One thing that scares me in : MARCH
Oh, no...
This album is not what scared me off.
This is the result of something else
that scared me.
This is a happy ending.
However, a happy ending is likely begin
with sad story.
This is my sad story.
I am scared to use my own
too pretty papers,
too cute stickers,
too nice embellishment.
I am scared that if I use them all,
I will not find something
as pretty,
as cute,
and as nice,
as those again.
You might laughing at this point,
but I think many scrapbookers
will relate to this
sweet sour dilemma.
(oh, yes, I knew.)
But then,
I stuck with these...
(Oh, I am sure
these were very 'hot' to me
five years ago when I bought them)
While every time I go scrap,
I don't choose them.
I choose these newer things instead...
And yes,
I also don't choose
these papers anymore...
Because I drool over these delicacy...
Ironic, eh?
What you saved for such a long time
What was precious to you before
become more and more set aside
by the newer and hotter stuff.
And I am pretty sure,
if I save these newer
and hotter stuff now,
I will end up with the same situation
five years from now.
And I am thinking,
why should I save these?
For special occasion?
For grand scrapbook project?
For future remarkable album?
Well.
My life
right here and now
is a special occasion.
My curent everyday pictures
with the kids
is deserve a grand scrapbook project.
And,
I am sure a remarkable album
is here and now
to make by me,
using all the best papers,
and the best things I can think of.
This is the result
when I am not scared anymore.
If I recall, I saved this album
from Maya Road almost two years now.
Or three? Hh.
(alongside with almost 20 others
mini album that waiting
patiently inside the cupboard.
Yikes)
I use them up, and I am glad.
Here are the inside of the album :
Are you with me?
Good.
There will be much more
prettier, nicer, oh-I-must-have-these
papers, flowers (I dream of having
all Prima's flowers, do you? Do you?)
and stickers and ribbons
than what we had now
in that whole cupboard.
I promise.
So, don't scare to use them up.
I am not.
And excuse me,
I will take a break from blogging world
for about a week
to take tons of pictures
of our Easter holiday at Bali.
And I will use one of that
save-the-best-for-last albums
in my cupboard
to scrap that holiday pictures.
Oh, yes, I will.
cici!!!!! kerennnnnnnn!!!!!! suka banget ama album nya =) ckckckckck...dasyat ci ria hehehe.
