Ginger Scraps : Life Captured : August by Pixelily Design (31 August)
I've been procrastinating on making this page of Acha reciting Quran. By the time I finally set my heart to make a page with this kit, she's already forgotten it! It's lucky that I managed to record her months ago, so at least I can listen to her again. Adin helped me with the source since Acha didn't know which part of the Quran she has read. My son is a genius... he googled it and he found it :). Yaaay... Thanks Mas Adin!

During the fasting month, around July - August, we just renovated our home. I asked Teteh Lilis' father from Malangbong to help out. He is a builder. So, he helped painting the whole house including the fence and stairs, changed the leaking tiles in both upper bathrooms, repaired the leaking roof, put on new tiles in the kitchen and backyard and build mini garden!. Finally, 3 days before Idul Fitri the job was done :). And.... this is the new look also using a new template that will be released on 31 August by Blue Heart Scraps :

Ginger Scraps : Home Cookin' by Connie Prince
Aa Asep and Teteh Lilis has gone home to Garut this Saturday. I was busy finishing layouts before Idul Fitri arrived the next day when I heard the girls shouting from the kitchen. They were assisting their dad cooking the last fasting break meal which was Cheese Fried Rice and Noddle Scramble Egg. At the same time, I found the Home Cookin' kit by Connie Prince. Yaay, what a match made in heaven.... I always love Connie Prince's collection of Word Arts, especially this one... just perfect!
Sst, I'm not really into cooking in the real life. I prefer collecting cooking and baking theme kits. Can you believe that I've already collect 5 kits from different designers : Marie H Designs, Galerie de Jackie, Aprilisa Designs, Meta Wulandari Designs and Connie Prince. No sign of stopping yet even though I haven't use some of them in my layouts :)

Project 365 : Week 30 - July 2012
I tried scrapping my project 365 with templates from ZZS. Here is the result for the Week 30. This week, the kids continued their fasting journey amazingly. I think because they went to school until 2 o'clock and took a nap after that, they didn't really feel hungry, only thirsty. But they were very excited waiting fro fasting break time. Tajil had to be ready on the table! They loved eating coconut ice and papaya jelly ice. Yummy...
I also used Button and Tiles from Travel Notebook Collab - The Bundle by t for me designs and Val C. Designs and Papers from "Going Places" collab BUNDLE by Angelle and Erica Zwart Designs
