End of February 2007
It was a very windy day and I never bothered to close the sliding door. After few hours upstairs chatting with a friend while responding to clients’ emails, I went down and noticed everything thin and light has been splattered everywhere on the floor…huhuhu..the attack of February wind…
And then I noticed my decoupage napkin was missing..huhuhu…the bright red piece of such fragile paper was no longer on the ceramic plate…I looked around for it for days now, I have no idea where else the wind might blow it away. I looked under the sofa, nowhere to be seen. I lost my napkin…huhuhu..luckily the remnant pieces of the leaves and buds are still around. At least I still have something to do decoupage with.
Well, it’s almost the end of February. I like when time passed by quickly though in 2 months time I’m going to be a year older..huhuhu..It’s the end of youthful life, I’m becoming aging adult soon…waaaaaaaaaaaaaa 
I hope I’ll be able to lead better life this year. Happy Wednesday, people! I like Wednesday because I can watch CSI..hehehe..

Decoupage IV
For those who would like to know what is the basic materials used in decoupage, this picture shows the basic items.
What is important is to have white gesso or the primer, any acrylic paint if you like to have some colors for touching up the background of the can, tin, plate or wood - the surface you would like to do the decoupage on, the sealer to stick the napkin on the surface and lastly the varnish.
Of course you will need sponge to dab the surface with the white gesso and few types of normal art brushes to use with the sealer and varnish. In order to dry your decoupaged material faster, a normal hair dryer will be a great help.

Decoupage III
Since I only bought one piece of napkin with one kind of design, I have no choice but to make full use of it. I should have bought another 2 or 3 napkins with different designs. NVM, I will buy some more later as long my interest is still strong in these decoupage crafts..hehehe..I have collected about 10 empty tins and bottles, the only missing materials are the napkins and acrylic paints. Now I have to find ways to either hang my decorated plate or buy the holder for the plate. Another mission to do..hehehe..
