52Q - Week46 to Week48

I nearly lost the momentum to keep up with this project, until i realised that there are less than 8 weeks to the end of the year... which means this project will be coming to a close soon!!! Jia You, SC!!!



I die-cut the tags with my new Sizzix die, and piece them together like puzzle pieces.



I love this question... and I was amazed at myself for remembering the unit number of the old one-room flat that we used to live in!!!



'Nuff said!!!

52Q - Week43 to Week45

Another lot in the basket...



This is a really quick piece... stamp stamp and used a scrap piece of paper for the question... and the reasons why i can remember what I was doing this time last year were my PAD calendar and my 5-year diary!!! Love them to bits!



I am loving the anyhow-stamp-until-no-ink method to create a repeated background! N ues, the stitching is back, because I needed to de-stress a bit and wind down a bit, so I started piercing the holes... and it grew into a spiderweb! Happy with the outcome!



Yeah! I got to use my "new" clear stamp from Prima... the music score. This piece was part of a set bought for a while, but never opened to use... the same old statement of "too many stamps, too little time" : P

52Q - Week40 to Week42

November has been a crazy crazy month... and I slacked in my weekly crafting exercise. I'd blamed it on the onset of school holidays actually... because my usual crafting window between 7am to 8am is superseded by the routine of waking Lei and chasing him to get ready so that I can fetch him to Woodlands before I head off to work : (

here are the Q&A for the 52Q which I am desperately trying to catch up... as the year draws to an end... Yikes! It is December already!!!



Great question... makes me take stock of some of the important stuffs in life that we tend to sweep under the carpet amidst the busy everyday life. And makes me commit to "do something about it".

I am so liking the raindrops now... and it is so easy to create that effect with the teardrop-shaped inkpads! Felt like the potato-stamping art exercises we used to do in primary school!!!



I am rushing, rushing, rushing... have not really spend much time playing with the boys... looking forward to some serious fun time with them soon, especially since now is the school holiday period... and Xun will start Primary One next year.



After all these years of "hiding in the closet", I am finally admitting that I love Chinese New Year! It is my heritage, my culture, me : )

52Q - Week37 to Week39

Another batch... I am getting current : ) and as the collection grows, it is also a reminder of time passing... as I am posting now, it is 13 more weeks to the end of Year 2010!!! (gasp!)




The tapes and the clouds return!!! Cannot finish using!!!




I am not adventurous when it comes to food... I eat to live... maybe that's why I am so skinny : S




I started with making a list of stuffs that bring me joy... and wonder how am I going to shortlist the most important ones to fit into the 4x6 card... then I realised the commmon thread and I am soooo pleased with my answer : )

52Q - Week34 to Week36

Oh the lovely feeling upon completing something : )




This one was put on hold for weeks (and caused a backlog of the subsequent weeks because I am soooo "stubborn" about proceeding with the sequence... must complete this before moving onto the next one : P)... because I could not find a nice picture of a nest! Finally saw this on a book cover and secretly snappped a picture at the bookstore : P




I had thought this was a tough question. My inital response was : I am not a goddess. I am a mere mortal.




Oooh! I had fun weaving with my MT tapes, since they are not as tacky as the normal tapes... and realised the solid black and white ones are the coolest!!! And the answer format was inspired by the Words With Friends games that I'm hooked on my iPhhone : )

52Q - backtracking (week13 to week16)

final batch of questions & answers from the earlier weeks... and I am done "catching up" : ) now I can focus on the current questions!




I went back to my parents' place and dug for this old photo of mine... it has always been my worst hairdo... glad to be able to put this down for the record! And I had a great time browsing through the old photos and reminiscing about my childhood : )




I looooooove this Patti Digh's book very much, and I intend to re-read the book again. Many meaningful and important insights about life, that totally gel with my own values.




I recycled part of a canvas art piece... happy not to let that go to junk. When I was tabluating the number of years, it dawned upon me that I am one lucky girl... and I am thankful for all the blessings in my life : )




Love this question! So I decided to put in some effort to stitch the letters... love the textures of the embroidery floss.

52Q - backtracking (week10 to week12)

i am slowly working my way to "catch up"...




Happy to use my very old alphabets from the K&Company Letters To Go box... My gosh! That was from some 5 years ago!!! They do not seem to run out!!!




I got a little dirty with the black ink pad for Week 11's project... toned down the bright colours on the patterned paper to better reflect the theme of "at night".




My answers were on the tag tucked into the pocket: good health / loved ones / meaningful hobby and employment. And I played with my distress ink pads and foam applicator and non-stick craft sheet... love the effects created on the tags!

52Q - backtracking (week7 to week9)

I am halfway through to catching up! There is a very special feeling when one sees the progress that one has made... I am looking at my album filling up slowly as I complete each card : )
