Photo-A-Day >> June 2012

O, what a month full of activities when the mid-year school holiday rolled in! The boys kept me busy at home and I scrapped lesser than usual.  Nonetheless, with them around, we channelled our time to other fun activities such as cycling, baking, visited the Sciene Centre to witness the transition of Venus, 2 days out at Sentosa, watched Madagascar movie, attended two 2 hours workshops (making cake-pops and making Mexican Pinata) with the boys at the Community Club, visited Garden by the Bay and I have had the chance to meet up with my friends over lunch and dinner sessions.

It was a fruitful month indeed :)

Back to my P-A-D, as usual, I was looking for idea for how to decorate my layouts. Thank God for the right timing that, I was trying out my newly purchased circle cutter and with the first few cut out circles, I thought why not to use it as a daily photo mat cum journalling piece, instead of my past months' style. Thus, I cut 30 circles and of course, took the opportunity to practice the cutting skill and explore the tool further.

For the title, I used stickles to write the Chinese characters of June and the date range :)

Here are the layouts:

My younger boy saw me hand-stitching the border of the Part 2 layout and asked if he could try, and here's the answer:

After his attempt, he commented that this was his first time using a needle to sew and happily, he went to Grandma to tell her about it.

My heart smiled too, that I gave him a chance to try it out, with supervision of course. Well, just a simple 'yes' from me had made the boy and me happy :)

Thank you for visiting and have a blessed day ahead :)
