Rant and Rave

Rave:
1. I won in Scrapbook-Exchange's RAK#5. Prize sposored by Nette of My Little Attic. Yay!
2. I was able to finish 3 LOs this week. Talk about being productive. lolz! All the 3 LOs are my entries to this month's challenge from Lasting Impression and Scrappin' Moms.

Rant:
1. Of all the days, this is the worst when it comes to my internet connection. Uploading a file that is less than 300kb took ages!
2. I wasn't able to make the deadline for the challenges due to Rant#1. =(

Oh well, s**t happens... I might as well share them haha!

Dear Cley and Yang,

When you both have grown into beautiful ladies, remember the moments…
- when the first thing you do in the morning is visit each other and play with your dolls
- when you’re both having fun you even forget mealtime or bathtime..lolz
- when another kid bullies one of you, the other one will always be there to defend you.

And though time may come when both of you go on separate paths, remember that you will always be best of friends.
Love always,
Tita Gaye

Hush little baby; mama's near,
To brush your hair and calm your fears.
To kiss your cheek and hold your hand,
'Til you drift off to sleepyland.
To help you count those little white sheeps,
And sing you songs 'til you're asleep.
To tell you tales of kings and queens,
of Jack and Jill and wonderful things.
So snuggle up and hold me tight,
And dream sweet dreams all through the night.
And every night when the sun goes down,
You'll still be the sweetest little baby in town.

Dearest Sofie,

Singing a lullaby for you is a gift. We thank God for giving us this opportunity, for the joy of watching you while you’re sleeping. Remember that Daddy and Mommy will always be here by your side.

And when you find it difficult to fall asleep, know that we’ll never get tired of singing a lullaby for you.

Love,
Mommy and Daddy
