Last night I...

..Reorganize my frequently used laces and trims.

I found out that storing them in jars dont work for me. Since I saw this container laying around empty, what not give it a try?

Not too bad eh? Soon enough, as my collection grows I may use one container per color? Anyways, let me try this out first, things always look pretty when I first organize but give it 2 weeks tops, it may be topsy turvy again. LOL

I love the pretty colors though.

....and I cooked. Brinjal (some called it aubergine) with minced meat.

Aaron loves a one dish meal, placed on top of his rice with fried egg. I know the pic looks kinda scary but it tasted pretty yummy. I also prepared the traditional ABC soup to go with this. All I know is, hubby's face lit up after he finished his meal....and that makes me a happy wife. (=

Scrappin Studio Weekly Challenge - Flowers

A brand new online studio carrying Studio Calico's kits. And here they are offering weekly challenges. Thanks to Jessy, I discovered this site.

Here's my take on this week's challenge.

"Our 100% Authentic Love"

I thought this paper was perfect for the flower theme. I cut the silhouette of the purple flower and leaves, and slit my picture in between.

Combination of Making Memories Alphas, Cosmo Cricket Tiny Type and American Crafts Felt Thickers.

Cant get enough of Making Memories Kraft Stickers. So easy to use.

(Available @ Smidapaper.com)

Accented the flowers with glossy accent & bling.

Loving those cute yellow flowers

Used an appliquéd yellow flower to frame my picture. What a good way to tie off the yellow.

Materials Used:

PP: (I'm guessing scarlet lime kit, given by the lovely Cindy Lee)

Stamp: Kaiser Kraft

Flowers: Prima

Appliquéd: Given by my colleague

Lace & Bling: Craft Store.

Submission ends this Sunday...i think. So Join in the fun @ Scrappin Studio.

xoxo,

Sharon Cornelius

Our Anniversary Weekend.

While waiting to depart from home...a lil vanning is permitted. (=

The yummiest lunch. Roti Jala with Mutton Curry, fried cauliflower, bendi & teh tarik.

Our room for the night.

Time for reflection. He loves the beach.

I do too. So soothing and calm. There is something about looking into the ocean and knowing everything's gonna be alright.

My good time list with Aaron.

Our little assignment while reflecting what we went thru for the year.

It was emotional and yet a relief moment.

We love the Sun, Sand and water.

How privilege to be brought up on an Island.

Just being Sharon.

I Love You.

The most perfect book for the weekend. Highly recommended.

After our swim. Time to just chilax.

His.

My version of a satisfied meal. Hawker delight.

Fried Tuna rice + Laksa = Happy Girl.

On the lovely greens of Lone Pine, chatting away.

Setting our goals as a couple for 2011. It was the perfect environment.

Sea breeze + the sound of waves.

Our super duper early breakfast.

Lunch @ Blue Reef

Beer Battered Fish + Olio + onion rings

Love this combo

Stawberries + Fruit Loops + Brans

Love their yogurt. Delicious.

Warm interior

And to end our weekend.

Anniversary card + $$$$$$$ (Doing the happy dance) YEAY!!!

Anytime for Tom Yam.

What a memorable weekend, all in the comfort of a lovely island called - Penang.

Aaron and I did a lot of reflection on our pass year, some were good and some needed improvement, some were funny and some were painful....it was like opening a can of flowers + worms, but it was necessary to continue our journey as husband and wife.

To another great year ahead. {Cheers}

One year on 090111

This Sunday, Aaron & I will be celebrating our first wedding anniversary.

It has been an interesting year. I can barely belief that we've been married for a year, and sometimes I can barely belief that "Im married".

2010 has been a year of adjustments. There were many high moments and also down moments.

Loving somebody in good times and in bad times, till death do us part......is by far the most challenging vow, it is sometimes a make or break point.

Hence why scripture says "a threefold cord is not quickly broken". He is the glue in our relationship, and He is always there, come Rain or Shine. Thank you dear God.

To my dearest Aaron, my love for you has grown even more.

2011 is our year to Arise & Shine for our Light has come and His glory is upon us.

xoxo.

I hung out @ Smidapaper with the girls...

... Cindy & Josie

Both working very hard to make the store PWEEETYYY!!

How Adorable.

{Dreams & Passion fulfilled}

The nut who spent her holiday afternoon with them.

Shopping almost 3 hours in the store. Its addictive.

She puts a smile on my face, but then again,I could just be vain! LOL!

I forgot my pom-poms. Its her first day!

Don't be dismayed at goodbyes. A farewell is necessary before you can meet again. And meeting again, after moments or lifetime, is certain for those who are friends. ~Richard Bach

Evening Tea.

Buttered Mushrooms. Delicious.

Card Maker Celebrity who loves Illy coffee.

(Did you know: Her card is published on the cover of Cards Magazine Jan'2011??)

Absolutely brilliant & definitely a joy to be with.

Stress-free Josie with a new beginning.

French fries with curry sauce.

Super relaxing day for me, just doing nothing & hanging out with great people.

Toodles!

New Year, New Goodies

Gorgeous Candy colors ( inspired by Cindy) ....all from Smidapaper. I love their new warm and cozy store. Remember to visit them if you're in Penang!

That MME paper is simply to die for (glitter blitter to the max) and new collection from Pink Paislee.......and that super cute butterfly stamp from Shabby Green Door. Love, Love!

Tim Holtz Scissors (Husband's prezzie to me) , Love,love,love!

It cuts like butter and less tension on the fingers, I would say much better than 'cutter bee'...but then again, it all depends on your preference.

Trying something new, to paint and alter things.

Absolutely loving the sparkle mod podge, what a super cool product. All you bling chicks, dont miss this one out.

Blessed 2011 Crafty Friends!!
