A Trip to Popular (Toa Payoh)

I just went to Popular in Toa Payoh. I returned with a few items for my very 1st Filofax. Don't know what a Filofax is? See below:

Front

Inside

I've placed an order for this pink baby and it should be in my hands in 10 working days max.

These are tabs. Don't mistake them for flags.

Tabs are made from a stronger material than flags and hence, are not as flimsy.

Great for index labels.

This I bought as the clips are prewtttyyyy...

Notepad.

I don't think further when there's a cat on it.

In both fluorescent and non-fluorescent colors

This is not for my filofax.

I see, I think of my favorite kid, I take, I pay. =)

That's it for me for today!

Happy Sunday Y'all!!!

Yet Another Parcel...

Before you go "What?!?!", let me explain...

I haven't been buying stuff for my hobby for a while now. Others will need to shop every month. Me? I need to buy stuff for my hobby if I want to but I restrict myself! Okie... instead of purchasing once a month, I accumulate them and do a few purchases at 1 go. Hey! It's all for a good cause!

I came home with the following items:

Metal Adaptor Plate
I need this as I get really frustrated when I couldn’t get clean cuts from my detailed dies.

Tombow Mono Liquid Glue

I tried my 1^st bottle and I like it so much, I’m getting TWO on standby!

Hero Arts Shadow Ink
I need to give it a try after so many good reviews.

Winter in The Park Stamp
I saw a video using this stamp set and it’s not bad looking. Since it’s on a sale, I thought – why not?

Hero Arts Old Letter Writing
This would make a good background stamp. I’m just waiting for my ink to arrive.

Ancient Gold Embossing Powder
On 1^st sight, I wasn’t feeling it. Upon application, I’m loving it. Enough said.

Martha Stewart Branch Punch
This would make a good wreath, good for Christmas.

Xyron Sticker Maker
I had wanted to get the 5” machine but that needs to be ordered. Bummer!
Thus, I settled on this one. It was on sale anyway…

Distress Ink Pads
They are on sale! Don’t get any? Are you mad?!?!?!
I got hold of a total of 10 x ink pads. I was hoping to get more but I’ve a budget to stick to. Bummer!
I hope they have a sale again for these ink pads and Copic markers next month…

That's all for now.

Lazy Sunday...

J & I went for a movie on Sunday – The Butler. It wasn’t what I had expected. The caption – A small voice can start a big revolution. Something like that. Well, when you read such a caption, there would be expectations but those expectations are not what I had expected! As such, I was disappointed.

Before the movie starts, J & I went to Secret Recipe for lunch. He had the Caesar Salad and I opt for the Tom Yam Kung (Chicken). There’s no way I’m going to settle for salad for my lunch on a weekend. He claimed that the salad was good. Looking at the salad dressing, I’m not too sure. Thousand Island – Not light and refreshing. My Tom Yam Kung wasn’t that bad. It was spicy for sure.

After the movie, I went to Spotlight to look for A7 envelopes. No luck there. Before heading home, we went to Secret Recipe where I bought a slice of Chocolate Banana cake.

Just look at all those bananas...

Frankly speaking, choc cakes rich in choc makes me sick after a few mouthfuls. One of which is Awfully Chocolate. Don't get me wrong. Their cakes are delicious but not one which I can take slice after slice.

This one from Secret Recipe comes with fruits so it's not so nauseating.

That’s how I spent my Sunday. For now, I’m just glad I’m almost done with the Christmas Cards for church.

Another Parcel...

Another parcel! Makes me so happy... Let me show you my goodies!

This I bought because you are able to have a straight glue and also a small square of glue. Don't understand? Go YouTube and find out more!

This I bought as I have the co-ordinating stamp set.

Saves me time cutting the little pieces out though at times, I do prefer cutting even though it takes more time and effort as I find it therapeutic. 

I bought this as I lost the alphabet Y from my Martha Stewart alphabet stamp set. I lost it while washing it. I dropped it in the hole in the sink. Bummer! Anyway, I'm glad I now have small letters as well! I'm thinking of getting the Harold's version on the next purchase.

This I bought to make Baby Shower cards.

Lawn Fawn never fails to produce stamps with cute images.

Most Lawn Fawn stamps have to be pre-ordered. This included.

I've a powder pad but I don't enjoy having cornstarch on my hands all the time so I bought this, hoping it's better.

I've been wanting this Glossy Accents for a while now.

This is 1 of the items which will make a difference on your card, just like the white gel pen!

Like I said previously, I've a number of girlfriends who gave birth to bb girls recently and I thought of making some hair clips for them! I got the felt material ready couple of weeks back so I'm ready to roll now...

I like straight lines. This explains the ruler.

It's not just any ruler. It's a T-ruler.

That's all I have for today!

Have a brilliant Saturday y'all... I know I'm going to be busy, VERY busy...

I'm now towards the end of making Christmas cards for my church. I'm now making the lids of the boxes.

Till next time, take good care...

My Parcel Arrived!!! Yippee!!!

This morning, I checked the USPS website and it says Chicago. I was disappointed. It's been 10 days and I'm getting impatient. Boy was I surprised when my helper said there's a package for me. So excited!

This will ensure better stamping

I'm going to make Christmas cards for my loved ones with this set!

I got this for Christmas.

I heard that Hero Arts Shadow Ink is really good.

I've been looking high and low for packaging like these.

Singapore cannot find.

I was really happy to finally get these.

This is the main reason why I even place an order.

Just look at my stamps with the new packaging!

So much neater and presentable.

Makes me feel so good and organized!

I'm going to make a trip to IKEA 1 day to get some containers!

I'm going to get the remaining stuff which I ordered locally come this Saturday. So excited!

Think I'm spending too much? Well, I bought all these from the money earned from selling cards! My little box is now empty. Poor me...

There's about 34 x Hero Arts Shadow Ink pads I'm eyeing. That will set me back by 240 bucks! So much money but the colors? Oh so yummy looking...
