AJ Week 33 : Quotes for myself in year 2012

mini book for month 12

This year Christmas is not the same as last year. 

I quit from my previous company and join the current one.

All happen in this 2 months.

This month is tough for me as i need to pick up at least some knowledge to equip for next new year. 

However, I'm feeling grateful and enjoy the learning process and also been surrounded by good & nice people.

 

Cheers for the new year ...soon  

Merry Christmas

 

May you have the gladness of Christmas which is hope ;

The spirit of Christmas which is peace ;

The heart of Christmas which is love.

mini book for Nov'11

This month , November is the month 12 of the mini book project.

I was inspired by Leah Piken Kolidas in her Creative Everyday. Instead of doing art everyday which a bit pressure for me. So, I started the project as a challenge for myself to create art + journaling every month.
