So finally, all the preparation is done. The most trying part was making the treat boxes… but that’s done too! I love it!! I hope Caitlyn’s guest loves it too.. Even Daddy helped me to cut out the boxes till very very late at night sacrificing his tv time. So that’s big deal ok!! And grandma helped a bit as well…but I think it was too much for her to be bossed around by moi. Plus, she is never very keen on all the arty farty stuff. I still remember when I told her that I wanted to go to an art school after secondary school..the ‘look’ she gave me was worst then when I told her that I was preggars. And she asked me, “And what are you going to do when you come out? Cannot find any job lah… You’ll starve to death!” So you see, I’m more likely to get preggars then to any chance to go to art collage. That’s how I ended up working as a make-up artist (? no, that has nothing what so ever to do with art of course) then a trolley dolly for the next 8 years of my life.

So anyway, she help cut out a few boxes too, I think that’s as much as she can take.

Everything is done, I’m ready… Let’s party!!! *Geez…I’m more excited then my own party. Sorry la huh…I just love planning parties!!*

Hello!! Sorry, I haven’t been writing for awhile. I’ve been busy preparing for Caitlyn’s birthday party, confirming everything and mostly making treat boxes! Sigh! I didn’t think it’ll be so much work!! But it’s all worth it. You’ll see. The boxes looks great! *a bit perasan also la* But I’m really happy how it’s turning out. I hope our guest will appreciate and keep the boxes, for awhile atleast. *ahem! hint! hint!* Testing my PS (Photoshop) skills and not to mention my creative skills. Since I’m no pro at PS, it actually took me quite a while to get it right.

So far I’ve confirmed the venue,finalized the menu, sent out invitations, checked out the balloons and deco for the place. And I thought we’ll have a simple one with family since this year I don’t have a maid and Greg has been busy as well. He is actually having his base check this month so he won’t really have time to help me. He is even flying on that day itself so… that’s why we wanted to have it somewhere that we don’t have to put up tents and clean up after that! Plus, we have a wedding dinner to attend that night too. So we want something simple, besides, I don’t think the birthday girl will last too long anyway. But to not give a party for her first birthday will be equivalent to criminal offence. We (Greg and I) will be answering questions for the rest of our lives and probably till we are lying in our coffins.

My Dad was just telling me how important it is to celebrate first birthdays as in the olden days in China (it always is…just like once upon a time thingy) most babies don’t make it through their first year, so to be able to celebrate first birthday is a BIG occassion… I think it’s just an excuse to EAT!!! Very Chinese thing to do you know…

Speaking of balloons, does anyone know where I can get a good deal? So far I’ve checked out the one in Bangsar, Party Balloons, they are the only one that will come and do the set up if we order more then 70 pcs. And that’s gonna cost RM218! The rest will not do set up…so if I get from them, I’ll have to out them up myself. Well…I guess I’ll just have to get the Godpa to help me. *hehehe!* I’m still contemplating on getting a pinata, it’s expensive and we really don’t have that many children, only all aunties,uncles and grandparents.

The cake, we’ll be getting from Piece of cake. I heard only praises from people who have ordered from her (Lilian) I’ve seen picture on the internet, and they look really cute! Check it out for yourself.
So that’s that… I have to get back to my boxes…(sorry)

Psssst!! I’ve found this great scrapbooking site. Well…they don’t really have freebies (I know those are the best of the bestest) but they have really cool shabby stuff. I was surfing for some stuff, preparing for Caitlyn’s birthday goodies.. and I came across Prima Hybrit. Check it out it’s worth it! As for the goodies… I’m not telling… You’ll have to come back and check out the photos from Caitlyn’s party. I’ve just learnt about hybrit scrapping!! This is perfect for me!! Remember how I was really torn about moving to digital scrapping…because all the stash that I’ve bought for my paper scrapbooking will be wasted! And it’s really expansive, I’ve spent a bomb on all those stuff! And not to mention all the gadgets that I’ve invested in. And so..now I’ve found hybrit scrapping…where you combine both digi and paper scrapping to creat layouts as well as a while lot of other stuff! Well… still don’t know what I’m talking about? Hahaha!Like I said, Check in here again and you’ll see my very first hybrit scrap project. Well…I hope it jadi (successful) la.. So..wish me luck!How’s the party planning going? Well… I still haven’t confirm the venue yet. There’s 3 to choose from but Marmalade is quite expensive…but it’s the best location. Sigh!! And I know a good number of us lurves Marmalade and everything about it. So..who knows. And that’s why I have not sent any invitations out yet. Hahaha! *okok..* I’ll decide by tomorrow after I have a discussion with my financial controller (aka Greg)
