5 Months....

Wow....I just sat here and it dawned upon me that The Scrapbook Carton has been around for 5 months. Although the store didn't grow physically like many other but in the short 5 months, The Scrapbook Carton has changed the lives of the people who makes it running day to day.

It has been a tremendous trip....the changes we have to make day to day...the wedding we went through in the midst of running this outfit and I guess the sacrifices we make..

It never has been possible for The Scrapbook Carton to change the life of our supporters as much as it has changed ours....but I hope the supplies that we have been pushing out have..From the memories it helps you all create.

That's why I am so persistent on pushing out the plans for The Scrapbook Carton....We will keep doing our best to keep what needs to be low and increase the selection as we go by.

Thank you all for giving me and my team this 5 months to serve you all and we wish to keep this going on for all your memories....

P/S: Sorry if i've been quite sentimental in this entry...I was listening to "Flightless Bird, American Mouth by Iron & Wine"(all you Twilight fans will know what I'm talking about...listen to it..it's nice)

"Go Floral with your moments" Challenge by Yin Wen

With any celebrated moments in our lives, flowers never fail to be part of them. With so much choices of floral patterned paper & embellishments as we scrap, it’s never difficult creating a flowery LO for your that very special moment. So come join me in my challenge as I celebrate the love of 2 people in this challenge with flowers.

Guidelines:

• 1. Work on a 12”x12” cardstock as your layout background
• 2. Record a moment through your LO (it can be anything about your family, a special day, or that of your dear friends)
• 3. It’s a must to have flowers on your LO (your choice of using anything floral from patterned paper, to handmade blooms, to die cut flowers just as long as we see FLOWERS!!!)

Time Flies.....

Time flies.......guess alot of you hear this pretty often and agree with it....it's been very very long since I have blogged on the Carton blog and many of you must be wondering why this big disappearance.

Well....let's just say someone just had a very big rite of passage and we were clamoring to get back on track after this big break...it wasn't easy but we really thank everyone for understanding and showing the continued support.

With the rate everything has been going on,it makes me think that I've been bashing through life......4 months of The Scrapbook Carton...Weddings... It's really great that I've done much all these months but thinking back I feel alittle regret that I didn't take time to enjoy all that 4 months of my life. I really enjoying taking this little breather now writing this post and reflecting.

I think many of us are just bashing through life and it's totally unavoidable in a fast paced society and I guess scrapbooking is an avenue for all scrappers to slow down and capture all that special moment.

Sad to say....I'm no scrapbooker(I admire you guys but I'm really terrible with the scissors)...but I guess for me, I resort to photography....To me my camera is my time machine to the past and brings me joy when I look at the photos that I have taken. It's transports me back to that special place in time....

Where we remember the sobs the little ones have....

Or the moment of unity.....

Or even that moment which seems meaningless to everyone.....

Do take some time and enjoy life.....we may be busy now..but we do have still enjoy whatever we do.
