Scrap to your Heart's desires...

Coming Home....

Coming home...
everyday to familiar things... that is what keeps us sane...
really...
it could be the person who loves you,
a warm bowl of rice,
the warmth of your bed,
knowing your pet is waiting at the door for you...
or simply,just the feeling of home... that you can never feel anywhere else in this world.

Besides all the Love you can get under a roof...
I find comfort in little mementos around the house...in my room... like pictures here and there that reminds me of how blessed I am...



I made fabric flowers while recuperating at home on Tuesday... had some fabric from the tailor... somehow making something... anything with love, in soft repose just sends enormous *joy*... and so I stuck a pin in each and liked how it looked on the cushions...




To Everyone affected by earthquakes and tsunamis around the world... may God give you strength to continue living the best way you can... and keep the people you love safe.

come away with me...

This is how Saturday mornings look like from my window.





And this is how it looks from bed...



For the past days, Ive been in bed, outta shape. And as I watch the sun rise... I yearn for a better day ahead...
My mind is soo exhausted from thinking, and working... mentally drained... flu, fever, migraines... I am worn out.



Do you like this? Its a broken frame... I painted it blue...and then had decoupage its glass frame with {yours truly}, Modpodge on a thin almost tissue like art paper... It has the words stamped..."come away with me, spread your wings..." on it...
The birds and words inspires me so I keep it around on display.




Thank you for dropping by...and thank you to the readers who have send me heaps of well wishes... really, THANK YOU.
Till then, Scrap to your Heart's desires...

One for the wedding...

My sister got married in early February...
This is a 7gypsies tray I made for the display table...using mostly Graphic 45 Le' Romantique papers...






Thanks for looking...hope you enjoyed that.
Have a good week ahead.

Where old meets new and new meets old.

Making meaningful art and deco with old and unused things... This is one of the things I enjoy...




... I enjoy decoupage work. Above is a metal gift box which I painted and decoupage with Tim Holt's patterned paper... It now holds some of my makeup on my dressing table.

And here's a piece from a broken frame... I painted it brown and lightly highlighted the edges with gesso to create a worn out look and added the tag for a little personality.



Hope you enjoyed that...
Create art, and Scrap to your Heart's desires!

MOLD ALERT

Dear friends...

kindly read this one...cause I don't want it to happen to you...
I have been sick for more than a month now... been having bad migraines that sometimes last for days even with medication... pain in jaw and face...been in such discomfort... been suffering in silence.

I have not been scrapbooking for some time now, because of Sinusitis. I am very sure now that its a reaction to the mold found on my scrapbook items and supplies...




Seriously in this part of the country, where its all humid...I wonder if any of you out there have experienced this... I Do. I have never seen anyone complain about having mold issues on their scrapbooks, art deco and all their supplies so far... so pls share... I found this article so far and it has helped... a MUST READ.

It has been quite a challenging task to get rid of the mold. I didn't see this coming cause I really enjoy cleaning, and sanitizing my room, washing all the upholstery...weekly... but I forgot about the huge bulk of paper and wooden products in my room. I usually clean them by vacuuming areas where I can if dust collect...
Maybe it was the recent rainy season in December and last month that started the mold.

And so, its been a pain. But I will survive.
Just staying away from scrapbooking abit until Im better.

But for all YOU out there...
Scrap to your Heart's desires...

One on the Animal Shelter...

Wanted to share this layout...





We visited an animal shelter last month... we love animals...and cats so... the trip was a real eye opener to the alarming number of strays that these people rescue everyday...




They greeted us with so much love and affection... They were screaming for attention and some loving...it was sad to see how some of them had been injured from animal abuse... certainly makes me wanna adopt a cat in the future...

Pets and animals...they really connect to us in a special way...and they sure are special... and that is why I am so blessed to come home to these two...




:)
