TGIF!
Good morning from my part of the woods! I am up so early! This is the first time that I had coffee at such an early hour! This is going to be a lovely day for many reasons:
1. Hubby will be home after a week-long travel.
2. We are having a 1/2 day off as a start of our long weekend in the observance of the All Souls Day.
3. I have plenty (and I mean plenty!) of online tasks which coincide with my long weekend. Yay! I can finally read and write a post about las vegas nv.
4. Digishops’ Halloween and Digital Scrapbooking Day sale! Yay!
Speaking of sales, look what made me click the “Add to Cart” and “Checkout” buttons yesterday at the {we are} storytellers.
Got them for $1 each! They’re linked and you only have a few hours left to grab them at such a discounted price. And since it’s a Friday, I will also be drooling over (just drool?:)) Scrapartist’s Fab Friday kits! Hmmm… It’s exciting to see what they have for me us today. Scrapartist surely made my Fridays happier!

120 Years and Counting
That’s how old Johnson & Johnson is!
Goodbye Minnie Mouse!
I am finally done with transferring our old photos from these:
to these:
By the way, here is a page of one of my albums:
And I am mighty proud! I still have to design the photo inserts which can be placed in the covers of the albums. They don’t coordinate, blame it on the limited supplies offered at our small mall. But hey, I love them! They’re much cooler than those Minnie Mouse albums. Haha! (And I miss THAT baby! Time flies really fast!)

Save up on Photo Books and Photo Printing and Receive FREEBIES
I have been looking for a good printing service that offers superb quality of prints and at the same
time, reliable and affordable. We have 4 years (and counting) worth of photos that need to be printed and they need to be printed and placed in albums in order
for me to retain my sanity. Haha! The ones the we have here are way too expensive. There are others that are online and a bit cheaper but then, I still have not availed of their services yet. Blame my lazy bones. Haha!
Good thing I chanced upon ArtsCow.com. Thanks to a discussion at the Oscraps forum. I can’t believe when I saw this at their website
:
Signing up is free so I did sign up and was greeted by a long list of freebies! Like Ornaments and
Photo Calendars, Playing Cards, Money Clip and even 8x8 Photo Books (20 pages). These and more will expire soon so its a pity that I can’t use them all. Interested? SIGN-UP HERE.
For now, I will be taking advantage and test their quality as I avail of my 50 4R prints. From what I’ve gathered, the only fee that I will be paying for these free stuff is the shipping fee. Check-out their Shipping Rates here. I will be selecting photos from my stack of CDs and enhance them as soon as I finish my review on term life insurance quotes. My freebie list is looong and there are more items that I can avail of . The latest date that some of them expires is after a year I’ve signed-up! They ship from Hong Kong so I am expecting that my soon-to-be-ordered orders will arrive on time.
And for digital scrapbookers out there, you might want to try their Photo Book printing. Pricing can be found here. Shipping is at $7.99 per book. And read about the reviews of those who already had their photo books printed by ArtsCow here.
Interested? Sign-up now! And just in case it’s OK with you, kindly use my reference link: SIGN-UP HERE. OK? :) Don’t forget that there’s more to ArtsCow than photo books and photo printing so check them out now!
Feeding My Addiction
That’s what I told D when she showed me this:
Hay. Five days of scouting for great deals! But with the rising Peso-Dollar exchange rate, I have to think not only twice but many, many times before clicking that Check-Out button. Haha! And if you wish to join me, go and click! The image is linked. :) Happy trick or treating at WST!

More Freebies from D
Photo Freedom: My First Few Steps
1. I am overwhelmed with the number of photos that I have on CDs.
2. I am guilty for not printing those 4 years (and counting) worth of photos.
3. I have tons of kits in CDs which I have not tagged (though they are being Photo Disc-ed once I burn them).
4. I am waiting for the inspiration to hit me so I can finally go through the CDs of old photos and select which one to print and then edit them and then find a good printing service-provider.
Now that I've officially declared them by posting them, I am proud to announce that I am slowly but surely making progress, thanks to the inspiration brought by Stacy Julian's book, Photo Freedom. I know I already shared this in my other blog, but this time, I AM REALLY STICKING WITH MY PLAN. And the plan includes:
1. Transferring the old printed photos to new, sturdy and acid-free albums.
2. Scan through my back up CDs and find the photos that I want to print.
3. Do a little of enhancing and send them to Arts Cow for printing.
4. Buy additional albums for the printed photos.
5. Tag the photos in CDs, using a system similar to Stacy's.
6. Find a system for my kits.
7. SCRAP!
I started last night by finally unwrapping the new photo albums (which I bought some months ago) and are now housing our first photos when we started our small family. I decided that those are the best albums (more or less similar to what Stacy used, minus the rings). Each can keep 300 4Rs and I still need more. The old albums (which are so cheap) are now coverless. They're cheap and not durable. *sigh* I more albums which are similar to what I am using now, so we are going to be buying them later (as Hubby's gift for our 7th year anniversary as sweethearts last October 22).
Why do I need to have those photos printed even if I already have them on CDs?
1. One can't really trust the durability and reliability of the CDs as storage.
2. I might misplace them.
3. It is still best for our family to see them as printed papers.
4. I won't be feeling so guilty anymore for not scrapping since they can reminish our family memories through those photos.
With that, I hope and pray that these lists will work for me and help lessen my stress (which is very evident, thanks to a big acne on my forehead!) caused by thinking about this concern. I will try to record my progress here so I can personally track how I have been doing. I hope to improve my scrapping and to really record the memories and let my loved ones see the Big Picture as I see it.

Shaui's on Spotlight!
QOTW 34
1. If someone expects you to do something you aren’t obligated to do, does that make you want to do it less?
:: Nope.
2. Are there any activities, commitments, obligations in your life that instantly put you in a bad mood?
:: Yes there, especially with my new job. But they don't put me in a bad mood, they just stress me out. Hehe.
3. What do other people do that irritate you that you recognize as a weakness in yourself?
:: Procrastinate. Hehe.
4. Do you surround yourself with the friends who like you best?
:: I don't think people will befriend me if they don't like me, so, yes!
5. When you are angry or nervous, how do you calm yourself down?
:: I talk to my husband - my pacifier, my source of wisdom and strength.
6. Do you take compliments well?
:: Not so. Hehe.
7. Do you think you would have been a different person if you had different parents?
:: Maybe.
8. Do you change your mind frequently or do you make up your mind about something and stay firm with that position?
:: I change my mind every now and then and I am entitled to that because I am a woman. Haha!
9. Describe the person that would be the exact opposite of you.
:: Always on time, never procrastinates, not loyal, not techie, not talkative, not witty, not loved by Wesley and Kaela Therese. Haha!
10. Are you generally capable of seeing both sides of an argument at the same time?
:: Yeah. I have to. :)
Thanks Yen!
