Let's head straight to the good stuff - there's no X'mas without presents, right? Here's your chance to win some goodies! We can never get enough right? Yay!

All you have to do is to check out the photo above and help me out with a possible title for a layout. A little background on the photo...This was taken on my mum's birthday with her three grandsons -my nephews...:) The photo cracks me up because the oldest (the poser) has his gameface on, #2 is reading his book the wrong side up and the littlest one is grumpy because he needs a diaper change....lol.

So, title my next layout based on the photo for a chance to win my first blog giveaway! Yay! I'll be giving I'm giving away a box of my favourite embellishments, actual stuff I use on my projects (as featured on my blog) - all the good stuff....:) and a personalized handmade gift to the person who comes up with the most creative title for my soon-to-be-scrapped layout. Easy peasy, right?

So are you going to help me out? I'll be quite sad if nobody took part in my first blog giveaway :(
But I'm sure there are some nice people around *wink*...:)

Enjoy the rest of the party back at Maggi's! You don't have to visit all the blogs listed but I understand that there are some wonderful giveaways.....*wink* so why not just spread the X'mas in July Blog Party cheer? Happy Saturday!

The three bowls

The three bowls of the Pavilion Crystal Fountain

The Pavilion Kuala Lumpur shopping mall

Malaysia

I was in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia last week on a short break and went to see the newest iconic structure that was inducted into the Malaysia Book of Records as the country's tallest crystal fountain. The fountain which consists of three bowls with the hibiscus motif (Malaysia's national flower) serves as an emblem of progression of Malaysia as a nation.

This makes me hungry

I love a new month. It means a trip to my favourite Japanese restaurant. I love the small portions they serve in the 7 course meal...a little taste of everything. Don't you love the way the Japanese present food? This makes me hungry...:)

Happy Monday!

Bird Bench

Isn't this bird bench cute? I love benches. From the time I watched the movie "Notting Hill"...Remember that bench that Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts' characters saw when they climbed over the fence to the garden? The one with the engraving:"For June who loved this garden, from Joseph who always sat beside her."?

Aww...I'm a sucker for romantic gestures...:) Apparently, it's closer in proximity to me now than at the time the movie was filmed. It is now residing in Perth, Australia. You can see a picture of it here.

Birds eating papayas

One of my favourite fruits is the papaya. Red, sweet and juicy and packed with loads of antioxidants. My bestie thinks it's bird food. This is a picture of some birds eating papayas at the bird park. Can you see them? And what's left of the papayas? :)

Waterfall

There's something about a waterfall that is very appealing...is it the rapid flow of water or is it the luscious greenery that usually surrounds it? This is the image I conjure up when I have to endure the heat on the sunny island I live on. How do you stay cool?

The scent of a woman

The scent of a woman. In a gloriously designed bottle.

I love this uplifting scent from Moschino. I feel empowered when I wear this scent. I don't wear it everyday (because I have way too many bottles of perfume) but I wear it every time I feel like I need a lift. This is my go-to scent. What's yours?
