Letter Surgery

I'm back! I have neglected this blog for a while, though I have been keeping up with my photo a day here.

Today, I did some surgery on my thicker letters. It's frustrating when I run short of some letters.  I know you can substitute 'z' for 's' and '3' for 'e', but I'm such a stickler for exactness.

Here's what I did to change '8' to 's' :

To make 'f' to 't' :

To make 'j' to 'r' and '5' to 's' :

To make 'd' to 'a' :

For 'e', turn a 'w' sideways and for 'y', turn an 'h' upside down.

One Photo A Day Jan

One photo for each day in the first four weeks in January 2010. Captions for each photos here. 

Some telemarketers are so ridiculous.  This one called me and asked if the stainless steel pot I bought is working well. I asked her who gave her my phone number and she said I bought it from her agent and the agent took down my number. After I told her my pot was bought many years ago,  she said she still has my records. When I told her this was impossible and she should just come upfront and tell me the purpose of her call, she laughed and asked what is impossible. When she refused to be honest, I told her that my telephone number is new, long after the said pot purchase. Then she started ridiculing me and saying "Aunty, this is the 21st century. Anything is possible". I told her I'm not continuing the conversation because she is obviously trying to lie her way out. Then she shot out "Aunty, there is something wrong with your brains."
Sigh.

You mean it's the middle of January already?
The first two weeks of 2010 just whizzed by. I had to adjust to a four-day work week, settle on a routine to tackle all my commitments and work out a schedule for the mornings and evenings for the new school year.

I did some assembly-line scrapping again. Here are some of the pages waiting for photos, title and journalling.

Out with 2009 and in with 2010!
Wishing everyone a wonderful and wonder-full year ahead!
