Thinking of You .... I Wish You All the Best!

Eight years ago on this day I gave birth to a bouncing and healthy baby boy =)  He screamed so loud and high half-way out and hearing him scream made me feel at peace coz I know then that my baby is alive and no complications.  He had thick black hair and bluish eyes with an asian nose ... my nose hahahahahahahahjust perfect for such angelic face.

I will never forget the moment and feeling of holding my baby for the very first time .... he was contented lying on my chest...... then searching for my breasts hoping for milk.  I cried with joy and I saw the look of my husbands eyes - it was the dearest look I have ever seen.

Well, it has been eight years and since no one can stop time I just have to face the reality that my only child is growing fast.  I can't help but think of his future ... wondering what would it be for him ... will he fall in love with the right woman ... will that woman take care of him, love him, and adore him the way I do?  Will I have the opportunity  to see his children?  So many things to ponder but all I can do is wish him all the best in life and may God protect him in every step he makes.

To my dear son, I want you know that every second of the day you're not with me - I think of you.  And everytime I think of you I ask God that let no harm befall you.  There is a saying "There are 2 everlasting gifts we can give to our children:  one is roots and the other is wings".  You dad and I do everything we can to give you proper roots and I'm proud that you are growing up the way we wanted to be. In fact you are too perfect that other parents like you so much.   As for the wings my son, just the thought of it gives me shivers for I am not sure if I will be able to let go of you BUT I know someday you have to spread your wings and soar high ... so high that every day and every night I will wait for your return.  You know for a fact that we will always be here for you .... will help you in every way we can while we're still alive.

To my dear husband, what took you so long in finding me?  If we met earlier we could have a daughter, too (hahahahha).  Thank you for giving me a perfect son.  Thank you for loving and caring us unconditionally.  I truly thank God for choosing and blessing us together ... always and forever.

May God bless us with long healthy lives so we may be able to gather memories together ... hand in hand ... in victory and defeat ... in sorrow and in pain .... in success and failure. May all the memories we are building together be  shared from generation to generation.  Amen.

Happy Happy Birthday my dearest son!

until then......

Kärlek (Love)

First and foremost I'm happy to say that the magician for my son's birthday called yesterday evening and confirmed that he is coming on the day of the party.  Yipee!!!!  Since Monday I have been worried about the magician coz he got mixed-up with dates but as of last night all is clear.  Can you see me smiling?  Whew!  I have kept this situation from my hubby coz I don't want him to worry about it.  In my mind I'm already thinking of an alternative should the magician not show up but now all I can do is continue more projects and last minute lists of things to bring for the party. 

We decided not to hold the party here at home coz approximately 40 people will be coming and 75% are kids and the rest are parents.  We rented a big place just near our place ... a block away actually so I really have to make a list of  what to bring.  I wouldn't dare come running home just to get a hammer or a rope wearing my Halloween costume, right?  The good part is 2 parents will be helping me set up the decorations I made .... prepare food ... and of course the mini stage.  Which reminds me I still have to send emails to all the guests informing them to bring pillows were they can sit coz the magician will be performing for 1 hour and he suggested it's best for the kids to sit on the floor while parents sit on chairs.

Anyway, my card for this day is once again simple and applicable for love, anniversary, or friendship =)  I used MS deep edge punch - Daisy Chain" and Doily Lace Trim edger... added 2 pearl hearts  ... and stamped scripted kärlek (love) using white CTMH ink pad.

See you around =)

until then.......

It's a lazy Sunday for me ... as always.

I always wake up very late which means nearly lunch time.  Yeah I know wasted hours for crafting but no matter what I do even if I try to get up early I always end up going back to bed.

I love Sundays.  A day were-in all of us are just too lazy to do anything except to watch films or some laundry or just stay in respective favorite corners.  I think the clock ticks slow during Sundays.

Due to my laziness I created a very simple card.  See to believe.

All I did was just used a left-over cardstock .... then adhere a fabric flower in silver and black .... lastly added my paper rose which I made using the Sizzix 3D Rose.

 

Although it's very very simple I believe it's so perfect for anniversary or everyday love from ages 35 above.  What do you think?

Well, back to the TV room and maybe there's a nice romantic or adventure film but I'm really hoping for a horror film =)

Thanks for viewing =)

until then......

Love You To Death

Wow!  It's been such a long time for me to update my site all because I decided to concentrate helping hubby in our companies.  It's a different kind of fulfillment but deep in my heart I miss crafting ... miss it so much that it hurts.

Anyway, it's first day of October and an hour more here then it will be another day.  This day of every year we all know that it's World Card Making Day (WCMD) and a dear crafty friend, Joan of Tinker Planet, had given me a wack (lol) when I woke up this morning.  She's actually having a blog candy and if you are interested hop in to her blog and read more about it coz her BG has a great twist.

The wack was indeed a wake-up call for me to which I'm very very thankful.  Geez!  It has been ages since I sat for long hours here in my craft room.  I had to take long walks to get some inspiration but I was not successful.  My whole being is fully concentrated on the decors, give-a-ways, and invitations I have to send out by this coming Tuesday with regards to my son's kiddie halloween birthday party.  The invites are not done yet so sad to say I cannot make the cards my entry for this day.  However, I pulled out one cricut cartrdige ... opened a page from the  handbook and with eyes closed I pinpointed an image that I will play with.

The cartridge I randomly pulled out is "Spring Holiday Cards" and the image is the skull :)  It truly is the start of Halloween month.

I enjoyed making this simple card coz it turned out a fun break for me after long hours of doing the Halloween invites.  Will post the invites as soon as all 32 pieces are done =)
