An emotional scrapper

  • First, I must thank you all, each and everyone for the love and support you left me in my last two posts :) He's okay, started running again *running as we speak I must say. LOL.* And already looking forward to the next race :)
  • The title of this post? I think I am one. An emotional scrapper. I scrap to get my feelings down. What about you?
  • I think it's important to let my children know what I really feel inside, what I'm really saying.
  • I also scrap because I don't want to forget the way I really feel, what I really think.
  • In between yelling asking *okay, I yell, sometime* at my girls to send their dirty clothes to the hamper, to pack their bags for school tomorrow, to please not to kill each other *kidding, almost* . . it's easy to forget that they're really, really nice girls. And I'm blessed to have them. So I scrap, as a reminder to myself.

As per usual, lots of bits and pieces. I enjoyed digging thru my stash to find stuff I love and putting them onto pages. They don't have to be brand new too. That butterfly stamp? I've had it forever it feels, designed by Karen Russell *whose blog I stalk on a daily basis. LOL* for Fontwerks. I miss Fontwerks stamps btw :)

'Everyday' badge from Marcy Penner at Hello Forever. I got myself the 'snapshot' and 'everyday' set a couple of weeks ago. Heart stamp from Studio Calico. Leafy die-cut on white cardstock with Papertrey's die, then misted.

Did I miss anything? As usual, email me or leave a comment with your questions :)

Making coconut blossoms. They're basically just sponge cakes with grated coconut + palm sugar filling. I should probably take a picture of the finished product. :) Next time, I promise.

Cinnamon roll. Homemade. :) I need bigger pan. Or separate them into two pans, these were spilling all over the place because I forgot to factor in the proofing. LOL. Lesson learnt, but still very yummy! :)

She made the coaster at school. Handstitched everything herself with help from her teacher of course - mighty proud of it. Wanted me to use it, unfortunately, my mug is the size of a little pail and is too big for the coaster. :)

Great layout. It's nice to see someone using older supplies. I was just complaining to my husband that it seems like everything I see is newest only and that I'll never have the newest stuff because I only order a few times a year and then I hoard it until I'm ready to order again and have to use up everything so I can justify the new purchases. So, thank you for that.

Ella Swan said...

Wow, Sasha! I love this page!! What kind of ink or embossing powder did you use on the hearts - or is is just glitter? I'm glad your man is doing okay - that had to have been rough for him! And your photos are BEAUTIFUL!!
