Pressies

Rec'd this Pooh mini-projector from hailey mummy, to be used in the dark....and nicky loves it! and he's catching it like a kitten too! :)

X'mas pressie from Linda to nicky :)

It all begin cos i wanted to get a bear for nicky. Last week, when we were out,nicky saw a teddy in another stroller near him and he was reaching out to touch it...and that was when i realised that nicky doesnt have a decent sized teddy! :( sorry darling.

That nite, after dully's dinner we went to mothercare and i chanced upon this teddy, which is really soft enough to cuddle. And decided to get it as a x'mas gift for nicky cos Rach has been asking what am i buying for nicky and i really have no idea? So i tot this will be it. At the cashiers', both linda & cheryl oso had something to buy and then linda decided to pay for everything as a gift to both nicky & hailey for x'mas.

Thank you linda and this is how nicky reacted when he saw the teddy that nite when he woke up for milk :)

and i made he do the love-love thingy to his new teddy! :)

Scrapbooking

i have wanted to do this a long time. To do a scrapbook for nicky, but i don't know where & how to start. So today, i started looking up the web and asked jessica for advice. I did some homework, printed some ideas to go along and decided to go to novena sq after work to start shopping! Thanks to jessica for giving me advice on how to start my 1st scrapbook! and thanks to ah dee, who brought me to novena sq to look for the shop.

The shop name is Junior de Artist, where i started my mission.

Needed to decide on the size of my scrapbook. Asked the guy at the shop and he showed me the different sizes, recommended me to start with simple designs since this is my 1st time doing this. Showed me many examples on how i can play around with the printed & glittered paper, shared some ideas...and most importantly how my flow should be as i go along...

Not a pushy salesperson cos he didn't ask me to get everything at his shop. Instead, he said, "save money, use ur double-sided tape can already, no need to get the glue". i was like....ok....good....
Picked what i needed and what i liked from the stuff he brought out and the damage was not as bad as i tot :)
He even said, go back and start, as you go along, then decide what else you need. I was asked to go back with my book if i needed help or ideas.

Left the shop with the basics: an album, cardstock stacks, printed & glittered paper and some stickers :)

do share with me your masterpieces, scrapbooking materials (on discounts), stickers, etc.... :)

No hands!

yesterday, i manage to catch this rare chance of nicky standing by the side of his playpen, balancing and the next minute, he was holding my handphone with 2 hands.... :)
