Hi there my dear blogger friends! i hope you had a great weekend like me and even though i was sick for a couple days, my allergy was soooo bad :( good thing i'm all better now, i was able to finish seven layouts and two cards! especially yesterday after we went to the church, we watched football games all day with my dear hubby and at the same time i was scrapbooking. And because my last altered record was a hit hehehehe... i was so inspired to make another one using again my ARTFUL DELIGHT September kit. this layout was inspired by ONCE UPON A SKETCH September 1st sketch with the journaling Criteria : A memorable year - Your title must be a year, and you must journal at least 2 lines on why this year is memorable for you.

here is my layout-

indeed, we've been very lucky to spend more quality time with our kids this year. my days off are not always the same so we really have to plan everything ahead of time and thankfully my work approved all my extra days off :D. camping out has been our family's favorite thing to do this year- spring, summer, or fall we go camping LOL!

A BIRTHDAY GIVEAWAY!!!

***Edited***this giveaway has ended. thank you all for the love!!!....

Hello everyone! my goodness it's September already?! oh my, how time flies! like the title of this post says it's time for a birthday giveaway!!! my birthday is coming and i would love, love to to share with you all my blessings and i also, wanted to thank you all for following my blog, leaving me some love, and just for taking the time to stop by my blog. Even though i haven't been very active with blogging lately, that doesn't mean i don't scrap. i've actually finished a few layouts for fun and just couldn't find the time to share them with you.

let's move on with the giveaway details, shall we? i decided for my first birthday giveaway to give a $50 gift certificate from SCRAPBOOK.COM. with all the new releases who wouldn't wanna win $50?! and to win all you have to do is- first, follow my blog and leave me a comment on this post and if you are already following my blog let me know also by leaving a comment on this post. for a second entry, i want you to leave some love to one of the blogs you've been following (exclude my blog) the blog that you haven't leave any comment yet. you're probably scratching your head and asking why. the reason why is because i am terrible at leaving love and i want to change that. i do visit your blogs and enjoy reading your post and adore your creations but never leave any love. well, that will definitely change. i don't need to know who's blog you left some love to just leave me another comment on this post saying you left a comment to a friend. i hope i didn't make it too complicated. LOL! you ladies (and gents, if we have any) are smarties and i think you get my point.
so that it is- two chances for you to win the $50 gift certificate from SCRAPBOOK.COM and i will choose a winner using RANDOM.ORG. you have until September 24 midnight Pacific time to leave your comments and i will announce the winner on September 25. this giveaway is open to everyone including my dear friends from outside the United States. Good luck to all of you! Have a wonderful day! God bless and take care!
