Happy Father’s Day

My father didn’t tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it.
– Clarence Budington Kelland

I know things haven’t always been easy, and I know I haven’t always been the best daughter.

But thank you for always sticking with me through thick and thin, for making sacrifices for me, for our family, for working hard and providing for us, for taking the time and effort to spend time with us and be a part of our lives, for teaching us how to love God and His Word, for striving to give us the best life possible.

Happy Father’s Day, Daddy.

I love you,
xoxo.

Collections / braids and buns

June is one of the hottest months around here. And with summer just round the corner, putting hair up in buns and braids is the perfect way to beat the heat! And with practice and patience, you’ll be showing off these styles in no time.

Prioritize.

I feel like I need 29 hours in a day. Like I have too much stuff to do. Like I need more time to do more things.

And so, as priorities go, I’m going to have to re-order where this blog is on the list (read: fewer blog posts than there already are).

Even scrapbooking and making stuff has had to move down on the list 🙁
But that’s just the way things are, just the way life goes.

The next few months are going to be busybusybusy.

Here’s to greater productivity and accomplishment!

Collections / flowers

Today’s collection: FLOWERS!

Totally girly. And pretty. And inspiring.

We’re all good (:

Right now: Thursday

Needing to get back into some kind of running routine.

Kinda sorta wishing I’d decided to go and climb Mt. Rinjani next week.
*but Mom and I are gonna have a blast together, just the two of us. So we’re good (:

Thinking about scaling down my blog reading list.

Telling myself to stop spending too much time on the computer.

Anticipating a very full schedule and hoping things will fall in place for all those activities.

Marveling at how God is just exciting like that.

Still praying for opportunity and God’s sovereignty in working things out.

Dreaming about a new scrap space.

Loving eating banana cake – all day, every day (almost).

Hardly believing that tomorrow’s already Friday.

I hope your week’s been lovely so far! (:

Everyone needs a little inspiration

I know it’s been pretty quiet on the creative front here lately.

But I’ve been busy, so making stuff has kinda had to take a back seat. I’m slowly but surely falling behind on Project 52 (Can you believe that I almost forgot about making layouts?!). And Project Life is pretty much a never-ending project, if you know what I mean.

While I wouldn’t say that I’ve lost the mojo, I would say that I just haven’t been on top of things lately.

But it’s all good.

I’m taking my time to work through things, reminding myself to enjoy the process instead of stressing out and what not.

But here are some things that have inspired me of late and make me wish I could drop everything and just make stuff all day, every day instead (:

I SO need to try this color-blocking thing some time.

This reminds me that Project Life doesn’t have to be complicated because I’m totally digging this spread!

I’m going to get back into the swing of things pretty soon!
(I hope.)

How has your week been going? (:

Dream.

Totally.

Being in Pua (even for those short few days) gave me courage to dream again.
Albeit with a few reality checks, just so.

But, ahh, now it’s time to go out and make those dreams happen.

Time to sprinkle the glitter and fairy dust! (:
xo.

Hello June.

Source: laurenconrad.com via Amelia on Pinterest

We’re already three days into June, I know. But, hello June.

Hello sunny days, hair up in ponytails and ice cream. Hello driving lessons, lots of activities, cello practices. Hello save-money-despite-the-Great-Singapore-Sale days. Hello hanging out with friends and laughing. Hello (I hope) more time to make stuff.

2012, you’re going by way to fast. Please slow down.

But ahh, June, I’m going to make you a good one (:

Hello month, inspired by this post.

Right now: Tuesday

Totally missing being in Pua.

Cherishing the lessons learnt and memories made.

Jumping right into the middle of a very busy schedule.

Praying for faith, trust, opportunity and pure hearts.

Stressing out over how much cello practice I need to do.

Thankful for perspective change and how good God is.

Focusing on what’s ahead and needs to get done.

Catching up on work and Project Life.

Striving to be and do my best in everything.

Making plans for summer.

Anticipating spending time with friends over the weekend.

Reminding myself to be realistic.

Maybe it’s not always about trying to fix something broken. Maybe it’s about starting over and creating something better.

I hope your week is amazinggg (:
