Summery Kits

It’s been a while since I last posted some freebie finds here. I am hoping that I can do it regularly but real life prevents me from doing so. Anyways, summer is officially here (at least from where I live), here are some free kits which are perfect for those summer memories.

Showers and Flowers
April Showers Bring May Flowers
After the Rain 

   

Eastermania 
April Showers Bring May Flowers 
A Touch of Spring

And as always, don’t forget to say thank you to the generous designers. And since I am done hunting for free kits, I am off to search for a good brand of led light bulbs. The one that we have outside the house needs replacement.

Ta-ta for now!

Missed

Thanks to the demands of my job, the projects that I have been working into are being put on hold. Sale on digishops is another thing that I missed. It’s not that I have been shopping, right? I just love seeing what’s on sale and testing my will to resist the temptation to spend. Hehe. I have tons of kits in the CDs and my EHD which need to be put into good use.

I still have to think over buying an external DVD burner (for back-up of photos and kits) or another EHD (to store my kits and photos separately). But whatever I might go for, I will check out buy.com for great deals. Their prices are irresistible and there’s no need to think twice when buying something from there. Way to go, buy.com!

Tired.

Hey. I can’t say that it was a relaxing weekend. I had to go to work in the morning of Saturday. Ugh. Plus attend the convocation and farewell party of DD. I was not in the mood to go but the good thing was she was in their honor’s list again. That’s 4 times this school year (one per grading period) so we expect an award come graduation day.

This morning was spent doing the laundry (mainly by DH) and sorting of toys (by me, after a million years). I already bought additional plastic baskets for the big toys while there were smaller ones for the plastic toys. I also separated the animal toys and plastic coconut and Loquat trees from the cards and puzzle pieces. The pencils and crayons were also segregated. One big plastic was full with stuff that needed to be disposed.  We also disposed a big plastic of full of clothes and our ironing lady (bless her good heart for coming today) is one happy recipient.

Moreover, I finally found the courage to look into the plastic container that housed our wedding photo albums. Good thing the photos are still in good shape and have not discolored YET. Those are magnetic albums. I discovered that they will destroy the photos over time when I became a scrapbooker. I will be rescuing them come Holy Week, have them scanned and make a photo book (a 12x12 perhaps). It is going to be a grand project so wish me luck!

:: Play the drums perhaps.

And as always, thanks, Yen!

My First ARTSCOW Photo Book

Hello! I have been meaning to post this when it arrived some million years ago. Unfortunately, I kept on postponing it until I completely forgot about it until now. And without further ado, allow me to present to you my ARTCOW photo book!

Here is the front cover:


And the back cover:
Some inside pages:

I find almost everything nice! Except for the cover which was a bit off-centered for me. Next time, I will keep the cover simple to avoid things like that. Aside from the cover, some skin tones were too dark. But all in all, I am very, very satisfied! I was a bit surprised when I got it, I did not expect it to be that small and thin. Haha! But duh, it’s 8 inches by 8 inches with 23 pages. But hey, I almost needed Super Cissus to ease the pain I felt on my wrist after finishing those pages! But anyways, it’s worth the pain and all. DD loved the book. She even brought it to her grandparents’ house when she visited them. What a show off!

I have three more lined up photo books. I hope I can finish them within five days, before my ARTSCOW codes expire. Yikes! Good luck to me!

Alive!

I have no layouts to share right now. Work and some stuff swallowed me whole. Good thing I came out of them alive. Haha! It’s the end of the school year and I have been tasked with conducting a survey and FGD to see if our clients are satisfied with our how we did our job during the school year. After that, we will be engaging into planning for the incoming school year. Our summer will surely be so, so busy! Aside from developing a Leadership Program curriculum, we are also delving into the possibility of developing a comprehensive Sports Development Program. We need to find ways to encourage our student-athletes to engage themselves into our various varsities. We have existing varsities but we do think that there is more that we can do to improve it. We need everything to get covered, including disability insurance if we want the best to play.

Speaking of disability insurance, I recently discovered that Allsup. It has a 97% success rate for those who complete the SSDI process with them. As a nationwide leader in the field of financial and healthcare related services to people with disabilities provider, it has has helped more than 110,000 people receive their entitled Social Security Disability Insurance and Medicare benefits since 1984. I wonder if there is such service provider here in the country which we can avail.

Anyways, tomorrow is a local holiday and guess who is celebrating! However, I wish I can squeeze in some scrap time since I brought home more work! Boohoo!
