Kimi and His Rabbit

Ah, little children and their pets.
There is a special connection between them.

I can tell how much my baby Kimi loves his rabbit by watching the way he treat him/her (we still don't know if the rabbit is male or female).

Pic above tells the story of first day this little bunny came to our house. We got it from a good friend of mine, Ratna (and her dear kids), who were willingly to give it to us to keep. One day, this little furry thing hopped in out of nowhere, sneaked into their house and became uninvited guest pet. Seemed that it lost its way home. They waited for a few days, presumed that this bunny could be someone's lost pet. But nobody showed up to make a claim on this cutie animal. Now that their front yard is all concrete, they thought this bunny would be better in a house with garden just like ours (it is a small garden actually). I thought it would be a great pet for my kids. So, we welcomed it to our house.
 

Kimi was still a crawling baby. Look how small the bunny was. He has loved it from the first time they met. Very sweet.

What so cute about it is, Kimi was born on a Chinese New Year 2011 which was year of rabbit. Now, I call it coincidence,  since I'm not a follower of Chinese tradition or its belief system. It's just a knowledge and I think it's still a cute thing to know tho.

Kimi takes the responsibility to feed his pet voluntary. Whenever I have spare veggies and handed it to him, "Go feed your bunny/rabbit.." he will walk away from me in a rush heading to our front yard, where this rabbit is (we named it Peston -- short for Peter Washington), calling its name, "Pitcchiii... pitchii." I guessed Pitchi is his baby version of  'kelinci', Indonesian word for rabbit.

This bunny now turned into a big and fat rabbit. And Kimi now is a busy playful toddler. Still, he loves it with all his heart. Can you see it?

I made a page based on my feeling about them. The two of them are cute. Aren't they? Of course they are!!! ;)

Last thing I wanna tell you, this layout was picked (again) to be a gem on Scrapbook Challenge's Gallery Gems, follow the link to read it.

I am a Gem!

Just realized that I was picked as one of weekly Scrapbook Challenge's Gem in May . So, now I have the privilege to wear the badge. :) And suddenly I feel the urge to show it off!!! :) Ah, the narcissistic side of me needs to be fed with care. :p LOL!

It was my lemony page that they picked to be one of the gems. A page of my baby trying to catch a beetle bug, using Lemon kit from eqrAveziur. It's kinda surprise for me, I don't think it's a cool LO, but I guess the picture that won their heart.

Off To The Beach

The layout above is my interpretation for this sketch:

For the pinwheel, I tried to give it a more realistic look, by doing some shading work. Hope it works.

Scrapbook Challenges January Bloghop

My first blog hop ever.
Even better, this hop is called Seasons of Change. :) Yup, this is also a season of change for me, as I challenge myself to broaden my knowledge and to improve my skills in every thing I love, e.g: cooking, digiscrapping, photo editing, etc. And, I really thankful for the chance I got as I join Scrapbook Challenges' Design Team for the first term in 2012. Yay!

My name is Devi, this is my first term with Scrapbook Challenges. I live in Indonesia with hubby and three wonderful children, 7yo, 3yo and 11mo.

Now, onto the sketch. Brynn has created a one page sketch to work with:

And here's my layout using this sketch:

This little girl, Flicka, is my friend Isma's firstborn daughter. She amazed everyone when she without any fear threw herself into all the outdoor activities with our homeschool community. We could see how this 4 yo little girl loved and enjoyed it.

Channel also provided double-page version, if you are interested.
