{Is It Coming To An End Soon?}

I'm exhausted. We're exhausted.

Too much going on at the same time. Preparing for our annual graduation, a 500 table fund raising dinner, an evening meeting, a 3-day seminar and preparing for the launch of a new programme.

On top of all that, the office is in a mess. We just moved in to our new unit, we have boxes everywhere. We are half packed because part of the cabinets were just installed over the last two days. The smell of the silcon was choking. The noise from the drill, vacuum cleaner and hammer were all going on at the same time on Wednesday morning, in the very same small office that we're in. Ouch. Headache.

In the midst of the noise, the mess, work runs at full speed. Meetings after meetings, in the office and outside the office. Schedules to plan, events to prepare, letters to write, programmes to arrange, publicity materials to work on, hotel reservations, calls that are absolutely frustrating, endless emails to reply etc etc etc... Everything is urgent. Everything needs to be done now. Everything is a red light flashing.

Don't people usually stop for a few days to pack and get the office back in shape before work continues. How can we function at full speed as if we've never moved? It's so frustrating working like that.

Everyone stationed in the office is exhausted and not in the best of moods. 3 ladies to pack, move and unpack an entire office. It almost sounds ridiculous. Everyone's a lil touchy, a lil sensitive, a lil frustrated.

The good thing is, at the end of each day, we end with a smile, we laugh it off and everyone's united to get things moving once again.

Thank God for T who came in last week to help with the move. The only guy who came to help us, 3 ladies.Thank God for P. She is practically the only person packing the remaining half of the office while S and I run around like headless chickens to attend to everything else.

We need more hands, less mouth. Talk is cheap.

{For Him}

Kept it simple and fuss-free. Just the way he likes it.

{For Her}

More details. A lil more complicated.

{SALE}

The office packing has officially begun. We need to move everything by Wed. This afternoon I sent out an email notice as well as inserted a simple leaflet under the doors of our neighbours, informing them of the office furniture sale.

Before we started this, we were all wondering if anybody would respond at all.

Oh ye of little faith!

In about 4 hours, more than 70% of the items were sold, including our most expensive items. Wow! I've never sold so many items in 4 hours before!

They are really cheap and in good condition too.

Just a few more to go for 100% sold out!

{Learn Something New Each Day!}

S made a call to one of the hotels in China to make a room reservation. The conversation went on well in Mandarin until we had to spell the email addresses in English.

After a few tries, the lady on the line still could not figure out the English alphabets unti S came up with an ingenious line:

S: "D" for dalian, "M" for ma ma...

{Good Morning!}

M's usually not involved in my scrapbooking activities other than patiently wait for me while I do my scrap shopping. Today, I was pleasantly surprised by his ingenious input.

Did a really simple piece but something just didn't look quite right. He casually walked by and said, why don't you add some sand with the glitter. AH HA! I forgot all about the glitter. He remembers what I bought! So glitter was added... I love it!

Since I've already created such a mess around me I thought I might as well do more of the glitter. And so I added more around the edge of the card stock.

And he casually walked by again and said, how about the sea shells that you got some time ago.... AH HA! I've got seashells. And yes, I've also wiped them out of my memory completly. So seashells were added...

Here's the completed piece. Ah, my first piece that I "feel" was done by the both of us. Even if it's just two statements from him :)

{My Workspace}

Open the work desk.

Paper selection from cabinet above.

Stickers and Alpha selection from green folders.

Add the embelishments, flowers, buttons, sparkles, brads...

These are essentials that are all within reach.

More essentials with containers of chipboards, yarns and more stickers.

Work-in-progress.

I'm done. Now you see it. Now you don't.
