A Holly Jolly Christmas

Merry Christmas Everyone, may you have a Holly Jolly Christmas.

Window with Tree Trimming

This time I made a little window at the front of the card to show the little ornaments.  After i made it, i think the card was a little too small, perhaps i can make it bigger.

Seasons Surfin’ stamp set

The Seasons Surfin’ stamp set was a good set to tinker my coloring mood today.

All Spruced Up for Christmas

Tree Trimmings Crazy

I felt in love with the Tree Trimmings stamp set this year for Christmas.  I was very ambitious and decided to stamp 2 sheet worth of the ornaments and cutting it out.  It was not a hideous task at all.  I stamped the image at my craft room up stairs and went down stair to the TV room and put a movie on.  Before the movie finishes, I was already done with cutting.  I have definitely improve my cutting skill as I went on cutting more and more.

Worry about Mummy

Mummy is in the hospital again.  This time it is pretty serious.  Since she returned home on the 15 September 2009, she has gone back for 2 minor surgery; the first one was to move to Ventriculoperitoneal shunt to the back on the head and the second surgery was due to some blockage was at the distal end (tummy end).  This time is very serious; she now has some bacteria infection in the water space in the brain and now they have to remove the Ventriculoperitoneal shunt and replace it with an external tube to divert the water out of the system.  Then they have to clear the bacteria then they will put in a new Shunt.

When I heard that news, I was so devastated, haven’t my mummy gone through enough?  Why this has to happen to her?  What has she done to deserve this?  I no longer know what to think anymore and what to expect anymore. 

Everyday I tell myself that no news is good news.  Keeping my hope up but today I felt a little lost and not sure what to do anymore.  I want to go home but if I do that then it would alarmed the people around us; people are going to wonder why am I back all of a sudden.  Especially for grandma, I don’t want her to worry about anything hence I am in the dilemma on whether to go or not to go.

All I can do now is pray to God.

Happy Birthday Tegan

Today is “honey bear” Tegan’s birthday.  Tegan is a colleague from work and she is a very lovely person; friendly, funny and sexy.

Happy Birthday Donna

I know that I have been missing in action in my little crafting world; actual fact is I have been making cards just did not have the time to post it.  Despite these knotty periods, I always find comfort in my little craft space.

Today is my boss’s birthday.  I got this layout from some challenge ages ago, I like this DSP a lot; it makes the card more lively.

I showed it to hubby after I made it, and his response was “this is so your boss”, what he meant was the card is so like her, very elegant.

I really love the “for a friend” stamp set, I have used it in many ways and thinks that it always fitted in no matter what.

Christmas Swap

The Flight Home was not as comfortable, it was a full flight and there were lots of babies crying on board.  It was good to be finally back in Brisbane, life is stating to go back to normal, things at home is more settle down, now that the wedding has come and gone, mummy’s condition is getting better, I guess I have not much to be worrying about for a while.

 I was suppose to go to Leah’s Christmas Swap on the 09 October 2009 but because I was still in KL for my wedding holiday therefore I did not make it but I promised her that I will do the swap and give it to her.  This is what I did today to unwind and getting ready to be back to work tomorrow. 

Wedding Cupcakes from Big Boys Oven

I knew exactly what I want for the wedding dinner on the 27^th September 2009.  I wanted cupcakes; lots and lots of cupcakes.  I have two vendors in mind and along the trail for some funny reason I have a thought that they were related; but they are not, in fact they are two separate styles.  I have been following Delectable and Big Boys Oven website since late last year and I even goggle about them on a regular basis.

Remembered, I went home late July because mummy has taken ill.  This was the time when I first meet with Sidney from Big Boys Oven; Sidney came across very approachable whilst speaking over the phone, he is also very accommodating with the meeting time and venue.

I meet up with Sidney at Starbucks in Kota Damansara; we sat down and had a chat.  I told him what I had in mind and he gave me some ideas.  I decided to go with him because it seems like he knew what I was talking about and I felt like there is a connection there.  Without any hesitation I paid him the deposit and got another task off my list.  Sidney assure me that I will not need to worry about anything on the day as he will come and stack the cupcake up and it will be perfect.

On the 27 Septmeber 2009. Sidney came by at about 5:30pm to set up the cake, i peep at his car and i saw all the beautiful cupcakes at the front seat.  I was so tempted to go and grab one but i was in the mid of my make up hence was not able to go down until later. 

I was so happy with the look and the taste of the cupcakes and many guest complimented on the lovely cupcakes.  Thanks sidney.
