Birthday Minnie
I haven’t been around for a while.
Basically, I’m trying to achieve some normalcy in my offline life when I took a little leave online. I’ve been an overflowing bag of mixed emotions lately and I’m trying to sort things out one step at a time. Yeah, some last quarter of the year drama, huh.
But let’s not get into that.
Today has been a tiring day. The Little Lady went to Girl Scout Camp in school, so we both woke up early on a Saturday morning. I left her in the school gym at 8:00 am; took breakfast at Wendy’s while waiting for the malls to open; did a little shopping for Christmas presents and art materials for both the Little Lady and I; picked up something at the printing shop; fetched her at 3:00 pm and grabbed some snacks at McDonald’s before finally heading home.
Around the same time last year, I’m almost finished with my Christmas shopping. But this year, my hoarding skills have been put to rest and I wonder why I seemed to have lost the zest for early shopping.
Hard times? Not really. I can always find an expensive looking present for a quarter of the price. It’s a gift that I believe I’m born with. :) So I guess this still points to the last quarter of the year drama. Oh, well...
Apart from whiling my time away at the mall, I was also there to get my pretty little niece, Gia, a gift for her 2nd birthday. It’s her birthday today, but she’ll be having a party tomorrow at Jollibee.
Yesterday, I made her this rush birthday Minnie Mouse tarpaulin that I'd like to share for Scrapbook Saturday (although this is not technically a scrap page, but I already missed 2 Saturdays! Sorry guys!):

Aren't you good getting your Christmas shopping in early, I tend to leave mine till the last minute and then do it on the internet :-) Hope your not too shattered, I'd put my feet up for the rest of the weekend! Your niece looks very cute and I love the pic you've posted, no worries, we're just delighted to have you join in :-)Have a great day and a super weekend!
It's still cute, though!! :) Happy SS!
Ah blogging break I did that couple months ago too. I hope your okay now. Re Christmas shopping ako din I used to hoard stuff even before Christmas stuff I want to give as gift to inaanaks, pamangkins and friendships pero ngayon I stopped narin kasi di naman lahat nagpupunta na tumatanda na hehehe. So I will just stock on gift certificates mas madali disposable hahaha.
By the way, I am celebrating my blog 1 year anniversary and I would like to invite you to join my giveaway. Details here. Sali ka ha.

This is really cute tarp, though! Unique SS entry :-) Your niece is lucky to have an artist aunt.
That's a lovely picture of you & your daughter.
Thanks guys! I haven't done my SS for quite sometime as I've been very busy. Still, it's so sweet of you to stop by. :) *hugs*

I still haven't finished my Christmas gift list! lol. I'm trekking to the mall every now and then to pick up stuff for my godchildren.
As always, thanks for the thoughtful words. I really appreciate it. :)
@ earthlingorgeous
Thanks! I'm good as new. :) Yeah, maybe this slowing down is already age related. lol. Thank you for the contest invite. I joined it!
