Where does the time go?

I have been taking it easy these past few weeks, Doctor's orders and more strictly Lew's orders. By the time I had my energy going, I was again in pain, still have it now. When will it end? I will be going to the office next week, and I'm hell sure that work has piled up! But I am not well rested yet! Time goes by so fast, I thought I will be able to keep up with my scrapping, orgranizing and all the gazillion things I have to do. Even thinking about it makes me stressful! Haha!

I scrapped a bit. I finally used my zutter. During my organizing, I found a boxful of receipts. I painstakingly sorted all of it, some went into the shedder and the rest were neatly compiled. Then I decided to make a minibook for next year's bills and receipts so I won't end up having the same mess again. This is what I came up with, the design is basicaly the same for every month and I still don't have a decent cover.



Then last Saturday, I begged Lew to let me go out and at last, he agreed. We bought this cute ukelele for Sandi for her 3rd bday. We got this for her because everytime she is at our home, she would admire Lew playing his guitar. The ukelele is real, the store helper even tuned it before he placed it in the box. Then I altered it a bit before we gave it to her. Her reaction was WOW! It was well worth it. Here is how I transformed it.

Aying's album

This 8x8 album was my gift to Aying for Christmas 2006. I wanted to give her something special and unique and heartfelt and handmade. She had sent me tons of pictures over the years and they also came here in Singapore last June 2006 so I have lots of pictures to choose from. The finished album has 8 pages with 16 LOs in total. Some of the LOs were not shown here as I forgot to scan them.

I took the picture of this LO when it was yet unfinished that's why it doesn't show the journal. It was actually beside the big picture which was a definition of family written in vellum.

Harvey, so serious. Journal is included in the picture using Adobe Photoshop Elements.

I got wild on stamping.

This same picture was used for the invitation for ther 8th and 1st bdays. Wraped the chipboard with pp that match the color of their clothes.

Sai, modeling the cute winter outfits that Tita Leah gave her. The title was directly printed on the pp. Punched some snowflaks on vellum for added embellishment. The small pictures were placed on metal frames with i dressed up with acrylic paint to match the matting of the big pictures.

Harvey spend most of his free time with his cousin Clarence, playing video games and they even share the same passin in taekwondo. Letters are in vellum.

Lumpy was her favorite character at age2. Aying said you can always hear her sing the song from the show that's why I it inspired me to use it as journaling. Title is the negative part of the cut Sissix alphabet.


Cousins playing in the pool.

Picture was taken in Budget Terminal, Singapore. While the others were checking in, Sai and Tito Lew were goofing around.

A very nice view from inside the cable car, taken by Lew. I made mini cable cars to house their picture, manipulated the wire for the title.

This shows the places they visited on their 10days trip here in Singapore ..
