Understatement of the Year

Being busy, that is! Terribly busy!

My total sleep for the past week was maybe 30 hours only. But, it was fun having people at home! Bebi A totally hit it off with the pretty A.

Had to plan meals, bring people around, worry if they are having a good time...

And, then, there's Pre's birthday!

The week was a blast! But, I hope to recover from being sleep deprived...

So, I guess, I can tell it here that I haven't been able to scrap. My last unfinished layout sitting on the computer table with nothing but matted pictures.

Oh, mojo, come back!

Love this new Webster Pages' line. It is really as sweet as a cherry!

What a Day!

ABC 123 is POTW at Scrapbook Challenges! It really made my day! Though I woke up with just 4-5 hours of sleep. Bebi A had her asthma episodes so it was a sleepless night, checked her often to make sure she's ok. I took an urgent leave to bring her to the pedia. Then, went home afterwards.

I didn't touch my scrap supplies yesterday. I didn't open my office email. I didn't check my Blackberry. I only watched Season 1 of Private Practice and played Wii with Bebi A. I checked the web for spoilers for the upcoming season of Grey's and Private Practice. Then I cooked dinner. Nothing more, nothing less. I was trying to detress but come night time, I was anxious that my day of rest has come to an end and tomorrow's another day at the office.

But, an email from Mareng M this morning woke me up from laziness. Thanks, Mareng M!

ABC 123

Bebi A was 3 months old here. I can't believe that in 7 days, she will be 4 years old. She continues to be our sunshine, the one who always wakes up with a smile, who makes us laugh with her funny antics, who dances when we ask her to, who likes to follow Dawter T around.

This Ikea frame was altered using Scrap Within Reach Emerson and Elliot lines. The little girl is from Maya Road, and the Jack in the Box was made by moi (don't you just love him? Hehehe...) The balloons were traced from my Dew Drops ink hehehe, the super cute chipboard alphas are from Scrap Within Reach.

The eyes of both the clowns and the little girl are from Doodlebug stickers. I always try to use even the sticker negatives. The little girl's eyes are from the letter the W (the in between hehehe) then I just used my black pen to make the eyes. Dawter T laughed at my doodle, being the high and mighty that she is when it comes to drawing. She wanted me to draw eyelashes and stuff but told her that's the best that I can do and I will stop there in case I make a booboo I will later regret. Hehe.

I am very happy with this frame. And, this will be placed besides all our other frames on top of our computer table. My next project is for Dawter T, she wants a princess themed frame.
