As we say goodbye to a great school year.....

School's ended for Kay last Friday.....can't believe that his nursery days passes by so quickly. I've been telling him since 2 days back that school's ending, that he will be going to a brand new class environment next year, new teachers but at least most of his friends will still be with him....so nothing for him to worry about. It's more mummy getting the jitters of whether if he will take to his new teachers. So far I've seen at the other classes, the teachers change so frequently that the lil ones get affected. I'm thankful that Kay had his teacher ever since he joined and she's fantastic, and he enjoys her classes, and going to school each morning is something he looks forward to.

Here are some photo's of him on his last day at school as he visits his new class environment, and a new teacher as well as he enter's into Kindy next year...

To say a Big Thank You to his favourite teacher - Mrs Branson, I scrapped her a washi tape note book which i bought a stack of Kraft covered notebooks from MUJI, and got to say how easy it is to just create the background with all sorts of washi tapes, and Kay added his personal touch for his teacher by drawing in the inner cover.....rainbows and little seedlings. I love how Pooi uses washi tapes for her notebook projects, and she always never fail to inspire me.

Here's a sneak at the cover......

& Kay's drawing...

I've got to start to plan what to do with Kay over the school holidays.......it's already one week into his holidays, and so far I've yet to think of places & activities for him to do....any ideas??

Have a beautiful Thursday!!

To be grateful for......

so many things in my life. Life gets to me sometimes, and as much as I would love to live it much more simpler cause it doesn't have to be complicating, I've people telling me that you cannot live a simple life. I'm the sort of person who will just take it in, think about it over and over again, and yet not say a single word. It got me thinking for a long time, what simple is to everyone, and what it means to me and my family. We will strive to work to make money so that we can all have better lives. I'm thankful and grateful for my entire life, to my love ones especially, and my dear friends.


To have that amount of love I have for my dear lil one.....to be able to have him laugh, smile, cry, whine all in my face....to experience what's it like being a parent, walking down this journey not knowing if what I want best for him is really the best.


*Getting 2 days in a week with him, doing anything, and going places together.....




*that gorgeous smile that never fails to melt my heart everything......

*his angry and moody days that he experiences once something is not going his way......i've realised how when he came into my life, I've became a better person. One who can be so patient during such mood swings, taking the time to understand why he is feeling this way rather then to have to shout my head off right away at him for behaving like such a brat

*his love, his hugs and kisses, his daily conversations, being his playmate, his bedtime buddy, and I can't imagine what my life would be like not having him.

*this hobby of mine that it helps me to document, and remember all my very special memories of Kay since his birth, and for me to always look back together with him, and for him to have a piece of me in the future. Whether be it layouts or mini albums, or frames, and whether I'm doing it for my family or friends, it brings me great joy and i see myself doing this for a long long time. Here's what I've been having the pleasure to work on lately.....

*an altered 7Gypise's solo tray for myself......and the use of my favourite papers from October Afternoon "Side Walk"....

& starting to work early for my Christmas pressie's for my colleagues at work......altered mongrams.....love these crisps white alpha's from Cotton On Kids.....

So what are you grateful for in your life??

Have a beautiful day!!

What an October it is!!

October came and went as quickly as I expected it to be, and I keep reminding myself to document as much as I can of my lil guy's growing up journey.....So here is October for him, and his very 1st Halloween....this year he's dressed up as a wizard, and a good one i must add. In Singapore we never celebrate much of this western tradition and the most we would see would be at my parent's estate where you have some foreigners staying there, that you are greeted with pretty much the usual Halloween decors at the front of their home, and this round we manage to see groups of lil ones all dressed up, and making their way with lil pumpkin treat baskets or bags, and attending such party celebration , and not forgetting their mummies and daddies too....

Kayl comes to love this festival cause he loves pumpkins....so this year we decided to add some of the Halloween stuff into our home.....our gate's stuck with orange and white cobwebs, and tons of creepy spiders that he added on, Halloween banners at the front area of our home, a family of daddy, mommy and Kaylen Jack O' lanterns (unfortunately I was too afraid to crave any of them cause it might look even more gruesome if i get my hands on them, but instead he bought some weeks back a pack of Martha Stewart pumpkin transfers while I was scrapbook shopping.....). Just too bad there wasn't anyone to trick a treat with, but he's already too excited about the spooky gate we have that got the attention of a few of my neighbours.

So here's some pictures I've taken of him and his very 1st Halloween.....

And back to something less creepy, my LO which finally I've completed but haven't got time earlier to post about, using latest October Afternoon's Side Walk. Love this range so much that I'm guilty of hoarding the papers and the chipboards that I'm planning to use them for this year's scrap pressie for my office colleagues....slowly but surely I'm starting my Christmas gift project soon.

Title: A Day in the Sunshine

It's the 1st day of November today.....is this going to be yet another fast month??

Have a great start of November you all!!
