The Star Duo

T-shirts bought during my bro's business trip to Vietnam. One of the few clothings which each of them have.

My hubby took this pictures while I was at work. It is so difficult to take their pics. One of them will either move away, look away or start pushing each other off.... Heh.

See.... In the second pic, Meimei trying to brush off Ah Ger's hand while she is trying to get Meimei to stand still.

Used 3 stamps on the layout. Mummy's little monster (which I added 'S' to it), Know This and Best Day Ever.

I'm trying to finish my old alphas before buying new ones. But it's missing a few letters so, instead, I used the negative and painted with crackle paint for added texture. Applied stickles after the paint get dried to give it a shiny look.


Materials:

Patterned Papers: Basic Grey, My Little Shoebox
Alphas: AC Thickers, Heidi Swapp, Adornit
Stamps: Unity Stamp, Studio Calico, Catslife Press
Others: Jenni Bowlin, AC Embossing Powder, Ranger Distress crackle paint, Ikandee twine, Maya Road sheer & chipboard, plastic eyes, Prima Rubons

Here is a layout I've done in one of the classes (conducted by MWL). The class taught us how to create beautiful background ( like mine!... Hehe) using paint dabbers and metal foils to create the frame and the title too!

This is an old picture taken for my wedding album. Love the pic so much.... sigh... look at my waist..... sigh... Heh

A close up pic of the LO. I added some embellishments to it too.

To and Fro

We had decided to move back to my parents' house (aka my brother's house) last weekend. The girls are growing up and at their ages, they are at their most active and naughtiest.... At least, my parents can both help to look after my girls and at the same time, supervise
my domestic helper. Wouldn't go into details what she has been up to while we aren't looking. Not that she is bad, it's just that.... let's just say she dotes on Meimei more than Ah Ger.

It's a little squeezy at my parents' house ( with 7 adults and 3 kids) but at least my helper can't complain that she can't cope at all. Cooking is done by my mum.

Ok... don't wanna talk about it anymore. Here is my latest LO. It's been sitting on my table for quite sometime now. It's Meimei's birthday party! Isn't the cake a cutie? The kids love the bees sooo much.... We decided to make it a small affair. Just some close family members. Too tired to entertain guests and the cleaning up part..... Heh..

Cutie Pie

Meimei had fully recovered from her flu and cough. Now, it's only Ah Ger having slight cough and runny nose, my domestic helper and me having slight runny nose. I am only slightly affected by the flu bug.... thank god. Who will take care of the children if I really fall ill.

But, Meimei suddenly developed fever last Wednesday which lasted for 3 days. Her temperature usually spiked at night. She refused to let me sponged her or even put the cool pack on her forehead. She kept taking them off and threw them away. Luckily, her fever was not that high.

Here is a LO of her on the sofa..... she looks so much like Ah Ger.... so adorable!!

A budding scrapper

I am fortunate enough to have a study room which I am sharing with my hubby as a scrap room. Almost 3/4 of the room is taken up by my scrapbooking stuff and my L-shaped study table. And that is still not enough! I will conquer the whole floor space so that I can spread my patterned paper. The messier the space is, the more creative juice is flowing.

Both my girls love to enter the room and play with my stuff especially the elder one. She will
open up the plastic containers and play with my punches. She even broke my favorite one, which is a butterfly punch. Thereafter, she will innocently ask me to put them back together for her.

I have been trying to teach her how to use the different materials/tools but I think she is still too young to understand what I am teaching her. Will try again soon. Hopefully, she will love scrapbooking just like I do.

I'm back!!

Hi all!! Just came back from Japan last Thursday. It was a great trip even though I miss both my girls so much!!

I don't think I will ever leave my kids behind and go for another trip next time. On the very next day I arrived in Japan. My mum told me that Meimei was having a fever, flu and cough..... OMG....there was nothing I can do except making sure that she was seen by the dr and making sure that they gave her medications and watch her fever. Thankfully, her fever subsided the very next day into low grade fever. Not drinking her milk well but she ate all her food.... She is my little hungry ghost who will not say no to food!

Next, when I came back from Japan. Ah Ger and my domestic helper is having fever, flu and cough till now. That's what causing the delay in my posting. Ah Ger keeps whining and whining and refusing to eat her food. I don't really blame her since the flu will cause a change in her taste bud. I changed my rest day to tomorrow so that I can help my domestic helper with the kids as both of them don't want their 'Yeye'...... sigh..... Hopefully, they will get better soon....

Will post some pics of my trip soon once I settle them down.

Japan!!! Here I come!!

I'm off to Japan everyone!!! See you next week!!
