Mojo's back baby! YEAH!!!

My week has gone by so quickly my head is spinning!!! Work has been really really busy.. when I get home at night I'm just so exhausted!

First of all, Happy 30th Anniversary to my mom and dad!

Exciting news! My challenge is up for this week at Scrap In Style. Head over there and join in the challenges! There are lots of great prizes up for grabs!

For me scrapping is not just about scrapping only the good things, but also the not so good ones. Life isn't always rosy and scrapping only the good things doesn't give a balanced or real look at my life. So my challenge to you is to scrap a regret - it doesn't have to be anything super serious if you don't want to. It can be regretting that extra slice of pizza you had or a friendship lost over something silly. I really regretted never wearing my braces to the full prescribed term, so here's my layout about losing the chance to have nice teeth. My challenge is to scrap a regret... here's my layout.

The long weekend is gone.. that was really fast!! I had a quiet one.. stayed home and scrapped all day Saturday and ordered pizza for dinner! Sunday I stayed in again.. just trying to scrap and mooch around and surf the gallery at SIStv. In the evening I went out to dinner with Jay. We went to the Diwali Festival after dinner and watched Indian dance performances including belly dancers and the runners up and winners of the Bollywood dance competition. That was quite enjoyable... and the plus point - free entertainment!

On Monday I scrapped in the morning and then went to the Wakefield Market for a late lunch. together with Jay. We met up with Laura, Peter and Adri there. After lunch Jay and I took a long drive around the bays. It was a gorgeous day.. sunny and warm. Just totally beautiful! It was great.Went home after that.. and just relaxed.. getting mentally prepared for work on Tuesday.

Mojo's back!!! I scrapped 5 layouts throughout the weekend! 4 on Saturday itself.. that's a record for me... see.. I'm a slow scrapper... and the most I've ever done is 2 1/2 layouts in one day... that's why I'm so excited and happy I actually churned these babies out!

LOVE the KC Collection!!! I just can't wait to create more layouts using the collection! JJ totally sent me mojo together with it!!!

I did this a couple of weeks ago... had the idea in my head for a while..Doodled all the little squares! :D

Okay.. that's all for now.. Off to get on with my DT work... :D

Things to share

Michelle

WOW! I can't believe I've not updated for so long!! The days seem to just creep up on me!!! I don't even know where to start.

My bosses are back in town.. and they brought me lots of pressies! :D They totally spoilt me!

Pashmina from Turkey
Worry beads from Athens
Necklace and pocket mirror from Paris
Plus Alien (perfume) and Toblerone too!

I haven't been in the mood to scrap at all for some reason.. no... actually I've been dying to scrap.. but when I sit down to scrap... I just can't seem to do it.. there's just no mojo! It's just really frustrating! Ugh!

I've got a layout that will be published in the ScrapStreet e-zine next month.

Attended a friend's bday dinner last weekend... and played pool with my ex-flatmate who was in town. I can still play! YAY! :D

Work has been insanely busy.

I got my box of goodies that JJ sent me for being the L'il Sis this month. OMG I LOVE everything she picked out for me!! And also the KC Collection! Woohoo! I can't wait to scrap this weekend.. it's Labour weekend here.. so it's a long one.... and the last long weekend before Christmas.... Weather is forecasted to be quite cold.. almost winter like.. so it's perfect to stay home and scrap.

I just got caught up with all my This Is Me challenges.. and now I've fallen behind again! Darn missing mojo! I did get this one done though.. more to come...

Hopefully I'll be back to update soon!

TGIF tomorrow!!! Woohoo!

October

Michelle

I had great intentions in updating my blog last weekend..but of course totally forgot about it! :)

WOW! It's October already. For me, October is the beginning of daylight savings. I love how the days get longer each day. A sign that summer is just around the corner. October is also when the flowers start to bloom - spring is in the air. This is also a month I contemplate a lot..How the year has just flown by.. what had I hoped to achieve at the beginning of the year.. have I achieved them. October is welcomed with mixed emotions - anticipation of summer and regret that another year is soon coming to an end. This is what October means to me.

Not much happening around here... just some things that are making me happy right now!

As I mentioned a few weeks ago, Big Sis aka JJ has named me her first L'il Sis - in October. This totally makes my day today....

Warm Fuzzies

You can bet I'll be scrapping it!!

The Boutique at SIS has opened.. and in conjunction with that, there's a month-long celebration at SIStv! Come along and check out all the challenges and the widget competition! Lots of prizes are up for grabs.

Did a bit of catching up with my This Is Me journal entries in the past few days.

Here they are:
