I'm sick ....

I think I seriously need to start crafting or else I will fall off the artsie wagon and land face down on the artsie-free land.... I'm sick again.... Cause of stress of course... hehehe. I should be asleep but I felt the blog itchin' so here I am. I really really miss it... Then again I shouldn't let anything stop me from crafting and bloggin' anyway. I went to Viva Las Vegas again last weekend ... and boy this time it was party and buffet time everytime... hahahaha. It was nice until we had some nonsense drama... hahahaha I had a blast the girls though.... my co workers are super.... I like having fun with them hehehe I'm one of the youngest that's why.. hahahaha. So Anyway I plan to finally fix me up a space in our super tiny cozy home.... so I can whisk my self away to artsie land.... where I really need to be... so for now .... I love ya and super miss everyone.... I will get myself back up and running my PINK artsie world...................

YES! I am still alive and CRAFTIN'

Thank gudness.... I have been away for 2.5 months and I have been sick out of my mind without Blurfing and CRAFTING. I have tried crafting every once in a while when I am not stressing and bringing things from work so I can work for free at home. (ggggrrrrrr!) Oh How I've miss my PINK BLOG. I love the new look. hahaha I'm complimenting my own page. So here are the rundowns of my disappearance.....

1. Moved into the new tiny apartment .... cozy.... ya when it's cold... HOT! like a mofo in an oven. Our very very old wall heater gives out hot air that super circulates around the apartment and heats the place up like it's 45 degrees outside. And our supposed NEW stove does the same cause of the lighting thingamajig... I don't know what the heck they call it. . Here's a current picture of my luvees.
2. I went to my first ever bachelorette party for my h.s. best friend in LAS VEGAS. OMG drank and whew! it was way wild for me. Though I felt really bad cause I had no idea how to really party like them all. I some time felt left out but hey that's only because I was the VIRGIN among them all... (irony of being a mommy) hahaha I've never really party all my young and single life, I became a mother at 23 and never really thought of it even if I was able to go out anytime I wanted. We stayed in the lovely Bellagio Penthouse suite.... and here's our view.

That's Lori in the picture on the left, That's one of the 2 rooms we had. The picture on the right is the entrance and the mini bar....My friends are a frequent comers there so we brouight our own alcohol. there were more just didn't get to take a pictures of it all.

    3.    I went to the Wedding.... of course I didn't get to take a good picture of myself but the bride was

           so so so beautiful....

   4.     I still don't have my office at work hahahaha. The DON who used to be the coordinator has not let

           yet let go of her old office to give it to me so her way of making it up, she lets me use the directors

           office so she can hang on and reminisce her days in the bathroom stall size office of MINE.... hahaha

      I guess that's about the only real highlight...Anywhoot... I will be getting back to crafting and posting daily as soon as this mid week. I've been working on Marion's Mini albums for the GGS club. I feel so bad I've lagged in mailing things in time. I'm really not liking the whole all work and no play for me... ;-( I'm sure it'll get better. Okie doks. .... Gotta get back to work.... Just wanted to update my PINK world... And also

Thank you everyone for still comin' by the PINK blog.... MISS YOU ALL! Sistahs....

Yikes! Bloggin' break for the month of JUNE....

Yup I HAVE to take a break because now I'm really in the window of taking things out of the old and into the new. We just finished painting yesterday and will be really busy for the next couple weeks. Working 6x a week ain't helping either, though I get more money and a little to spare for our artsie addiction.... I'm so so tired at the end of the day I get clueless when sitting in front of the craft table. I will definitely post some artsie creations that I've done every now then... Thanks to everyone who still comes by and visits me here. I will definitely come by your blog soon enough. But for now see ya all in 2 weeks..... oh wait I forgot my blogversary is at the end of the month hopefully I can manage fixing the new place and whooo hooo blog candy.....
I leave y''all with my Girls Gone Scrappy June Kit....

Can ya say diSTRESS...... hahahaha

Here's the back page...

XOXO to everyone.....

My crocheting skills.... hahah

So back in high school I was in sewing class. So so loved crocheting and knitting... After high school, wait , actually at the end of senior I decided to make myself a personalized blanket... With the letter J and my fave number 14... So I had made the pattern and went on making the darn JAInormous blankie... I have recently found it and it is still not done... hahahahahahah it has bee 9 years since I had made the darn blanket... here's how it looks right now....

My unfinished business hahahahahaha.

Since I've found my yarnigan goodies... I decided to make a flower... went on YouTube and learned from one of the gurus around... and here's what I came up with...

 looks funny but still tryin' to perfect it... whoo hoo now I just need to buy a smaller crochet hook..... hahahahaha....

So so mentally exhausted.....

So I have been having a blast working the new position but also very challenging since my teacher is pretty busy each and every day we work together. I don't blame her so I go to the next person I think of when I have questions ... HUBS hehehehehe. He's been my part teacher through this learning stage I am on. Also recently been reading along the maual when I get stuck in the process. Anywhoots... Along with this new position I am in the process of getting ready to move out. YES MOVING! physically and mentally stressful if you're working 5 days a week... I cannot even think of where I should start.. Yesterday I started sorting out the kiddies toys and I cannot believe how much they have. Some goin' to Pinas, some to store, and some to keep in the new tiny place we got. I have also been trying to figure out which color to paint the new tiny place to make it more comfortable for the family. So so busy for the past 2-3 weeks with all the shananigans I have gotten myself into hehehehehe. But here's a great project I have done for my big sistahs here in the bloggin' world of ours. ....
This is what I made for Big sissy JEN....




I hope she'll like it when she actually receives the darn package... hahahaha I take while to mail things because I don't drive so I have to wait most of the time for my hubs to take me hahaha. So so sorry but hey somehow I still get them to the person... hahahaha.

RAK from Sweet Joy....

My sweet bloggin' sistah Joy sent me this lovely HK goodie bag. and look at what's inside.... Whooo hooo...Can't wait to use them.... And I think Imma start making cute super adorable cards like Joy's.... I love her card. Its the most adorable ever..

      
       Please bear with me everyone for I have been so so busy with trying to learn the new position at work and finding a new place at the same time. I'm starting to feel the pressure cause I am currently not getting trained as well as I really would love to be so.... Thank god HUBS is around to teach me the ins and outs of it all. I think that the director before me has super high expectations from my part and so I teach myself while I work and rarely being trained cause she's out and about with her new Director of Nursing position. I know she feels bad cause she rarely has anytime to teach me well and to become as good as her. I just hope I do well in the end. She told me I only have till the end of next week to train and then BAM I guess I will be on my own (I think just like how I am right now.. hehehe)  I hope I learn more before I really go on my own. I love the new job and I hope to become one of the best in it.... hehehehe *crossing my fingers*
      I will be posting the raks I've gotten from sistah Jen by this weekend and will be posting a new envelope album that I made for Ms. Maria Bell... I hope she likes it oh yeah and the mini accordion album I made also for sistah Jen and another one for Joy. whoo hooo I was on a Mini album roll remember ... heheheheheh

Happy Mother's Day to Everyone....

Happy Mother's Day to all the mother's out there. Wish you all have one of the best days today. Unfotunately I have to work. The person I was hoping to work for me refused to work even if she really don't have any children...  :-( Mean for me to say but I just thought it was unfair since I asked her ahead of time. Ok enough boo hoos.. I just hope I get to see the kids and hubs later after work. Yokie Dokies....

Happy Mother's Day Mommies.....

My HULA babe...

Quick post. Have to go to work today and still have plenty of things to go over with the new position and all.. But love to share this lovely page with you all....

Happy Monday ....

And for those of you who loves a challenge.... Here's Maria's Christmas Stampin' All Year Long!

My Flourish Mini Me and U album.....

Ok ok here ya hahahaha... I'm really proud of my little work here. Well I mean I really really like it, of course I made it hehehe. I hope you guys do too...

Here's the 1st and 2nd page. I added a swivel chain with the charm that came with Marions kit. I also made a heart shaped pocket for that tag on the left. Then on the right page that clip with the ribbons is actually a pully for the picture mat.

Now here's the 3rd and 4th page.

I love this one too. I used the other envelope end and covered it witht he beautiful DPs and voila another tag pocket for another picture. I also added some rub ons to a few of the tags and pullies. and don't ya just love them flourishing... hehehehe

Now here's the other side of the book mark page..

Learning from the pro Marion... hehehe I tried the UTEE and also the embellishments are only attached on their ends so I can just slip in my pics... MJ for hubs and my initials.... hehehehe

page 5 and 6

Ain't it cute. I used another envelope technique for the picture mat with the heart chip fro the kit as well... Thanks Marion for the great set of embellishments hehehe.

the pic behind the tag page... with another swivel chain from TH collection.

Page 7 and 8

I might be doin' a video of showing you guys the album. Its really much better I explain cause I have a tinee sched today.. so I will just show and talk later K.

sowee....

and heres the back....

I will do my best in my artsie powers to create a quick video so I ccan better who you guys what I mean with my pullies and tag pockets...
