older?

it's 3 am and i found myself wide awake after just an hour of sleep. it's the temperature {or not}. i wouldn't believe my grandma if i am not beginning to experience it myself. she would often tell us that as you grow older, the lesser sleep you need {not probably the most accurate word}. but lately, my body {and mind} can only take a few hours of sleep {power naps}. afterwhich, i'll get up and do the laundry {hihi}. anyway, just give me a few weeks like this and i am sure i'll be wanting that more-than-8 hours-of-sleep to get energized.

digging deeper, i feel that scrapping is the culprit. {yeah baby}. i often lay awake thinking of all the projects i wanted to finish. the pages i wanted to do. {if only work and responsibilities don't come first}. well anyway, this just gives me a good reason to finish off another busy week and finally be able to scrap.

will leave you with a picture that my JP took with my camera {nice shot `e?}


this cute baby girl is now a big girl. preparing to be a big sister already. hihi.

wishing you all a great week ahead. :-D

what's simple is true

the more i live
the more i know
what's simple is true
i love you

{been inspired by her for ever}

happy weekend everyone! :)

yummy!

have been craving for chocolate cake for weeks now. we attended a birthday party last sunday and had some chocolate cake. but knowing myself, i need {have} to binge when it comes to chocolate. so, i went out there (on the web) to look for a simple chocolate cake recipe. came across ina garten's chocolate cake and i have been wanting to do PW's delicious baked fudge, so yesterday was a fine day for all these chocolate goodness.

frosted the cake with the leftover frosting when i made this last week. Mmmm-Mm...i couldn't get enough of the whipped cream on my baked fudge that i gotta have it on my cake too. :-D
and i can no longer bake unless i make a batch of my fave peanut butter cookies and ina garten's chocolate white chocolate chunk cookies. yum-oh!

now, to more yummy stuff - blog candies (thanks marix and timi for posting these)

karen, michelle, kath, nikki, dawn

please visit their' pages and leave `em some love. :-D

card patterns

sketches are growing on me. cards too. found my cabinet full of stickers and this one is just so perfect for a love card.

this is for card patterns sketch #4

materials used: sticker for the sentiment, DCWV textured cardstock, white acrylic paint, AAS PP, white posies, violet chalk (for the flowers), ribbons and red rhinestones

thank you for the weekly sketch card patterns. hoping to make at least one card each week using their sketch. {hope i can keep up with this commitment, hihihi}. TFL!

thank you

"forever you'll stay in my heart"

submitted this layout for PinoyScrapbookers' Kaya 22. haven't really been that active with my scrapbooking {an irony to one of my resolutions, that is to use up my scrap supplies, heehee}.

when domestic responsibilities get the best of you, i am just glad that challenges such as the PS Kaya Challenge gives you something to start with. this month's challenge is by Tita Marissa. stitch me a song. of course, who else will i be scrapping with the title of my post? heehee.

hope everyone started their week well. God bless y'all. :-)
