Altered Notebooks for charity

Here are some altered notebooks for charity.  I plan to sell them at RM10.  Hope they sell well.

Kids Cooking Class at Kampachi, Pavillion

The Bento dinner - such cute containers.

Sean started recently being camera shy.

The kids went for a cooking class at Kampachi.  They had great fun making sushi, handling a real knife,  decorating futomaki etc.  It was a nice group and great to see that they were having loads of fun afterwards too.

Journal - Happy Birthday Harein

Sean and Jon hamming it up with the skull party gifts.

Zachary playing peek-a-boo with Auntie M on the camera.

Harein and his beautiful cake.

Oh what a cake!

Beautiful settings - the garden outside Lafite.

Harein celebrated his birthday yesterday at the oh-so swanking Lafite,  Shangri-la Hotel.  I must say that both the venue and the party was so impressive!  Check out the photos.  Excuse my amateurish photos but we the kids had a ball at the party.

Journal - Wushu Exam

Kiddoes with their coach, ho Ro Bin - who is our previous Malaysian Junior Champion in Wushu.

Kiddoes practising their moves before the exams.

Sean was tested first - his moves were not executed according to his coach.

Clarissa is up next - she did better than Sean - phew!

The examiner - nope I couldn't see the marks.

Kids escaping and running off after the exam.

The kids went for their 2nd grade wushu exam yesterday.  I must say that they only did ok due to the lack of practise.  I am just hoping that they will pass.

Xmas Albums for charity

Made 6 of these the other day. Hope that I can raise money for charity with them.Jessy suggested taht I should embellish them a little. Yes I agree Jessy. Will do that and thanks for your suggestion.

Altered Album - Xmas 2007

Thanks to Jessy again - I have such cute photos to scrap.  I have been wanting to scrap about Clarissa and Sean's sibling rivalry for the longest time.  Now that I have finally done it - what a relief!

I love this set of papers from College Press from who else Nadhrah at Scrappingglitz.  I think the Xmas colours are fantastic!  They are so bright and cheery and I would definitely love to make another couple of Xmas album for my friends for Xmas!  I think this is what I should do then - this year everyone is getting a small hand-made Xmas album from me. Hee hee...

Materials used:

Collage Press pp,  Hambly rubons,  SEI rubons,  Cosmo Criket Xmas chipboard,  MM Glitter Stickers,  Bo Bunny sayings,  Felt scrolls,  MM small alphas stickers,  Adirondack Acrylic Dabbers,  Ribbons,  Trims and fibers.

Journal - I believe

I was blog surfing when I saw all the following sayings posted at this blog.  I could'nt resist posting them too:

I believe - That a birth certificate shows that we were born; a death certificate shows that we died; pictures show that we lived!
I believe - That just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't love each other, and just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do.
I believe - That we don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change.
I believe - That no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.
I believe - That true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. Same goes for true love.
I believe - That you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life.
I believe - That it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.
I believe - That you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them.
I believe - That you can keep going long after you think you can't.
I believe - That we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.
I believe - That either you control your attitude or it controls you.
I believe - That heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.
I believe - That money is a lousy way of keeping score.
I believe - That sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down will be the ones to help you get back up.
I believe - That sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry, but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.
I believe - That maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had and what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.
I believe - That it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others, sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.
I believe - That no matter how bad your heart is broken, the world doesn't stop for your grief.
I believe - That our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.
I believe - Two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different.
I believe - That your life can be changed in a matter of hours by people who don't even know you.
I believe - That even when you think you have no more to give, when a friend cries out to you - you will find the strength to help.
I believe - That credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being.
I believe - That the people you care about most in life are taken from you too soon.
I believe - That the happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the best of everything they have.
