All Clear!!

Today, I'm officially out of remission!

Yes, on 28th of February 2003, I underwent an operation in St Mary's Hospital in London to remove a tumour therefore officially yesterday afternoon, I was out of the usual 5 year remission period observed for most cancer patients.

So far my bi-annual medical check-ups have also been ok so here is hoping for the best for the rest of my life :)

Treasure

I finally did this LO that was in my head for AGES!! I knew what I was going to do with it but the Groovie Mini Challenge items were so perfect to complement the photo i.e. the stamped tag, die cuts, butterfly ribbon, pearl beaded chain, Hambly chandelier transparency, 3 Prima flowers and purple ric rack.

This is probably one of the rare times u will find my darling in his monkey suit but it was a requirement of the party theme for the night. The right side of the LO was looking a bit empty even after I put in the butterflies so I cut out some hearts and used them as masks to add some detail to the LO. The CS is Bazzil Bling btw and dont u just love the Heidi Swapp Glitter flowers and Maya Road birdie?!!

Sisters 4 Life

My sister (Jacyn) has arrived in Adelaide safe and sound. Btw this is another sister, I have one in Oxford, UK (Jances, she claims u never know whether she will still be there next year as she feels very stupid among all smart people but she is super smart herself I tell ya) and this one. Anyway, both sisters are on scholarship and I will be visiting one in June this year...finally making my return trip to UK.

So Jacyn apparently has really nice accommodation thanks to Flinders housing and one Hong Kong and a Singaporean housemates who are her seniors in the same course. See, she doesnt even have to go to the library for help. They've brought her shopping for necessities and will be sharing their cooking stuff with her too so its a good thing she didnt bring too much stuff...maybe we just need to send her Mi Goreng.

Her orientation started yesterday....wonder how that went? She claims she will be posting pics somewhere. If ur reading this Jacyn, how about our Sisters4Life Blog? Since it was inactive for a super long time, its time to put stuff on lor.

Anyway, my work hails me....gotta continue LLB (look like busy)

SOMO

I started another subscription for kits. Hopefully it will be more used than my previous ones....I just couldnt resist this one after shopping around all the different sites that sell kits

Some scrapping was done yday...

A better picture of the LO of my dad which I did for what I've realised now is altogether 4 challenges.

Finished making the recipe cards for the swap so I can send them out tmr. Can u see how in love I am with MM's new line?

Made a birthday card for a girlfriend...

And a guy friend.....whose birthdays we celebrated last night....

More pics to come of our funny hats party :)

Dad...I Miss You

This is quite a blur picture, I think I should take another one. Well, this LO was also for 3 challenges namely a DT scraplift over at Scrap-n-Crop, Felicia's Groovie Challenge and June's challenge to use paint instead of PP at Groovie Cafe.

I think cos of thinking of all these challenges I was supposed to do, I just ended up thinking of them when I made this LO. I liked the wavy words and stickers used by Wati in her DT challenge, the challenge to use paint for June's and to use only 2 colours for Felicia's. However as the only stickers I had were brown that matched the colour in the photo too, the only plausible colour I could combine with was white really. I hope u guys like it. I think I should take a better pic tho :p

Its about how much my dad has taught me and how much I miss him. The chipboard was painted brown and stamped with white brilliant ink. I've double matted and raised some of the stickers with foam tape too :)

Thanks Adeline!

This was from a (local) photo swap I arranged some time ago. Scrapper-holic picked my photos and decided to do something different with girly photos. I absolutely love the result! She left me a big space for journalling (which is why this has taken so long to post as I thought for ages what I wanted to write) and wanted me to write freehand, no lines, nothing!....so I did and this is the result....wonder if its the result u envisaged?
