Pictures paint a thousand words...

I did a layout yesterday... Painted the side of the CS...

This piece is a 8x8 piece.. First time trying out this size... Quite cute!! Haha..

Last but not least... this is meant for Nana.. As I'm transfering to HQ soon.. this will consider a "farewell" gift from me to show that friendship last no matter where you are..

What does my name mean?

You Are Empathetic and Caring

You are loving, compassionate, and ruled by your feelings. You are able to be a foundation for other people... but you still know how to have fun. Sometimes your emotions weigh you down, but you generally feel free from them. You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together. You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow. You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get worked up easily. Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is. You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. You are very open. You communicate well, and you connect with other people easily. You are a naturally creative person. Ideas just flow from your mind. A true chameleon, you are many things at different points in your life. You are very adaptable. You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality.

What's Your Name's Hidden Meaning?

Felicia is now...

void of energy... YEF Heats drain all my energy level.. Although my work is just mainly reporting but... being there from morning 8.30am to 5.30pm... just drain all my energy away..

But it's an eye opener as I get to see how Yamaha organise festivals and concert... This is my first YEF... I know there are more to come...

I hope to learn the ropes fast and be a helping hand to them!

Now is time to restore my energy...

zzzzzzzzzz

Creative Flower... for desktop

I aim to do something like this... one day and to display it on my office table.. =)

Threaded the buttons onto a felt House flower, making sure to keep excess string on the backside of the flower. This excess thread gets tied around a skewer stick, securing the flower to the front of the stick. A glue dot can help hold it in place.

You can place your flowers in something prettier than a pop can, but I recommend adding flour or sand in the bottom first to help keep your skewer sticks from swinging around.
This little bouquet is great to set on your desk or on the bookshelf. A perfect way to brighten up the room before the real blossoms start to appear!

It's time for me to stock up those felt flowers and buttons!

Mini Album {2007 Hk trip}

Recently I brought a rectangle mini wood album.. wanting to try out the efforts of a mini album.. and here is the finish product...

Why am i so in to making mini albums recently??? Hmm..

I guess only when on vacation, one would take tons of pictures... and 1 scrapbook layout is not enough for me to fit all my favourite photos from my holiday. So in order to fit everything inside.. mini album has come to my rescue...

(^_^)

My First "Farewell" Gift

As mention in my previous entry.. I'm going to change to a new environment next week.. I'm looking forward to a new change and also preparing myself to learn more new things and experience.

This layout was done for me specially by Sarah.. she's is another scrapping buddies! I love this layout.. The colors and how she layer and cut the PP... So nice!! I love it!! Thanks Sarah!!

As I won't be at PS so often, which meant lesser trips to MWL.. maybe i can save more $$!! (^_^) But i will make a point to go down on 2 Thursday, just to replenish my stocks...

Felicia is a....

happy girl because she has her LONGCHAMP bag.. and it was personally, hand delivered by Kae Nain (our Yamaha teacher)!!! Thank you so much, Kae Nain!!! (^_^)

And guess what.. the price is so much more cheaper than what it is selling here in Singapore... A total of approx $73 difference... with that extra $73, i can buy another Coach wristlet!! hahahha

I'm a bag lover and since last year... I've been controlling myself to purchase just 2 -3 bags in a year... previously I buy bags like every 2 -3 mths.. hehe...

Now with my growing passion of scrapping.. I have to control my shopping spree on bag!

Wed: Do a cardio workout for 60 mins at a heart rate of 150 beats per min.

Although I've been saying that I want to keep fit.. but till now I've yet to purchase a pair of track shoes!!!!! Hahahahahah

I think once I've change to a new environment... it's time for me to start exercise!! =)

Simple and Nice

As i stalk blog one of my favorite stamp maker's blog.. i came across this layout.. I like the wavy borders make up the whole white space and there isn't a need to have any pattern paper...
Such clever ideas.. which reminds me that I do have a pack of borders clean stamp somewhere in my collections of stamps..



hmm... perhaps when i run out of ideas, i can scrap lift!!

I scrap again...

Recently I've been quite busy with change of job environment and need to clear up all my paper work at my current office... Till i don't have much time to scrap.. especially on my friends and family...

But today i finally have a idea to scrap but not for me... It's for Linah's daughter... Through out these 1 year plus.. I've been "supplying" my scrap layouts to her.. as her wanted to create a scrapbook album for her daughter, En En.... I told her that she need to do 1 layout for En En all by herself as it's easily to think of a title and journal... But well, time is always an issue.. But for me.. no matter how busy I am.. I will definitely take time to scrap and journal as these are all part of my memories....
