Super Busy Weekend.. and a brown paper bag project.

This weekend was kinda super busy for me. Busy but fun.

Friday 011609, We had an online crop over at Scrappinkids. This online crop started with Wati's tutorial on Paperbag Minibook. This is so easy to do... you should try this. all you need to do is gat 5 paperbags and a few scrapping materials and you're good to go. Sharing my Brown Paer bag mini book... Since its going to be Valentines day in the next couple of days, ive decided to use some wedding pics on this project.

011709 saturday, I woke up very early because we need to go to harvey's school for the parent teacher meeting. Was a little nervous for this. Nervous to know how harvey is in school and Exam results as well as the report cards will be given today. And guess what... i was one proud mommy that day.. (will be posting a different blog post about this tomorrow). Then, had lunch and went to Harvey's doctor's appointment. We've spent quite sometime waiting for our turn to be called as there were so many patients that day. I guess a lot of kids here are catching colds because of the very cold weather. Then went home so that we can all have a nap.... and of course get online. Then, went out again in the evening to watch a movie. Harvey has been asking us for a movie date for a long time. and since he got very good grades earlier, henry and I gave in. We watched Bedtime Stories which we all did enjoyed! Had late Dinner then went home. Did a little scrapping while everyone was sleeping...

011809 Sunday. Went to church in the morning. Ate lunch at Amici's then went to get some groceries... Took care of the laundry (so tired because of this!!!) and cook dinner. Assist Harvey in his assignments and did a little chating and posting in the internet.

well thats basically my whole weekend.

Last January 9 to 12, Mystical had it's first online crop of the year!!! Each of the DT gave a challenge and the Online crop's theme is..... SUMMER!!! My challenge was to use water photos and any water element such as waves cut out, splatter, splash must be present on the page. Here was my sample for my challenge...title: Chillin' Out

Materials Used: Scenic route's graton pps, stickers and SR's grid pps. SR alphabet sticker; Color box-black; pebeo paintl Uniball signo black pen

I also made a layout for Sara's speed scrapping challenge.. the challenge was to make a layout based on this sketch...

Just a short update!!!

I will be drawing the winners of the RAKs tom. Will be posting the pics too!.. So sorry for the delay... We have been suspecting Harvey to have Sore Eyes since Saturday afternoon. I did not let him go to school earlier because of his eye condition and instead accompanied him to the doctor to have it checked. And it is Sore Eyes with Sore Throat!!! I was occupied the whole day taking care of him and administering eye drops ( which was very exhausting both for me and him because he hates it) and letting him take medicines, so I havent had the time to conduct the drawing of the RAK winners earlier.
Will do the drawing tomorrow, that will keep us busy (Harvey and Me) as he is still not allowed to go to school tom... and I just want to thank everyone who left wonderful comments on my post / blog!!! I really appreciate them all!!! Please come back tom for the winners!!! Thanks!!!

Once a year is a very special day..... and 2 RAKs

Harvey love singing this song (title above) to anyone whose having a birthday in our family. This is a birthday song from the Playhouse Disney Channel that he's so fond of. Actually he memorized the whole song already. And most probably, later, (its past midnight already here as I type this post) when I wake up, he would sing that song to me. (cant wait! he so cute singing that!)

Yup, I'm 31 today. cant believe it!!! i dont feel I'm 31 already... (kinda scared growing old hihihi). Just wanna share how thankful I am with everything thats happening to me... actually, nothing really fancy... Im just so happy with almost everything right now. The past year has also its highs and lows but im really glad to be able to overcome them. Im thankful for my family, friends (non-scrapping, scrapping friends - online too!!!), for all the wonderful opportunities that was given to me.

Birthday wish? Got a few of them... but of course the most important wish is for my family. I wish for good health and happy living. There is something major (cant tell yet - dont worry, its not bad hihi) happening to our family this coming year and I really hope all will work well for us...

Scrappingly speaking, I have been so blessed this year. I'm so fortunate to be included in a couple of teams that allows me to share the passion for this craft. Thanks so much!!! I will be forever grateful for the opportunities that was given to me. Im so happy to be able to gain friends who share the same passion. And to share my happiness, I will be having a RAK... My first ever RAK!!! I love reading comments on my posts... and thanks to everyone who always visits me here. All you need to do is comment on this Post. And I will be drawing 2 names ( one local and one international) and I will send a humble RAK to you(picture of the Rak will follow). Kindly indicate your location so that I will know which draw you will qualify. You will have until January 11 to leave your comment and I will be drawing 2 names on the 12th. Just my way of saying thank you for all the blog visitors I have been having.

Will be posting some of my new work soon...cant post them yet... please do watch put for them.

Just wanna share this photos that were taken a few days ago... my happiness... Hugs!!!

Welcome 2009!!!!

Wow!!! another year has passed... 2008 had brought me so much blessings... and I will always forever greatful to the Lord for them... I thank God for a wonderful family... my husband who is always there to support me in everyway he can. My son Harvey... he got good grades which I can brag about...(makes me more fulfilled and happy that I have made the right decision to be a stay at home mom). Gained a lot of friends because of scrapbooking (online friends too!) and of course a lot of my scrapbooking dreams were fullfilled this 2008. I just want to share my happines with everyone. My only disapointment (the only thing I can remember as of the moment hihihi), is failing to shed off some pounds. Yah, I failed in that area. But im still very hopeful that I can accomplish that this year. I'm looking forward to a wonderful 2009. No specific dreams or plans yet... I just want it to be a happy, worry free one. I would like to thank all those who have visited my blog for the past year. I hope all of you will always have the time to visit me here. I love visitors and your comments to all my post and work always makes my day. Thank you so much!!! MWAH!!!
