This is seriously not funny anymore. You have a working computer but it’s so freaking slow working on a layout would take forever. You have T1 connection but can only drool over the kits you will be working with. We were supposed to have the new computer yesterday but it wont happen until Wednesday next week…ARGH!! The wait is killing me. Im tearing my hair out by the time the PC is up and running Id need a hair transplant in New York! All I can do right now is take TONS of pictures (ooooh, you have to see Martha now, so pwetty!) and organize my files. Edil finally gave in and gave me the external hard drive of my sister’s not-working laptop and sold my bulky EHD (so I have some sleek thin EHD now, ha!) so Im organizing my kits - listing my unused ones, looking for patterns I have so I know potential uses for them….it just gets so frustrating that I cant do anything with them. Oh, did I tell you I won a $25GC from ACOT for the Andrea Burns’ LO Contest? I got their Collaborative Kits - Celebrate Life and Relax. Rejuvenate and some Amy Tanabe goodies. Lucky me
Id love to share pictures but the computer at home is a loser — LOL. Not really, but Im not just used to it being slow — it’s still Pentium II and all (it’s my sisters’). My sister who is a Fine Arts Major is thoroughly intrigued with scrapbooking and now that they are studying photography and doing magazine layouts, she is borrowing the brushes in some of my kits and looking through the CK magazines I have (wait, Im not violating any TOUs here right? She is using them for personal use and will credit on their editorial mock up…). She is going to buy a manual SLR (a requirement in her class) and will tackle B&W photography and of course, her cute little niece is the subject I hope I get to have some nice (free) portrait shots!

OH, one more thing, somebody referred a local distributor of CK, BHG Scrapbooks Etc, SS and Scrapbook Answers here in my country! Yay! Im really really thinking of which mag I can subscribe to — I can only choose one (due to money constraints), so I need some help They are currently offering 15% discounts plus 5 back issues so it’s really a steal (They slash off the shipping rates as much as 80%). Pinay scrapping friends, if you need more info, please e-mail me :).

The AL FreeStyle and Designing with Type books I ordered from a fellow Pinay scrapbooker based in Chicago will be delivered soon. She is really nice and offers low shipping rates She is currently in CHA right now and taking pictures for her store. And pre-ordering for Pinay Scrapbookers of course! Please do check Sahrie’s store: www.scrapbukan.com and her CHA blog: www.scrapbukan.typepad.com.

Ok. That’s enough enabling for ME right now, LOL. Im planning Martha’s baptism already since it is only now that we can really plan and all, my parents were ready to have Martha baptized without me already (We have a tradition that newborns need to be baptized within 2 mos of life). It’s going to be pretty simple, as compared to Matthew’s but she is going to have the type where the priest will really submerge her in water instead of just having water pour over her head. That should be fun. I should have done that with Matthew instead I chickened out last minute. Edil was so angry because all the other kids were looking so cute swimming in the baptismal something (what do you call it? pool? LOL) — babies are really instinctive when it comes to water. All of them were baptized the traditional way whereas my Matthew was baptized with clothes on, LOL.

Anyhow, I wish all this scrapping time out is good on my mojo. I hope my creativity comes back with a vengeance! LOL. Till next time, I will really try to share Martha’s pictures and video…maybe later. Yep, Ill most definitely try it.

OH! Big shout outs to fellow W@Wies now N@Wies who are expecting!! Leslie, Tin and Jacque!! Congratulations! And to one of the most creative designers I have the privilege of working with - Andrea Burns - who is expecting as well! Congrats! Im in the middle of a baby boom!!! LOL.
