I feel so happy today because Leah Fung emailed me back! Yup I am a very shallow person. Well Leah is a very nice person and she is my idol. I idolize her scrapbooks so much. She has a perfect family. Here is our exchange of emails:

My email

Hello Leah!

Leah’s Reply

Hi Diane!

I’m so sorry for the late reply. I’m swamped with work and waaay behind on reading my emails.

You are very welcome I loved your page!! It was perfect! Keep up the great work!

Have a wonderful weekend, Diane, and please keep in touch

Leah

I emailed her because she was the guest judge at the time I was chosen as the Pick of the Week at the Scrappinmoms Idol. I am saying my thank you to her. She was very nice. And even though my email was dated Sept 17 she still replied to me. I am not expecting her reply since I know that she was very busy. But she replied! Thank you so much Leah! You are such a sweet person! You made my day!

I finally made a digital LO. Its been a while I made a digital LO. I missed doing this but my computer is getting so slow already whenever I run Photoshop. I guess I need to upgrade the memory of my PC.

My nephew was so cute with this pail. He was so eager to fetch a pail of water. I super love this pictures of him.

As I check my bloglines I came across Kim Christensen’s blog and wow she has this beautiful brush for everyone! Go grab it on her blog now before its gone!! Be sure to thank her ok?

Yes thats me on the picture. I am really happy to be a part of the Top 12 finalist of the Scrappinmoms Idol Challenge. The Top 12 must go to the Scrapfest 4 on October 6 and compete on the final round. I am still not sure if i will go or not since I have some problems to face. But I really wanted to go there. I miss my scrapping friends already and I wanna say Goodbye to my ever loving friend Joanne before she goes to Australia. I will do some arrangements with hubby and hopefully he will permit me to go to Manila. *Crossing my fingers* =p
Win or lose to the challenge I will still be happy because I became a part of this group. A very talented group indeed. It feels so good to scrap 7 LO’s within 7 weeks. It gives me a feeling of accomplishment. I still can’t post here the LOs I made during the challenge since it was still exclusively for Scrappinmoms. After the challenge I can post it here already. So wait for it. For the meantime view my LOs here.

Happy Viewing!!!!

I already submitted my LO to the Round 6 Idol challenge. Whew! That LO was super hard to do since I decided to put Huey’s burial pictures. I didn’t cry when I was doing this because I think I already moved on a little bit. I always tell myself that he is in good hands already. He is there with God. I am very positive about this. Win or Lose this is my prize. I won already by doing 7 LOs in 7 weeks. Thank you Scrappinmoms for having this kind of Challenge. Thank you!

You can view my LO here. Be sure to have a Kleenex with you….

Yes with an s. I feel so generous today since I am happy. hehehheh! I will give $10 to the first winner and $5 to the second winner.

And the winners are………

Congratulations Alby for winning $10 worth of GC and Helga for winning $5 worth of GC!!!!

Enjoy your goodies! Thank you all for participating!

*Sorry for the very small pics the names were not clearly seen. And sorry for the very ugly model. hahahahahah!

I was the POTW ( Pick of the Week) in the Scrappinmoms IDOL challenge. Woohoo! I can now be eliminated! hehehhehe!

You can see my LO here and here. My LO was entitled “My Report Card”. I scrapped my High school report cards.

The first thing I do whenever I go online is to open my YM. And there are offline messages coming from my scrapping friends. They are congratulating me for being POTW. And I was shouting woohoo! At the same time jumping up and down excitedly (yes I am a freak!!! hahahahha!) I hurriedly went outside the room and told my sister-in-law that I was POTW! and she was jumping up and down also! hahahhaha! Two freaks jumping up and down! hahahahaha!

Ms. Leah Fung was the Guest Judge for the week. She was a very talented Filipina based in US.

Leah Fung is currently the contributing editor for Better Homes and Gardens, Scrapbooks etc. She is also a designer on Scrapbook Lifestyle, an Internet T.V. scrapbook show in partnership with BH&G, and a design team member for Making Memories. A wife and mother of 2 little boys, she was also the Creating Keepsakes Hall of Fame winner for 2005.

Thank you so much Ms. Leah Fung for picking my LO. THANK YOU! And also to Scrappinmoms for this very challenging CHALLENGE! heheheh! I was not expecting to be picked because there are a lot of great entries.

Again Thank you!

I will be extending my RAK till tomorrow to give chance to others who haven’t visited the site.

Thank you so much!

Good news!I am still on TOP 15 on the scrappinmoms IDOL.

Woohoo!!!! I am really happy today! Actually, Issa texted me last night that we are still IN but I didn’t read it since I am so sleepy already. I read it first thing in the morning. It makes me smile and told honey that I am still in the contest and we are moving to round 6. It was a great news for me. Thanks Issa for the txt!

I submitted this LO on Round 5. This is about my High School Report Cards. View the announcement of the next round here.

To Welcome me on my new blog I will be having a RAK for all of you.

What you need to do is comment here (anything) and link me on your blog (if you have one). Please put the link of your blog together with your comment here so that I can link you also.

I will give $10 worth of gift certificate to any online digital scrapbooking sites. To non digi scrappers don’t worry you can use the GC to purchase anything that you can use in your hybrid scrapbooking like frames and other elements that can be use to your paper scrapbooking. And if I pick a non scrapbooker I can make a digi LO for you, but you will provide the picture.

So guys comment away and link me up!

BTW, if you are asking how will I pick the winner… I will put all the names in a box and pick one lucky winner on September 17th, Monday.

Thanks and Goodluck!
