Taking On Blog Challenges

Scrap-a-Little 2010 Challenges

One item in my 2010 "TO DO" List is to join scrapbooking challenges so that I will be inspired (or forced...LOL) to do layouts. Scrap-a-Little is one of the blogs I enjoy visiting frequently. I learn a lot from Ms. Helen Croft. She has plenty of tips, techniques and tutorials that she unselfishly shares with her readers and friends. I also love her challenges...my take on the February and January Challenges:

February Challenge [This LO is based on Sketch#5 of Pink Sketches.]



January Challenge

Update! Update! Update!

Twisted Sketches Challenge#036

Finally, I was able to update my Twisted Sketches LOs. The last one I completed was TS#008.

I still plan to do TS#s 009 - 035 when time permits (if my mojo doesn't desert me again, that is).

Here's my take on TS#036...



This picture was taken during our 2008 vacation in Baguio City. When the kids saw the totem pole, they posed and had their picture taken like so.

Thanks for looking!

The "Day-to-Day" ME!

All About Me Challenge #11

I had been working in a private bank for more than twenty-six (26) years and in a government institution for five (5). When I retired in 2005 and became a “stay-at-home” Mom, I knew life would become a pretty much predictable routine but definitely not a boring one because I believe that “Life is what you make it!”.

Here is how my day goes (not in any particular order)…



05:00 AM -
Wake up and go to the bathroom
Say morning prayers
Prepare F’s milk and apple cider vinegar – honey - juice powder concoction
Check breakfast table
Prepare F’s “packed lunch/snacks”
Wake F up
Make bed and turn-off lights, electric fan, etc.

05:30 AM onwards -

Check if DS2 is already awake and getting ready for school
Monitor the message boards [car schedule and grocery list]
Monitor service car (driver, maintenance, gasoline)
Confer with Ate Baby on what dishes to prepare for the day’s meals
Check email messages and FB account; go blog-hopping and net-surfing
Go to the grocery, if needed
Update Grocery Monitoring List
Watch TV, read or listen to music
Do some filing, updating of records
Take a nap (only when really, really sleepy)
Attend Parent-Teacher Conferences for DS2
Pay bills (mostly credit card bills)
Go shopping (at the very least, window-shopping)
Work on scrapping and other craft projects
Prepare house budget and kids’ allowance
Fix house (re-arrange furniture, change décor)
Hear Mass; visit chapel
Do evening rituals
Take baths
Say evening prayers

11:00 PM -
Go to bed

...but Life can be a chore sometimes! LOL!

"My Day" layout is based on Helen Croft's sketch#8 Scrap-a-Little. Thanks, Helen!

Stay scrappinpretty,
