catching up
Thursday, March 16, 2006
Ok, so I'm slowly catching up. It's going very very slowly, but yes, I do believe I'm catching up. But before I start to tell you what I've been up to since I got back from Singapore, lemme just share a bit more about my trip.
I've already told you to the work part of it, which was just really overwhelming. I went through my previous post again and got tired just reading about it. LOL! I did get some questions about what shoes I brought home from Sing. hee! You guys just know me so well eh? Well, let me tell you, I came home with nary a shoe stowed in my luggage. Alas, there was no shoe moment for me in Singapore. It's sad, really, and I did look. Hell, I even saw two of my own pairs of shoes on display at Nine West over there! But being the trooper that I am, and knowing that I deserved the retail therapy after the hellish week I had, I more than made up for it by buying myself new clothes. And I also spread the good fortune to my folks and Mr. S by buying them new clothes too. Damn, I just looove shopping! And yep, overworked my credit card again. *sigh*
Oh, I forgot to tell you. The weekend before I left for Sing? Well...um...I bought myself a new pair of shoes. Again. I just couldn't help it! Mr. S and I had dinner out with some of my relatives, and we got there early, so I told Mr. S that we look around the mall. I mean, who would've known that Nine West would have a sale there, right? And I saw this fantastic pointy shoes in a camel shade I didn't have, and it was 70 frigging percent off!!! Who in their right mind would pass up a steal like that?!?! LOL!!! Ok, so that's 4 pairs in 6 weeks. I should definitely stay away from the mall eh? Yeah, right...
So, any of you guys watch American Idol? Isn't Chris Daughtry just sizzling HOT? I swear, he is good enough to lick all over like a popsicle! LOL!!! Everytime he starts to sing, I get this goofy grin on my face. Worse than a groupie, I tell ya! But man, he is just SO DAMN HOT!!! I was really surprised with the bottom 3 today though. Oh, well not completely surprised. I mean, I knew Melissa would fry. I mean, c'mon! You forget the lyrics of the song in front of Stevie Wonder AND THEN decide to forget it again in front of the entire telly-watching population?! That just really nailed her coffin. But Ace? And Lisa? My jaw dropped when they were called. And Ace had the most adorable poor puppy dog look on his face when he was onstage, waiting for his verdict. I wanted to run up to him and give him a hug. But can somebody please get Kevin outta there? I have been praying for weeks for Chicken Little to get booted out. I don't think I can stand another performance from the guy. And don't you think he's getting a bit too cocky for his own good? I seriously think that HE thinks he's really a sex symbol. Helloooo?!?!
Anyhoo, before I left for Singapore, I've been busy designing a few things for RAKScraps, and I'm quite proud of one of the kits I made.
I named it Cool Melons because the colors reminded me of...well...melons. And how cool they are. LOL!!! I was uber thrilled when I got a message from Robin saying that they were using my kit as the freebie for the newsletter chat. Wow! It sure gave me the warm fuzzies!
And because I'm a showoff, here's the kit I made for RAK week. I named it Citrus Berries.
And here's my contribution to the February mega kit.
I've been having a ball designing, and it makes me all sorts of happy when others say how much they like the kits, and especially when I see layouts done with my kits. Such an amazing feeling! Warm fuzzies galore!!! Have you seen the preview of the March mega kit yet? Wowzers!!! Head on over to RAKScraps and check it out! I think Jeanine is releasing the kit tomorrow. And while you're there, join in on all the fun stuff happening! I'm presently working on another kit which will be given away in April, and the paint chip for April's mega kit is out too, and it's sooo fun!!!
I also managed to scrap a few pages! Woohoooo!!! Much as I love designing, I can never really let go of making layouts. Here's one that I made for Maybelle.

She was chosen as this month's winner in the Your Photo 5 Ways, where 5 members of the RAKScraps creative team will make layouts using her photos. I just love making pages for other people, and scrapping photos of her cutie patootie son was such fun!
Now this is one I made of Chloe. It's a bit of an old photo, taken last December. But I loved how it turned out, and the soft colors in this kit were so pretty!

So is that catching up or what?!? LOL!!! I hope to be able to do more layouts over the weekend. I have some awesome photos of Chloe which I took last weekend, and my mind is bursting with ideas.
Hope you guys are having a fantastic week so far! Friday is just around the corner, so there is reason to smile. LOL! Ciao, bellas!

Chica, that Cool Melons kit is one of the best kits I've ever seen, no lie! I was so bummed when I missed that chat! Anyway, you're awesome, an awesome scrapper, your gonna be an awesome designer, and I'm so glad I've gotten to know you over the last few months and am so incredibly honored to have you on my DT. Welcome home!
Kevin has to go, I totally agree! His voice is so annoying I want to put earplugs while watching.
Anyway, those kits are great Tin!
