growing up

I remember my parents bringing me to Botanic Gardens during my childhood to run around and feed the swans. The lush greenery is ever so beautiful. It's no surprising that my mom, now grandma likes to bring R to the botanic garden too.

Getting all excited to go to the garden even though you were just learning to walk.


The garden now also has the Jacob Ballas Children's Garden which is a sure hit with the kids, including R who loves the water feature there... It's been a while since she's gone because she is constantly having running nose :(

{Your kind of play }
{sweet child: always and forever}


Really happy with the result of this layout... I cut up the paper and made the sun rays pop up! It really added a new dimension to the layout :)

R love water, be it showering or a dip in the pool. That particular day when we went Jacob Ballas Garden, the moment she heard the water gushing out at the water play area, she pointed out and shouted loudly 'Go-go-ki". That's her baby talk for bathing. It was so spontaneous and I'm so glad I managed to capture it.


* loving the details *


This one's for R's album

Witnessing R's growing up is really amazing for me, especially when I'm in the field. How much she learns and how fast she does so makes feel heartened (at her wonderful growth) and saddened (when I work with atypically developing children). All the more I am grateful and thankful for the little things that R can do.

*bless you my little niece*

more from the phuket trip

It seemed really long ago since the trip, even though it was only at the beginning of the year.

More layouts that I did... some for my own album and some similar pics for R's album.

A family pic and another one


Mom and Dad enjoying the breeze


the details of the layered paper flowers... I had so much fun cutting and layering it.. Am loving the fabric button too!


More layouts to come soon...
but meanwhile, my sony printer is sick.. boohoo... the cartridge is stuck! It needs to see the doc.. Hope it'll be ok. I still have 2 new cartridges and about 40 sheets of photo paper to use up. I'm hoping I don't need to get a new printer. It has served me well for almost 4 yrs!

long long ago

when she was still 1 years old...

The hoarder in me...

I have been diligently scrapping over the weekends, making use of many of the much hoarded papers that I refused to use before... I've also been good and only bought very selected range of products that I dream and stare at for many moons!

It feels really good when the boxes of papers looks *slightly* emptier and I can throw packaging boxes away.

Much as I'm *embarassed* to post this LO... here it is.. scrapping my annual countdown of my age... hehe....

Another layout of a same pic from the previous post. This time the layout for for my own album :)

Thanks for dropping by! Hope everyone has a great week ahead...
