Ive been busy these past two or three (lost moment) days. last sunday, waiting for my husband to finish his layouts. i cant complain, i saw him racking his brains to do these two layouts. definitely a labor of love. he finished close to midnight.
second mission accomplished : last night – i’ve actually done something with the album that i got from michaels. after squeezing my brain on how to make something so simple look special for our big day, i gathered some scraps that ive used for my chopsticks (which i still havent gotten myself to work on) some stuff that were given away to us at work (freebies are always good), some staring at the ceiling… i finally came up with this. im happy with it. neil had some input on it. although its quite hard to explain to him what i want to do with all those raw materials, i had to sort of lay it out for him so he can visualize it. I think it turned out pretty well for my first attempt to use our products in layers. i got into my creative mode last night, i finished another project but maybe ill post it tomorrow. dont want to overload you with pink and browns… i found myself chanting “pink and brown pink and brown, everything pink and brown” it went on until this morning… =p
my third mission : ACCOMPLISHED TODAY! Neil has switched jobs. we usually carpool to work. poor thing has to wait til i get all ready to leave and drive to his work which takes about 20 minutes on surface street. now he’s moved to a job which, if we carpooled would not be such a good idea. still close to where we live but we are basically travelling opposite directions. itll take me about an hour to get to work considering that i have no choice but to take the freeway on rush hour and in california. yeah you know what i mean. a 20 minute drive can easily turn to an hour drive. He starts on thursday but we didnt get confirmation until monday. we decided not to purchase anything major (yeah like a car) until we are sure that he gets the job. it was a really crazy day today at work… stress stress, i had a couple of booboos, stayed 20 minutes later than i had to but after all that, we had to rush to orange to check out the car that we worked so hard for to find. hahaa not really hard but because of all my petty requirements and the fact that i refuse to pay more than i have to, plus the availability of the vehicle, we ended up going to toyota of orange…Got in at 630, left at 8-ish.
ladies and gentlemen, please meet the new member of our family… IKLOG. name derived from the translation of “Egg” in tagalog which is ITLOG, but growing up i had a hard time saying it with a T. Looks like an egg, dont you think? we are happy with the purchase. I told myself not to give into the sales talk of the add-ons, warranty, blah blah and the list goes on but i am weak… i gave in to some of them, after doing the math, neil and i think it’s totally worth it.
a mission a day… not bad. onto the next. darn i got to get to those chopsticks!!!
beads beads beads… it was fun making it, i found it really hard to find the perfect pattern of pink beads and nickel findings to combine with the brown beads…. here is how it looks
