Another busy week. Did manage to do two eye drawings. :)
Enjoy your weekend friends!
Tuesday
My "new" Pandora bracelet
A couple of years ago when Pandora bracelets were all the rage, I did want to get one. But it was a couple of hundred dollars to get the bracelet plus the charms I wanted. Which was ridiculous for silver-plated costume jewellery.
Fast forward to July this year, I played the claw machine at a mall and won the Pandora heart charm (pictured). It is red when it's cold and turns pink when it's warm with faint text that says "always" on one side and "I love you" on the other.
Since my dad and nephew #3 were watching other people play the claw machine and not having any luck, they were pretty impressed by my "skill" at winning something. *LOL* Clearly I had to keep my good luck charm right? *winks*
Fast forward to this week when I finally bought a preloved Pandora bracelet for S$55 (with all the charms pictured) and added my colour-changing hidden message heart charm. :)

Monday's page from the gratitude journal - just another homecooked meal
It is nice to look back at what I was doing last year for my homecooked meals. Last year the focus was getting a huge variety of veggies/herbs in meals. This year my focus is more on getting more protein in each meal as the old folks are losing muscle mass.

Thursday
They really love ice-cream..*winks*
Yep...the two oldies really love ice-cream.
Dad couldn't even take his eye off the ice-cream to pose for a series of photos. Of all the photos (scrapbookers take multiples for safety reasons...*winks*), there was just THAT one photo that he was looking at the camera. *LOL*
This layout came together quite quickly because I really wanted to use that scrunched up wrapping tissue in my stash that was driving me nuts. So I just used that as my "patterned paper" and added small fun elements to complete the layout. :)
Wednesday
Workspace Wednesday: Just two this week
Just back from Hanoi and easing back to my eye drawing routine. Just two to share for this week.:)
Tuesday
Someone got Christmas nails!
The girl was in Hanoi last week and got Christmas nails! *happy music plays in the background*
Aren't they cute?
I went for 10 different designs....one for each nail...because I'm extra. *LOL*
Friday
Friday's decorated envelope project
Another week...another decorated envelope project. :)
Still having fun with the fussy-cut Jane Davenport faces. :)
Happy weekend friends!
Thursday
Just 1 eye drawing again
This sketchbook is taking a while to complete given my slow weekly progress *sad music plays in the background*. But 1 is better than 0 so here is this week's eye drawing. :)
Wednesday
Workspace Wednesday - someone has an Apple Watch
Well, someone has an Apple Watch now and is obsessed as usual. Yep, she's tracking everything. Strength-training. Outdoor walk. Outdoor swim. Sleep. And the one watch already has three "outfits" aka straps 2 weeks in. Ahem. So far.
That's how I roll friends. *LOL*
Tuesday
This week's page from the gratitude journal - Sentosa
This week's page from the gratitude journal is really all about the bunny in sunnies that I saw at Sentosa when I went for a Van Gogh digital exhibition. The exhibition was a bust (when you've seen the real stuff in Europe, the digital version just sucks) but I did enjoy a lovely day on Sentosa island (which is very touristy).
Monday
Make Stuff Monday - back to a fun decorated paper bag
It's been a while but let's get back to a fun decorated paper bag! *winks*
I went all in with my diecuts and happy mail bits. Can you tell? *LOL*
Happy week ahead friends!
Friday
This week's pages from the gratitude journal - catch-up with my Aussie mate
This week's pages from the gratitude journal is all about friendship. Lizzy and I would never have crossed paths in real life if not for the creative world and blogging. Here we were after not seeing each other in person for 4 almost four years due to Covid. Glad we got to spend some time together last year since I couldn't make it to Oz this year and stars couldn't align for us to meet in Vietnam either.
P/s: I had fun with this spread because I got to use my word diecuts across the two pages....:)

Wednesday
Workspace Wednesday - an upcycled envelope
Hello friends, I'm getting back to creating again. :)
Yep...just a bunch of random stuff put together. :)
A page from the Gratitude Journal - the yusheng from Kuriya Dining
Today's page from the gratitude journal is about the yusheng from Kuriya Dining (my fave local Japanese restaurant).
Yusheng is a raw fish salad dish typically eaten during the Chinese Lunar New Year in Singapore and Malaysia. There are lots of "auspicious" ingredients in this dish and we would gather around the table with our chopsticks to mix the ingredients together while exclaiming prosperous phrases.
I love the one from Kuriya Dining because they include other sashimi seafood like prawns and scallops in addition to the raw fish...you know I love my sashimi. *winks*
P/s: It's not a historical Chinese practice but a marketing gimmick that really appeals because the Chinese character for fish is Yu which means abundance...so eating this dish signifies that you will get abundance for the year.
Tuesday
More eye drawings from the sketch book
Hope you are having a great week so far...
