TGIF

Finally, it's Friday. Another workweek has ended.I'll be with hubby again. Staying at home gets you bored at times especially if you are not allowed to do some task. But, I just want to think of my baby. At least she/he will also get some rest. But what worries me today is the weight that I'm losing. I don't know why. Hope, I'll get on track as the days passed by. My next OB vsit will be in 2 weeks.

Just a recap of my week.

Monday - Holiday. Hubby was at home and he had a home service massage. I was envious. We had Greenwich overload for PM snaks. Yummy.

Tuesday - Hubby went to office and I was left at home. Scrapped the pix of our help's kids.

Wednesday - Typhoon Karen made me a couch potato. Thankful that we're safe at home. Have seen those who really got affected of the typhoon. Hubby bought me fresh buko. Yipee!

Thursday - On BED all day. And got these pasalubongs from one of our friend who just got back from his 3 week training in our CA office.

Friday - TODAY! Got very dizzy when I woke up. Just ate bfast with hubby before he left for work. Took a nap because I really don't have the energy to get up. Good thing that I felt better after 2 hours of sleep. Now, I am still resting and anticipating the dinner date that hubby wants us to have tonight. We just hope that the road will be clear on this Friday Night!

MLA & SH SCRAPJAM

Last Saturday, although hubby and I were still tired because of our group bonding the day before, we got up early to prepare for the Scrapjam. We arrived early in Nette's place. But there were 2 more scrapbookers who arrived earlier than us. Hehehe. Hubby just chose a place for me then we went shopping. And these are the items we bought.

We're able to see old and new faces. Also able to meet friends like Issa, Meanne and CV. It was a fun-filled day. We had a lot of projects like the mini toot paper bag, CD album, flip and fold album and the make & take by MF. Most of them I tried finishing @ home. Will post the pix of these projects on my next post.

I love these projects as well as the other activities we had like the stamping demo by Jian (Marissa's DD), the Scrap Bingo, Raffle, the ODS Challenge and the "Paagaw" (Marissa and Nette literally threw items to all the participants. It was really fun. Everybody had fun.

This is the content of the loot bag.

I got this from the "Paagaw".

Did I mention that I also got these from the Raffle?

Marissa also gave an special stamp for me and dra. rita.

This is my entry to the ODS Challenge.


It is already Tuesday but I still have a hang-over. I will definitely attend the next event that MLA and SH will conduct (if my schedule permits). Looking forward to it.

More stories about the scrapjam in the blogs of Lee, Issa, Chiqui, Dra. Rita ... (I haven't checked the blog of other participants.).

Typhoon Frank ruined my Recent LOs

Yesterday.... I was not able to sleep well because of the Typhoon Frank. The rain was falling so hard and deafening. Though I was half-asleep, I was looking at hubby from time to time to see if the rain is waking him up. But it didn't. He was so asleep.I still needed to wake him up for him to check if all our windows are closed. Though, he was so sleepy, he got up and found out that some of the windows in our room are still open. Some of our things already got wet including my AMM tote. I was half mad that time. Then, he got back to sleep. I was able to sleep for some time but I dreamt that windows from the other room is open and the water is coming it. I woke up and tried to woke up hubby. He told me that it was closed. Believing in him, I go back to sleep.

At 8 in the morning, a strong banging of a window woke me up. I asked hubby to checked it. It was the window by our stairs. A lot of water already went inside our house. Hubby also informed me that my cart got wet. I got up immediately and found that my scrapbook albums are wet. I was fiery mad that time but don't know who to blame. What makes me more mad is that the LOs that got wet were my latest creations. Waah. Hubby also got mad because he became my shock absorber. Then, I asked hubby to just let my LOs dry up downstairs in our sala. Good thing that hubby thought of my heat gun. He dried my LOs with the heat gun. Buti na lang... di masyado halata na nabasa after he dried them up. Pero yung album which is a cloth didn't dried up nice. Maybe, it is because of the color - black and white. After matuyo namin lahat... medyo nawala na init ulo ko. Hubby just asked me to watched the movie " Drillbit Taylor". It was nice and funny movie. And it made me forget the wetness that happened to my LOs.

My question now is how can I make the cover of my album look better? Any suggestion?

My New Baby - Canon Selphy

We were able to try out our new Canon Selphy last Friday. We got it last Thursday from our suking tindahan - EBAY.

We are so happy with it. The advantage of having a compact printer at home is having less pressure of getting to the mall in time for a pix that we need to print asap.

The only problem we have now is we need to buy ink and photo papers. We already used 1 out of the 5 complimentary papers in the package. So excited to use it more!
