Gosh.....I've not updated my blog for such long time.....not that I have nothing to share....I have like 3 weeks of Project Life completed but yet to find the move to get them photographed and posted....

I've had full motivation and inspiration to make food lately....and so most of my free time (which is not much, having a sticky babe like Elise) was spent either looking up recipes on the internet or in the kitchen trying out those recipes....

Not all turn out to be good...but it was great experiment!!!

Here's some of the food that I made for the past few weeks.....

A birthday cake for Elise

Black Pepper Chicken

BBQ Meat rice for the girls

Pandan Chiffon Cake

Malay Kuih (Ma Lai Koh)

A birthday cake for hubby

Healthy Whole Meal Mantau

Whole Meal Buns

Project Life Week 24 & 25

Another 2 weeks of project life....completed them earlier but was taking the longest time to take photos of the spreads......

Week 24...features a whole right page of Take Twelve June 2012, and left page with some of the happenings for that week and not forgetting the a collage of scenes from the Chinese Drama that I watched that week....also an insert for a heart-sheaped card from Grace's classmate...

Week 25...for some unknown reason, I have very little photos and the week was totally random..so the right page was used to only denotes the title for the week and some journalling....the spread this week is heavily filled with die-cuts from my beloved Silhoutte Cameo....

Week 24: Two-paged spread

High Five

Whenever she sees me with my iPhone/ camera, Elise will definitely give me her favorite, signature pose....she's actually trying to show the "peace" sign, but could not control her fingers as yet...thus the all fingers....currently she had enhanced her five fingers to crossing the pointer and middle finger.....

Here she is giving me such cute pose at the pool side when we were enjoying one of our many water play in Singapore.....

Project Life Week 22 and Week 23

Time for some Project Life update.....I've been good and try to catch up....so here's 2 weeks of Project Life

For week 22, the major event was of course my birthday....and so I used the whole of the right page to document that....while on the left page for those crazy and fun moments the girls had.....

For this week, I have 2 pieces of drawing (one from each girl) as the insert....

As for week 23, we (the girls and I) spent the whole week (except for Sunday) in Singapore.....and like what I've posted in my FB earlier....Project Life this week focused on family time.....(detailed traveling photos will be converted to standard layouts)...

I just love the 2 circle embellishment that I created.....the design is from Clementine Digital elements, which I traced in Silhouette Studio, instead of cutting it out...I replaced the blade with sketch pen and have it sketched out the wordings and then have my Silhouette Cameo cut the outer circle....
