Free Templates.

I am scrapping once again. I finished two pages in two days. Both are fairly simple though and the other one is created from template. I normally want my photos to be the focus of the page but for those older, low-res photos of mine, I use those template with small photos to scrap them. So right now, more than free kits, I am in search of template freebies. My collection is growing but I do plan to trim them down in a while. Besides I am not using most of them anyway. Less choices, faster decision-making. Anyway, I should be looking into motorhome repair right now, but let me share some free templates first.

Buying Insurance.

I am not able to keep track of our life insurance anymore. They were supposed to be self-supporting after a couple of years. However, the insurance company keeps on adjusting our years to pay that I am not sure when our payment will end. You bet I am not liking this company anymore and so I am frequenting ComeToBarter.com looking for better life insurance packages. The only thing I need right now is the budget to pay for it. ;)

Layout Share: Book Shopping.

Old layout. I told you I am keeping them in draft just so I can have something to write in between. :)

Random.

How I wish I have been busy looking for and buying ATV Accessories, but I was just unproductive the past days. Both scrap-wise and blogging-wise. I need to jump start scrapping right now or else I might forget all about it.

I pray DS will continue to do good in school. He has a gold eagle. And I couldn’t be happier and prouder.

I hope the neighbors will be done with their construction as it doesn’t do any good to our allergies and asthma.

A reader commented on one of my posts about deleting my IG account that nowadays if you are not into any social networking, you’re nothing. True maybe for some. But as for me, I am happy with or without any of that social networking stuff. It’s not always fun. And I choose to interact only with people that I REALLY know.

Gift Shopping.

A package was delivered here today and though it’s work-related, it still felt fun to open a box. It made me think again of ordering knick-knacks abroad. Maybe some baking paraphernalia for me, those cute stuff that I came across at an online store earlier, gifts for Christmas, books and toys for DS and more. How I wish though that I have the budget to do so. But times are hard, I do not want to spend on unnecessary things. So yes shopping will be delayed, for now.
