We started this.....

Both my brother & myself wanted to start selling something for the longest time, and with his interest in photography & design work, and mine in scrapbooking, we've thought of putting this 2 together, and have a brand to ourselves, and him being the creative mind, he came up with "sister yin & brother xi". The 1st we have in our blogshop would be this limited quantities of HOLGA cameras. Check them out here. I've taken some of my own photos with the Holga, and looking forward to getting these photos scrapped cause these photos taken by the Holga has a different effect, breaking away from the current norm. It does have a dated look on the photos, and i can't wait to see the photos when they ready.

Hope you enjoy our blogshop! We hope to be adding more stuff soon.

Thank Goodness for these 2...

My life is never a dull moment. Be it an angry moment, or funny moments, just listening sometimes from far at how these 2 people are interacting amuses me. Jayce is totally a very nice daddy, and many a times bullied by Kaylen. Kay knows that he gets away with everything, and gets what he wants just with whining & crying, and there at times whereby i find myself repeating to Jayce that we can't just let him get his way. It would become a habit. For the last 2 days, he was just testing us with his naughty ways trying to get away from his "crimes", and we're not letting him through this morning. No matter how much he cried or whined, we ignored him totally, not giving way, and you know he stopped after awhile cause he knows it's just too tiring to be whining and crying his head off. Yups, i won this round. Yes come to think about it, i'm the bad guy, and jayce the nice guy.

I must admit we are protective very much of Kay, and i'm trying to cut back on this cause i'm seeing the effect of over protectiveness from him(he is now so shy with people outside). I have constant worries like all mommy's, and as he grows and at each stage behaving differently, i have to let go sometimes. The same goes to jayce cause he is even more protective, and many times he doesn't let him try out new stuff for fear of it being dangerous. How long can we keep at doing this cause our baby is no longer a baby, gradually coming out to explore, and i have to find the balance in things we want as parents, or what we ask of him.

I'm leaving you with a photo of these 2 my brother in law captured last week at my in-laws. I love them to bits....

I'm slightly behind my scrapping, moving slower than usual, but will get there somehow cause i've got projects due next week. Look's like it's going to be an intense scrap weekend for me....till then, have a great weekend ahead, i'm hoping to be taking more photos over the weekend as well.

Thanks Geradine & Pooi for the blog tips, was pulling my hair out last evening over the image loading thing, and it looked okay for now but holding on to your tips for the next round.

What's wrong....

It gives me a headache whenever i can't post any pictures at all, and shirley if you are reading this, i know how it feels. Not that i can't find the buttons for imaging loading but for the last 2 days, i kept getting a prompt that there is error on the page. Truly frustrating! Does anyone know what's going on with blogspot?

Guess this is a no picture post for me.

I enjoy today, not only is it Trendy Thursday again at MWL(love latest America Crafts & Maya Road), i get also to meet up with 2 wonderful scrappers, and just on one topic such as scrapbooking gets us all fired up, and you should see the 3 of us. Exchanging views and product talks & about ourselves , i'm glad i had the chance to meet them. I love the fact that with scrapping, i get to meet these nice ladies, and i'm sure i will be able to meet more of them soon. So Geraldine & Avina, next time round i hope to have more time to spent with your gals. I enjoyed this afternoon.

Still working on my latest LO with the new series from Cosmo Cricket (i'm doing a mix from the boyfriend & love earth series), and hope to have it completed tonight.

Hopefully tomorrow i would be able to post some photos.

Have a good Thursday you all, and thanks so much for your kind concerns, i'm doing ok, nothing major broken, just sore bruises, and joints, and i'm grateful it's just bruises. Hugs gals for the nice sms's i'm getting to. I'm doing okay.

Just one very sore day....

Today is definitely not my day. Had a fall (just missed out 2 stairs at my mom's cause i thought i was okay going downstairs without my spectacles) with carrying Kaylen in my arms, and thankfully other than a slight shock, he's doing okay. On the other hand, mommy me is not anywhere well. Other than the huge bruises on my butt, thighs, knees, and the sole of my feet (don't ask me cause i have no idea how i fell), i'm feeling terribly sore all over. Might have also twisted my left ankle slightly, i'm just feeling not that great.


After a busy weekend & monday with my overseas supplier, and 2 days of feasting with him, i'm hoping to get a good start this Tuesday at work. Nope, that didn't happen as well. Other than aching all over from the morning's fall, had to face literally "office fights". Not going to go on cause it just makes me feel worst inside. For the rest of today till i get home tonight, I'm just going to shut off and work. The thoughts of going back home & having my scrap stuff, it's going to make my mood much better. It's a definite.


Thank goodness that such days are not very often, and i can just imagine when i wake up tomorrow, it's going to feel as if i fell 20 storey down. Ouch!!!


I seriously need to scrap to feel better!! Cosmo Cricket here i come....

Ride of my life.....

Started off this month on my very 1st design team assisgnment at Made with Love, and i'm definitely in for a great ride. Breaking out of my comfort zone of usually having my favourite colours to work with was one thing i expected coming my way, and truly it's exciting cause for the very 1st time, i had to ponder for a while, looked through the kit I was given, and found myself pondering further. Hmmm, i'm sure i'm going to be doing this quite often from now on.

Nevertheless, i had fun scrapping for my 1st DT LO assignment, and here just a peek till my review on Monday! Just say that the colours i've got to show....like a rainbow. Makes me happy when i see this LO.


Weekend's going to be busy for me, will not be staying at home for 2 days cause of the dinners i've got to be at with the arrival of the guest over this weekend, and just for 2 nights my mom & jayce will be watching Kaylen for me, and i'll be missing out on tucking Kay to bed.

Have fun over the weekends everyone!
