I've been slack...
Michelle
Wow! I didn't realise that it's been over a week since I last blogged! Had a busy busy week... and a busy one ahead too!

Highlights of last week:
  • Finished my Lap 3 Challenge for Scrappy 500 with time to spare (instead of sliding in 2 minutes before cut off time!).
  • The weather was awful all week - rain and gusty winds!! Eeeeeeekkkk.. what happened to spring coming with daylight savings!?!
  • Work was insanely busy I thought it'd never end! (still hasn't ended!)
  • Watched America's Next Top Model Season 6 (yeah.. we're a season behind!) - I just can't get enough of this show!!
  • Went to my LSS and bought a few more sheets of American Crafts 'Play' paper and 2 new sets of ribbons - one of them is the Tie Rack range! I just soooooo love them!
  • Went to Queensgate Mall with Jay and had a nice time shopping and looking around.
  • Had dinner at a new place with the girls - we have a habit of ending up at our favorites but this time managed to go somewhere new (new to us that is).
  • Met up with a friend, Kav and his new girlfriend for yumcha on Sunday.
  • Scrapped a bit - although haven't actually finished anything yet.

So far this week:

  • I found out yesterday that I am proceeding to Lap 4 of the Scrappy 500 challenge! It's now down to only 20 scrappers! OMG!!! The pressure is definitely going up!!!
  • I have started on one of my Lap 4 assignment, but yet to finish... and have to start thinking of the other one.
  • Dragon Flaire's website will be up soon! I'm really really excited!
  • I am looking forward to the long weekend next week - girls trip up to Auckland, spending quality time with the girls, catching up with friends, a little bit of partying, a lot of eating yummy food, hopefully a bit of Christmas shopping and lots of photos!!
  • I am behind on my CJ entries! I have 3 to do! So have to get started soon! It's all up in my head just need to get them down on paper.
  • I am doing a bit of scrapping here at work today because the bosses won't be here for another hour! Just doing the journaling for Ali's Perspective class I did in August - yup.. I'm a slow scrapper!
  • I realised that I'll be another year older in less than a month.
  • I am looking forward to going home for the holidays this year - I haven't been home to see my family for 3 years!

That's about it for now.. will try to update more this week.

Have a happy week everyone! Thanks for stopping by!

Where do I start??! Daylight savings started yesterday! Yay! I love it... I love that the days are longer...love leaving work and it's still bright outside. I love that summer is around the corner!!

I had a scrappy weekend. Worked on my Glam Girls CJ and also my Lap 2 Challenge layout for the Scrappy 500 at Scrap Street. Unfortunately I can't load my Srappy 500 layouts here yet... rules of the contest. I'm really happy with my CJ and my layout for it. I had a lot of fun doing it and enjoyed every minute of the long process (I'm a slow scrapper and take a while before I'm totally happy with my layouts).

Sorry about the funky scan - the scanner doesn't like lumpy embellies... and it's too dark for me to take photos. IRL the colors are a lot more vibrant.

Today I found out that I am still in the race! Yay for me! The Lap 3 Challenge is a huge one!! I've gotta get started tomorrow! I have the idea for it already..just need to put it down on paper..

Work has been insane! I took some home to do in the weekend and my day was full on today.. I was exhausted when I got home I barely had energy to scrap! Tonight is TV night... Friends, Shortland Street, NZ Idol, ER, Grey's Anatomy, Chief of House (I think that's what it's called)...I usually scrap with all these shows on.

Finally paid for my ticket to go home to Malaysia over Christmas and most of January. Jay is coming with me too! I just can't wait! I haven't been home for 3 years. I went home on a 2-day business trip last year so that didn't quite count. Only sad thing is that my brother, Gary won't be home this year. He's planning to go home in February.. so I don't get to see my little brother till I don't know when.

Another thing I'm looking forward to is the girls trip up to Auckland over Labor Weekend (21 October - 23 October)... I just can't wait to relax and hang out with Lies, Laura and Jessica - shopping, lots of yummy food, Dunkin Donuts!! and just having fun!

Auckland Glam Girls - maybe we can meet up for coffee? Just a thought.. I totally understand if you gals have other plans though. Will get in touch a bit closer to the time.

Anyway.. that's all I have energy for tonight... I'm off to bed! I've got a long work day ahead tomorrow!


Good night all and thanks for peeking on my blog... leave me a message/comment to say hi if you pop by. :)
