Need Frame Ideas
For my eyeglasses that is. I think I will be needing new glasses very soon. I frequently squint at the monitor of my laptop and get eye strain quite often. Incredible Stylish New Frames From Zenni are quite a steal and a great bargain, I heard. Zenni Optical was on FOX news! I browsed around the Zenni Optical $ 8 Rx Eyeglasses area and saw this:
They are quite fashionable dont you agree?
The thing is I quite have a round face with a round nose so I have a hard time finding frames that look good on me.
Oh well.
Shopping for Unique Giveaways
There was a time when almost everybody I know are getting married so I have been getting the same souvenirs left and right - a CD of their favorite music! I have been on the lookout for unique wedding favors when I got married so we can be different - hence the refrigerator magnets. At least people got to use them, not just glass figurines (which just adds to house clutter!) The definitive destination for wedding supplies, The Knot Wedding Shop has top-quality wedding supplies and novelty items ranging from wedding cameras and ring pillows to personalized attendant gifts, cake toppers, and more! Many of these collections are the only ones available today that can be personalized with the couple’s names and wedding date.

Wii or PS3?
I had the chance to play bowling on Wii last weekend, and well, what can I say? I think this is the first time I enjoyed playing a video game since Mario Brothers when I was 9 :). It is totally addicting and now I want one!!!! Edil is still sold (and wont budge) on getting (or wanting is the correct word) a playstation 3. I want a Wii! I want this as a Christmas gift! And I never ever ask for anything during Christmas (Because before I can buy it myself, LOL. Ah, the disadvantages of having no work!). Anyway, Im sure if ever we decide to get one and money will not be an issue - we are getting it from the US. It retails here for 23k (pesos) while you can get it there roughly around $200-$300 
That’s cheaper by a hundred dollars!!!
Peppermint Creative Post NSD Blowout!
Piaget Watches
Who doesnt know a piaget watch? Ever since I can remember, the word “Piaget” has always been associated with watches. Not only ordinary watches but luxury, top of the line watches. The name derived from the watch maker, Piaget began producing movements for many other prestigious watch companies. The Piaget name has become synonymous with ultra-thin mechanical movements, most recently releasing the world premier ultra thin Tourbillon movement which was developed entirely in-house. Piaget watches remain the finest example of haute horologerie and haute joaillerie. Look at this Dancer Watch:
Isnt it beautiful? I always have a weakness for white gold watches. And it screams so “elegant” for me!
This Piaget Dancer Small watch in white gold features a 23mm case, white gold dial, bezel and hour markers set with diamonds, and a gold bracelet. (and the starting price is $25,000!). The web site I got this from, ViaLuxe is a watch for luxury items and I love how everything is categorized. It makes shopping (and window shopping) easier. They have a link for your favorited items and even keep a list of your recently viewed items. It is for members only so you better sign up! If you are a fan of watches, you better bookmark this site!
Spent.
I think this is the first time I ran out of kits to spend on at NSD! LOL. Most of the stuff I want are from my teams anymore so I didnt feel the need to shop anymore. Id just focus on getting more hybrid stuff for me. I plan to order some more chipboard albums from Robin and have them shipped to Amore, then she will ship them to me by LBC. Now, the scrapper shopper wants to shop for prima flowers and ink pads too. It never ends does it? I guess I need to use what I have bought so far! LOL.
Here is my album project for this month. Take note I have given myself the whole month of may to be able to finish a project (We will be extremely busy by next week for two weeks).
Now that I’ve written my goal, Im off to find the best possible acne treatment for my cousin.
NSD SALES
NSD Goodies.
Maybe this will help me be accountable. Jacq and I were talking about the need to scrap what we bought (she is doing good at that category while I havent even scrapped mine yet).
You can also see it here.
Now, I have a mile a list long at The Lily Pad, but I will most definitely be snagging up this awesome collab.
I want this kit by Madame Mim.
And I have worked with SMJ’s designs before and I know this will be such an easy kit to work with.
Now, with DD, I have a list a mile long too, but I might get goodies from Anna Aspnes.
Stay tuned for my product picks from my awesome creative teams (that will be a hard list to do since I love ALL the work they put out).
Here is the masterlist for NSD sales this weekend - don’t miss it = May 3 and 4
Sweet Keepsakes at SSD!
Going hybrid is going to be so much easier and sweeter with this new product line from SSD!
I am seriously so excited for this! Scrapping is this exciting for me as people who are hooked with the beer pong table are - they make me deliriously happy!
I just put in my order and hopefully I can get them by Wednesday. Now I just need to scout for a reliable but cheap printer to print out my projects. Any recommendations? I think Ill just go with a cheap one for now and if the bulk increases Ill just upgrade next year. I still plan to have my layouts professionally printed so all the hybrid just goes to the printer
SSD Saturday!
I just love SSD Saturdays!! I picked up Julie’s YesterYear: Baby Collection:
And this awesome Cross My Heart element pack:
It’s not often that designers come up with items that can help one scrap about their Faith so this is perfect! Look out for it at a challenge near you soon
Thanks to Black Friday…
Thanks to the black friday sale in the US, I was able to complete my Christmas shopping before Christmas and was able to save BIG. Of course, my friend Glo was there to shop for me. Online shopping with all the coupons were really a huge help too, because there was specifically a web site with all the deals going on - www.blackfriday.info! They are official site for all of the 2008 Black Friday ads as they are reported to the during holiday shopping season. Im always on the lookout for great deals on electronics and gadgets as we are a family who loves anything geeky - computers, entertainment and gaming systems, name it, we want to have it!!
Online shopping is better as the site gave coupons and didnt let people stand in line at stores at 5AM waiting for it to open!! There were even email alerts as coupons and deals come in.
And as a scrapbooker, what do we need? A new laptop, camera requipment and printer! I bet Best Buy coupons were included!
Last Black Friday, I shopped for toys, toys and toys. ToysRUs was bookmarked and refreshed a lot of times. The past Christmas was the first Christmas where my kids were spoiled rotten with gifts!
Safety Precaution.
If you have elders in the house, you need to make sure that their safety is top priority. They are more accident prone so you need to accident-proof your house. Slips and falls are common among elderly and these leads to complications since they are not that strong to battle infections anymore. For making sure they dont slip during bathtime, get them a padded seat for the bathroom. The Guardian Transfer Bench from Allegro Medical is a recommended seat.. It has suction cup footpieces that secure bench to tub floor so giving her a bath wil be easier. Allegro Medical is one of the largest and most technologically advanced independently owned online retailers of life enhancing products in the United States.
Shopping for Me.
By the end of the month, Glo would’ve sent the balikbayan box already. Nothing much is really in there, just a couple of linens, towels, a quilt set, and the cookware and cutlery sets I requested Glo to get for me. Now I have to work doubly hard to be able to pay! Im most looking forward to all the Old Navy Stuff I’ve bought - nope, no leather lingerie for me! I have bought some Bath and Body Works sets for selling here. I hope to earn more this coming month!
Home Shopping.
Well, not exactly shopping but also planning. We have been trying to get a nice bed in a bag for our king-sized mattress for a month now and sadly, those we like we really cannot afford. So what I have done is let my good friend in the US buy bed-in-a-bags for us - they are almost 50% cheaper there, with good thread count even!
So I have been kaboodling a lot of stuff — it is so nice to plan for your own house, even if it is rented!
Last Minute Shopping.
Old Navy had some very neat DollarBuster deals only for Saturday (Glo told me over YM yesterday) and we were shopping online together. She was such an enabler! She only checked out a few items, while I shopped for the whole family! LOL. This was the money I’m been keeping for “emergency use” just in case there would be last minute sales on the web, and Im so happy I kept saving it! I still have some money left, but Im keeping them for future use next year.
A Special Deal from Katie the Scrapbook Lady!
Christmas Kits!!
Those are just a few I have seen in digi-land. As much as I would like to just buy and buy and buy, I dont have a thousand photos and enough time to scrap like I want (unfortunately). And I can have all the Christmas kits at SSD anyways (dont forget Kay Miller’s!).

Let’s talk about Girl Stuff.
Ok. Help me out. Ever since I got married and had kids, I went completely clueless on what’s hot in the beauty department. What are your recommended bathroom vanities? What do you use these day - must have products and recommended brands? I want to be girly again! I think I need to stock up and cover the basic necessities first. What I would give to be given a make-over. *sigh*
