Scrappage

Nothing too exciting to report, but I did get to scrap a layout 2 days ago and also managed to take photos of a mini album I made for a friend! :D



This photo is my dear friend Shirley aka Slammie's little girl, Hayley... I asked her about 2 months ago for photos of Hayley to scrap. I was getting bored scrapping about myself.. LOL! Just managed to scrap one of the pics 2 days ago. So this is it. :D Isn't she cute?!

This is the mini album I made for a friend for his birthday. I used the Maya Road round chipboard album and all paper and embellishments are KI Memories.











That's all for now.. will update again soon... I can't believe that I hardly blooged this month... June is already upon us all! I'm starting a new project in the month of June... will share soon!!

My wildest dream came true!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Michelle
OMG OMG OMG!!!! I got into the OPAAT Design Team!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



I'm still in shock about this.

It all seems sooooooo surreal. I had been out all day yesterday at a food show with my friends and when I came home, I checked my email... just curious and hoping to see if there was news on the OPAAT DT call yet.. and I saw Capella's name in my inbox. My heart just started racing while I opened the email... and after just reading the first line:
Hi Michelle!

This letter comes to you with good news...

All I could do was scream and laugh and almost cried and just kept saying OMG OMG OMG to my bf, Jay. And then, when I calmed down enough, I went back and read the whole email.

This is just a total dream come true! I've been in love with OPAAT's kits since I applied for the DT position last year (got Honorable Mention) and have been back to the website at least once a week...and of course always checking out the kits. All the stuff that Capella put together are just so cool, colorful and very much my style! :D And the community at OPAAT is really nice and supportive too!

I stayed up all night on Friday to finish up my mini album... and I woke up later than I had planned to yesterday.. hurriedly took photos and resized and attached them all to my email. I think I made the DT call just by the skin of my nose! I'm still not too good with time difference (don't think that'll ever change! LOL!) and I was just hoping and praying that I made it just in time by midnight of 25th May (in the US).

Here's my mini album:

Adri, Laura, Lies and I went to the Wellington Foodshow at Westpac Stadium... it's my first time. Those three went last year... it was pretty fun just to go for the experience... I love the fact that there were a lot of manufacturers presenting their products old and new...and got to try a lot of things that I would not even consider buying at the supermarket because I just don't know if they're good or not... Overall the foodshow wasn't anything spectacular but for $18 worth, I think it's pretty good.. a lot of different food and wine and beverages and chocolates and ice cream manufacturers there.. and free goodies are always a plus! :D Personally I wanted to go just for the experience and because I've never been in the stadium before! :D

































Today Jay and I went to the Wakefield market for lunch...yummy char siu (BBQ pork) rice and stirfried vermicelli and ice lemon tea - my favorite! Went home and pack up a few things for the Jar Swap Trish is hosting at Scrappers Bliss.

At just after 6pm we went to Readings Cinema with the intention to watch Pirates of the Caribbean 3... put the queue was just to crazy and we flagged it. So we drove to Borders thinking it was closing at 8.30pm only to find that it was closing just 5 minutes after we got there! So we both went to Intercontinental Hotel for a coffee and then went to have sushi at Sushi Catch. :) It was a fun impromptu date...

And now here I am updating and finally able to post about my happy news! :D All in all an awesome weekend! Thanks for stopping by and have a great week ahead! It's Monday again tomorrow.. back to work...
