We've been able to talk about school (her as a teacher! crazy! and me as a student) and catch up on the general gossip and blessings going on in our lives some 8000+ miles apart! Thanks, Skype!

TITLE- Miserable
DESCRIPTION- This is not exactly a Halloween layout but I wanted to record my gal's first Halloween Party. We had just moved to Shanghai and she had just started school for 2 weeks before we were informed of a Halloween party for the kids and their parents. When I went to school to visit her, she was all miserable and missing home back in Singapore and she just sat by her grandparents' photos which were pasted in class. Even the trick or treating and all the goodies didn't entice her much.
SUPPLIES- Prima Felt Matties, Maya Road Microfelt Birds, Doodlebug Brads, Ribbon and Rhinstones from my own stash, Journalling Tag and Buttons from Scarlet Lime Kit, Paper from Rogue De Garence
JOURNALING- You had insisted on wearing The Little Mermaid's costume for your first Halloween Party cos she was your favourite cartoon character. When we got to school, you were all miserable and sad cos' you missed home so much. You looked so homesick as you sat by your grandparents' pictures pasted in class and refused to let anyone near them!
