digital scrapbook
Well it’s back home and back to school for me. Seattle seems like a long time ago. I started missing it the moment I woke up in the middle of the night on Saturday to get a glass of water from downstairs. No longer did I have to endure the chills from cold midnight air.
With the ease of storing thousands of digital images in one’s computer, it seems that scrapbooking is a rare art that only those with time (and money) have the luxury to enjoy. I love going into art and craft stores and admiring the plethora of scrapbooking materials on display. Beautifully textured and colored paper is a weakness of mine, but most of them are so expensive I often leave wistfully and push aside thoughts of creating a scrapbook for the future. While I enjoy the convenience of storing, editing and saving hundreds of photos at a go, it seems like I forget about them all the more quickly as opposed to physically having them in an album to flip through and admire. I’m pretty determined to not succumb to any form of digital scrapbooking for this Seattle trip though, because it was a vacation filled with too many wonderful moments to go unappreciated and forgotten. Silly antics from my little cousins, the delicious aroma of decadent sugary cookies baking in the oven, wide expanses of snow and slush, skies that darkened at 5 in the evening, Christmas music to warm the heart all day…
One of my favorite buys from this trip would have to be this blue woollen cape from F21 that kept me warm even in bed at night.
I miss the cold, the view, the warm fuzzies from spending time with wonderful people i love.
What were your favorite moments over this holiday season?
cape: f21
skirt: american apparel
shirt: loveculture
boots: shop in HK
oh I love your cape, it’s very cute. My fav holiday season moment was the whole eating ceremony with my entire family and later New Years Eve with the bf.
So nice cape, this blue is lovely ! I enjoyed the first set of pictures, really gives the impression you had a nice time there, what is that on the first plate ? Looks so yummylicious..Fav holiday moment was celebrating the New Year with a ballet at the opera..
to Fruchtzwerg: That sounds really sweet! What’s xmas or any other holiday without yummy food…
to ambroisine: haha it’s actually corn flakes in melted marshmallow shaped to look like xmas wreaths! =) I didn’t actually make them. We went to my aunt’s friend’s house and she’d made them with her son. The green food coloring’s rather ingenious eh? Though a little toxic looking X)
Sounds like an amazing time. My favorite moments are just being the company of my loved ones… couldn’t ask for a better holiday. xx
You look amazing, as always. And caplet is wonderful…

The cape is so great!
And the photos are just lovely!
what a beautiful nostalgic post! i love capes, and this one looks so warm and stylish. I recently got one too, grey and a bit shorter. liked it so much, i dedicated two posts to it;) hope u enjoy it and post more nice pics soon.
That skirt looks really comfy!
I don’t know what my favorite holiday moment was… My holiday was kind of wierd, my first Christmas spent without my family. Growing up is crazy!
You wear that cape so well.
I used to scrapbook back in high school, but I find that the biggest luxury involved in scrapbooking isn’t buying fancy papers, it’s time. It takes a lot of time to arrange one-of-a-kind mementoes, write captions, and decorate a single page.
That cape is quite a find – and looks just perfect with those little scrunched booties.
Oooooooh s’mores!
Love your capelet!

you are so right, it is often so easy to be harsh on ourselves especially in hindsight, but tomorrow truly is a new day and a new opportunity for better things
