Weekend Photos

I finally got the courage to try taking pictures from my sister's SLR. I had fun and it's so addictive. Here's wht my lenses captured this weekend:

Hope I did ok for a beginner... TFL!

PhotoHunt: Words

PhotoHunt

I'm back!!! After long months of hibernating and just lurking around I'm finally finding my mojo (and spare time) back!

I found this wonderful site from Diane and Jenn's site. They love photography and their photographs truly inspires me. I wanted to develop my photography skills so when I graduate, I can pursue a photography career. And as a scrapbooker, it will also help me in capturing great photos. This week's theme is 'WORDS'. Here's my take on this week's challenge. Sorry for the crappy photo. I'm using my P&S and my sister's SLR was not focused.. still need to learn how to play with her Pro Cam.

I used scrabble tiles that my son is playing on the floor and spelled the words "I miss you" which what I really feel right now. It's been 1 year and 6 months since my hubby went to the States. I really wish everything will work out so I could see him soon.

TFL!

Welcome Baby CK

Finally gave birth to my little princess, Caitlyn Kirsten last Decemeber 14.

I went to the hospital on December 13 since I had a bloody show when I got home from school. My OB said my cervix isn't opening yet but I have blood. She asked me to be confined that night for observation. The following morning she checked and my cervix is opening so she ordere me to walk. So I walked all around the hospital, going up and down the stairs and at 6:30 PM I was taken to the Delivery Room. I had an induced labor since I was already 6 cm but the contractions are still irregular.

Finally, after 2 hours of labor pains I gave birth to a healthy baby girl at 8:49 PM and she's 6.5 lbs... All the pain is worth it..

PS-SE Mad Scrapper's Xmas Party

I had blast with my 1st PS-SE Xmas party last Dec. 6 at Bel-air clubhouse. Met some of my scrapper friends and newbies.. Of course my fave part... SHOPPING!!!!! Got to buy lots of goodies...

I also love the Human Bingo where we are asked to have the clues signed by that person being reffered and when completed be eligable to the raffle... I was on the list... THE PREGNANT SCRAPBOOKER (apparently I was the only one who attended the party, aside from Mitch Sy who is also preggy but was signee of Visual Creations). That game is fun and I'm planning to do that also for our family reunion on the 24th. We had a halloween party because we were asked to come in costumes... We also did a valentine layout then had an easter egg hunt (we hunted for paper eggs) for a RAK... The food was yummy and I was so happy I didn't mind if I'm pagod afterwards... We also had an elephant swap and ATC swap.

Here are some of that day's pics:

Here's what I made for the swaps and challenges:

And for the yearly SE Christmas Card Exchange I got Cabbie as my 'baby'. Here's the card that I made and I also included an altered cake board that I made into a memo board. I handed it to her during the party.. free shipping! Hehehe...

I'm looking forward to my next PS-SE Xmas Party!!! Until next year!
