I'm back

And of all the days…it just had to be today that the internet connections go cuckoo…hmmph….sabaaaar jak lah. On those days which I’m busy…the connections are perfectly well! Yup, it’s only that when I’m free & have nuthin’ much to do in the office that it decides to just simply goes on “connecting” mode, for what seems like a verrrry verrrry loooong time. How awesomely ironic is that! (eyes rolling).

Well, I know that I’ve not been updating my blog since…err let’s see..9th October! Hah…about a month plus, well almost two! How ‘bout that? :p The word busy hasn’t left me since then. Am constantly swamped with work…gosh. Sue mentioned that she could hear crickets and occasionally a toad croaking in my blog. Hahahaa! It’s a swamp in here and I’m turning into the swamp thing…hehe…not. Well, it’s time to get it spruced up. Forgive me for starting off my blog with a whine. Blame it on the internet weather lah.

Moving on…I’ll share with y’all what I’ve been busy with the past month or so…here goes:-

My first creation for October was a wedding card for Rosty....

Next is a card for Sue, whose birthday was on 14th October. The first one I made was from a group of us friends and another one was the one I made personally for her. :)

One of my favourite cards...hehe. Should've taken her picture with the card...lupa lah...:p

Next are three cards I made for my aunty which she ordered for her three boys...hehe. The first one is for Josh who turned 21 on 19th October. The 2nd card is for Pat whose 24th birthday was on 4th November. Happy birthday, boys! :) And lastly is a card for Nick, who graduated last month. Congrats to ya, Nick!

My next project was a birthday card for Fr. Chua. He is also our FIG 3 choir conductor. Oh, we had a great time in Bandar Seri Begawan last month, where the FIG 3 Choir sang in a concert at St. Andrew's church. We actually planned to celebrate his birthday in Bandar after the concert but the timing tak ngam...so we decided to celebrate when we're back in Miri.

It's so hard to get him to give a decent pose with the card I made, and this is what the picture turned out to be!
Tsk..tsk...Fr. Chua...

Oh dear! p.s. He received a card, 2 chocolate cakes and a box of chocolates!

These two thank you cards/bookmarks were made for our speakers (Ven. Solomon, Fr. Chua & Subdeacon Augsutine) for the Young Adults Weekend Getaway at Soon Hup Villa on 30-31st October. I didn't manage to take a photo of the card I made for Ven. Solomon, though...huhu...tak sempat.

For Live.Love.Craft challenges, Sue and I had four weeks of fun doing cards of the 4 seasons namely Spring, Summer, Autumn & Winter. Here there are:-

Flowery Summery & frosty winter

Springy Spring & Breezy Autumn

And here are another two of my LLC Challenge cards...

This challenge was to use circle punches. This is my orangy bubbly card :)

The next challenge was to include kittens or puppies in our cards. I'm more of a cat person..hehe. So I chose kittens! I took time to colour the picture with colour pencils..hehee. Makes me feel so primary school. ;) Here it is:-

This Saturday, 28th November is my parents' 28th Anniversary! Whoohoo! This year, they have decided to have a party to commemorate the special day. My mum have asked me to make the invitation cards for the event. And guess how many I made? 55 pieces! Incredibly, I managed. Phewh! My mum wanted it to be simple, cream+pink in colour. My dad..ok jerr...no comment, as long ada kad. Hehe. :p

I used a cream coloured backing paper and for the invitation, I used a pink paper which I printed the picture of my parents on their wedding day as the background. And finished it off with two punched hearts at the top.
I should've taken a picture of all the 55 cards I made. Didn't think of it then...darn. :s

Yeeeaaay, I've finally reached the end of today's post...and it's a looong day of waiting & uploading (took me almost the whole day to get here!) and a looong post after a looooong absence.

Feels good to finally update my blog. I'll be back. :D

p/s My apologies for my broken English ..hehe. It's so rojak...i know.
