Living The Dream

Since being active in TLP, I've come to love a few designers' work. They are the Pink Reptile Designs & Little Butterfly Wings. And I'm proud to say that I have most of their kits.

Since I've gotten several GSO using their kits, plus January is my birth month and with some encouragement from fellow digi-scrappers, I took the plunge and ask to be on the Guest CTs for these two awesome designers.

And.
They. Said.
!!! YEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS !!!!

I start work for PRD the moment I am granted access to her CT forum.

As for LBW, she'll make the arrangements for me after next week.

!!! What a way to start 2014 !!!

Let it Go

I was listening to the movie Frozen's Let It Go by Idina Menzel. And also watching the video online.

Then it just hit me ...
that I lost my paternal & fav grandma in Dec 2008 ...
that my last surviving grandparent is not doing well ... like now ... right now.

So here I am ... letting it go.
The journaling is extracted from the "Let It Go" lyrics. Naturally, of cos.

!!! Yes, I'm so gonna catch the show in the theatre !!!

Saving Gaia

Journal reads:
Ever since the new canteen at 2nd floor allows me to use my own cup to buy the tea, it has become a morning ritual to have a cup before I start my work day.
And the best part is I get to save 20-cents when I used my own cup.
