Love is a new pair of green Converse

On the weekend my friends Liz, Jenni and I got together for a scrapbooking session - thanks Jenni for hosting us! Despite calling it that, the only one scrapbooking was Jenni! hehehe The idea came about at the end of last year when we decided it was about time we did something with each of our stack of wedding photos. We have had 3 scrapbooking sessions so far this year and by this time round, Liz and I have sort of lost motivation. I've also managed to deplete my paper/cardstock supplies and have not had time to stock up. Not to worry, we've got plenty of time until our 50th wedding anniversaries! hehehe So while Jenni was working away at creating some beautiful pages (BTW Jenni is expecting her first bub in August - so excited for her!) I did some crochet and Liz made party invitations. So the whole afternoon was spent crafting, drinking tea, munching on snacks and just chit-chatting which was quite nice :o)

My unfinished title page - the chiyogami cardstock is from our wedding invitation

That night, I went to a getogether at Dan & Teresa's (parents of baby Maddie) by myself coz hubby had a men's dinner on. I had a great time getting to know some of the other girls from church better - thanks to Dan & Teresa for being so hospitable! The funniest thing about the night was that the majority of food people brought turned out to be desserts! not that I minded of course hehehe. I got there early so I had time to play with Maddie before she went to bed. I read to her and sang to her gosh she is so cute! everytime I hold her I think about having my own baby hehehe well not before I finish my thesis! I also gave her the beanie I made and it fitted her well - yay! she looks so adorable!

When I finally got home, hubby had a surprise for me - a brand new pair of Converse Chucks in green (above)! Hubby is so sweet he had gotten them for me while I was at scrapbooking. I have been searching for a new pair as my current ones are really worn out. To me, chucks make great lab shoes coz they are closed in and oh so comfortable to wear all day :o)

Hope you're having a good week
