Journaling:
I simply love this shot taken from the shooting spot from the well known Korean Series, Jewel In the Palace. The exact props were preserved for us to hold and look at it. Aside from it, this is what Erwin wants, to feed him with a spoon full of love and understanding.

My Newest Toys

I'm crazy with my scrapping stuffs. Totally can't stop myself buying online but I'm trying to control myself but once I saw the huge sale and discounts, I simply can't resists it. Hopefully next year.... I will control.

Here's what I purchased. Super thank you Eric for bringing them. Mwah.

Retired Sizzix Dies. Got them through bidding at Ebay.

A Million Thanks To You, Ms. Joanne

One of the scrapping mom, Ms. Joanne Yap, will be leaving for OZ for good. "This has been long overdue" as she says.

It made me sad when she told me this "overdue" decision. She was the one who introduced me to scrapbooking. She made me see how numerous scrapbookers are here in our country. Patient, and persistent, that's how she was to me. She made me join eyeballs and challenges. She is, if not, one of the few who started the trend of scrapbooking here in the Philippines.
Joann, surely we will miss you. Rest assured, we will continue what you have started and have other people see the scrapbooker in them too.

With this, a co-scrapbooker, Ms. April organized a despedida party for her held last October 20. We were each assigned to produce an 8x8 layout to be included in the album that will be given to her. A remembrance, a token of love.... a reminder of how she made scrapbooking, easy, fun, and worthwhile.

Below is my layout for her. Joanne, my friend, my mentor. You will be missed.

Journaling:

Being at Beijing China was one of our favorite vacations. Aside from climbing the famous Great Wall of China, we were able to witness the beautiful scenery that Beijing in stored. The Forbidden City. Ming Tomb and Temple of heaven are some of the historic spots that they had. Aside from the heart-whelming scenery that we saw, the cold climate wrapped our perfect vacation.
