Last week of school...

and the holidays will be here. School will be closing this Thursday but Saj will have to go back to school again on Friday to receive an award for being the I-Care Champion. Today, she will be receiving another award for being the Head of Class Ambassador. Parents are not invited for today but will have to be in her school seeing her receiving the I-Care Champion on Friday. I'm so thankful and so proud of her. You go Girl! Oh yes, PSLE result will be out next Thursday, another anxiety coming up soon. lol.

Pink Sketches will be having a Christmas card exchange between us the Designers. It's going to be so much fun. Will be laying my hands on many cards and layouts this week.

Sketch #54

And here is my take...
My sister, my closest companion...

It's a Monday today and hope you are not having the Monday blues...
I wish to say a BIG BIG Thank you to my daughter Saj, for helping me with my blog skin, reformatting it and give it a new fresh look.
All credit goes to her. I'm not a computer savvy, she is and she has proven it.
Thanks Saj, love you.

Thank you so much for coming by
Have a lovely Monday
Love

An Evening @ Orchard Road

I went down to Orchard Road last night with the hope of taking some nice photos there with the Christmas decorations and lights up.  Unfortunately, when reaching, it began to rain and i was confined in the car. Still i managed to take some shots and here they are...

Christmas light up along Orchard Road


Even though it was raining quite a bit, it still does not dampened the atmosphere there. People were walking all over enjoying the cool night. Some were busy shopping, dining, chatting, just relaxing, enjoying the view all happening along Orchard Road. Quite nice lights up and not that bad a photo taken even though the car was moving while i was snapping away. lol .

Here's a little something i did for a friend for Christmas....

Good Saturday

morning everyone. Hope you have a fine start to your morning. Lovely weather here with occasional shower here and there. Great time of the year. Raining most of the time.

World Kindness Day

Yes, today is World Kindness Day. Come lets spread a little kindness be it big or small and show that we care. Let's make World Kindness Day a meaningful and more pleasant for all....

I went to Made With Love yesterday and met some regulars there. It's nice when people know you and a simple smile can make your day. I bought some more AC patterned papers and of course Primas.  Will work on that later today.
 
For now here's my take on Julie's sketch over

I'm so excited...

a friend has invited me to teach craft classes in December.. I'm so thrilled and so excited and of course happy for her. Details will be announced later part of the month.. I did 6 Christmas cards yesterday but you know what?? i did not take any photos, will do that later part today and post in my next entry.

How are you today? Hope you are in the pink of health. Yesterday's Jumble Sale at my daughter's school went fantastically well. All our crafts including the cards were sold in less than 2 hours. Her stall alone collected close to 300 dollars. How cool was that? She was very happy and so do I. One of her teachers even ordered a Birthday Card which i will be doing later. 
Sometimes i wish that there are more than 24hours in a day. There are so many great challenges in blogs that i love to put my hands on but time is so short. I have so many things to catch up with, many cards and layouts to complete. I have to cook, wash the laundry, clean the house, fold the dry clothes, iron their school uniforms, wash the dishes..blah blah blah you name it, all in the name of HOUSEWIFE! but whatever it is, you have to enjoy whatever you are doing, that's what i believe in.. like this layout ....

My take for Sketch #53
Pink Sketches

I simply enjoy doing this layout... 
partly because i'm falling in love with Webster's Pages 
The butterflies are beautiful
His face is so cute...his eyes especially
Love his smile
Love my layering
Love everything

My niece is on the verge of giving birth.. Hope and pray that she will do just fine.. She is already in the hospital. Will try to see if i can visit her later part of the day today and spend some time with my sister and her. Will bring my camera of course.
In the meantime...
take care
Love

Sunday Afternoon...

was spend doing all these with my Dear Daughter. Her school is organising Jumble Sale tomorrow and she is made in-charge for the girls in her class. I contributed my time, my paper and some of my embellishment for the sale tomorrow. The fund collected will be for the School Funds Association for students in need. Here's what we did...
 
Some simple cards, altered cup, some bookmarks she made herself and some handmade flowers. Other girls in her group will have their own contribution for the sale. It was fun spending our afternoon doing something for charity and hopefully she will do a good sale tomorrow. 

So how was your Sunday so far? 
I 'm sure you are enjoying every minute with your loved ones and enjoying your scrapbooking. I went to Konikuniya Bookstore at Takashimaya yesterday afternoon and bought  myself a book. I am going to read it later in the evening. I simply love Richard and Kristine Carlson book on Don't Sweat the Small Stuff. I'm currently on Richard's Don't Sweat the Small Stuff and it's all Small Stuff. It's a book on simple ways to keep the little things from overtaking your life. I'm going to love every page of his... Will share some of his advice in my next post. 

Since I've been making cards after cards i added one more into my collection. 
 Here's a Sneak Peak....

 I used a 3D stickers and ribbon.
Something yellow something orange...
maybe for someone nice, someone sweet.....

ok for now..
Have a nice Sunday evening...
Thanks for Coming by
