June Gloom

The mornings has been gloomy and makes it so comfy to be tucked-in under the sheets and just stay there... it takes a lot of willpower to get my a*s out of the bed. Yes, I struggle to get out of bed... it's a daily affair.. haha....

Made this layout with a photo taken in Werribee Park, Melbourne. haha... I am still not done yet with the photos from that trip. I love that park and we took a lot of photos there  :)

Am trying out the 'banner' design on this layout... just some simple banners I cut out and assembled. I added hidden journalling on this layout too. Cut the tag out using a puncher and I 'divided' the photo into 3 as well just for some added dimension. 

I am needing those moments where I need to write down my plans on paper and prioritize again. They are all scrambled in my mind again... LOL... running around and making me dizzy.. haha.

///Sick days///

I'm guessing, nobody likes sick days? haha.... I guess it's a good thing my brother and his girlfriend are only coming in the middle of this week instead of the last couple of days because I have been having dizzy spells since Saturday evening.

I was washing sweet potatoes and chatting with the hubs when the room sudden tilted! It was a very uncomfortable feeling. He helped me to the sofa and I took a rest and was better that night but when I woke up on Sunday morning, I couldn't even sit up without having the whole room spinning! :(

Practically wasted my whole Sunday sleeping cos I felt dizzy even when I open my eyes... sigh... am feeling a lot better now. At least I can move about and not feel like I'm in Willy Wonka's factory... and at least I can look at the laptop now. Couldn't do that yesterday without feeling like I was going to puke.

I made this layout last week and had not blogged about it yet... so here, it is! I love the woodgrain background... 

My aunt and uncle were asking us to do the pretend "I don't want you", "hey, you!" kinda shots... hahahaha.... it was fun! 

I think I'm those no-sketch-in-mind, simple kinda scrapper... but there's more to explore and discover so I'll see where this leads me :D

When I am sick and unwell, I look to porridge as my comfort food. What about you?

I wouldn't say that I have a trigger-happy finger but I really do love taking pictures. I have bought quite a few cameras these last couple of years since I caught the shutter-bug but my favorites so far is my Nikon D90 and my iPhone 4s. The former, obviously because it takes way better pictures but the latter  because is so lightweight and it's all-in-one (phone, camera, games, etc). It's really helpful when you wanna take good pictures but don't want to lug a dslr around :)

For my recent trip to Melbourne, I decided to travel light and was only equipped with my iPhone 4s. In fact, the photos in the last couple of blog posts are all taken with it too. To say it for a fact, I am impressed with the camera function... it is w-a-y better than my old iPhone (the first gen) and the iPad... :)

I love the paint-peeling off the wall kinda effect on this patterned paper... it's awesomely vintage :)

And I do have a thing for turquoise.. I love that colour, somehow.

I have not done a 3 photo layout before. This is my first time doing one. The doilies have been inked as I wanted it to have a bit of colour as opposed to being stark-white against the background. As you can see, I love inking the sides of all the papers... 

This trip to Melbourne was awesome. I met with my aunt & uncle who went to visit and accompany my grandma back, spent time with my grandma, cousins and aunt & uncle who hosted us :) It was a very family-close-to-heart-kinda trip :)
