Over last weekend......

We ate....my all time favourite cupcakes from Twelve Cupcakes....

We scrapped with great company....my 2 favourite people......Kay & G scrapping seriously....

We washi our way through our scrapping pieces.....Kay's a fan like me of washi tapes....

We walked around my parent's neighbourhood in the evening where they have this new place opened called - The Greenwich.....love the atmosphere there.....& we found they have Awfully Chocololate there.....yums!!

Can't believe that one weekend flies by so quickly, as well as this week practically whizzes past and since it's a short 4 day work week, I'm welcoming the long weekend with open arms. It always means with public holidays, total family time which we need for the 3 of us. It's often just me and Kay spending our weekends together, and often without Jayce so that's the downside sometimes to him building the father and son relationship which is as important as the relationship I share with my little guy. Haven't thought about where we will be going, or what we will  be doing, just as long as it's the 3 of us.

Till my next post, have a happy Easter and a long weekend!!!

& the RAK goes to.....

JOYCE!! Congratulations, and please send me your mailing address to: tanyinwen@gmail.com, and the RAK will be mailed out to you very soon.

Hope to be back soon with more updates on my Project Life, and my SMASH journal as well. I've finally started SMASHING....along with the rest.

Have a Happy Thursday!!

Friends are always good for the soul.....

No doubt each time whenever I get the meet my close friends, it always does wonders to my heart, and naturally makes me so happy. Be it seeing familar faces, or spending that precious amount of time, it always makes me feel blessed to just have my dear friends. It does look like I really have to have time with my friends other then my beloved family, and my dearest little guy.

Just last weekend, I've spent great time G after months of last seeing her.....and this time I had the chance to bring Kay with me......I must tell you just how much Kay adores her to the extent that he wants to go home with G...LOL...G's really very good with him.

Here's us in the car on our way to meet G at Raffles City......for lunch & a visit to the LSS....


All that fun at lunch....and a catch up for us at Watami.....

& thanks Aunt G for this uber cute durian suitcase which is his 3rd in his collection. He has already gotten the apple & watermelon suitcase from his previous visit to the LSS.......He proclaims that this is now his "work" bag.

And with all that good time with G, she's also gotten me my very 1st SMASH journal. Thanks dear. Am surely going to start SMASHING within it, although I've been thinking about what I would like to journal about (since my Project Life records our everyday, and I still love Project Life for the very reason why i started, and I wanted to keep my SMASH journal to record other stuff)......definitely about the one true love in my life, my dear little guy - Kaylen!! Still has yet to iron out what about Kay should go into my SMASH journal, and how to decorate my cover page.....

& how can i not get the other SMASH products to go along..............seriously smashed a big hole in my wallet for sure!! Love SMASH so much that I grabbed some of the SMASH items and the SMASH theme baby journal for my close pal, Wendy who is embarking on her journey to motherhood.....how exciting!!!

My last weekend's been great even though I had only 1 weekend day with Kay as I needed to work through my last Saturday, but it still feels great to still spend that day with him and G.

Looking forward to more of my time spent with my friends soon.....seriously need to get down to allocating my time to spend time with them soon.

RAK Giveaway.....

It's about time my scrap area needs a tidy....and as well as the rest of my house since we can't seem to keep up with tidying up, cleaning up the house. We've decided after the longest time to engage cleaning professionals to come take care of this since Jayce is already working 7 days a week, and really I've a superb hubby that takes care of the house stuff to the best he can, and i too have no further energy at the end of each day to do housework like cleaning the window and grills, dusting, mopping, disinfecting etc, so we're leaving that in the hands of the experts.

So now i have to just take charge of my scrap area. So while the cleaning lady is cleaning away, there I was clearing up my scrap desk. Even my Project Life basket of supplies is getting out of hand, and calling out for attention to be packed, and the overflowing of washi tapes from the basket (decided to go through the washi tape, and select which ones i wanted to use for my Project Life, but it also seems after the sorting to still look as much...lol)

Here's my space before packing .......


It's also very very quiet around the house since it's only me and the cleaning lady (other then the vacumming), and Kay was off for his morning Chinese lessons, it's going to be pretty much a leisure Saturday morning from now on for me (even though I had no choice to just be away from Kay that couple of hours), but at least we now have a much dust free home which Kay needs badly cause he has super sensitive nose, skin and lungs since young. So before having to go to work in the afternoon, I spent just a short half an hour after clearing up the desk to continue further into my Week 8 of Project Life.....hope to complete Week 8 by Sunday.....Here's just one part....I happen to fall in love with chevron design stuff.....even toying with the idea to get chervon paper gift bags from the Etsy store for Kay's upcoming 5th Birthday goodie bag....

And as promised....A much needed RAK Giveaway....it's been ages since my last RAK, so a mix of brands....some spools of ribbons, washi tapes, pearls and blings!! So leave me a comment by Wednesday, and I'm annouce the winner on Thursday, 29th March.

Have a great Saturday you all while I look forward to going home to see my lil guy, and looking forward to Sunday where I get to spend more time with Kay, as well as meeting up my dear dear pal G for a shopping trip at the LSS!!

Onward march with Project Life....

Enjoying the ride on the Project Life wagon, and never looked back, and never pondered upon the fact from the very 1st when i started out that i might give up due to time. I'm so glad to embark on this journey, and this has enabled me to journal so much more then the past, and i love having to have my feelings documented out. I always think it's hard to pen down my thoughts, and that's why i didn't even tried to in the past when I scrap, but since starting with Project Life, it has become loads easier.

I've been progressing well in the last 2 weeks, and it seems to get easier as the weeks go by cause the creative juices just flows (thankfully no blocked up minds) and so far this week, I'm already starting on Week 8.

Here are my earlier weeks of 5, 6 & 7.....

Week 5.......

Week 6......

Week 7.....it did get a little tougher to work on the end of this week cause just looking at the photos of Kay been so ill, it was just so heart breaking.....my baby having to suffer.....

I get my inspiration for Project Life from so many other Project Lifers like Leena, Irene, Dorcas & Merdrey....i love love their style......

Hope to get further into my week 8 tonight cause the last few nights I didn't get the energy to progress as much as i would love to....so hopefully work on some stuff tonight....

Have a beautiful Wednesday!!

The last week.....

Had been the best week for me since it's the school holiday week.....even though it's not packed daily with activities as much as I would love to, but at least we get a couple of days to just spent it with him and I've just had a long weekend where it's only the both of us.....yipee!!

Here's what we have been up to last week.....

Visit to the Cybertron Convention at Resort World Sentosa....and as you can see that look on his face, he really doesn't like to be there.....I've got a little guy who likes Transformer, but at the same time terrified....hmmmm



Instead a trip to the candy store is what he likes, especially the trolleys they have that he pushes around the whole store......weee heeee....

A trip to Marks & Spencer, and how much he just loved the Easter Eggs......

Some simple fun time at home with him.....

New toy from Grandpa.....

Easter cupcake baking classes at Bonheur Patisserie at Duxton Road.....cute lil store and very nice people.....

Some more fun at home with my washi tapes again.......i'm just amazed how much he enjoys these tapes.....rolling them around the floor can sent him giggling.....geezzzz.....

For those with lil ones, i believe you had as much fun as i did spending the time with them during the last one week.......

Hope to be back soon with more updates on my Project Life!!!

My Week in a Nutshell.....

This past week seems to go rather slow....and with half the weekend spent at work, it only means I've go to grab whatever time I've left with Kaylen to the max. The school holidays start officially today, and yet we've not really planned out this March hoildays for him cause since we're going to be spending his birthday this year when it comes in May in Hong Kong, and definitely spending his actual birthday at Disneyland. We haven't told Kay about this plan, and also not intending to tell him anything till the times come for us to pack up the luggage, it's going to be a surprise. So this upcoming school holiday week we have planned so far a visit to Cybertron Convention at Resort World, and a mommy & son baking session over at Bonheur Patissere - we're going to be attempting Easter Cupcake classes......Fun!!

So back to our past week stories.....

Our bean experiment which started a week ago today......Kay insisted that his beans are magic ones, and very special unlike mommy's beans......my sprouts just didn't grow as fast as his.....and since then every day when we got home, 1st thing 1st is to have a look at his magic beans.....& a shout from afar - WOOH!!!



His new storybooks came this week......certainly something which i look forward to cause I can be reading the same stories night after night.......

My surprise packages from Etsy shop came for me too.......3 packages in just 1 week.......yipee!!!

Fabric tapes.......

Twines......

& never enough of washi tapes.......

& wrapping up for me this weekend would be to complete what i have started early this week.....Week 5 of Project Life.....

Another half an hour more to the official start of my weekends, and time spent with the lil guy!!

Have a great weekend you all!!
