Really wanted to play with my neglected art supplies...and also do something fun. So back to the birdie playbook! *winks*
Played with acrylic paints, acrylic markers, water-soluble pencils and coloured pencils. :)

Pages from the 2026 Gratitude Journal - Hanoi trip
Really happy to include travel ephemera in my gratitude journal to document my journey. These days I find myself more into appreciating life as it happens than always taking my phone out to take photos.
I usually take a hotel address card with me so I can arrange for deliveries to my hotel and instead of recycling the card, I just incorporated it in my gratitude journal...

Beijing Trip Day 1
We arrived at our hotel in Beijing in the wee hours of the morning and first stop after a night's rest was Yuan Ming Yuan - the old Summer Palace. Huge place to explore...ruins mostly and a lot of greenery. The thing about visiting China is that there is no getting away from walking because everything is large-scale *LOL*. And also no getting away from the local tourists.
Tried my best to not include other people in my photos...*winks*
Just the usual mist mash of scraps and packaging bits.

Gratitude pages from 2025 - happy stuff
Got a bunch of happy stuff last November...tried to be strategic with the photo....and also included cut-out packaging bits. :)
Monday
Mixed Media Monday - first eye drawing of the month
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).:)
Friday
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!
Thursday
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! :)
