Almost Retired Kits

I created another two pages! Woot! I am on a roll!

During the height of my digiscrapping frenzy, I got to hoard kits. Of course it is every scrapper's guilty pleasure to hoard kits that they forget to use. I am guilty as charged with that. So since I was on a scrapping leave for a few months, I was out of any CT and now that I feel like the "burnout" has gone, I get to use the kits that I have hoarded in the past!

Here they are and the photos are linked to the gallery for proper credits.



Happy Scrapping and have a fruitful week ahead!

Smile

When you are a mother, your focus diverts to your child and when you get a hobby, most of your creations are related to your child.

Finally I was able to scrap! Yay! There are a lot of things that I want to do in the digiworld and I am excited. This morning, I was able to make this page, inspired by my child of course.

I am currently making another page later today and when I am done, I will surely publish it.

Scrap Freeze

I am a frozen delight, indeed, I am! I haven't been scrapping for months now and it is a pity. I miss my digi friends and the forums where I used to be active. Aside from that, I miss the challenges. Joining challenges helps me become more creative and sometimes that's where I get and learn new ideas. So it's a pity, but I will be back. Soon, I will be up on my sleeve and do serious scrapping fun.


Aside from digital scrapping, I miss taking photos of my kids and random happenings. I used to love creating photo books of my children and stack them as memoirs of their childhood. Since I became busy with work and some stuff, I forgot to have fun and relax. You know when you become a mother, your world revolves around your children and make sure that they have a happy childhood where they can always reminisce with a smile on their faces in the future.

Well oh well, I miss my old self. The creative and free spirited me. I guess I will have to stretch and take a leap once more and go back to being a fun person that I used to be. I might as well think of buying scrubs for men and give a pair to all of my male cousins as a holiday gift. That looks like a fun start don't you think? So I will be off now and scout some scrub stores and choose funky designs that I like and then maybe I can let my cousins wear their scrubs this coming New Year's Eve! That would be a delight!

Our Weekend Memoirs

Two weeks ago, I found a missing link in our lives. I was tasked by an aunt of mine to look for a relative based in Indonesia. The catch is that I didn't know we have relatives there. Anyway, to make the long story short, after countless searches from every search engine I know, I was able to locate the cousins I didn't know we have. It was a very compelling moment for all of us to have finally found them after 30 years. See, that's why I didn't know about them, I was not even born when they were somewhat "missing." So I was able to contact my cousin Glenn, we exchanged pleasantries and that's when I found out that his sister Jane had already died 8 years ago. It was hard for me to break the news to my mom and aunts and our feelings were torn from happiness and sadness.

Two days ago, Glenn showed us photos of our other cousin Jane and here I am showing some to you this weekend.

This was Jane during her wedding day. Her mother is a Dutch-Indonesian and her father's (my uncle) a Filipino. She was indeed a very beautiful lady. Unfortunately, she didn't have a child with her husband.

That's my cousin Jane who was also a lover of water. She was the youngest Indonesian to have a Masters Degree in Oceanology, she also had 3 international diving certificates and she worked as a diving instructor. And did I mention that she was also a polio victim? That's her, my cousin, and I am very proud of her! She died of food poisoning when she was in Thailand for a diving stint, and if I am not mistaken, she died a year before her father died.

My weekend memoir may sound sad but it is not. It is a celebration of life of a cousin I never knew I had. I am proud of them, Glenn and Jane, because they have grown to be strong people who never had bitterness in life.

Boy Kits are Hard to Find

In the land of digital scrapbooking, boy themed kits are hard to find. The perfect ones that is. That's why I was so happy when Aaron, a.k.a. Sir Scrapalot has created a Boy Kit for all of us to enjoy and play with! Take a look at this preview.Now isn't that great? It looks like a simple kit but the colors are radiantly bursting only by using the primary colors as his palette. Lovely indeed! And so here's what I came up with.



Really it's a fun kit with 17 papers and a complete Alpha too! You can click on the preview to grab the kit from the store or you can simply just click here. It's On Sale too!
