Indonesian Scrapbookers' gathering and swap and blog-versary party
This is the day
we've all been waiting for.
About 30 scrappers
gather around together
have fun,laugh,chat,
non-stop eating,swap things
around (which make us go "aaah"
and "oooh" every 5 minutes...),
and much much more.
Above is the group pose with
each own scrap thing,
minus two scrappers who come
a bit late later
and three others who can't come.
Here we are at the beginning
of the day...
We begin the swap
with each one introduce herself
and a little bit about
the handmade swap of her...
(sorry I cannot post every
pic of the scrappers.)

I had tears in my eyes
when the cake artist who

said to me the day before
that this cake is

and
swollen heart of too much
joy and gratefulness.
Also thank you to Liem Tjien
