52Q - Week31 to Week33

The past few weeks were crazy... lots happening at work... Xun's childcare centre's shutdown for 10 days because of HFMD outbreak... so I am skipping my daily crafting time in the mornings, sneaking in 5 mins here and 10 mins there, to feed my soul...




The answer side was part of a bigger piece of canvas art... Instead of relegating it to cold storage, I decided to cut it up and recycle... love the techniques and effects with paints and gesso!





I dedicated this piece to the very reason behind this project : )





For the longest time, my Wednesdays are centred around the weekly shipment arrivals...every week, we keep our fingers crossed... Sometimes I marveled at how long we have kept up with this mad cycle... every week, every Wednesday... At some point in time, I have in fact grown to resent Wednesdays because of this... but the job has to be done, it will be done.

52Q - Week28 to Week30

Gosh! Another three weeks have passed!




This is my first and VERY LAST attempt at doing "cute"... Can die!!! I've always suspected that I really cannot make it... At least now it's official!!!





Seriously, i often dreamt of my teeth dropping out. I worry too much lah! Luckily every time I woke up, they are still intact!!!





I cannot begin to tell you how much my mother has done for me... and how very blessed I am!!!

Another month has passed...

52Q - Week25 to Week27

I have been good. I have more or less kept up with my 52Q project : )

Amongst this lot, my favourite question was Q26. After completing this, I was very tempted to go write on my wall. Seriously. But I do not have the "courage" to do it. Yet. And i cannot explain why...

Photo A Day Calendar 2010: Mar / Apr / May / Jun

I am catching up with the calendar! I have been selecting quotes that speak to me, and stamping them on the bottom part of the layout. Mostly from the book "LIfe Is A Verb" by Patti Digh. I love her writing very very much. Though the book took a while to finish, the content is so inspiring! I am planning to re-read the book again and again!

Here goes for March / April / May / June:

Be Present

Life is the ultimate teacher, but it is usually through experience and not scientific research thhat we discover its deeper lessons. We are all here for a single purpose: to grow in wisdom and learn to love. We can do this through losing as well as through winnng, by having and by not having, by succeeding or by failing. All we need to do is to show up openhearted for class... So fulfilling life's purpose may depend more or less on how we play than what we are dealt with. You have to be present to win.
