    Emila, … you are forever so efficient… I took a long time to do my post but you are always super fast 🙂
    Your mum is really great to ‘create’ a talented gal. I think the beach she taught you could be your first venture into the art you so beautifully illustrated.

    Do you still keep the copy of the beach? 🙂

    Thanks for sharing some details about your great mummy 😀

    Emila, I’m here again…
    I came to take a look at Emila’s Mummy again.
    Over the years… I think she still got the same look hor. Din change much. Yassin’s BIG ROUND eyes kinda resemble yours. Really cute boy 🙂
