Finally strong-armed myself to drawing an eye over the weekend. *LOL*
Even took out an old watercolour palette to play....:)
Friday
Sometimes pages can be simple....*winks*
Not every page in your gratitude journal needs to be perfectly decorated...I really wanted to include the clothing tags from the two long-sleeved dresses I bought from Muji...and the only space left to decorate was the connecting page. So I added some girl stickers that kind of reflected my current dressing style. And I call it done! *LOL*
Happy weekend friends!
Tuesday
Travel day 2026
We went on a family vacation last month and I strong-armed myself to start scrapbooking immediately (since I haven't even got started on last year's vacation...*oops*)
Having lots of fun with my printer options. And using lots of packaging materials as always.
Look at this cute travel frame!
I even got the stickles out to play (still trying to finish up what I have and not buy any more).:)

Page from the 2025 gratitude journal - new luggage
I really wanted a cabin luggage with the front pocket opening for easy access to my laptop when I travel. It was on 50% off so mum bought her two daughters each a cabin luggage. Yay! Thanks mum!
Can you guess which one is mine? *winks*
Tuesday
Papa Yam's birthday 2026
We recently celebrated Papa Yam's birthday. He picked out his own cake so he looked really pleased...*LOL*
Yep...I even took out my glass cake stand and all. *winks*
The usual mist mash of packaging materials as tabs and fussy cut elements on the page. :)
Friday
Steak kind of day
The other day I brought the folks out for steak.
Mum was very happy...dad was slightly annoyed that photos had to be taken before he could eat...*LOL*
Having fun with the new "frames" on the CP1500 printer....
Especially the food one with the cutlery and checked tablecloth...super fun! :)
Happy weekend friends!

Gratitude Journal 2025 - new makeup
Love that the makeup boxes came with the actual product photos....which were perfect for documentation in the gratitude journal. Also, I wasn't constrained by the square photo so I could play a little more with the layout of the page.:)
Tuesday
My new travel buddies!
Meet my new travel buddies (Miffy x Singapore Airlines)! The luggage tag and the reusable bag were gifts from my sister (from the first release)...I bought the 6 piece packing cubes to complete the set. :)
Friday
Some pages from the Gratitude Journal 2026
I quite enjoyed this Pistachio chocolate that the bestie got me from Italy so the wrapper gets to be in my gratitude journal! *winks*
My sister took the folks for a short getaway during her birthday week...and I scored some Miffy t-shirts! :)
Thursday
Eye drawings on the plane
So I finally made time to draw...on the plane!
Lots of turbulence and the lighting wasn't great but at least I got two done! :)

Pages from February 2026 gratitude journal
This year's gratitude journal features lots of packaging to document the memories.
Like using the Venchi Chocolate wrapper after I've finished eating the chocolate that the bestie got me from Italy. Definitely grateful for that since I no longer buy chocolate locally (prices have doubled!).
And just using stickers and text from the pamphlet to document the first time I bought clothes from this online store. I love that you get some visuals without actually printing photos. :)
Wednesday
Workspace Wednesday - new Staub kitchen friends
Currently in my 7th year of being the main cook in the Yam family household, I've been slowly adding my own stuff to make the experience a little more pleasant. Scored some ceramic ware from a recent trip to Kuala Lumpur. And yes, I work on a one in, one out system so that we don't accumulate too much stuff.
Tuesday
Gratitude Pages from August 2025
Got some really fun sandals from Camper! And new luggage from the airlines because they couldn't repair the damage to my old one.:)
Monday
Make Stuff Monday - upcycled matcha whisk container
I'm old school when it comes to making matcha. I love getting out my ceramic chawan and bamboo whisk to make my matcha latte. Unfortunately no matter how careful you are, the bamboo whisk needs to get replaced every 6 months or so. My recent matcha whisk came in a sturdy cardboard container...which makes for a lovely up cycling project! *high fives all around*
