SCRAPFEST4 and My Sick Hubby

Hubby was sick last Friday. I am already having 2nd thoughts of attending the Scrapfest4.
Told hubby about it but he still insisted that I go. I prepared the things that i'll be bringing for the scrapfest that night.

On Saturday, we left home @ 8:30am. Did a RAK before going to MAX's (venue of Scrapfest4).
Arrived there, few minutes after 10am. I got seat#37. This was based on the time you arrived in the place.

Maaga pa pala ako. I was assuming that the place will be almost fully packed because they announced that the door will be opened @ 9:30am. Hubby left me after a few minutes. He'll be staying in his sisters' house in Cubao while waiting for me. He still needs some rest.... i felt so guilty...

Ngaps... here is the content of the loot bag with the materials for the mini album and the On-the-SPOT challenge.


The 1st thing I did was to shop. Then we were called for a CARD making demo.
There were a lot of challenges for that day:
a. Card Making - Sponsored by MLA
b. Del Monte Page on the mini Album - Sponsored by Del monte
c. On the Spot Challenge (2 Categories):
1. Beginners
2. Advance
d. Scrappin Mom's IDOL On-the-Spot Challenge

I was not able to join the 1st 2 challenges due to lack of time. Pretty busy chatting and shopping.
Participated in the on the spot challenge - I was included in the advance group ( as per the SM, these are the scrappers that have already won in a challenge).

Been to a lot of pressure because we're only given 1 hour to complete the LO. I was doing 3 things at the same time.
1. Nangingialam kay"Dinah", my seatmate, with her LO. Just giving suggestions.
2. looking with Donna's worked. I was seated a seat away from her. She's really good on techniques. Learned a lot from her.
3. Doing my own LO.

Initially...had a hard time conceptualizing because I got green PPS. I was never a green person. Most of my LOs were red and black. But it seems that everything just fell into place. I started working on a black CS base. Then used my Personalized Scalloped Template from Au. (Thanks Au! kahit baka magalit si Hubby. It has my maiden name. Hehehe). I even ran on the demo table to get some paint (another requirement for Advance category is the use of liquid medium and a fabric). Never really expected to win. Esp. with the booboo on my LO (bottom of the pix). Guess what it is? I'l give u a kiss pag nahulaan nyo... hehehe.

The winners for the Advance Category are:
3rd Place: Airees
2nd Place: Me
1st Place: BJAY

Was so happy then... really didn't expect to win with the gorgeous pages made by the advanced scrappers. Anyway..thanks Scrappin Moms for this Challenge. I was really challenged.

Thanks also for the Prize!!! Mwah!


After the announcement of the winners for the OTS challenge.. It is now time to announce the 1st ever Scrappin Moms IDOL winner. Grabe.. kakakaba and kakaloka.

Congrats CABBIE!!! You deserved to be an IDOL!!!

Scrappin Moms.. thanks for the SMI PIN. Kahit di kami kasama sa TOP12, we're able to get a PIN!!! Thank You. Thank YOU!

Btw, have a glimpse of my new purchases:

I was not able to finish the whole event.. hubby is already sicked... again. He's head is aching. I can see it in his EYES but he doesn't want to spoil the day.

I just insisted that we call it a day. Nakalimutan ko na nga magpaalam sa aking mga seatmates and friends. Sorry Po. Family comes 1st.

We just ate in MAX so hubby can take a Medicine. Unfortunately. The medicine I've been keeping in my bag can't be taken by hubby because he just took a strong Anti-biotic. I think, this medicine caused hubby's headache.

Before heading home... we dropped by ARKDIA in Malate to get the entrance receipt that our company is requiring before we can reimbursement the gimik we had few weeks ago.

We took the coastal road going home. Buti na lang wala ng traffic. In Aguinaldo Hway, hubby spotted the "RED RIBBON". He was craving for their new " Custard Roll"... unfortunately .... wala na sila stock. Waah.

Uwi na lang kami with a broken heart. Hubby's head is still aching. I been begging him to let me drive so he can rest.. pero ayaw talaga. Ang tigas ng ulo. Hay. Buti na lang...meron kami nadaanan na drug store. Bought Mefenamic Acid.

At home... ngarag na kami dalawa. Masakit na rin ulo ko. We just took the medicine, clean up and slept....

That saturday was like a roller coaster ride... grabe.....
