Ben & Mandy's 2nd Anniversary

Been pretty busy lately with my new job that I hardly have time to craft, let alone to blog about it. Feels like it's been ages since I've blog about cards. However, thank God I still have some time to do crafting. This is one of my latest projects this month, requested by Mandy for her 2nd anniversary :) My first attempt to make an "almost proper" book.

The pages designed as a calendar for each month(Mandy's idea). I design the left page with some pockets to insert pictures and note cards that she writes messages for him or copy down sms that she treasures :)

Mini envelopes to insert their tickets.

Calendars jotting down the movies, birthdays, valentines and other festive dates that they celebrated together. She'll add more in on places they've visited.

The note cards for messages and sms records :) and more pictures below showing inserted ones.

Scrapbooking Stores in Malaysia

Last updated 14th March 2014 I first did this research back in 2008. I was very surprised and excited to find scrapbooking and craft shops blooming in Malaysia. I'm still grateful that we Malaysians are able to have have access to buy these supplies today. I hope we will be able to get more and more brands into Malaysia. ^^ I don't mind sharing these info as I believe "Sharing is Caring" and I would love to see more Malaysian crafters coming out with lovely production to enhance our local crafting market. Also, I hope you all would pass on the information to other fellow beginners ^^ Anyways, this is a recent update I did of the shops I know/found. Don't think its complete though. Some are shops that I've personally found and visited while others are from research and some are recommended by friends or readers of my blog. And from my very own personal experience, some of my personal favourite shops (in no particular order) are as belo...

The Power of Positive Thinking

WARNING: This is a Looooooong Post :P I'm reading a book titled "The Power of Positive Thinking" by Norman Vincent Peale. Actually this is a book i bought on 20th July, 2002 and didn't finish it for some reasons that I don't remember. Then lately, out of the blue, I took it out to read it all over again, hopefully being able to finish it this time :P Neways, that's the history of the book and me. I'm at chapter 2 now and I came across a very unique practice of a man. It reads: It is possible, even in the midst of your daily work, to drive confident thoughts into consciousness. Let me tell you about one man who did so by the use of a unique method. One icy winter morning he called for me at a hotel in a Midwestern city to take me about thirty-five miles to another town to fill a lecture engagement. We got into his car and started off at a rather high rate of speed on the slippery road. He was going a little faster than I thought reasonable, and I reminded h...
