Scrappin' Moms Idol 2

Two rounds, one layout and one 4-pc party set in two weeks. I can't believe I pulled it off and made it through. :)

Unfortunately, I cannot post my projects here but here's where you can view them:

R&R

My MIL treated my SIL Ria and myself to a weekend trip to Bangkok. I thought that it would be a good R&R. Rest? Nah. Recreation? Yes. We were able to tour 2 temples, shop for cheap clothes (just got to go back for those Wacoals!!), and the highlight, eat super cheap but really good street food! Thanks, Mom!

Unfortunately, none of us brought a camera. Thank goodness for Ria's camera phone. You can view our photos here.

Happy Pages

ONE!

My Jao is 1 today! Yay!

As traditional (or usual) as in most kiddie birthdays, I made spaghetti. Lola Julie, Ninang Ria and cousins Kuya Luis, Ate Nadya, & Ate Bianca came to celebrate with us. Highlights of the non-party event below.




Thanks for the gift and to Ria for Jao's yummy choco birthday cake!

Discover You

Finally finished this LO which I started before I got the BPM July kit. When the kit came in, I had to set this one aside.

Four Eyes

Yep, that's me now. I just bought my reading glasses today. I had been in denial for the past couple of months or so. I kept telling myself and everyone else that my eyes were just tired and that I didn't need glasses.

I hate glasses. I had my first pair about 20 years ago for astigmatism. It was an accessory that I didn't want on me. But now I have no choice else I won't be able to read! A friend of mine said it's inevitable when one reaches 40 (which is the new 20s btw) and so now it's here. One good thing about is I only have to wear them whenever I'm reading or looking at something at close distance.

Oh well, c'est la vie.
