My Google Reader is bursting with starred items from blogs around scrappy land and I have a lot of things I want to start on but never really get to have the chance. lately, the only I thing I do with my iMac is open Excel, work, type in a Word Document and think about getting a wireless cherry keyboard for my niece’s tablet.

Here are some projects I have bookmarked for future references and inspiration:
1. 12 for 12 Project by Celeste Smith – would want to do this even if it’s already May!
2. Work Layout Diagram by (the) Cathy Zielske - must.DO.this – perfect documentation of everyday life, don’t you think?
3. Gratitude Journal examples – enough said. Great therapy. Lovely exercise. Nice outlet. Inspiring positivity too!
4. Preserving K12 Memorabilia – need to do this soon.
5. Elise Baha’s blog – her whole blog is reeking of inspiration. I urge you to check her out, and add her blog to your feeds – you would not be disappointed!

I did dismally for the photo a day challenges for March and April so I am hoping I can finish May, which starts tomorrow. I particularly am thinking what I can photograph for #25 – unusual. Should I take pictures of the hoyo de monterrey cigars I found in my dad’s humidor box?

So who is with me?
I hope May will be as great as April for me!

I can’t believe I missed March! (pho-hoo!) March was an insanely busy month, with us going on last minute trips, dealing with the best cpa network, attending school functions — it was a never ending list.

Today…

Outside my window…it is a cloudy day. A bit hot since it is summer, but we are grateful it has not been as hot as the previous days (temperatures shot up to 35C).

I am thinking…of my son lately, and how I can help him in his current stage in life. Puberty is a frightening stage, especially if you cannot explain things. We are so grateful he is so open with us.

I am thankful for…the graces we have received and are receiving that past two months. I will miss it extremely when all goes back to normal next month.

From the kitchen…lemon iced tea – my brekkie.

I am wearing…shirt and ratted leggings.

I am creating…sketches and a masterplan how to get caught up with CT assignments this week.

I am going…to be watching the kids start with their swim class later. I am thinking if I can join them.

I am reading…no books for me this month yet.

I am hoping…I get paid this week (pleeeeease)!

I am hearing…cartoons on TV. Quiet day for the family this morning.

Around the house…I’m in my work table, Marts is watching TV and drawing, Edil is in our room playing with his iPhone, Matthew is in his room reading a book.

One of my favorite things…notebooks and a good Pilot retractable pen!

A few plans for the rest of the week…swim class, Kumon, therapy for Marts, work, pray that I get paid.

A picture I love:
My family, enjoying nature for a change.

If you have a child who is musically-inclined, loves to sing or owns a Toontrack and you would like to do a scrapbook page about it, here are some element packs you might find useful. These are from the The LilyPad.

Let’s Make Music by Jacque Larsen

A fit for both your boys and girls – I am putting these on my wishlist. Maybe I can get them in DSD:

You can only get these amazing kits until APRIL 30! Gourmet Gift Baskets for Mother’s day is a great idea, but getting a scrapbooker mom an SSD gift certificate is an even better idea!

Choose from any of these, or better yet, GET THEM ALL. (Seriously amazing stuff). SSD has been constantly loaded every week ever since we took on board new designers – everybody is just inspired!

It is summer where I live and the kids are longing to swim in the pool, go to the beach or lock themselves up in an airconditioned room all day. We do not have a pool (we’d need a hayward pool pump for that) nor any aircon at home (a conscious green decision) so it’s a test of will everytime we are locked down at the house with no plans of going out

But there is one thing to look forward to next week!

The amazing Ali Edwards is doing her annual Week in the Life album project next week (She starts on Monday). I am thinking I should join. I have not been as good in taking pictures lately and I want to go back and get recharged with documenting everyday life again.

I believe I am all set for Project Life for the whole year. (No, there aren’t alpinestars gloves in the box. I don’t need any!).

These is a shipment from Amazon:

I know most of you are really itching to ask whether or not I am “caught up” with Project Life.

The ANSWER would be a RESOUNDING NO.
I am done with Week 9 but we are now on Week 14 so I am 5 weeks behind. I have to be honest, this makes me really nervous. I have week 10 and 11 on my mind and have a general feel on how I want them to look like but the past two weeks were a blur that I am sure that I will be STRUGGLING with weeks 12 and 13.

But I will get caught up – after Easter.
I am committed to share my progress in my blog.
Stay tuned for that!

If you have a child who is a music-lover and might even have the Zvex Fuzz Factory already, scrapbook his love for music with these musical-themed digital scrapbook kits from Sweet Shoppe Designs! My daughter is now into the rockstar phase, loving Katy Perry and Taylor Swift and my son is now learning how to play the guitar so I am thinking any of these kits will work:

VOIP, or voice over internet protocol, has radically changed the way people across huge distances communicate with each other. A growing number of people prefer to communicate through IP networks such as the Internet. The main reason for the popularity of VOIP is the significantly lower cost compared to going through the usual telephone network.

Because of its popularity, many VOIP phone service and VOIP service providers have sprouted and are gaining some loyal clients. If you are just planning to get a VOIP phone service provider, then you could get confused and overwhelmed with the numerous options available to you. The website WhichVOIP.com provides you with information on VOIP providers to help you choose the right one for you.

The site is a treasure trove of information on all kinds of VOIP providers from residential VOIP, large to small business VOIP, mobile VOIP, and many more. Even though a lot of the information can get a bit overwhelming upon your first arrival on the site, a quick browse will quickly help you get a feel of how to focus on particular details that you may be interested in.

Among the best features of the site WhichVOIP.com are the comparison tables on various VOIP providers. These tables let you see in a single page all the VOIP providers in a particular market and lists each of their plan highlights, rates, setup fees if any, long distance features, a link to more plan details, the VOIP review score, and a link to the provider’s website. With WhichVOIP.com, you will not spend as much time mulling over which VOIP service provider to use.

The weather might be getting crazier every minute but it doesn’t keep me from wearing what I am in love with at this very moment – maxi dresses! They are comfortable enough to wear on a summer day, just choose a light material and cozy enough to wear on a cold day, just by layering up on scarves and jackets!

Here are some of the fenn wright manson dresses I am eyeing:

Fenn Wright Manson Silk Maxi Dress
A dramatically beautiful chiffon maxi dress by Fenn Wright Manson – the leading occasionwear brand. Styled in luxurious pure silk chiffon with pleats and gathers for a lovely swing and sway, the pull-on wrap-style gown has side zip and flute-edge hem.

Fenn Wright Manson Graphic Maxi Dress
Flattering maxi styling in beautifully soft jersey and a versatile black, khaki and cream graphic print

Fenn Wright Manson Jersey Maxi Dress
This swirl-print stretch jersey maxi dress by Fenn Wright Manson is a beautifully cut and super-versatile summer style. Pull-on with V-neckline and empire panel with shoestring tie detail.
