i know i’ve been gone for almost 2 months.. but of course not without a reason, so here it is! I’M PREGNANT!!! been having really bad “evening sickness” for the past month that i haven’t really scrapped or opened my PC in the evening. so i’ve been really neglecting my blog and CT duties for a while now. but i’m nearing the end of my 1st trimester (yipee!) and hopefully, no more nausea and vomiting by next week! i’m looking forward to scrap again and to revive my blog!

we’re really thankful to God for this wonderful blessing and hope that everything goes well until i give birth next year. so aside from scrapping, my blog will become a somewhat “pregnancy diary”. watch out for pictures and stories from my experiences & checkups (hope i won’t bore you to tears). lol

not with scrapping but with work! it’s my first week as boss here in our project and there so many things to do… document this and document that, meetings here and meetings there… *arrggh*

but of course, i wouldn’t let a week pass without any scrapping! lol here’s a few that i’ve finished. haven’t scrapped any of our europe pics yet. somehow, i like to scrap children more than us! hahaha!

and now for SSD’s FOB2Y,  we need to post our favorite vacation location. since we just got back from europe, i can say that my favorite location right now is switzerland! i love the cleanliness of the country and all that nature places! everywhere you look there’s mountain or lake! you’ll really feel relaxed here..  and not to mention, lots of delicious swiss chocolates! *wink*

just want to greet all US citizens a happy independence day!

——————–

and also a belated happy father’s day to my papa & all the fathers out there.

here are 2 new LOs i did using JenLin Designs – C’mon Get Happy kit.

i’m sad to say that one of my CT Maja Designs will not be designing anymore. but here’s my last LO as her CT and at the same time, our team’s farewell token to our PM who’s leaving the project.

lastly, here’s my entry for SSD’s FOBTY’s for 7/3/08.

What These Fireworks Say About You

You are deeply passionate about a few things in your life. Everything else, you couldn’t care less about. Your passions tend to hold steady over time. If anything, they intensify. Once you hold on to something (or someone), you don’t let go!

i haven’t been able to scrap at my usual pace since we came back from holiday… maybe because i’ve been assigned a higher role in our project (because our PM resigned) and also because i’ve been feeling under the weather lately, could it be i’m … ??? hopefully, by next week, i can get on top of things especially on my CT layouts.

anyway, here are some LOs that i’ve finished the past week.

and here’s one for my CT PST Designs. i really love the doodles in her new kit – Lake.

just came back yesterday from our 2 weeks europe honeymoon tour! =D i’ll post some photos soon… i promise!

in the meantime, i’m catching up on my emails (got tons of them) and also my scrapping! will post some new LOs by this weekend.

here’s my entry for SSD’s FOB2Y for 6/12 and 6/19. for my favorite summer activity, i can say it would be going to the beach & putting on tons of sunblock coz i really do not want to get a sunburn!

What Your Fridge Says About You

You tend to be a very hedonistic, greedy person. You have trouble saying no to what you want. You tend to be a fairly thrifty person. You splurge occasionally, but you’re mostly a saver. You are a very adventurous person. You love to try new things, and you get bored very easily. You try to be responsible, but you don’t always succeed. Your heart is in the right place though. You are likely single – and spending many nights alone at home.

it’s finally sunday & 2 days from now, we’ll be leaving for our trip! but in the meantime, i can still scrap right?! so here are my LOs for the week! i think some of these are my best works to date!

for my first LO, i used cinnamon-designs vitaline kit! this is so beautiful with realistic elements & can suit masculine photos. so i used this to scrap the first solo LO of my hubby!

lastly, i’m happy to announce that i was chosen as guest CT for the talented Sita of PST Designs. her designs are really gorgeous and full of realistic elements! i’m so proud to be on her amazing CT.

here’s my first LO using her kit – Milky!

i’ve been rak’d again. thanks so much to kitty chen & joe designs! i love these gorgeous quickpages!!!

first is for us to post on our dream vacations. i could think of a dozen places that i’d like to visit but i want to make this more exotic so i choose egypt!

speaking of vacations, we’re finally pushing thru with our long overdue europe trip – next week! this being said, i’ll be MIA (missing in action) for 2 wks! i’ll miss scrapping but i’m sure i’ll have plenty to scrap with when we get back!

2nd is to do this nerdy quiz. here’s my score.
