Gotta bake again soon....

Was going through my photos and saw the cake I baked and decorated for N's 2nd birthday (yup, that's one and a half years ago!) to suit her choice of butterfly garden party theme. Hmmm... it's been a while since I baked cakes, cookies, etc.

Gotta do that again, hopefully soon after we finish the whole house move thing. Especially, baking cupcakes - N loves helping me decorate them... and eating them, especially the frosting, LOL!


Btw, these cupcakes were made with the leftover batter, butter cream and sugar flowers from the main butterfly cake. Actually had enough leftover for about 20 cupcakes... because I had over-estimated how much I needed, haha!

Sweet Little Girlfriends

N and A are such sweet friends. They love each other and play well together. Sure, they have their differences and little quarrels - yes, even though they are both only 3 and a half years old, LOL! When we found out that their current preschool was going to close for good, I decided to make this a photo keepsake for A and get N to give it to her on Valentine's Day.


Was so bogged down with the house matters that I couldn't find time to do it earlier but fortunately managed to make it in the morning of 14th Feb itself! Hence, I kept it very simple which, as it turned out, also made it easy for N to help put in the heart and butterfly stickers.


The good news now is that by sheer coincidence, N and A are both transferring to the same new preschool - so the little friends will be together after all!

Look what my little girl made!

Am so proud of my 3-and-a-half-yr-old! She made this birthday card for my mum in January, pretty much all on her own, choosing the stamps, inks and peg embellishments, even cutting the stamped images by herself (I pencilled a simple outline for her to follow).

Also made this accordion tag for my mum, using K & Co's accordion tag kit. It features pictures of my little girl and grandma, and I also decided to cover the blank raw chipboard at the back with a simple layout of a sweet poem I found about grandmothers.

On a different note, I'm so tired with all the prep for the house move, the to- and fro-ing (and sadly, the correcting of mistakes) with renovation contractors - why can't they get things done properly and with care..aaargh!

Am probably bummed out most because I'm dying to scrap, make cards, alter stuff, basically do anything remotely crafty but simply don't have the time nor the space right now!

That's why I'm really looking forward to doing a class at an LSS this Friday - really need the breather.

Finally another post!

Well, it's not much but at least it's a start! I've been busy over the past few months, had to do the Christmas prep before we took off to spend Christmas with the family in Europe, followed by the Chinese New Year prep - and on top of it all, overseeing the renovation of the new house (still ongoing - the plan is to move in March)!

So with whatever little time I've got now - I thought I'd upload this bright orange layout that I did for a MWL challenge (Merdrey's "one and only"). Thought it suits the Chinese New Year festive mood!

I hope I'll have more time to scrap and craft more after moving house. On a note related to the house move, I will be clearing out stuff so will have RAKs to give away. More details later!

Meanwhile, happy Chinese New Year to all who celebrate it!
