From Our Blog 2 Yours - 3rd Entry

Back agaaaaaainnnn with From Our Blog 2 Yours from SSD!
I never knew there's such fun website like this before *ashame*
And here's I found what Coffee girl I am ;) :

You Are a Cappuccino

You're fun, outgoing, and you love to try anything new. However, you tend to have strong opinions on what you like. You are a total girly girly at heart - and prefer your coffee with good conversation. You're the type that seems complex to outsiders, but in reality, you are easy to please

What Kind of Coffee Girl Are You?

In the real world, I like Frapucinno, I don't know whether it's categorized as coffee or not :p
Cold Chocolate Frapucinno - THE BEST!

Rgds,
Charlize

Raphael in Pictures

My first son, Raphael, had a wonderful holiday with us last December in Jakarta.
We went to Senayan City to attend Lego City Exhibition.
It was fun and good for Raphael ...
Here's the pictures in scrap:

When he was on holiday with us, he met one of our friend's daughter named Jocelyn, she was called Josa. Josa has a gameboy and Raphael in love with ... her gameboy HAHAHA ...
Where she went, he kept following her ... looks like a falling in love boy ... but yes ... with gameboy hahahaha ...





















Journalling:

I believe in angels,
The kind that heaven sends,
I am surrounded by angels,
But I call them friends.

Jocelyn lives in Singapore with her parents. Her mom: Evelyn, is one of my husband's best and school friends.
They were nice, both of them.

And another great news I forgot to mention ... now I am one of Amy-Leigh Fennell creative teams ... YIIIIIIHAAAAAAA ...
Her designs are just fabulous ... I don't look at designers but I look at their designs. Sometimes like french designers are hardly heard but their designs are also fabulous!
I apply again today for one french designer ... well ... let's see whether I am in or not ;)

I put links for Amy-Leigh at this blog also ... please check ...
and here's the preview of her designs:

Scrapping Moments

When I was in Jakarta for few days with my husband and Raphael, I had to call my mom from my hometown to come to Surabaya, where I live, to assist the nanny that I hired taking care of Bianca for us.
At least I have someone I trust to look after my baby, so the holiday would be fun and relieving!

After I returned, mom still around and I made some pictures with her and Bianca.
Here's the layout I made this morning ... submit to Sweet Recipe Challenge at Sweet Shoppe Community:

I also scrap a picture of my dearly beloved husband ... a simple husband ... simply one ... who loves me for who I am ... (I love you "yank")























I also submit this LO for For Cookie Decorating 101 at Sweet Shoppe Community.

One person that's so special in my life is my simply husband Smile
He's so simple and humble ... he accepts me for who I am ...
I love him ... more and more each day!

And last entry for today is pictures of us, best friends and wives, with Yusak at his wedding day last 29th December 2007.























Submit for Sweet Inspiration Challenge at Sweet Shoppe Community.

I was inspired by the landscape layout photograph for those shoes ...
trying with wedding pictures of my friend's Yusak ;)

Journalling:
My husband has a group of friends.
Around 12 men in the group since they were elementary
school student at Solo City, where they were born.
One by one got married, but they still hang around together
Not only 12 of them, every new wedding party ended,
there's always a new additional member, the wife.
So ... it's now more than 12, some of the men are not yet married.
The pictures were taken last 29th December when Yusak, one of
my husband's bestfriend got married.
Unfortunately due to the flood at Solo, not all of them could
come attending the party.
The Left Picture is the Wives with the groom.
The Right Picture is the Friends, best friends, with the groom.
So happy that in this wide wide world, we still have someone
who we can rely on ... someone to share secrets, happiness and sorrow.

Our Jakarta Holiday Layouts

Well ... we were having a holiday in Jakarta. Actually it was for Yusak's wedding but then we also continue the trip for our holiday. Too bad, Bianca was not with us. Beside she was too little to be taken with, it's also for her own sake ... it's tiring!

Then, I used them for Heather Manning's kit ... it's my new designer, I am her guest CT for January!

From Our Blog 2 Yours

From Our Blog 2 Yours is one of, for me, a very creative way to encourage people doing blogging, especially for our own sake of tracking method to keep all the life happenings in books - digitally.

And here I am participating as I have been falling in love with Sweet Shoppe Design before I even try to become Creative Team and doing layouts only with freebies :)

Now ... in this event, they asked us this:
For this week’s FOB2Y challenge, I’d like you to post on your own blog about which SSD challenge is your favorite. Which do you most look forward to? Simply post about the challenge and include a link to one of your layouts from that challenge (it doesn’t have to be a new layout… just any layout that you’ve completed for your favorite challenge).

For all challenges in all scrapbook forum - I love Scraplift Challenge ... it's sooooo inspiring to learn from others layouts ... but THIS MORNING, I just found out that doing other kind of challenge is also exciting!

I done mine at Sweet Inspiration Challenge - because I was just having such a beautiful holiday on December (closing year 2007) with my family at Jakarta. Doing outdoor activities and playing around at Dunia Fantasi (Indonesian Disneyland I guess hehehe).
And I am sooooooooo surprised that this layout I called Fly High has become the LAYOUT OF THE WEEK of SSD!.

I am soooooooo happy ... happy happy happy ...
They also announce it in their blog here. (Gals, you're all just like what your forum title is, so SWEET!).
So ... my choice of challenge that I love in SSD - would be Sweet Inspiration Challenge :)
And anyone should be participated in Sweet Shoppe Designs Challenge, they are awesome and will make you one step more creative than you ever did before (LOL).

Once again, thanks SSD!

Sweet and sweet for you all,
Charlz
