What I've Been Up To

Funny how my days are filled with extremely numerous rehearsals, shows, and dance classes but I still manage to squeeze in some chores and other extra curricular activities. It's a must for me, I guess. It's what keeps me sane amidst the daily grind of work. 1) I had a dresser made and fixed it up real well. Finally, my own little niche in our home where I can doll up in peace! And yes, complete with the lights around the mirrors like those in artists' dressing rooms. I love our carpenter :) 2) I was at Greenhills at exactly 10am when it opened and my main goal wasn't to buy clothes (I did that last week. hehe!)but to purchase more indoor plants to create a more homey feel in our living room. And I got these two... The one on the left is called a Bromiliad and the one on the right, I fondly call "pom-pom plant" coz I haven't the slightest clue what it really is (anyone?). Pom-pom plant doesn't really match my other existing indoor plants but it was cute, so I got it anyway. Might just put it in Mikah's room where it blends more with her sweet, girly interiors. 3) A few months ago I bought an expensive plastic shoe rack in Make Room. Alas, it only lasted for about a month. It couldn't carry the weight of my Imeldific collection of footwear. So again I had to call on our trusty carpenter, Mang Eddie. And voila!... ...sturdier wooden shelves. One for my hana (left side) and one for me (right side). I meticulously took a picture of each and every pair of shoes and stuck each one on their respective boxes. Whew! 4) Last but not the least, I discovered this new (to me) hobby called Digital Scrapbooking while browsing through Bambi's blog. Instantly, I got hooked. It took me awhile to figure it out though. Ehem...and now, with so much pride, I would like to show my very amateur-ish first attempt at digi-scrapbooking. *click on pic for larger view* CREDITS: Blue Winds Freebie Kit Created by Marcee J. Duggar I actually have a kid sister named, AJ but I don't have a pic of her on my pc. Not to worry J, I'll make a special one just for you :) Anyway, not bad, ey? Or maybe it was the beauty of my sisters that made my work look so pretty :) And this is my second shot at it... *click for larger image* CREDITS:Diva Page Kit Created by Amanda Behrmann Oh di ba?! I know, I know...it's a little (ok, maybe more than a little) narcissistic. Pagbigyan nyo na ko, friends. :) Just for practice purposes :) Thanks again to Bambi for the advice. This whole digital scrapbooking bit is way too addicting!
