Oh but I had to cut my scrapping time short as my printer ran out of ink!!! :o ohmy! didn't know my inkwell was going to dry up this soon! Actually, I didn't know having a photo printer was so convenient, I ended up printing most of my photos out of it! HEHEHE. Oh but darn if my pocketbook's going to be happy about how much I needed to shell out for a new set of ink colors!

i'm lovin' it

Philpost that is. Today I was surprised, but royally pleased, to have received a goodie box right at my doorstep. This is the 2nd time this has happened. Not complaining though, just wondering. HAHA. Is this a new trend, do you think?

I'm actually probably the last subber to have received her kit from Bad Girls (due to a mix up), haha, but I'm not complaining =) these are yummy stuff! Oh and patience really does pay - just for being 'good' about the whole thing, Wendy threw in one of the latest Tinkering Ink kits! How fun is that!?

TAGGED, again

by Jeanette. This is how it works: You must list one fact about yourself for each letter of your middle name. Each fact must begin with that letter. If you don't have a middle name, just use your maiden name. After you've been tagged, you need to update your blog with your middle name and answers. At the end of your post, you need to tag one person for each letter of your middle name. (Be sure to leave them a comment telling them they've been tagged and need to read your blog for details).

Well, my middle name is actually the name I go by but that is quite lengthy, haha. So, I'll just go with my maiden name, which is shorter by a couple of letters!

V - Versatile. at least i try to be. Hmm... I'd like to think that I am very adaptable right now when it comes to scrapping. I tend to love a certain kind of style, but I am not averse to trying out others that strike my fancy.

E - Eager - to learn new things and to meet new friends.

L - Loyal. If you are friend or family, you have my constant support and allegiance.

A - Aquarian. Uhm, I don't actually believe in Astrology all that much anymore, but some traits attributed to Aquarians uncannily pertain to my personality.

Z - Zany. Oh yes. I can be so eccentric at times. Aren't all Aquarians? =)

C - Charming. Not! - hahahahaha!!!! No. I am definitely not a charmer by my mom's standards! :o

O - Obsessive Compulsive. yes. i can be obsessive compulsive. yikes! and OH! oh yes. I can be quite opinionated as well (unfortunately, I tend to be tactless at times... luckily, T is not part of my middle name, so I'll drop it! haha!)

I don't really want to impose on anybody, but if you'd like to play this game, please consider yourself tagged!

late bloomer

who would've thought that after all this time, and with my long-standing love affair with photos, it is only now I have considered investing in and playing with a much-touted photo editing software? haha! actually, i ordered this several months ago but I asked for a replacement (which never happened!!) because I ordered version 5.0 and the supplier gave me version 4.0. i was eventually informed that Adobe has yet to release a v5.0 for a mac so i simply asked for a refund. supplier and i exchanged several text messages and e-mails but apparently, they reneged on their commitment. so all these months, i've been twiddling my fingers, waiting.... waiting. to. no. avail. i am never ordering from them again. in the meantime, i'll just content myself with a lemon (as this version has oft been referred to) and maybe try to work wonders with my blah photos.

a trip to the PO = scrappy goodness

i happened to be at home this morning when a PO notice arrived. of course, that only meant 1 thing... i had to make some cards! hahaha!! -- ??

well, a friend and an aunt who happen to reside in the US are celebrating their birthdays this month and since I was making a trip to the PO anyways, I decided I may as well send cards and some goodies their way today! right?

here's what i whipped up in a jiffy as I had to be at work by 1pm. yup. if you're pressed for time, it's always a good idea to make identical cards! hahaha! good thing they don't know each other! *wink!*


and of course, here are the goodies in the box :) yum! so looking forward to the weekend!
