That's me with Tim in my arms. He was such a good & beautiful baby! Never gave me sleepless nights! I had so much fun digging into all the embellishments I bought & collected throughout the years. Without hesitation, I put in as much as I possibly can!

Thomas, 20 years ago in front of the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, Australia...

This doll is from Sizzix dies, the balloons & the doll's blouse from Jeart dies. I punched out a scallop circle shape, cut away a few segments & scored evenly some lines from the centre out & then fold it into a fluted skirt.

This is the ONLY wedding photo (original) my dad & mum took on their wedding day! It shows my mum walking down the little lane toward my dad's wooden house in Sg Bidut, a small village just opposite the Rejang River.

This card was for my dear friend, Siok Cheng (my son, Daniel's Godmother), who has shown love and concern for him unconditionally since a little boy! You are an angel send from heaven for us! We love you!

My best friend Laura, gave me this beautiful handmade card on the birthday! I treasured this so much, thanks Laura!

There are so many cut-out dies in my stash that I have to put them to good use once the inspiration comes! Here are some tags I have made & given out to a friend who loves blessing others with them.

This albums holds 8"x8" pages. Thomas prefers this size because they are less bulky & I thoroughly enjoyed scrapping them because Tim was so much fun in these photos & Tom was creative & fast in catching those precious moments!


I love this photo of the Tim & Tom in the dark shadow with the Harbour Bridge behind them. A great photo to introduce Australia on the very first page in this album.
This is the last page in the album which sums up with a Bible verse from Jeremiah 17:7-8: "Blessed is a man who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. He will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves is always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit."
A good reminder to the man I married 20 years ago & still deeply in love today!

This 2 pages are my favorite! I cut out windows to show all the families Tim & Tom met during their trip, some new & some old....
This is one of their favorite day at Central Coast, so I named it "STAR DAY"!

Tim inherit those taste buds from me...(I think that's the only thing he inherited from me!) & my sister Linda had a great time with him in accompanying her in tasting all the variety of food in the cosmopolitan Sydney cultures!

*More to come....

Eversince Daniel was diagnosed as having autism, we noted many funny & hilarious incidences he created over the years. Some were like nightmares to us then, but looking back, they can be hilarious too!

The Sweets

Daniel was able to recognise all the rainbow colours since aged 3 or 4. One day while at a hawker stall, Dad picked up his "must have" 4 colored sweets, red, orange, yellow & green. But to Dad's total confusion, Daniel went into a huge tantrum & insisted Dad put back the sweets into the caddy tub! Dad was sure he got the right colours, so what's up??????? Daniel threw in the sweets back into the tub & then pulled out the sweets in this order, RED, ORANGE, YELLOW AND THEN GREEN! Dad, you got the sweets out in the wrong order!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
