Ecclesiastes 9:10

I got inspired with Pamela's challenge on her blog. Her layout looked amazing!!! And, I just want to give it a try... I hope you do too!

I love this verse from Ecclesiastes 9:10. I've been feeling a bit off lately. I feel restless and a bit lonely... I feel that I am not productive enough, both at home and at work. I miss having adult company during the day (LOL!), I guess I miss my dear buddy from the Singapore office. She always know when I am feeling down and she will invite me to have french fries. LOL!

Anyway... I've been running around in circles again. I guess what I am trying to say is that it's a good reminder to do your best in everything you do. May it be with being a mom and not nag, being a good worker and try to find good solutions to work issues, or learning to drive (arghhhhh! I keep forgetting to do head check when I change lanes)...

Life will get back to normal. I just have to do everything from the heart.

Love Love

I just wanted to quickly document what my Bebi A told me on our way home from school. We're usually chatty after school while Dawter T mulls over the day (silent and frowning)...

"Mommy, remember what I told you a few days ago."

She tells me a lot of things so I told her so.

"Remember, my crush." Hmmmm... "He was not at school for a few days."

"Yeah", I said.

"He came to school today," with matching "kilig" I believe...

OMG... Where is that coming from??? She's a very old six years old in that aspect. But, I know it's just fun for her. Although it's too funny sometimes... I can't helped feel where has the time gone?

Dog

Dawter T and Bebi A came up with the title for this one. They both have been WANTING a pet dog! But, unfortunately, I am not a pet person. I do love dogs (please don't tell them!), I grew up with dogs all around the house. But, for some reason, I am not as enamored as my daughters and husband...

This dog, Pugsley, is the closest they got to touching one. When we went home to the Philippines in our 2010 vacation, Tita E's family just bought one. He's a cutie, alright! And my daughters just fell in love with him.

On the scrappy side of this post, hmmm, I finally scrapped my Webster's Pages again. I am very unsure of this layout. It seemed bare, it seemed to lack something. But, it's a step closer to getting my mojo back. LOL. I've been making small tags, cards for my March Madness projects. I am happy to be in my own world again. It seem to bring out the stress out. Scrapping does that to me. But, it's quite stressful looking for my tools, my materials in my boxes. When will I ever be able to unload them all? And, when will I have my scrappy room! Hehehe...

Happy Wednesday!

Love Bottles

If I can bottle up LOVE, I would...

Well, this is as close as I can get...

I love this Neapolitan papers from the AC Dear Lizzy line...

Love, love, love them!

The picture is not the best and the design is too simple.

My husband said it's too pale.

But, for my eyes, it's just plain love!

This will go to out very plain wall!

Hope I can finally hang it. LOL.

Life

Just want to share the cover of my March Madness album based on the sketch below.

As usual, I used my scraps coz I didn't have the guts to use my papers again. It's like I am panicking coz I haven't found a scrapbooking shop yet. *Missing MWL mode...*

March Madness

To motivate myself... I plan to join the bandwagon and start a project --- sort of like --- project life... But, I am taking baby steps and will be working on March first. I am calling it my March Madness project.

I've worked on a sketch for my cover (thanks to MS Word's clipart)... Yup, that's all I've worked on. As I have said, baby steps. I can't seem to scrap these days without a sketch. Hehehe...


Here's to a fruitful and busy March! Can't wait to get started!

Starting Over

It feels like I am in Primary school year 1 and I don't know what I am doing. But, for a few hours. It was just me, the scissors, the papers and glue. It's hard to start over. It's hard when the feeling is I can't let go of the Prima swirls, the cute papers or even the scraps. Hopefully, my next page won't be in another two months. I hope I really make time.

This layout is for Bebi A's show and tell tomorrow. It feels so bare. Maybe I should have used some glimmer mist... Hahaha... I've used some of the photos before, the last one is new, just this Christmas.

Time flies so fast. She's in year 1 and enjoying it soooo much. There are days I wonder if she'll feel the same if she was studying in Singapore.
