New Love

It's official! I've landed on a massive heap of abundant loving - digital scrap-booking! The amount of creativity it has to offer screams "indescribable"! Think of the million inspirations one could create with so many dazzling embellishments, elegant paper designs and detailed elements.

It actually feels like running off to Neverland when I first discovered that such a thing existed. Back then, it used to be actual scraps which amply defines someone's trash is another person's treasure. It's a shame that most digital scraps cost money specifically during this global recession. We might as well just revert back to collecting trash and transform it into something beautiful but that could take a while.

There are some creators who are offering digital scraps online as freebies and I'm ever so grateful to them for their generosity. It's because of them who make poverty stricken people like me very happy. Anyhow, I'm not going to write down a piteous list of digital scrap-booking freebie sites. Go ahead and Google it by typing "digital+scrapbook+freebies" and watch as it magically list the sites for you.

As I said in my previous post I was actively sewing bags and a dress during the months of my long blog absence. Well, after a grueling episode of photo-shopping photo-impacting, I present some of my remarkable or not so remarkable projects.

This was a gift for my sister

For the dress, I transformed this...

Into this!

And lo! My green dress and bag

Well, that's about all the time I have showing off blogging for today. Have a happy ever after from me!

June's Closure

Yowza!

I've been absent for a long while, haven't I? I blame that either on my busy schedule or on an acute dosage of laziness. The second excuse sounds pathetically embarrassing. So, I think I'll stick on to the white lie excuse - busy schedule. Then again, there is that occupational responsibility to consider. I wonder where I've misplaced it.

Without dawdling furthermore, I'll move on to my newsflash:-

1) I quit my previous employment sometime this year. (I can't, however, be any more specific as to when that happened as I seem to have tripped upon a heap of amnesia dust lying around. If I ever find that certain fairy responsible for causing that catastrophe, I'd be sure to give him or her a piece of my mind.)

 Uh-huh, yeah, I thought so.

2) I acquired a new career straight after my resignation. I can't formulate the words to express how terrified I was of the change at first bearing in mind that I was leaving an environment that I've grown accustomed to, but it was indeed a breath of fresh air.

3) I've shed a few more pounds and gained the curves I've always dreamed of having. When I muse over my teenage years of acne-prone facial, overly tanned skin and every bit on the heavy side, it's hard to imagine I would ever come to this.

4) I've made some lovely friends who are every bit as eccentric and air-headed and cosplay-fanatic as me. Of course, I still keep my childhood friends close in mind even though we rarely speak to each other anymore.

5) I've made plans to join the local cosplay event again this December.

6) I feel quite satisfied with the prototype bag I made and plan to make many more as gifts.

 More pictures soon.

7) I've made a full dress out of the left over fabric from my last year's Tinker Bell costume and I decided that I love sewing dresses. (I'll post pictures later.)

8) I've successfully transformed two old and unused t-shirts into a halter top and an edgy tank top and I plan to reconstruct all of my old shirts the same way. This is somewhat my newest obsession. (I'll post pictures later.)

9) I've read A Kiss In Time, Beastly, The Golden Compass, The Subtle Knife, The Amber Spyglass, Can You Keep A Secret, Fallen, Forever Princess, The Lovely Bones and The Time Traveler's Wife all with an accumulated average time of 12 hours a book. I know what you must think of me; it's nerdy enough to read all those in 4 months, it's just pathetic to keep track of my reading progress like I'm in some kind of read-a-thon.

10) I had a root canal. The evil dentists forced it on me! Well, not exactly. It's either that or loose my stunning smile. Yeah, ouch! Needless to say, the procedure came with a hefty price tag that burned a hole in my pocket.

A glimpse.

 

Well, I've pretty much described my recent endeavor in intricate little details. Now, I would really like to write book reviews on all those books I've read. Nerdy little pixie yet again folks! Do bear with me.

It's time for me to retire to bed. Have a happy ever after from me!
