Harry's 60th Birthday

MLcraft got a request a month ago from a customer who needs a present for her Boss's birthday and wedding anniversary. I personally knew the Boss because i worked in that company temporary before and he was a guy who loves Bugs. So when i went and take a tour in my LSS to look for some inspiration, i spotted some "bugs" embellishments under the new Prima line. Even though the Prima line contains many flower images for a male liking..... but i think he will love them because he owns a Pest Control company.

With a $2 Diaso frame and a bomb spent on buying the paper pad and establishments, i proceeded to make a photo frame and card out of it. Good thing is that i still have alot of papers left so a second order shouldn't be hard to fulfill. PM me if you are interested in getting one too!

Now, lets make the photos do the talking!


Look at that Lady Bird bug! so cute!


Bought a black hook that is the 3M type and covered a mini shipping tag with the paper. Behind the tag holds a happy birthday sentiment and my customer's name.




Can't help but to do a stick pin and add on to the frame. Love the pearls and flower bead in my stash!


The birthday card for a message.


Cut alot of different banners and layered over it.


Simple internal furnishing.

*SMASH book for Baby

My sister is expecting a new addition into the family and she needed a book to record her thoughts, feelings etc during the pregnancy. There isn't much i can do but to help her find a book that the baby and her deserves. As i was sourcing for the book, the gender is still unknown so i had to find something gender neutral yet still baby themed. And so i started my hunt for books and eventually went for the Black *Smash Book. It is my first time looking at it upclose and oh dear...... the papers are such good quality and the patterns are preeeeetty! I wanted to get her just the book, but i ended up seeing cute baby themed papers by doodlebug and they were on discount, i bought a few sheets and cut them up to make pockets in the book. She can always insert memorabilia.


Decorated some of the pages as well so it will be more enjoyable for her to do her recording.


She is not a scrapbooker, so i had to find things that are easy for her to use too. did more pockets out of the scrap papers.. made journaling cards... did some tags so she could easily write the baby's details during her ultrasounds.... had a few alphabets stickers... washi tapes so she can carry around easily and stick it down.. lastly tape runner and some cute baby buttons for decoration! Those buttons are really cute and i couldn't resist getting them once i saw it.

Overall, i am glad she is happy with what she got and i REALLY hope she don't give up halfway. =p

Lunar New Year

Happy Lunar New Year! The Chinese New Year is 15 days long, so technically i'm not late in greeting you guys! haha.. I've spent the past one week eating all the snacks and drinking alot of herbal tea to prevent myself from losing my voice! I love all the snacks in my house this year! Amazing~~ One lucky thing is that my company has given us a full week of rest and i spent the whole week hanging out with all my different group of friends, catching up, eating and gambling.


I specially painted my nails to go with my top.


Family with Grandma


Boyfriend at my place.

I'm waiting~

I've decorated this photo tray since MONTHS ago and i've already decided which 2 of 21st birthday photos i wanna use already but i've been waiting SO LONG for my bro to edit the photos and print them out for me. Okay, the story is..... He was in USA for internship during my 21st so he isn't in any of the family photos. So, we have decided to ask him to crop himself and insert himself into the family photo so it will look complete. Apparently, i've been waiting for MONTHS... getting on my nerves now because I don't like it to be lying around in my room and i want to display in my living room so i can "hao lian" during Chinese New Year. *strolling around*

Recollection

One of the greatest highlights during my 2 months holiday was the SIM RMIT Orientation Camp. I'm past that stage of being a freshie, so there i was - NOT a photographer or a Group Leader but a Game Master. Which was pretty boring because my game station was boring. But still, the overall rocked because the heavy downpour on the last day. We were all playing water bombs in the rain and kicking puddles of water at each other - like little kids.








This jacket is super cosy!

The whole marketing preparation robbed away quite a bit of my time and i had to attend meetings and go to work at the same time. Coming up next is the Annual Bash.

--

Party Animal with different group of friends but they were mainly my council mates.




Biggest group EVER, in the club. Plus i think that night's match was Argentina VS Germany.

--

Attended Birthday Parties but i manage to only dig out photos of 2 parties.


Jacqueline's 21st at Tapestry Room


Saw my NP Vball Juniors. Miss them!


Anson's 18th Birthday at ECP. Totally forgot that she was so young lo.

--


Brother flew off a month plus ago to LA for some attachment program. He seems to be doing fine there and earning quite a bit. haha! No one's around to disturb me anymore. But we still skype often online.


Attended Isaac's and Edwin's Graduation and its been 1 year since i graduated! *thinking back* A normal day, just from a different perspective.




Sweeeeeeetieeeee pie came back for a short 3 weeks and i only manage to meet her ones cause partly our timings couldnt match! Hope she's all well and recharged back in Sydney. Gonna wait for donkey months before i see her again. SIGH! But it was a great night spent at H.V's Coffee Bean with Ben and Gin because we had the usual Gin the Joker.

--


Before i end off, I attended the Singapore Art Festival with Isaac and they displayed some fire display along boat quay. It was super hot! but i think some of the displays were really pretty.


Here i am, gonna sign off! Got to get my ass to school for 830 class. But on the happier note - I just had dinner with D.A.N last night and i FINALLY signed dataplan for my mobile line. LOL! It just means more twittering and online games for me! hehe.

2009 Christmas photos during my family gathering on the 26th. HAHA! i brought alot of "things" over from 2009 to 2010. =P Christmas is also another day (other than chinese new year) that my family and my mum's side will get together and eat a meal together. 2009 christmas, we didn't cater any food, instead we prepared them! Roasted beef and chicken plus salad and pie made by my cousins..... AWESOME!

After we ate and clear up, it was time to tear the wrappers! Everyone started finding their presents and we slowly opened them up!
