It's a beautiful mess....

With a lil sickie one over the weekend (daddy's almost all recovered), let's just say I didn't get what i planned for, my Valentine's Day lunch. Instead we've made a mess at home practically, and even with my attempts to slighly clean up an area, it gets messed up almost in a second, but let's just say that the mess was indeed a pretty one though....i had fun, and so did he....it's one of a kind Valentine's weekend....I'll just settle for it since i did get to spend so much time with him...

So here's what we did over on Saturday & Sunday....i'm lucky that given the whole 2 days we had, he felt sick mostly in the afternoon (not to say that he's coughing was bad enough for him to wake up during nappy time, and puke on his bed....my poor lil one...)

We call it the "Paper Heart Project"....traced out large pink paper hearts so that he can draw, and give it to his teachers this morning for Valentine's Day....(but at the last minute i decided to keep him home today so that he can get a little bit more of rest, so Kay would have to give them as a belated pressie)

Love how dedicated he is to just cleaning out my wooden alpha stamps one a time with the wet tissue.....



See nothing seems to be in the containers which they are originally suppose to be (overturn cupcake containers, mixed up stuff in the bowls......i gave up sorting them cause once it's sorted, he says no....and puts everything "back" where they use to be)

His completed Paper Hearts....he drew of him & his teachers at school, and don't you think everyone looks almost alike....

Then we had fun playing with the foam hearts we used for his art work....and this time it's everywhere....i love that smile.....

& I had some messy fun too since Kay's table was already messy, i decided to just use his space during his nap time to create.....i got his paper heart traced out from this acrylic heart shape album that i got last year at 50% discount....and being too lazy to keep it back, i turned one page into a hanging decoration for Kay for his room door.....Went totally crazy pleating with washi tape.....

I love today, love how Kay wished me "Happy Valentine's Day Mummy" today, it's his official first though ever since he's born....love seeing how he prance around this whole morning with a heart shaped balloon.....we've got a cake for tonight & we'll do our very little own Valentine's Day simply with the ones we love...that's good enough just as long as I have my boys with me....that will do just great.

Smooches!!!

To Love....

* the life we have together, and be a part of it

* that he's my lesson in life

* his smile, laugther and tears

* the reason why everyday i'm blessed

Is there something i don't love about him?? Not ever, not possible cause he's my everything, and the best thing ever to happen in my life....not looking back, not regreting, but loving every moment of him.

I made him this Valentine's day mini and gave him in the car yesterday on our way to school, and i didn't expect much...but this was what i got....

Kay: Thank you, thank you. thank you for making this for me. I like it, i like it (& with this i saw the most sweetest smile ever....) he then went on to flipping the pages through....& said it's very nice...
&
Me:.................(i just went silent for the longest time, not knowing what to say....) melts my heart those words that came out from his mouth, never expected him to say anything, and not the least those words....(you know how sometimes lil boys don't say much)

So here's a peek at some of the pages.....

Title: A Beautiful Life

(using mostly Making Memories Je t' adore papers & my much hoarded Craft Secrets)

My plans for a Valentine's weekend looks bleak cause Kaylen's down with cough, sore throat and this morning slight fever....Jayce's sick too since yesterday (it's a viral flu.....and serious)....so if both of them recovers by Sunday.....I'm hoping to have a Valentine's Day lunch at least....we'll see....

Anyhow, to all my dear family, friends and you all out there....a super sweet Valentine's Day ahead!!!

Packing Up...

Tonight would most likely be the last night i get packing up all my scrap supplies that has dominated the whole of my dinning table or area as we get ready for Chinese New Year. Still not totally done with the needed SPRING CLEANING, a list of still some to-do's around the home. My hubby has already been giving me his rolling eye balls for the last few days, and he's very sure i will not be able to pack up my scrap supplies in time....wish me luck, it's tonight or never.....it's time like this that i wish so badly for a room that i can truly scrap in.....

So here's my latest & most favourite piece which is only 50% done and it will have to wait for me to complete.....my Valentine's Day mini for Kay this year as my gift for him....a sneak at it's cover...totally pretty in pink....totally romantic....and totally me....i named my mini "A Beautiful Life"....


So till then my dear friends, wishing you all a Happy Happy Chinese New Year!!! Gong Xi Gong Xi!!
