I am wishing of a vacation right now. I have a friend who will be celebrating Christmas out of town. But with my condition right now, pregnant and all, I simply can’t. And with our financial status I don’t think a vacation is right. So I will just day dream and imagine myself seated in a modern outdoor seating like this:

That will be the most relaxing vacation ever!

Ok now back to reality… I am hungry now. Will get something on the kitchen and fill up my tummy. Tah tah!

Here’s the promised part two of my unshared layouts.

I hope you are inspired once again. I am happy I am able to scrap these photos now. I am able to create these pages when my daughter is sleeping. I still have a lot of photos of Cate to scrap but I am getting there. I hope to scrap them before my baby boy comes out. Wish me luck!

Happy scrapping everyone!

We are doing some gift shopping a while ago and I am thinking of what to give to a dear friend of mine. I know she loves bead and what else can make her happy but to have some new supplies. so I went to the bead section and found a very cute ones. I know she will be very happy to receive this as our Christmas gift. Will request some bracelet for baby Cate. so she will have something to munch err wear on our Christmas party on the 29th. =)

So sorry for the lack of updates on my digital scrapbooks. I will share now my latest creations. I was too busy creating them and totally forgot to share them here on my blog.

Here’s the layouts that I haven’t shared here yet:

I am not yet done sharing my unshared LOs. Will break them into two posts as it will be too boring to share them all in one post. I didn’t know it’s been that long that I shared my latest layouts. Ugh! Sorry!

Ok, If you are looking for my complete gallery here’s the link:

I hope I was able to inspire you today.

Have a great day everyone!

I noticed that for the past two years I get sick when it’s time for the Christmas holidays. I didn’t know why at first but I realized that I was getting so stressed out with all the things that I needed to do. Because of this, I didn’t appreciate the Christmas season anymore. I used to dread the holidays and no longer enjoy it. But this is totally wrong because the Christmas holiday is supposed to be a season that should be enjoyed and cherished, a perfect time to spend with our families and friends. It is supposed to be a season to be thankful and a perfect opportunity to show our loved ones that we love them.

So I decided to change my ways and started to shop early this year. And guess what? I’m done with all my Christmas shopping and I still have 17 days to go before the special day. I love that I didn’t cram in wrapping the gifts. I now look forward to the get together and Christmas celebrations with my family and friends. I can even continue with my usual everyday routine like exercising every other day and spend more time with the kids. And what’s more exciting is that possible out of town trips before Christmas can now be planned since our weekends are free. I felt the benefits of early Christmas shopping and I’m so glad I decided to do it. Not only did it make things easier for me and my family, but it also made me appreciate the joy that we get during the holidays.

Ysabela is currently working as a freelance content writer and her latest work is about leg warmers for women. She is a great fan of fashion, style and photography.

I am wishing to have a nice point and shoot this Christmas but I think Santa won’t read this blog post. But oh well I will just blog it anyway. I wanted to get the Lumix camera or one of canon digital cameras. You see I already have a Nikon DSLR and I wanted to try Canon brand on my point and shoot camera. They got good reviews that’s why I wanted to own one myself. Sigh! I wish I have money right now so I won’t be wishing for a p&s camera. I badly need one right now. My DSLR is too big to carry around.

I went to my parents house today to visit them and had a small chitchat with my sister. We talked about Christmas wish lists and gift shopping. She has been shopping for gifts online. Bought gift for me and the husband. And me? None. Zero. I haven’t listed my gift list yet! Yikes! And what date is today? December 4 already! Now I am panicking! I better check the kelty backpacks at RockyMountainTrail.com that my husband has been wishing to get since last month. If I didn’t get it I will have to think of other gift ideas for him. Any suggestion? And tomorrow I promise to list down what gift to give to my family. I better act now or end up panicking a day before Christmas Day. Yikes! I don’t want that to happen.

It’s been two weeks since I updated this blog. I have been a lazy blogger these days. My pregnancy hormones are sticking again. Sorry.

Well, I have been busy taking care of my daughter and my pregnancy. I am online most of the time but just lurking around. I have been active on FB and twitter. I wanted to scrap everyday but my goal ended a few days ago. I am too lazy to open Photoshop the other day and there’s no way of creating a page. And until now I haven’t had new layouts to share. =( Just old ones that I haven’t shared here on my blog. Will share them later or the next days.

I am mostly online when my two loves are sleeping. I sleep late and I woke up late. Been suffering from lower back pain when I go to sleep. I wonder if this is normal or not. =( I hope me and my baby boy is A-ok.

I will work now and try to scrap. Fingers crossed!

Tatah!

Our Christmas Party theme for this year will be Hollywood Red Carpet. And we are asked to wear formal dresses. What??? What will I wear on that event when I am this pregnant!? Now I am on a hunt for a nice formal maternity dresses online and at the local Dress Shoppe. As much as possible I don’t want to buy a new one because I will just wear it once. I will give birth on February and that dress will just gather dust on my closet. Or the other plan is to buy or have it made by my seamstress. And make or choose something that I can still wear after giving birth. That way I can wear it again.

These are very nice. I love to have something like these:

There’s an exchange gift going on with my twitter friends’ kids. And most of the girls wished for babydolls this Christmas. You just can’t remove baby dolls on girls. One can’t have too many dolls they say. And I agree with them. When I was a kid I always ask mom and dad to buy me Barbie dolls at the mall. And even those paper dolls which was hand drawn by my cousin, I enjoy playing them with or without a playmate. I am happy with dolls as my toy. And I can relate to those girlies of my friends. I love dolls too! Happy happy!

There’s a tiny little hotdog on my ultrasound check up today.

It’s a BOY this time!!!

Yes Cate is having a baby brother!

Weeeee!!!

We are so delighted with the news. Now we have another boy after losing Kuya Huey. I am sure he’s happy on having a baby brother too! Thank you Kuya for praying to God for us to feel complete now.

What I am thinking right now is where to buy baby boy clothes and other things! I’ve seen a lot of fb sellers but most of them sells baby girls clothes. Sheesh this will be a new task for me to accomplish. Now I have to sort Cate’s clothes and give them away or sell them as there’s no one will inherit them in the family. I am one excited mommy shopper here for new boy clothes and things! haha! Recommend some sites and stores to me once you got something ok?

I started scrapping two layouts today. I missed scrapping already. I intended to finish it but I can’t. I am now sleepy and I don’t know if I can still finish it right now. I will have to find some custom coins for a project of mine and look for some new pregnancy dresses later and then I will hit the sack. Oh how I wish I have all the energy to finish everything on my to do list today. I will just wake up early tomorrow and finish everything.

Good Night everyone!

I was able to find this CozyWinters.com heated motorcycle clothing site a few days ago and I wanted to tell my husband about it… but I forgot. Now hubby is sleeping already and I don’t know if I will still remember to tell him tomorrow. Blame it on the anesthesia given to me when I gave birth. These days I always forgot a thing or two. And I am not liking it. I think this is part of growing old. haha!

Sixty Nine days and it’s Christmas time once again. I haven’t listed my Christmas shopping yet but I am considering the Gears of War 3 xbox 360 for hubby. He is not the type who will play this kind of game but I can try to buy it for him and let him try it. Who knows he will love it. If not there is an option in selling it online. As for my dear daughter, I am thinking of giving her a new wardrobe or a new toy. She loved receiving gifts even if it is just a simple one. If you give her a box she will play with it and appreciate it. She is one simple baby and I love her.

"I will sing forever of Your love, O Lord!
I will celebrate the wonder of Your Name!
For the Word that You speak
Is a song of forgiveness
And a song of gentle mercy and of peace."

Have a great Sunday everyone!

Let us all pray pray pray for all of our intentions.

Talk to God and be healed.
