What the .....

okay complainy post coming rite up ..

As u all know .. I fell on saturday and had a swollen ankle by sunday .. huge .. humongous BALL OF PAIN .. so i did wat i should the whole of sunday .. stay on the sofa and not move (not very difficult considering lazy old me ) ... and I decided to "re-alter " a box i did previously using the ANNA G papers I got on friday ... and CLEVER CLEVER ME .. decided to use her thumb instead of water /heat/adhesive remover... to rub off the adhesive and I now have a blister on my thumb .. VERY CLEVER SHARON ...

and ... I really have to rant here .. but not to anybody or targetting at anybody ... MY MODZILLA DOES NOT LIKE BLOGS WITH FANCY PANSY stuff like background music and slideshow .. IT KEEPS HANGING ON ME .. argh .... me hatey ...


On another note .. I have designed 2 classes for laines and they are up in their blog ... pretty fun class ... :)

shucks .. I have tons to write .. but all of a sudden .. I have nothing .. will update ... when I can remember ...

it happened again

yes ....

I did it again ....

clumsy old me .. twisted her ankle again .. sighz. this time ... it's the other ankle ... the left one ... will be hopping along the next few days...

*note to self : LOOK WHERE U PUT UR FEET NEXT TIME !!!!*

Guess who ....

I found .. heheheh ... MY NEW LURVVEEE *okay maybe old love for the brand but ... NEW nevertheless.... *

The Stamp Storage Idea...

okay ... So many request for a clearer sense of how I store my Stamps... so Here it is ... but before ... Here is a picture of my Liquid Glue Stash .. ahahah . different kinds .. for different techniques...


Alot hor ... hahaha .. okay .. here it is .. how I store my Stamps ... UM and Clear...


Files from Popular .. I got the hard Cover kind .. dun like flimsy types lah ... I got those that U can slide stuff in the front, back and sides ... Cost ... $5 from Popular .. :) they are those arch files ...


This is the Hard Cover Case that I got from Popular .. Cost is 1.75 .. Size is A4 .. there are many different Sizes .. and I have some B5 Size for my Alpha Stamps .. (depending on Size of Stamps too . )



I used my Cropadile to punch holes in at the "SEALED" side so that I can use the "opened" side to slide in Plain Paper so that I can stick the "image" (Usually in the Packaging) onto the paper and stick the stamp above the clear file (like how you stick ur stamp on ur acrylick Block)

Proof that I use the one which opens horizontally instead of on the top ...

heheh .. So hope this is clear enuff .. if not .. erm .. let me think of something ..

Ribbon Storage

Here is how I store my ribbons .. I am sure many of you have tons of ribbons lying ard your area and or tangled up in jars. I know that many scrapbookers use those large ikea jars to keep your ribbons by color but I find that this way is the best to keep them using the least amount of space . I use DMC Thread Spokes and the DMC Thread keeper for this.



1) Folder and Spokes look like this. One Folder can keep up to 14 spokes and spokes are sold in packets of 10. I get them at Spotlight but have spotted them at art friend and most places that sell Cross Stich Stuff. The Folder Cost abt 1.79 each and a packet of Spokes is abt 1.99.

As the folders have Holes already punched they fit into most 2 ring Binders and I store them in the same Files as My Stamps. Files from Popular Bookstore.



My Ribbon Collection. They are sorted by Colors, or if I have many of the same kind but different colors (aka Polka Dotted, Grosgrain) they are kept by type.



This is how it looks filed...

Hope this Helps in your organising ur stash ...

Bored in Jakarta

today was quite a bz day for me .. went up north of JKT to meet a client (abt 1 hour drive away) and den went to another client's place near the hotel .. and walked back to the hotel (i think my lungs are full of exhaust fumes) .. braved crossing a big road without traffic lights (scary shit) ... but was quite an eye opener .. so far ..

Jkt traffic would actually be quite good if only there was proper planning in the first place but den again ..it is now too late .. wanted to go check out a mall in the evening but decided against it when I figured that it would take me abt an hour in traffic (peak Hour) and den by den the shops would be closed so I am stuck at the hotel eating room service and watching Cable TV ... and surfing .. gotta make my money's worth ..

Tmr will be a long day with the remaining customers to visit and waiting for another one to arrive from Surabaya .. and maybe if there is time .. to go check out the night life in JKT with Ciska .. kekek .. oh well .. will see if it will actually happen .. heheheeh ..

Helllooo from JKT

Yeap I am in JKT .. today is already the 3rd day in JKT and caved .. caved in for internet Access .. cannot tahan without lah .. :P

Waiting for a client's driver to come pick me up at the hotel to take me to their office and den another 2 clients for today and free time tonite i hope ..
