Still having fun in the birdie playbook. This looks like kiddy art! *LOL*
Friday
A page from the gratitude journal - new YSL lipstick
This year has been pretty much about using the stuff I have before acquiring anything new. Like this YSL lipstick that I had been hoarding for no good reason. I obviously bought it because I like the colour so why was I not using it? So I did and I love it! :)
Happy weekend friends!
Wednesday
Workspace Wednesday - packaging as tabs
Hello friends! You know on the tabs on my layouts and projects? Yep, I use packaging boxes for them. They come in a variety of colours and sizes and are great for adding a little detail to a corner....perhaps as a mat for a sticker or just a space to write the date/location. :)
Tuesday
Getting back to the mixed media birdie playbook
Almost into the last quarter of the year and I really want to finish up this mixed media birdie playbook. So let's get to it! *encouraging music plays in the background*
I think my birdies are looking more decent these days. Remember how fat my birdies were when I first started? *LOL*
Friday
Friday's desk - new vases
Just came back from Saigon and scored these ceramic cute vases....can't wait to pretty them up with flowers!
Happy weekend friends!:)
Thursday
Nephew #1's visit
Nephew #1 had a biking accident and broke his front tooth so he flew back to Singapore (He's studying in Melbourne) to get it fixed.
Of course, he had to come over to visit his grandparents and eat a meal prepared by his fave aunt. *winks*
This boy lived with us full-time for 6 years. And it's interesting to see him navigate his life independently now. He's sporting a perm and bleached highlights in his hair. He's wearing a fish hook pendant to reflect his current fishing passion. And still doing really well in med school. So proud of this boy. :)
Lots of packaging here ...been really loving paper tearing to create texture and movement.
Wednesday
Workspace Wednesday - happy mail from a dear friend
The last two months have been particularly challenging - mentally and emotionally. So it was such a pleasant surprise to receive unexpected happy mail from a dear friend. :)
Time to feed my creative soul!
Tuesday
Gratitude pages - Sephora event
It's been a while since I attended a Sephora event...but I used my points to redeem a ticket to attend one recently. And it was good. Lots of new products to try and get samples of. And a goodie bag worth $400. :)
Monday
Monday's desk - self-love flowers
Happy Monday friends! How about getting self-love flowers this week? Get it from the grocery store or from your garden and arrange them in a vase (currently obsessed with mine *winks*) on your desk. Enjoy them as you go about your week. :)
Friday
Steak with nephew#1
Nephew #1 was back in Singapore (he's studying in Australia) and we went out for everyone's fave - steak!
Really trying to use up my mismatched alphas in a creative way... (can you tell? *LOL*)
Could not find the right numbered stickers so just went in with my acrylic paint markers.
And yes, now nephew#1 also loves to take food photos. He got it from his aunt. *winks*
Tuesday
Page from the gratitude journal - starting my Staub collection
Life is short...buy some lovely dinnerware to eat out of....*LOL*
P/s: Scored some Staub dinnerware at their pre-renovation sale.:)
Monday
Make Stuff Monday - back to decorating paper bags
It's been a while...apparently I haven't been doing much shopping *LOL*....but I finally have a paper bag to decorate. :)
The usual packaging scraps and random stuff from my stash.
Thursday
This week's pages from the gratitude journal 2026
My happy mail from Lizzy went gallivanting in Malaysia before arriving in Singapore. Apparently it must happen quite often seeing that they actually have a specific stamp for it. Clearly had to be documented right? *LOL*
Monday
The weird layout - The Great Wall of China
The logical way would be to create a grid layout with all the photos the same size and maybe numbered to help tell the story. But in a single page grid-style layout, the photos will all be very small. I personally love creating with a lot more white space so I really loved the card size Selphy printer photos. But the media is very expensive and the old folks can't see the photo details clearly. I also try to tell the story with very little journaling because nobody reads it...they just want to see the photos.
I'm trying to just do ONE family layout a month now. The amount of scrapbooks I have is ridiculous.
Anyway, we woke up really early to get to The Great Wall of China. To beat the crowds and the afternoon heat.
Made it down in time for a yummy lunch before heading back to the city.
