Sharing A Smile, 18 June 2011

Alhamdulillah, the event was a blast! Thanks to the fab organisers;the children had sumptuous meals, got sweets and goodies and money packets, did sand art, got their faces painted, tumbled topsy turvy on the trampoline and the inflatable castles, were entertained by Chacha the Clown, mingled and sang with their favourite Rocker Amy Search who also distributed money packets to each child. Most importantly, the wonderful children from the various homes were showered with lots and lots of warm smiles, hugs and kisses, and they simply had awesome fun, that's what matters most :)

All Night Long!

The theme of the party was black, but Wanie wanted a dash of red and orange too...




I heard that Wanie had a fab time celebrating her birthday with her friends and colleagues, cool! I remember when I was 25... :)

This coming weekend I'll have 3 fab events to look forward to, and some more JulesFudgyliciousness to spread around. So, till then...XOXOX :)

Perfectly Crazy!

I SO love it when friends and patrons ask me to tailor something special and quirky for their loved ones. This one was specially made for the molto bella Heska, who always asks for nothing less than unique for her besties :)





When 2 friends fall in love and marry each other, it can be a bit crazy, coz you actually know maybe a little bit too much about each other! But, it can also get excitingly spicy, coz you know each other so well and need not have any inhibitions. Hence the chilli milk chocolate on the brownie and the sparkler candle arrows that shoot through it, to remind Ani & Loko how sweet, intriguing and hot everything is. Trust me on this, coz I married my best friend too :)

A New Reach To Jules

After much thought, I've decided that it was time to separate Jules business matters from Jules ramblings, mainly to provide a clearer and cleaner path to all valued family, friends and patrons of Jules.

Now all Jules products and services will categorically reside in Jules. All the story times on the other hand, will remain warmly in my blog, and I've decided to go back to JulesRules, how it first started.

While I continually strive to make everything better and more comfortable for everyone, I would like to thank all you kind Darlings for your undying support towards everything Jules.

Molto grande bacione...xoxox... :)

Work In Progress

I'm sitting here with Esfahan and Marrakesh; Esfahan is halfheartedly revising for his Matematik 1 & 2, Kajian Tempatan and Kesihatan, while Marrakesh is diligently doing his homework, writing, colouring and drawing the Wilayah Persekutuan flag. I am trying my best to get all my WIPs done, intermittently, coz most of the time I'm telling Esfahan to stay focused, helping Marrakesh with his flag and yelling at Damascus upstairs to keep the TV volume down.

Fortunately for my boys, my sister and her daughter are here too, so they (my boys) have a buffer...! Hehehe...

Anyway, my WIPs are journals and albums which I'm gleefully decorating with some fab decals, fancy paper, stickers, ribbons, etc. These journals can also be used as scrapbooks, where one can happily add photos and memorabilias later on.



I SO love all those wonderful, wonderful scrapbook materials that can be found in so many places these days. They are just to die for! I also love all the fun things I keep coming across at various hobby and art shops. So, I normally mix the materials I use, which means that while some of them may be acid and lignin free, others may be plain untreated materials.

It has been told that it is best to use acid and lignin free materials for scrapbooking as these materials are known to stand the test of time, ie. they don't turn yellow or become brittle. There is also another point of view where it is considered to be nice and romantic to have your memoirs and keepsakes take on a naturally rustic and antique appeal over time. Well, I guess it's all a matter of preference, and perhaps also one's budget, whether one chooses to go all the way acid and lignin free, or to have a little of both, ie. treated and untreated materials.

Generally, I use a mixture of both categories in my creations, mainly because I aim to satisfy different needs. Bottomline is, I do my best to meet all my clients' requests and specifications.

As for me personally, I have no qualms about using untreated materials. My old scrapbooks from Zainab School and KGV remain dear and precious to me; and as in all things precious, I kept them very, very carefully. So, although they have somewhat aged, they are still very much intact and the memories will always stay fresh in my mind and in my heart. As much as I appreciate modern technology and use them to continually enrich our lives, sometimes I just like to let things run their natural course... :)

Happily Belated :)

It's always better late than never, well almost always. And some things are deliberately postponed or deferred so they can be meaningfully enjoyed with greater ease and peace of mind.


For Sara's Prefects' Teacher's Day makan-makan... If I were a teacher, I'd so love to keep all the pretty dessert forks as bookmarks, or if I were marking a pupil's either very good or very bad homework ~ the whites for good, the reds for bad! Hehehe...



For the fab Mum who had to defer her own special day to make way for what's important for her children, always... :)


One day late, but still I follow...



And finally, my star album is complete! I was so overwhelmed with my own emotions after I looked upon the end result of what had been deferred for far too long. My 3 most precious treasures in the world, my very own bright stars, now shining upon me everytime I sit down to work, radiating love, warmth and joy all around our home. Alhamdulillah...














Some things are best kept for later... :)

Happy Days Are Here Again!

We shall start with teacher's day, the special day when we celebrate those fab individuals who guide us so caringly, without whom we would be lost; Happy Teacher's Day! Though I am late in saying this here, I had timely mentioned it on my Facebook status update. My boys went to school and piano class that Monday 16 May 2011, with big hearts, carrying "Love & Hope", specially for their beloved teachers. Both Esfahan and Damascus had made all the origami hearts and cranes all by themselves. While Esfahan's turned out perfectly well aligned and very colour coordinated, Damascus' displayed bumps, creases and assymetry with some interesting colour combinations; but he'd insisted on not getting any help from big bro or Mommy coz he wanted to give his teachers something that was his very own hard work and which came truly from his heart :)


Happy Teacher's Day!


...from love comes hope, and with hope we shall be able to move forward assuringly...
