Joyful Christmas

Hidden Journaling: Nita invited me to join the mini Christmas party at her place. They requested to have antlers available to have a Christmas spirits. She asked me to bring food for our potluck so that we can share with it. I brought California maki and others brought roast beef, chicken, fried rice, donuts, frozen brazo and etc. YUMMY! Gifts were also requested so that we can play dirty Santa after having our dinner. While we were having dinner, Mitch announced that she has new arrivals, we were all excited about it and our party turns out to be a shopping again. After the shopping, we played the dirty Santa and started stealing gifts from others. Generous Mia brought over some of her stash and had them raffled to add joy to us. Tin also gave present to each one of us. Truly a wonderful experience to have a Christmas with them can’t wait for other year. - 12/15/2007 @ Nita House Materials: My Mind's Eye Kaleidoscope "Love"-Diagonal Stripe/Red, My Mind's Eye Kaleidoscope "Outdoors" Dots/ Light Blue, DCWV Fall Cardstock, American Traditional Dear Santa 3D stickers FX, Inque Boutique Ho Ho Ho Stamp, Colorbox Chestnut Pigment Ink, Semco Gold Paint, Red Blings Tools: Sizzix Round-a-bout, Stampin Up Tab Punch, Marvy Uchida Corner Rounder, Simply Scrappy Tag & Scallop Template

All About Me

When I saw this LO from Nita, i immediately ask Nita if I can scraplift her creation. I ask her permission and she AGREED with it. She help me picking the paper to match my photo as well as the paints. Nita shared to me the secret on how to paint on the chipboard. The right strokes on how to paint it and how to do it cleanly without messing your hand. It's just one night the painting was over. Next thing to do was the play with my LO by adding the buttons, blings and ribbons. That took me so long, until last holiday, April 09 I finish it with the help of Nita guiding me.

He Said... She Said

Last GNO, I was able to start with another layout, I thank Au for helping me picking the right photo to match the BEAUTIFUL February Kit-Versailles from Studio Azul. As you all know I'm poor with title and journaling, everytime I create a layout, I'm having hard time thinking of the best title, and I thank Nita for suggesting me the title.


Hidden Journaling:
He Said:
You are not one of the reasons why life is worth living, not one of the reasons why I'm happy all day long, neither why I'll never feel alone. You'll never be one of the reasons because you'll always be the reason why I continue to be yours forever. You will hear with your ears but you will not understand of what I am saying, you will look with your eyes but you cannot see. And now try to feel it with your heart and try to think with your mind and you'll know how much you mean to me, Joy. Thank you for coming in to my life and I thank God for it! =)

She Said:
I'll been searching for a lifetime partner until you came into my heart. You are the one I'm waiting for a long time and you make my life complete. I thank God for giving you to me. Maybe, we are really destined for each other. Now that you are my husband and partner, I promised to love you forever. Hoping that our love for one another will always be there in our hearts and my life will never be happy and contented with you by my side. I will always remember the vows we made in front of our Creator, The Almighty God.
