I wish she will remember
My dear....
Always remember that living with you every day is magical to me.
Even if you are counting the bad days and bad hair days and bad mood days....
Still magical.

Must love books
It's been a long time since I posted my new favorite book. This one is that one kind that I cannot hold for myself , I have to share it with you, because it caught my breath away even when I open just the front page and read this :
It is so beautifully written.It is so deeply touched inside.
Like I told you before, when I found a good book, I always think that the book found me. Not the other way around. Can you imagine, from thousands of books out there at the store, waiting patiently for someone to pick them up, this book is waiting for me. And when I pick it up, the book is so vivacious it brings very nice feeling when I open the first page, reading a few words, and don't want to put it back.
You should go home with me, I said. And the book smile.
If only you can feel what I felt.
This happened on our last weekend trip to Times bookstore - Lippo Karawaci - Jakarta. Really a good time spent.
Hope you enjoyed your weekend too.July 10, 2009
With a sketch from Jennifer Johner
I always love Jennifer Johner layouts. They are so simple and yet so personal. I rarely did my layout base on sketch before. But I can't resist this one today. So, Jen, this is what I come up with! :)
I do have fun with the skecth. Thanks a bunch!

Documenting a week in life - album ( June 2009 - Life Project )
Finally, the album is done. Soooo glad.And because I did the documenting on June, and made the album mostly also on June, I will put it as my June - Life Project - (for my life project series).
And because the album contains 43 pages...(more than I planned...yeah, like you don't know me at all...) I thought it will be best to put a ring binder at the full side of it rather than only use 3 rings binder like I had last year. And sadly I can't use the 3mm acrylic that I already prepared with 3 rings for the cover..but, then...I love how it looks with thin transparency.
Embellish the front cover edge with fibers-ribbons-threads and little vintage things that I love.
Behind the front cover :
And....we begin with the story :
Can't believe that those all happen in 7 days only. Very grateful that this project can (again) make me value so much our daily activity. This is the back cover of my album :
Friends, nothing in our daily life is ordinary.
When you get that,
everything else is secondary.

Do not doubt the search
Sri Ramakrishna tells of a man who was just about to cross a river when the teacher Bibhishana approached him, wrote a name on a piece of paper, fixed it to the man's back and said :
"Fear not. Your faith will help you to walk upon the waters. But the moment you lose your faith, you will drown."
The man trusted Bibhishana and began to walk effortlessly across the waters. At one point, however, he had an immense desire to know what his teacher had written on the piece of paper fixed to his back.
He got hold of it and read what was written on it: "Oh, God Rama, help this man to cross the river."
"Is that all?"thought the man. "Who is this God Rama, anyway?"
As soon as doubt entered his mind, he went under and was drowned.

Another sample album
Nadea and I finished these albums in the weekend, with the hectic schedulle of families gathering because my dad was having his 60th birthday celebration, and my two brothers and their family were coming to town. Exhausted. So this is what I came up with :
Five pages of grey board album, with the inside like these :
And here is what nadea comes up with :
With the inside like these :
Well, Adam also helps with that penguin stickers...LOL. These were from 2007 holiday photos that we still got some left after I scrapbooked them in 12x12 layouts....(I knew that all the spare pictures will come handy someday....told you! Hahaha). Really need some rest for now. Bye!July 4, 2009
Have to make lots of mini album sample
Last month, I made mini albums for scrapbooking, with three materials : grey boards, foams (9 colors) and transparencies. There are 5 forms that I made, so totally, they are a loooot!!! The mini albums are ready at my stores and counters now, but then I have to make lots of sample of them so the customer will be interested in making it....Here I make sample from grey boards (that I painted with brown acrylic paint) and transparencies :
And this is more simple one from foams material. I choose red. There are deep blue, light blue, cream, purple, light green, pink, light grey, and maroon to suit any of your theme of scrapbooking projects.
If you want to look closer, I put them at Toko Gunung Agung - Senayan City - Jakarta. Of course, you can bring home the materials from there to make your own, today! Wohoo! Here a snapshot that taken by my dear hubby when I sorted out the materials at the office. You should see the piles of all those materials behind me! Phew!
And when I made the sample at home :
Come on...try it! It's so much fun!Have a nice weekend for you!

Everyday beauty
Become a parent means :
You will learn what true love is,
You will learn what you're made of,
You will learn to trust your instincts,
and
You will learn what true priorities are.
Snap a picture of my daughter taking her ballet lesson
is to see everyday beauty.
The endless possibilities of the everyday
are always encouraging.
Finding true priorities.

Little notes from my packed desk
We cannot give what we do not have.
We cannot bring peace to the world if we ourselves are not peaceful.
We cannot bring love to the world if we ourselves are not loving.
Our true gift to ourselves and others lies not in what we have
but in who we are.
Marianne Williamson
Another productive (and packed) day for me, my friends.
Phiuh.
Hope I can finish sorting all the pictures I made
for a week in the life project
and our Bali holiday's pictures, on this weekend.
And be able to post some favorite of mine.
(which I really treasured)
Soon.
Uh huh.
Yes, they are a loooooot.
Have a nice weekend, everyone!

What I found last night
"Adam, what are you doing there?"
"Eating, mom"
"Adam, you can't use real coco crunch to feed the doggie!"
"Uhm?"
"No, mom...it's for me. See? I'm eating it!"
"Uh huh. I see." Of course I never win this kind of battle with the kids.
Just enjoy it while it last, shall we?
