Dream Big

 Hello sweet people,

I am getting used to my new lap top and it is quite a feeling to own my own laptop. :-)

Actually, we are in Singapore to get some medical tests done...

I had to go through a tiny surgery - the whole experience was just so positive. This time, I chose a Christian hospital instead of one of those commercial ones and it was the best decision I took. My surgeon was cracking all kinds of jokes and I was in splits of laughter... about Michael Jackson and his last journey! And she said that was the reason that she decided to give me General Anesthesia so that I don't fall off the small operation bed. Never seen a doctor with a human face... Thank God for minor mercies.

Okay, that was some rambling there... this is a card that I may have posted earlier. I found it on my phone camera and liked the sentiment so I thought I would share it again.

It looked so much better in real life... I did a lot of touching up with a metallic silver pen and that makes it so much prettier in real life. Sorry, cannot recall the stamp.

To cheer myself up, I visited my favorite craft stores and indulged in some retail craft therapy!

We will return to Jakarta in a day or two and then hopefully then I will blog more often.

Hugs,

Monica

Thank you, Sandra!

Hello sweet bloggers,

I have finally presented myself with a laptop... yaaay!!! Yes, my very own.

Here are some cards I made with the beautiful dragon felt dragonflies that my dear friend, Sandra sent to me along with some other sweet stuff... thanks so much for all those goodies you sent me to cheer me up during that dark phase. 

I am going mad making cards with dragonflies... and have sold a few already.

Above is another dragonfly card (dragonfly sent by Sandra) and the caption says "Believe".

Sorry that the backgrounds are different in both the cards.

Hope you like the card... will upload some more on this new gizmo and show them to you.

Hugs,

Birthday pictures

Hello lovely bloggers,

Hope you all are having a lovely weekend...

Below are pictures of my Birthday tea party - just a few sweet friends who live on the block along with their kids.

I am on the extreme right with the shortest possible hair... my Mum is in green

Zeenya is on the left and Aleeza is right below... it was a lovely tea party

Will start blogging soon - have to attach my camera to this computer to download pictures of my cards.

Happy weekend.

Lots of hugs and thanks for all your love,

Monica

My desk top is back!

Hello sweet bloggers,

Thanks for all the blog love and the TLC you all showered on me... I am much better and am trying to see the glass as half full.

I have good news for you - the desk top has been repaired and is operating on Mac now instead of Windows which I will soon get used to. Well, I better get used to that as I am missing blogging sooooo much, honestly.

This post is picture less as I am using Zeenya's lap top to type this post - thought that she would have some pics on her lap top of me which I could upload but she too seems to have some issues with her lappy! And that means no pictures... sorry!!!

Forgive me for such a colour less post - but trust me I will soon get there...

Was dying to connect with you all so here I am.

Will come and visit all of you soon.

Hugs,

Monica

Hello!!!

Hello sweet bloggers, I have beem missing in action for the longest time - thanks to a bumpy ride that life has been giving me - prayers and heaing welcome!!! Am trying to post pictures of the animal safari yhst I visited but dear blogger playing tricks again!!! ;-) Never mind!!! Card making has taken a rear seat and I must resurrect it asap after my dear hubby repairs my dear desk top! Just for an opinion,do you guys use your own lappy or do you have a desk top? I do think that I need to spoil mydelf and in get my very own computer!!! My mum is willing to donate her lappy - think I should graciously accept offer! ;-) Thanks for all the blog love, hopefully the light at the end of the tunnel will be visible soon... Hugs and good wishes for health, wealth, craft and art, Monica Ps: bless me that I start blogging soon.

Baby girl card

Hello bloggers,

Hope you all are well and enjoying summer...I have been missing blogging like crazy.

I have been so busy of late - going through a turbulent phase! 

But I trust the Universe will guide me through this.

Here is a card I made for my first cousin in New York who delivered a baby girl a few weeks ago.

Hope you like my creation - Zeenya was suitably impressed and so was my mum who is visiting. 

Both Zeenya and Aleeza have summer holidays and we are having a relaxed time at home... it is nice to just stay put for a change. 

We did go to the Animal Safari last week ( a two and half hour drive from home) and it was a great experience for Aleeza who loves animals. Will try and post some pics next time.

Took Aleeza for her swim class which she thoroughly enjoyed... thank God for that because she can be so darned adamant sometimes!!! 

Will come and visit soon... still trying to get my computer sorted.

Crafty hugs,

Monica

DT card for Unstampabelles

Hello lovely bloggers,

This is my card for the DT post for Unstampabelles, the monthly challenge being Ribbons.

There are great prizes to be won - do go and check it out for yourself.

Great prizes to be won which are being sponsored by Beth of 

http://huggiescrafts.blogspot.com.au/

On my card I have used three dimensional stickers and the ribbon and pearls are from my stash...

I am sad to say that I have decided to step down from my DT post with Unstampabelles...

However I have to add that it was lots of fun for me and it made me think out of the box. 

School holidays begin this weekend... I am looking forward to lots of bonding with my girls. 

Will catch you later.

Hugs,
