Bubba Gump

Today hubby & I brought Ariff out for lunch, just us, 3.

"My mama say life is like a box of chocolates".

Ariff's thinking, "Why am I here?". "I want to go home, I want tutu (a.k.a susu)".

To share the beautiful text messages I've received today:

A woman has strengths that amaze men. She can handle trouble and carry heavy burdens. She holds happiness, love and opinions. She smiles when she feels like screaming. She sings when she feels like crying, cries when she's happy and laughs when she's afraid. Her love is unconditional! There's only one thing wrong with her, she sometimes forgets what she is worth..

A mum is a rose whose petals are soft,

a mum is a lily whose stem is tall & strong;

a mum is a person who is never wrong; and

a mum is a person you should love forever..

Trust her,

believe her; and
never doubt her..

Dear Allah, The Almighty, The one that Everknows & Understands. The one that Everloving & Caring, please touch the people I care for. Keep them safe, remind them of your great love & bless them. Especially the one reading this!

Its normal when you're in your 20's, you'll look very 'Mengancam'..

When you're in your 30's, you begin to behave 'Bermacam-macam'..

When you turn 40's to 50's, you'll feel 'Terancam'..

and sadly, when you reach above 60's orang langsung tak boleh 'CAM!!

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy mama day, big mama!!

Thank you for all the beautiful messages, Ladies.. Happy Mother's Day..

Each One Album..

This album I made for Gayn & I. We have lots to share, and lots more to remember. From our home in Brunei and Perth and then to Malaysia. The things we do together (the funny things we do together, hehehe), the funny things we say together (or sing together). This album is an album I want to show to my 2 daughters, how we both were and how they could be together (their endless catfights). I'll have to make another album for my mum and her sis too! 3 generations with 2 girls in the family! That's something to talk about!! Catfights/fun/play/share TOGETHER.

The Best of Me Album..

From the class we had with Kah Mei Smith in Scrappingville. Album is 6x6. I made this album about the Best of each of child and their favourites. Class was only 3.5 hours. Kits/classes are available now in Scrappingville.

An Idea for a Mother's Day Gift

Easy project + low cost + little time = Hanging Canvas

The techniques are.. {painting with acrylic paints, stamping with StazOn or Chalk Fluid (different outcome, depending on what look you're going for), distressing with petroleum jelly, adding buttons or flowers, attaching screw and ribbon on top of canvas for hanging}.
