Have you seen DDE’s newest mega kit, Penelope?
I made a layout with it:

I won from her first contest before and got offered a sweet guest CT spot as well – youll never know 
And with that I am off to look for North Carolina health insurance options for my relatives.
Im uploading all Cookie Challenges on 4Shared tonight and will share links. I took them after the challenges were over and many people were asking me about so I guess there is no need to take them down anymore 
ETA: This still hasnt been done, I have been busy with preparing stuff for my son to go to school this Wednesday and we have gone to the city to visit relatives so my internet access has been very very limited. The New York movers I have been talking to are also making me busy as my relatives are moving cross country.
This is a scraplift of Natalie Braxton’s This Boy, This Girl layout. Have I already mentioned how much I love Natalie’s work and how she is a person? I was able to CT for her for around 10 months and she has the kindest, most generous heart I have ever seen in digiland. I had to resign because I wanted to cut back on work and there were some nasty things happening around the digiworld that made me want to boycott scrapforums altogether (uhmm..I actually am not active anywhere anymore save for SSD which is my home). Anyhow, I thought Id share some of my process in creating a layout with you.
I have what you can call a notebook for ideas – it’s very tattered and worn in because Martha writes in it too – I write down things the kids say – or I blog about it. Then I look for photos and then the kits. Before when I was in a gazillion CTs, it was kits first before the story and now I realized my kids wont care less about the kit – so I reverse even if it is harder.
I also am a big fan of templates – templates I make for my own personal use This makes my work so faster. I have saved templates of shapes I used and created.
Inspiration – I always always drowned myself in paper inspiration ideas (2Peas!). I rarely look at digi layouts because sometimes there are digi layouts which have no room for journaling which I cant live without – this is just me though. Clean, simple, linear I love that I have found my style.
Then I create.
June is just around the corner, I want you to look at all the layouts you have made this year and ask yourself – are these layouts Ive invested time and money from will make my kids smile? Will they be able to understand? Will they hear and read my story?
I look at mine and Im just 75% satisfied.
No worries there. Im close to finding how I want my memories to be recorded.
And that is all that matters

Anyone tell me what a glass sink looks like?
LOL. Yes! Cindy, my co-host for the Cookie Challenge, featured my layout for the challenge last week. I hope you can play along
You can download the cookie here.
And I recycle my own layout and came up with something different!! I love it.
I have been getting really organized with my process in creating layouts lately and I love the output – more stories, more memories documented for the kids. It may not work for some, but it really works for me. Ill share more on my next post. I got to check some home gyms available for sale. The husband is keen on getting me one
Nakasali uli ako.
Eto ay ang tubig na makikita sa harap ng aming bahay tuwing umuulan. Hindi pa namin napapaayos ang aming alulod kaya’t nakikinita kong maraming ganitong pangitain sa darating na tag-ulan
(This is the water puddle you can see in front of our house everytime it rains. We havent been able to fix the roof gutter(?) so Im pretty sure this will be a constant sight this rainy season).

Was on a scrapping spree last Friday and managed to get four layouts done. (I hope I can make 30 layouts this month and my project hybrid album.
You can click on the images and you will see the credits at my Flickr.
Now about my weight loss, Im still stuck at a 10lb loss. I need to get moving so I can burn more fats and sweat! The weather here has been extremely cozy and cold – perfect bed weather! Plus I have been scrapping in my very precious free time so exercise has been pushed to the back burner. I MUST find a way to prioritize.
I just have to blog about this! Kay Miller has taken a break at designing but has come up with a Triple Dip with Robin and Manda to produce this very cute kit – Raggedy Annie! Im not even done playing with it yet!
Here is a layout I made – I made this in less than 45 minutes because I had an image of what I want it to look already. The longest part was extracting Martha but everything just flowed – I love it when that happens I got inspired by one of my fellow Sugarbabes’ gallery for this – Sarah (my3hens). I have been doing a couple of graphic layouts for Kay before but have never thought of doing this till now.
I am off here (Im blogging at 4AM) because Edil is here and we need to catch up on each other. Most of my friends are on vacations (like going to the beach and checking out North Padre Island rentals) so we are stuck here at home
