Life is Beautiful

Sue's parents celebrated their 35th Wedding Anniversary on 27 September 2009. It was truly a joyous occasion and we celebrated the event at a lovely beach resort, even as the couple affirmed their love for each other and prayed together with us. Sue created this card to commemorate this special day and the golden colours narrate a story of a glowing love - one that has withstood the test of time.

We are so blessed by you

For Sue's mother's 61st Birthday, she assembled a lovely board book with vibrant colours to express how much she had been blessed. The pages tell the story of the different roles played by Sue's mother, and how she has been a blessing in each one of them.

Scrapbooking with Justin

In June this year, we were approached by a friend of one of our youths, to help him create an album for the "love of his life". Justin came to our home one weekday evening. And he won us over with his love for Elsia and his determination to create a "perfect" birthday album for her.

Over the next few weeks, we assisted Justin with his album, and we were swept away by his attention to details and his enthusiasm for scrapbooking.

Finally, the album was completed, and Justin was able to present it to his sweetheart Elsia, whom we heard, loved the album fondly. Almost a fairytale come true.

2009 - Snapshots of Life

We were inspired by Creating Keepsakes magazine to embark on a special project featuring one photo a day. Although this involves a significant amount of determination, it was something that we wanted to do to capture the day-to-day moments of 2009.

Our "Snapshots of Life" album was thus born.

This layout captures the first day of the New Year - and we celebrated it with a bang in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

Nine months have passed since we began the project. And while we have not kept to the schedule of taking one photo every single day, we have still managed to capture many special moments.

This post celebrates some of these special moments. For it is in the ordinary that we sometimes find the extraordinary!
