Monday Highlight 11/22

Published by Sula H.

Well, my blog is up and running since the beginning of this month, and as I’m still trying to get into a routine of posting certain topics on a weekly basis, let me introduce you to the newest feature – the Monday Highlight. Each Monday I will focus on one scrapbook product from my stash, point out some of its features and show you what I’ve done with it. So, for our very first ever “Monday Highlight” let’s take a look at … Wonderful by Melissa Bennett I fell in love with this kit as soon as I saw the new release in the store a couple of weeks ago at SSD. Maybe the no. 1 thing I love about “Wonderful”* is the color palette, ranging from light blues to different shades of gray with pops of soft pinks and reds  in there. Next, I totally fell for those paper rosettes, which have become very popular recently and make beautiful clusters on any layout, and I love the two doodled paper flowers just as much. …

November 15

Today is the day everyone has been waiting for: heater day! At last, the heat has been turned on in China. For those lucky enough to be connected to the public heating system, the freezing is finally over – or will be soon, once the radiators are actually warming up the buildings and rooms. For many ordinary Chinese, though, the long and dreadful winter is just beginning. Around here – even though it can get very cold in the winter – most households don’t have any kind of sufficient heating, which means bundling up as best as one can, going outside to have the exercise warm up the body, or simply just this: freezing! As for me, I’m glad it’s November 15! Heater day!

… I’m in the customer spotlight this month over at Zoe Pearn’s blog who designs scrapbook products for Sweetshoppe Designs. http://zoepearndesigns.com/blog/?p=998 They highlighted two of my layouts which recently both have been featured in the gallery standouts of myscrapbookart.com, and “Crocs” has also received some attention over at logyourmemory.com!

International Day

Published by Sula H.

It was the grand finale! International Day – the last day of Culture Week – was celebrated with a great show. Dances, acrobatic and athletic acts, songs – the festival of cultures in all its diversity. We had dancers from India, Kirgistan, America, China, of course, and other places of the world. Even the little kids of the foreign faculty performed a little dance and won the heart of the audience in an instance. I loved the skater’s act – which well represents the diversity of our school. The fire acrobat’s performance was quite a hot act, and maybe the most impressive part was the performance of what I’d call the “vase dancer.” Someone was balancing heavy china vases all over his body and we were catching our breaths, always fearing the vases might drop and shatter into thousands of pieces. But he finished his performance without any accident, leaving us quite stunned at his ability. Of course, being in China, Kong Fu has to be part of every good show, so we got to …
