Scrapbooking
Scrapbooking has become popular these days with the opening of specialised scrapbooking shops. They even conduct classes.
Siew Min, Siew Lin’s sis arranged for us to go for one of those classes at Made With Love, Plaza Singapura, prior to the wedding. A few of us went – close friends and family etc. Even her dad was supposed to come but he had last minute work. BUT his entry turned out to be the main tearjerker.
Anyways, our task? To complete a scrapbook for Siew Lin for her wedding!
I’ve been a scrapbooker (is there even such a word?) and wrote journals for years. I even compiled an entire scrapbook prior to my wedding that detailed the 29 – 32 years of our lives, prior to marriage. So precious! But I didn’t really believe that real, hardcore journalling and scrapbooking involved expensive, nice paper! It’s supposed to be scrap – gluing bits of articles, photos, handwritten notes etc. Hello, scrap???
Anyways… I’m hooked. How can anyone resist all the pretty paper, hooks and buttons!?!? I think I walked round the shop almost 5 times just looking at all the gorgeous stuff. Check out my first time creation.
The best part of it was the experience of sitting together with the family, recounting our growing up years and laughing at all the photos we’ve chosen. So much fun! Plus the food was really good. They had this yummy cookies and cream shake. I even brought home the leftovers – mash potatoes and sausage.
