back to work =)

Monday blues

..and maybe a little yellow?

We were all excited at the new brand Authentique Paper, when it came into our stores the first time. The one with the floral design sold out the first day!

I bought some when the next shipment came in, and here’s a layout i did. I love the small sheets of noteables, excepts, icons and all the embellishments that came with it.

I love the aeroplane! Don’t you?

Love the quotes!! =)

The heart shaped chipboard is from Cosmo Cricket =)

Even the brand stripes has quotes!!! “If you want to be happy, be.”

How do you like my real stitches and fake stitches? I finally took out my sewing machine after quite a long time. I even had to find the plug from the storeroom!

Oh! And the winner of my two cards and 4 tags is…*drum roll*
