Reflections and a Contest
This is the main reason why I made "Reflections." I haven't scrapped for a long time and the layouts I want to make are piling up. Hopefully soon (which I keep on telling myself), I can go back to my old routine and scrap at least 3 times a week.
And without further ado, here is my new kit.
To have a little fun, Im having a contest! Just answer the question "What have you reflected lately?" Post it in the comments section and I'll pick one winner to receive my brand new kit. This contest will end on July 13. I'm looking forward to read your reflections!
If you can't wait anymore and want to grab this kit, you can get it at Oscraps. But, wait! Are you a Fei-fei's Stuff Mailing List Subscriber? If not yet then just click here and you'll get my new release 30% off!
:::::::::::::::
And some updates about me... My pregnancy is going well. I feel the baby already. I still don't know the sex yet. My check up will be at the end of July and I think by that time we will know if it is a girl or a boy. Cross fingers!!! Don't forget to come back to my blog because there would be another contest!
Last before I go, I just want to thank you all for dropping by and saying Hi and wishing me well. I appreciate everything!!! You've been very wonderful to me and I hope you'll still continue to stop by. I'm doing my best to be more active in the scrapping community. Take care and I'll chat with you soon!!!
To close this post, I'll leave with you some inspiration from my wonderful CT

gorgeous kit there, Shaui! Glad to hear that your pregnancy is going well! :) I love doing what you do... write about memories! I used to do that before I married, but afterward, it seems like time just swallowed up!
Lately I have been reflecting about my marriage. Last Thursday we had our second anniversary, yes it's a very young marriage, but I am so grateful of all the things happened between us. How my husband and I bond together, how I understand him without him telling me what or how... It's so incredible this marriage is! So, I am looking forward to living each day with him by my side always. :)
That was my reflection! Thanks for the chance of winning your new gorgeous kit!
Ahhh looks great!!
I hear you about the pregnancy, the sex etc. I have an ultrasound next week (I am 20 weeks tomorrow), and we'll know the sex then. I'm so excited!!
Ok, reflections... This pregnancy is really making me clean, a thing I normally HATE. So today I opened a closet that was closed for a VERY long time, and I found my old journals. I read parts of it and reflected on my teenage years, and how I felt back then. I read a particular page, I was 18 when I wrote it, that said I felt happy at that time. It made me feel good about the life I (we) live now!
Beautiful kit, Sharon...
I've been reflecting on getting old--just had a birthday that brings me that much closer to 50. How did that happen!!? I like who I am, and what I'm doing, a lot more than I did when I was younger, but my physical envelope was clearly better back then... ;)
What a beautiful story!
My husband and I are unable to have children and in a few days it will be my oldest daughter's 4th birthday. I have been reflecting on the past 4 years, her adoption, and birthmother. I am so thankful for her and her sacrifice, that when I look back and the last 4 wonderful years I know I am truly blessed with a beautiful daughter who is smart, funny, and strong willed just like my husband!
i've been reflecting on the value of certain friendships and what is worth investing in others. we all have a variety of friendships - some good, some bad, some we overly invest in, some we have been burned in...
Thank you so much, Shaui, for this opportunity. Your new kit is gorgeous.
Lately I have been reflecting on my own life and what I have done, more I should be doing, and where I want to go. Trying to figure out what will make me happier, cause I just haven't been the last year. I have been reflecting on what a great life I seem to have, good home, healthy happy kids, but something is missing and I am still not sure what it is.
So anyhow, that is my sad refection story.
Again, thank you, and the best to you and your growing family.
Lately I have been reflecting at how much stuff we have. I feel so wasteful walking around my house and seeing all this crazy stuff we have and don't use. It makes me crazy and it is time to get rid of as much of it as possible!!!
hiya shaui
so glad to hear that your pregnancy is going well, and that you're feeling good!
luv the new reflections kit, and it makes me think about my scrapping style, after having just recently read the article in Simple Scrapper about the 4 different scrapping styles: fresh/artsy, minimal/distressed, storybook/fantasy, and traditional/paper cuz it seems i flip flop alot between all three except storybook/fantasy lol
wishing you continued good health!
thanks for the opportunity!
Wow, once again you have created a beautiful must have kit.
Lately I have been reflecting on life and the growing older. I am only 37 but having a child makes you realize how fast time flies. I would love to be 27 again! But since that is not going to happen, I just need to enjoy each day to its fullest!
I;m reflecting about the changes in the house with our first baby , and to be a mom sometimes can be overwhelming .
I am so pleased to hear the pregnancy is going well.
I recently hit one of the big milestone birthdays and am reflecting on how I can move forward and discard the lost dreams of the last decade.
Gorgeous kit! I have reflected on what I still want to do this summer before returning work as a new school year starts. I always have such huge ambitions when the break starts, but run out of time.
I have also reflected a lot about going back to school to get my administration degree. Do I have what it takes to be a principal? Would it be something I like? Or take me away from my kids to much?
That is fantastic news about your pregnancy going so well, congratulations :).
It seems in recent times I am surrounded by beautiful pregnant women, both in my day to day life and in my online world, this has been quite hard to deal with on a personal level because I am 39 next month and still without bubba. I have been reflecting on my babies, my angel babies that I have lost over the past 2 years and in finding inspiration through all you wonderful women to try again, perhaps later this year or 2010 will bring me a little bundle of joy...FINGERS ARE CROSSED...tee hee!
I'm glad to hear you're doing well! It's so fun to find out the sex! I hope you'll be able to see! :) And the kit is beautiful! I love the papers especially!!
I've been reflecting about spending quality time with my girls this summer... Sometimes we get overwhelmed and grumpy with all the running around to different classes or sports... So, this summer I cut everything out completely and just focused on doing fun family things together... Now, it's Kylie's birthday, and I'm realizing that I stress myself out with too many parties and things to do... maybe I need to cut back and just enjoy the day instead of being grumpy because there's so much to do...
Thanks for the opportunity to share what's on our mind and for the chance to win the kit! :)
A lot of sad things have happened in my life lately - a friend dying, illness, and a family member being arrested. So I find it so important to reflect on the little happy things. To remember and be grateful that my children are healthy, that I have a good marriage, and that time heals all wounds.
Glad to hear the pregnancy is getting a little easier! And what a beautiful kit - hope I win :-)
Great to hear that your pregnancy is going well! Actually pregnancy is what I have been reflecting on pregnancy. And how blessed I am to have the twins but how hard it will be for me to ever get pregnant again. As much as I would love to have another baby I am so thankful for all I have right now. Thanks so much for the chance Shaui!
Gorgeous kit, Shaui!!
I've been reflecting on myself, my faith, how much I care for my loved ones. The changes I need to make to become a better person. Also, how grateful I am to God for all that he has blessed me with.
Thank you for a chance to win!

We're in the processing of moving to a new town and I'm reflecting on the change that's going to bring to my family and I.
Thankyou for the chance to win such a beautiful kit.
Love the kit! My baby just turned two months old, so I've been reflecting on the past two months and how much she has changed and I have changed.
I reflect on my day at work and how I might have made a difference in one of my patient's surgical experience...what I did well and what I might have done differently. I reflect on friendships and relationships. As I age, these things become more important.
I had some old VHS tapes converted to DVD. Last evening I was watching my not quite 1 year old son when he was learning to walk, wave and laugh, and I reflected on this by gone era. Three weeks ago I attended his college graduation. Oh my!
Love your reflections kit Shaui.
I've been reflecting on my marriage. I've been going through an unhappy stage lately. And it is just a stage, because I'm determined to make it better. With God's help that is. I've been praying for Him to help me find happiness again. God will provide!
Thanks!
What a beautiful kit.
I was sitting yesterday and thinking about how well our son is doing and that for first time parents we are really doing a great job. It made me feel really good about my self as a mother. I hope we can keep up the good work we are doing now.
Good luck with your pregnancy, I do envy you, I just loved being pregnant
Sus
The kit is just gorgeous!! Can't wait to scrap with it ;) Glad you are doing well!!
I've made a major work related decision a couple of days ago and I've been reflecting about what I want from and for my life, what makes me happy and what makes our little family of two happy and strong for months now.
Hugs.
I've been reflecting about my oldest son. You see, he heads off to high school July 27, but I can still remember the moment he was born like it was yesterday. How can 14 years have passed already? I really only have a short time left with him here at home and it makes me sad to think about it :(
Congrats to you on your new baby - children are such a blessing.

Gorgeous new kit, Shaui!Love a chance to win it!
It usually takes me a long time to fall asleep at night, and I usually evaluate my day. It's mostly about the things I DID or DID NOT accomplish during the day. I've been reading a lot about Mindfulness lately. I think it means living consciously, in the moment. Sounds a lot like what you're talking about!
Hi Shaui! I love your work, your kits -- they are absolutely gorgeous. :)
I've made a photobook for my little goddaughter, so I reflected my feelings for her. I collected lovely quotes and all my thoughts to express all my love :)
thanks for the chance to win your wonderful new kit :-)
I'm 21 week pregnant :-) it's our 3rd baby, we already have 2 girls and lately I've been reflecting about our life and how happily blessed I'm ! I can't wait to experience my new life and wish to be as blessed for a long time !
My second marriage with my husband Hans, he has MS. But I'm much happier than ever before. I'm sorry for my English, greetz from Holland :)
I have reflected my role as wive and mother. Am I happy with it? What do I miss? It was good to reflect, gave me some ideas what to do next.
I've just recently found your site and Love, Love, Love it! Such beautiful papers and layouts and ever so peaceful.
Great question "What have you reflected lately?" I am a single mama and absolutely adore my children (ages 14, 16, 17 and 23). I have reflected on all of my regrets. That isn't a negative thing but really something that has empowered me. I regret not having more time with them (bc I was a full time college student and worked), I regret not taking time to slow down and enjoy every moment (lots of stress). However, now that they are teens, we enjoy more activities together and since they will all be leaving for college sooner than I know, I want to go back and recreate some of those lost times.

Reflections, oh what wonderful things our minds can do. I am here visiting my sons home celebrating my grand-daughters 4th birthday. My thoughts are of her birth and the love and excitement we felt watching her birth. I look forward to repeating these reflections each year as we watch her grow into a beautiful young lady.
Beautiful kit and congratulations on your pregnancy:)
Reflections.. I had a loss recently and it has made me reflect on what the really precious things in life are.. It's only the people in our lives. I thought I already knew that, but still stressed and worried over little things. They don't matter now.. I don't give them a thought beyond laughing at how I used to care about them. The people in our lives, love them and tell them so .
Ohhh beautiful kit!!! Thanks for the opportunity!!!
I've been reflecting about my marriage... about love... yesterday we celebrated our 16th anniversary... my conclusion is that I'm blessed... trully blessed... I married my soulmate... we are happy together and I'm counting my blessings...
Congrats on your pregnancy, Shaui!
I have been contemplating how I am the gatekeeper of my family - if I am healthy and well-adjusted, so is the rest of my family. I've stopped exercising and have adopted poor sleeping habits to start a new business, and I see that my family has been suffering. Living purposefully is a mindful act that I have control over.
Congrats on your pregnancy!!! How exciting to find out what this one will be!!! Sending lots of good thoughts, prayers and jibes your way!!!
Love this kit, it is beautiful with some really cool elements to use.
Well, to reflect on my life at this time, would mean thinking about my almost 50 years, wow 1/2 century old. I have alot of good times, alot of joy, alot to be proud of too!!! In those 50 years, I would also have alot of bad times, alot to be sad about and alot be embarrassed by!!! But today I would reflect on the things that are good...I have a man that loves me, cares for me and nutures me. I have two grown sons that make my heart sing with joy for the wonderful men they have grown into, the wonderful choices they have made with their lives, the beautiful DIH's (Daughter In Heart's, hate the word in law) they have given me, and my two beautiful DGD given to me by my oldest son!!! These things also make me sooo proud, proud to call these wonderful people "Family"!!!
Well, I could go on and on...cause 50 years is alot of time to cover, but I will leave you with this, enjoy your young family, rejoice with them in their accomplishments, and sit back and reveal in the fact that when your 1/2 century birthday comes along, you will be reflecting on your past 50 years and will have all the joy and pride that comes with all those 50 years...Cheers!!!
Lately I've been reflecting on my relationship with my soon to be 6 yr old son. He is changing and I am trying to figure out how best to handle his tantrums, moodiness, and bad attitude, lol...I always thought the girls were the ones that got bad attitudes, NOT!!
Congrats on your pregnancy!!! How exciting to see what your next little one will be!!! My thoughts, prayers and vibes will be with you!!!
So if I were to reflect on something right not it would be that I will soon be 50 years old...1/2 century, WOW, that is a long time!!!
In those 50 years I have alot of happy times, alot of joy, alot to be proud of. And also in those 50 years I also have had a lot of depressing times, alot of sadness, and alot to be embarrassed about!!!
but for now I will reflect on some of the good things in my life.
I know have a man who loves me, cares for me, and nutures me. I have two grown sons that bring me such joy and happiness by the wonderful men they have grown into, with the choices they have made as they have grown up, with the amazing DIH's (Daughter in Heart's, hate the word in law) they have chosen, and the two beautiful DGD's my oldest son has given me. When I reflect on these things I realize just what a blessed woman I really am!!! How much joy, pride and happiness I truly have in my life...How much I am happy I am to say..."This is my family"!!! Sure there are other things I can reflect on, after all 50 years is along time, and I could go on and on, but for now I will leave you with this. Enjoy this time with your young family, rejoice with their accomplishments, pray for their futures, and when your 1/2 of century birthday comes along, you can sit back and reflect on all the happiness, joy and pride that your family is to you!!! Cheers!!!
I'm really happy to have some news about you and to know that your pregnancy is going well! :) This new kit of you is just great and I have to tell you that, even if you're not as active about scrap as you'd wish, you surely keep all your creativity and talent!
What I've been reflecting lately? Wow! Exactly about what you're living right now. We are thinking about having a second baby and I can't stop thinking about the meaning of this happening on our lives! :)
Hugs and best wishes!!!
Your new kit is beautiful! I have reflected a lot on my daughter lately, as she will be turning two soon! It's amazing to me to watch her grow and develop!
beautiful new kit :)
i've reflected how lucky i am to have a happy and healthy family. i've reflected on how time flies so fast when you've grown up :D i can't believe how fast my niece and nephew are growing up! and how im gonna miss them once they go to singapore with their parents and my mom.
i've reflected how soon my husband (who's working in KSA right now) and I will see each other again after almost 4 years of being apart... i've reflected on the life i will have, with him, in a country where women are treated differently...im praying hard things will work out fine for us there.
thanks for the chance to this beautiful kit!
mabuhay! :)
donna e.
So glad to hear your pregnancy is going well, Shaui!! This kit is absolutely gorgeous!!!
Reflections...for me I have been reflecting on how quickly time passes, how quickly my kids are growing up. I've been realizing I really need to slow down & enjoy life more, cut myself some slack & not be my own worst critic...life is just too short for that & in the end it is our family that matters most.
Take care :)
Lisa
What I have reflected on lately is the work / mommy balance. How can I be a better mom and be there for my child even though I spend more time at work than with my child.
