Happy Chinese New Year!

Hi all..

didn't mean to be so absent in my blogging (wondering whether anyone read my blog or not), but because of the Chinese New Year, this time we went to Surabaya to celebrate it with my family.

It was fun, tiring, and I learned my lesson! Next time I'm bringing my nanny with me! This time I thought I can handle the kids, which I can (easy peasy!), but that leaves me no time to talk to my parents or meet my friends. It's just kids all the time... the good thing is I spend a lot of time with my kids over there..

ookay.. now that's done, let me show you the Chinese New Year's eve dinner that we prepared.. (yes, me and my mom cooked, and my husband watched the kids for me!)

the cold dish with the lucky hair

the shrimp. we squaled like a pig when we fried the shrimp. oil everywhere!

abalone and the white mushroom

porky feet and mushroom, my dad specialty

crab, bought it in Istana Berkat, not so good, Kenari has way better crabs, but they all sold out

fish, bought in Ikan Bakar Cianjur.

And so, those are what we ate in our family's dinner. And here's my two girlies, wishing you all a prosperous, blessed New Year!

For Valentine's Day gift

Hi all..

I made a home decor box, perfect for Valentine's gift, or any other day to show your love to your loved ones..

Here's a custom made scrapbox made from hearts and butterflies.





If you notice, on the top photo, there are empty row on the hearts frame, it's because it's been left like that for a purpose, which is I will inset the 3 hearts, using your own wording/name/date.

So each heart, (that's in empty rows, would be replaced with the hearts below) shown in bottom photos here, I will typed it using your name, your message, date or initials that you like. or even insert: i love you.



It's Rp. 150,000 for each scrapboxes. Beautifully made, and the papers are written about valentines', love, family. If you want to order, pls sms me at 0817.0333.0687.
Thanks for looking!

another Christmas layout

Hi all..

if you live in Jakarta.. pheww.. these past couple days (including now) the weather has been crazy!
We have mini thunderstorm, lots of winds, lots of tree fell, and that lead to lots of traffic!
The rain just come and go as it pleased, very heavy rain with lots of wind, and then wait another half an hour, the rain is gone again.. pheww.. I'm not sure whether I like rainy season or summer season better..

Here's another gazilion of layout that I made during the holiday, they all are commissioned. So again, if you want to give something to someone dear who has everything, here's your solution! Just come to me with a photo, and I'll make these layouts with the frame included, for a fee.

This is a Christmas layout that all the parents are giving to the teachers at school. I'll admit this particular layout is not my usual minimalist style.. because the base paper itself doesn't call for it. So I challenged myself to use more papers and decorations.. See if you like it.. but I sure hope the teacher really likes it! ha ha ha..





well, happy wednesday-ing!

first year baby boy mini album

Happy Saturday everyone!

Today I'm posting a mini album that I made, for a special baby boy. It's basically a year mini album for Nicholas. It's a stitched mini album, if you see the sewing part of the papers. Basically I'm sewing the album, paper by paper, and the top part of it, it's open, so we can stuff papers, more photos in between the papers. Next time I will take the photos of the machine stitched album, so you can see them more clearly.

Warning: it's a photo heavy, as it's 12 pages for each month.

Hope you enjoy them!
























Hope you enjoy your weekend as well!
