scrap quickies: happy birthday cards

my scrapping goal for this year is to make cards whenever i’m free. so that when an occasion calls for one, i’m ready to give it to the special someone. i don’t like to buy cards from stores. they are either not pretty or overpriced. so here’s my baby step to accumulate handmade cards by yours truly. they may be simple, but they are all made with loveee.

valentine’s card

paper: pebbles, crate paper, basic grey/ chipboards: cosmo cricket/ others: tags/ lace

made these cards for valentine’s. glad to put those birdie chipboards to good use. wished i had more time to make more ):

music crush: feb 12

currently obsessed with “run” by matt nathanson. makes me wanna sink into a hopelessly passionate love.

brunch at prive

eugene came back over the weekend for an early valentine’s day celebration. was a pleasant surprise! he brought me to prive for a nice brunch on Sunday and the food certainly didn’t disappoint us.

Egg Royale was divineee.

Pancakess.

okay this poster should be up before new year but oh well it still applies i guess. i want 2012 to be awesome. and i badly need to organize my life to kick off the year in the right way. Which means a lot of decluttering and revamping. gone with the old. time for the new! it’s a massive project so i have decided to give myself till end of jan!

Online space:
- pinterest (add new boards: my scraps, beautiful people, weddings)
- blog (update my sidebar)

One estilo:
- tumblr (for archive)
- website (sidebar, tabs)

Gadgets
- iphone (delete any unwanted photos, apps, songs)
- mac ( delete all unwanted folders, install my photoshop and radlab)

Declutter:
- my wardrobe ( pack all my unwanted clothes & accessories, organize my drawers)
- my scrap items ( put up unused items for sale)
- my bookshelf
- my study room drawer

beauty regime:
- HAIRCUT ( omgosh haven’t cut my hair for the longest time. surprised that it’s still in shape)
- facial ( the stress and fatigue has resulted in numerous pimples)
- manicure and pedicure ( scheduled before CNY)

sounds like loads to do and i’m pretty sure the list will grow. i’m excited (: hopefully i’ll follow through! 2012 here i comeeee.

2011: the good

2011 has left me jaded and emotionally drained. i can’t believe even the last day of the year has to be one of my saddest days ever. I do, however, still count every little blessing that come along the way in this eventful year. and because i want this space to remind me of all the happy things, i shall recap only the good.

THE GOOD:

- pass my driving (finally)
- went to paris and milan again for my grad trip
- finally graduated!
- have a new haircut that i really love
- have a job that turns out to be a blessing ( with great work culture and awesome colleagues)
- made some really close friends
- kept some close friends even closer

Let’s hope that 2012 will be awesome (:

merry christmas

gave out most of my tags today to my dearest colleagues who made work so much more enjoyable than it already is! have a blessed christmas everyone!
