here’s some travel journal ideas to share if you are planning for on the road documentation. I’ve wanted to do mine for the past few trips but it’s really futile. Empty pages back home, if I ever try, i’ve only manage a page of words and no pictures to tell the story. I guess this trip, I’ll do more of it. Bring along my instax as well!
Shimelle Laine‘s Travel Journal
There’s an extensive tutorial of how the journal was made from here.
Ali’s version of Travel Journal
I really like the Amy Tangerine‘s free spirited type, especially good for less preparation to bind, and glue the pages. There’s one on Brazil and one on Boston-NYC trip. Her simple pre-trip prep:
1. make a little book before the trip
2. take along some supplies
3. glue stuff in as I go.
And if you are really really too busy for a self make travel journal, try this, buy it from Moleskine online. All that’s necessary to know about the city is in the book, it’s good for leisure or for business.
However, i especially love the Cahier Book from Moleskine. This would make a good Travel Journal. You can even alter the cover once you are home to touch up the journal.
So, let me not be ambitious, my road trip will then be pack as follow (hope I will document faithfully!)
1. Moleskine Cahier Large Notebook
2. Tape Glue
3. Mini staple kit
4. Mini one hole puncher
5. Black pen/photo pen (acid-free)
6. Fuji Instax Camera (lots of film rolls)
After realizing wordpress page editor allows me to insert images into the links, I have manually redo the mosaic links for the favourite blogs I visit. Hopefully I’ll be very faithfully update the links.
Counting down to the days to the business trip and our holiday. I usually love the anticipating period but this time round, I am stressed out due to the workload (usual), kids falling sick, and also how the customer visit will fair. It’s the very first trip for me, in work. I was told “so blessed” to go for the trip. But with the high level engagement and the limelight, it will means more $$$ to bring for the co. right? Anyway, not to blog too much about my work. This blog is my personal space for my personal crafting pursue and also what I’ve love to share with friends. 
I am totally missing my scrapbooking time. Can’t recall when’s the last time already. Has it been maybe a quarter? So much so I should just do it. Like the NIKE slogan. Forget the procrastinating……..
Let’s see if my sleepy bug can leave me alone and I can manage a craft or two.
Here’s the recap of how my darling boy has grown…

It was another good time spent with my crop buddies. We have great laugh, nespresso and McD. It’s a matter of quality time spent, sharing our daily moments of lives. Thanks, Anne, Jen for the wonderul time again and a notable one for our new year day.
The 2 layouts below was completed. Being the slow scrapper, I have only managed to complete the last layout, Year 2009 by mid afternoon today. Nonetheless, feel very accomplished. I’ve scrapped myself happy!
This album was created with the help from Jen, my crop buddy. It’s really simple to do and the effect is very different. I have made it into a photo frame stand and displayed on my TV console area.
Thanks, Sis for sharing the know how.
This one layout that I have completed in Oct, 2009. Then the MBP went dead, changed harddisk and now functional with nothing much installed yet. As usual, busy was the excuse given without having time to do the needful.
I miss:
>>Scrapping
>>Baking
>>Blogging
>>Reading;
most important of all
>>Being a mother showing TLC towards the kids
Sometimes, I feel so lousy having to always resort to threaten and invoking terrible thoughts to the kids so as to prevent them from doing the mischievous stuffs. I really hope to be more patience with them. I pray that I will slowly transform into a mother of love than of threat. God, without you, I am not able to be what I want to be, so please help me.
This is a reminder of what I hope for.
and I was hoping to embellish more of the layout no. 2, however, I guess still, with so much on hands, I did not really know which to use or where I’ve stuff them too. Anyway, I am in the mood of stamping, especially with my new stamps from USC. 
Used : AC Thickers,Sassafras Lass, SEI PP, Art Declassified stamps, USC stamps
Afternoon, Seth’s swimming class at LeGenda. Kids swam in the raining day and with the rain, I think they would enjoy even more as all of them refuse to get out of the pool! HA! After the swim, the boys got together at Aiden’s and started to paint… BOY! a mess did they make but still manageable while the mommies and my Olive Tree keep telling them, “don’t do this, don’t do that!” Isn’t it defeating the purpose of them being CREATIVE!? With June’s reminder, we stopped being critical and let them do what they want with the painting and stamping and finger painting. Some of the shots taken with them in their funny faces.
Not forgetting my lil’ princess, today she’s the cooking MAMA! 
Enjoying the kitchen set at KC’s place.
For a wonderful week ahead, Jia You!
and it has been months! almost half a year that a layout actually is born. Terrible me, hoarding stash and not creating much.
here’s my *first encounters* for Grace
a first attempt for me to do a ribbon flower, painstakingly.
Used: Pink Paislee , Iamginisce, Sassafras Lass PP, Unity Stamps Co. KOM 03/09 and 06/09 rubber stamps, American Crafts Thickers, Making Memories Flower Patch Brads
This was my mood….

I would want to know what had gone wrong, it’s the wordpress problem or it’s Ecto that’s acting up on me. Most of my May blog posting are missing. Duh!?! I have to repost one by one again by copy and paste the older post on my local machine, then delete. Errors like ID look up problem (of course as they were not in my server what!), pictures went missing etc.
Anyway, here are the completed LOs of the Celine’s LO Workshop.
