Dawter T is on Pagemaps!

I am very excited to tell you that "the Becky Fleck" has given Mareng M and myself the chance to be Friends of Pagemaps this August. Being on Pagemaps is really a dream come true, I've followed Pagemaps (month after month) eversince I came to know about the site.

The sketch that Becky sent was a challenge for me. And, it took 3 paper combinations before I finally found the look that I wanted. Talk about pressure. Hehehe. But, it is a great feeling! Thank you very much, Becky! I really appreciate this opportunity!

This picture of Dawter T was taken last January 2007 at Sentosa. I used Bazzil Basics cardstock, Heidi Grace patterned papers, Adornit stickers, MM ribbon label and Prima Flowers.

Thank you for sharing in my joy!

Journal :

When you were just 3 days old, we found out that your jaundice level was very high. We wouldn't be able to bring you home because you need to undergo phototherapy. Though mommy was discharged, we opted to stay because we don't want to leave you.

However, after 2 more days in the hospital, the level was still high and the bills were piling up. Daddy and Mommy decided to go home first.

The next few days, daddy visited you at the hospital, he brought the milk that mommy pumped. Also during those times, we wait in hope that the doctor will call to tell us that we can bring you home.

Exactly a week after after you were born, the call came!

We rushed to the hospital. Daddy settled the bill and mommy hovered at the nursery while the prepared you. When at last everything was ok and ready, the nurse accompanied us. And while at the lift, you gave us your very first smile --- a reward for waiting to bring you home!
