Hi everyone! Some sneaks for today…

This has got to be one of the coolest yet - an IM (Instant Messaging) for the iPhone which allows you to sign on to different IMs at once and the coolest - you can remain online (connected) even when the phone is in sleep mode. You get buzzed when you get a message on IM. How cool is that?!?!? AND it has a built-in feature that allows you to take pictures and send them instantly over IM. Woohooo!! I’m happy!! 
p/s: It’s got cute emoticons too!
Another LO I just completed… been feeling quite motivated to scrap coz my new friends, AnnaMarie, Lynn and myself, have decided to challenge ourselves to complete a set number of layouts a week. No slacking!! So here’s mine for Pencil Lines Sketch #91.
Journalling: 9 years, 4 months and still… so VERY happy.
This week’s challenge at Faith Sisters was kinda tough at first. We were asked to create a patriotic layout, since it’s 4th of July week in the States. I had really NO idea what I was going to do until J suggested I create a layout about Switzerland… since it’s been our home for the past few months and how I feel about the country.
This layout is also for an overdue challenge over at TallyScrapper. I was challenged to create a layout to document about my life now.
So this is what I did…
Journalling:
It’s July now and we’ve been away from home for 3 months now. Sure, there are things we miss - family, friends, the food! 
But over time, we’ve grown to love the Swiss way of life. It isn’t easy, getting used to things being shut down on Sundays or that we can’t really communicate with the locals, but this has been home for a few months now and for a few more to come. It’s been an amazing journey and opportunity! We couldn’t have asked for more!
I did not use any patterned paper on this layout, a first for me, I must say! And I quite like the effect. Now I got to get me more Bazzill Kraft cardstock…LOL!! I’ve been searching high and low for them and if anyone knows where I can get them in bulk (like packs of 25pcs), I’d be eternally grateful!
Have a great day and thanks for dropping by!
2 for now…

I’m honored to be the guest of the month at Scrappin Kids. Love this site and love what the ladies are doing - scrapping about their kids. Don’t we all love that? The challenge for the month was to create a layout documenting a ‘first’ for my child. So I did this…
My comments:
“A few days back, my daughter walked to school for the first time by herself.
The school isn’t that far away (about 7mins walk)
but I think it’s a great accomplishment for a girl her age.
I was so proud of my little girl
and I had to document this “FIRST”.”

“Time really flies.
It seems like just yesterday
when you were still drinking from your milk bottle
but look at you now, walking on your own to school.
Mummy’s so very proud of you.”
For this layout, I used mainly stuff from Red Velvet’s June Kit. And a few miscellaneous stickers and rub-ons.
I’ve been asked by a few scrapping friends if I know of any sites that give out challenges or prompts for scrapping… so I decided to compile the list I have. It’s on the sidebar to the left. If you know of any more scrapbooking challenge blogs or websites, please let a comment and I’ll add it in. Have fun scrapping!!
The most demanding work day of my life.
I had many days in my work life where I just want to call it quits but none can match yesterday. First, I had to reach work at seven which isn’t that bad. Then we hopped onto a bus and endured 2 1/2 hours of peak hour traffic to arrive at Luzern. I was informed that it’s going to be just a hike, like a walk in the park. Having served my basic military training and gone through the 24 km road march with full SBO and helmet, I thought that it is going to be easy. But five minutes into the hike, I was huffing and puffing and already thinking of just waiting in the car. Anyway, I don’t know how I made it but I did it. 2132 metres, 7000 ft above sea level - to the top of Mount Pilatus.
Hmmm… looks easy so far right???
WRONG… that was what WE THOUGHT!!!
By this time, we were just GLAD to make it!!
More pictures here.
p/s: Joey, Brenda and Terence, you better start getting into shape because we are going “hiking” when you come.
