I guess you'll have another one?

Arghh!!! Getting tired of that question. They are pertaining to the fact that once again we have another girl. These are the questions and comments of people ever since they found out we were having a girl for the third time.

I guess you won't stop until you get a boy?
Huh?!? Of course not! Having girls has been so much fun for me or even with Rico. I don't think a baby boy will complete our family..we are already complete.

Why don't you try another position?
Really??? That works??? Hahahha...funny...but I don't think that works lol!

Wow three girls...pambayad utang?
What?????????!!!???? I don't believe that my girls should be the ones to pay the mistakes we had in our past.

You already have three...what's another one? Maybe it'll turn out to be a boy.
Every time they tell me this comment...I just smile. What else can I say you know? People think just because we don't have a boy that we aren't contented. I believe that there's a reason for everything. Maybe we are just meant to have girls. I heard stories how boys are totally different from girls and I don't think I would be able to take care of a little boy especially I'm always by myself.

We hope that Jessela would be the last baby we'll have. No, we are not going to try for another one in hope for a little boy. I know that Rico wants a little boy..all Daddies do...as for me...I'm always happy having a little girl but he knows that having another baby does not guarantee a boy. He also knows that his genes determine the sex of the baby and his family is full of girls. Like I said we are not going to try for another one because number 1) I'm getting old hahaha I don't think I can handle another one. 2) I don't think we can afford four kids especially if they are all girls. Girls are expensive you know. 3) If the baby turns out to be a boy, I would feel bad that he is the only one and does not have a boy playmate.. he might turn out to be gay hahaha or worse would always feel out of place.

To make sure we won't accidentally have another baby we are thinking of permanently doing something to prevent that from happening. But we are still thinking it through because it's permanent. I told Rico if he wants another baby..HE better be there all the time to take care of the baby. I won't go through another pregnancy without Rico there and worse having him away from us when we have kids to take care of. It's easy to give birth but the hard part is to take care of a little newborn. I don't mind the two older girls because once they are older they get easier to take care of but a newborn has so many needs and if you are by yourself...it's very tiring and drains your energy so fast. So most likely Jessela would be the "bunso". And I'm happy having three girls...it feels like I have triplets. And I love dressing them up. It is so fun! Plus they are just the sweetest little girls..always saying "Mommy, I love you." Just melts my heart.

Enough of me rambling...share my new scrap..this one is Jessela's:

Belated Happy Thanksgiving

I know it's a bit late but just want to greet everyone here in the States Happy Thanksgiving. Been busy that's why I wasn't able to drop by and greet all of you Happy Thanksgiving. Hope you had a wonderful turkey day with your loved ones. As for us, we celebrated it at my cousin's house. The girls had fun playing with their cousins while I was busy taking care of Jessela lol. Rico had a duty this weekend so he wasn't able to come home but it's okey what's another thanksgiving again right? lol...we're used to it by now. Then Black Friday I woke up at 4:30AM to go shopping with stepmom while my Dad watched the kids. Gosh it was CRAZY in the mall. First you couldn't find parking at 5:00AM then lines were everywhere. I was getting dizzy because there were too many people and I was standing in line for so long. I only dropped by four stores because I just couldn't handle it anymore. I feel I was going to pass out from heat and from standing too long. I dropped by Crazy 8(which is like Gymboree), Disney Store, The Children's Place & Carter's. The worst was in Disney Store, the line was hilarious. There was a line to get inside the store and the line to pay goes around the store. Thank God stepmom was there I waited while she shopped, then she waited while I shopped. Then when I got home I did shop at Gymboree.com and Macy's.com because I wasn't able to go there at the mall. I just couldn't handle the lines anymore. I would rather pay shipping than wait in line for hours. I did SEVERE damage on our savings hahaha and to think all of the things I bought were for the kids. As in nothing for me or for Rico. Argh!!! Raising girls are EXPENSIVE. What I spent could have bought me a Louis Vuitton bag...yes...that's how much I spent. Thank God Rico wasn't here...at least he won't know hahahha or else he'll never allow me to go inside a mall anymore lol. We were going to the outlet stores today but I backed out because I just can't shop anymore. I have to stop myself before I spend all our money hahaha. So that was our weekend...hope you guys have more luck on self-control than me. Have a great week ahead everyone.

Sharing my newest scrap...This was inspired by Yen's layout called {Beautiful}:

It's all about Jelynn

Jelynn has been doing pretty good in school. I still cannot believe how fast her transition was. I never thought she would love going to school but she does absolutely love it. Even when she's not feeling good she doesn't want to be absent. She keeps telling me to make her appointments to the doctor or to the dentist after school. We got her report card last week. They have different grading system ...it's 1, 2, or 3 making 3 the highest meets and exceeds requirements. She got about 95% 3's so which was pretty good. She was even tested on things her classmates weren't tested on. They tested her reading level because she is a good reader and the result was mid first grade. Her teacher has only good things to say about her and I feel so proud. Hopefully she'll continue to love school.

Anyways, because I talked about Jelynn I'll share some layouts I've done recently of Jelynn. Here they are:

Thanks for visiting..Have a great week everyone!

RAK by an amazing scrapper

I usually don't do RAK for other people people I KNOW I don't do justice to their photos but since my CT with O.N. design are having photo swap I had to do it hahaha. I was RAK by Zsaliza who does wonderful pages. And here's a page she did of Jelynn:



I cannot stop looking at it. She did such a beautiful job. I did a RAK for her it's on my DST gallery. I don't want to post it here because she might not like me posting her son's photo so if you want to see it's in my gallery at DST.

Time to start printing

It's time to start printing all my layouts. I have neglected to print ever since I got pregnant. I did order one photo book consisting of layouts of both the girls but since it was my first time I didn't know that they cut a little bit of the edge so the edges were a little cut. I have to reprint them and order another book. And I think the more pages a book has the better so it'll look like a real book talagah. I have so many layouts done so I can about 50 pages in one book if they'll let me put that many. Will show them to you guys when I get them. Show me yours too I love looking at layouts I know that some of you has been doing layouts so you can order your photo books. Show them when you finish. Okey I'm off.

Layout share once a again

I badly needed to scrap because of my CT requirements even though my two CTs are really great I feel bad not doing anything. They told me it's okey if I won't be able to do anything for awhile. But then that would be unfair for them so everytime Jessela takes a nap I go to the computer and try to do a layout. After so many days I finally finish a layout. Here's a layout of the Jelynn & Jewelle:

Hopefully I can scrap some more since I have soooo many goodies to play with. But that will depend on Jessela's schedule lol.

National Digital Scrapbooking Day

Did you guys shop? Well of course I did hahaha. And I spent SO much money so now I'm broke lol. There were too many sales everywhere but what I raided most was The Lily Pad. They were giving so many coupon codes throughout the weekend and I got lucky and grabbed some of them. Some of the coupons were up to 60% off. Here are what I grabbed over the weekend:

November purchased kits/elements by princessj0yce

I promise not to shop anymore until Black Friday heheheh...this should last me for awhile.

Shopping time

It's only the first day of November and I've already spent some money already buying some digiscrapping elements and kits. It's National Digital Scrapbooking Day this weekend so there are so many sales going on and since there are some stuff I have been eyeing at Funky Playground..I dropped by over because they are having sales all throughout the week. Here are what I grabbed:


This would be perfect for Baby JE's photos. I love the colors...not too feminine.

Like Cats and Dogs

I swear my two oldest girls fight like cats and dogs. They bickering is nonstop when they are both home. We only get peace around here when Jelynn is in school. But when they are both here they would fight about the toys, the food, the computer, the TV. But I know even when they fight and bicker like any other sisters/siblings out there I know how much they love each other. Everytime I get mad at one of them, the other one will defend her sister. I wish that even with all the bickering they would continue to be close to each other no matter what. Here are some of the layouts of the two oldest when they are not fighting lol.

Layouts share

I got so many layouts that I want to share with you guys. It's been awhile since I shared a layout. I have been doing layouts a lot to compensate for all the digi shopping I have been doing lol. I think I'm running out of pictures to scrap hahaha. Since I wasn't able to do the Scrap Addict this week since I couldn't find a flower or a graden theme I thought of just sharing my layouts I've done. Here they are: It was Jewelle's photos turn to get scrapped. I have a few more to share will share next time. Credits are in my DST Gallery. Thank you for looking. Have a great day or night!

Scrap Addict Sundays

It's been two weeks since my last entry to the scrap addict meme. I just didn't have any photos with animals in it hehehe. My girls are never fond of them. That's why we don't go to the zoo as often as I would like. They find it really boring lol. So anyways, here's my entry for this week's Scrap Addict.

Theme: Swing

Credits: Paper and Border by Mindy Terasawa Alphas, elements, negative strip frame by Laura Deacetis Flowers by Robin Carlton

And here are a few layouts I've done last week...Just some old photos of Jelynn.

A bunch of layouts

What keeps me busy these days? Digiscrapping. Yes indeed I have been doing layouts after layouts. I want to get another shutterfly photobook so I have been inspired to do layouts plus when Baby Je comes out I'll be busy with the baby's pictures that I won't be able to scrap the girls' old photos heheh. I still haven't done the girls' baby albums hahaha. I'm the queen of procrastination. I have a reason though most of their "old photos" which were not digital are back in San Diego so I have to wait until Rico gets home so I can have him search the storage for all the pictures the girls' have over there. Then I have to scan it...arghh! lots of work lol. We should have bought digital camera when we had Jelynn so we don't need to scan old pictures lol. Anyways, here are my latest layouts.

Credits are in my DST Gallery.

Two of those layouts are for my CT. Yes I thought of trying to be part of a creative team again. I was asked to be a CT for O.N. Designs and I couldn't refuse because I only need to do two layouts a month plus their stuff are gorgeous. I applied for Scrapkitchen designs because I love her swirls. They are to die for and if you look at my layouts almost all of them have some kind of swirls lol. I'm addicted to them.

Well trhat's about it...hope you all have a great day. Thanks for visiting always!

My world revolves around you

I made this layout with all the catscrap goodies I've gotten from their anniversary sale. It's about my three kids. They are and will always be my world. I know that I have them at such a young age but if I can go back and change my life over again I wouldn't change a thing because they make me the happiest person on earth. They are the inspiration in everything I do...and I don't care if people say how can she handle three young kids all at once? I'm not a perfect mom but I try to be a good one. I know there are going to be difficulties along the way but if I can just see them smile and hear them say I love you..I know everything is all worth it...

Anyways, back tot he layout..here it is.

A new layout

If I'm not blogging, I'm usually doing a layout in my computer. I have been having fun doing layouts maybe because I have a bunch of kits and elements I recently bought and I just can't wait to play with them all. I don't want those beautiful elements to just sit in my external hard drive so I have to start using the before I can buy new ones hehehe. Here's my latest one:

I actually scrapped that photo before but it wasn't in 8x8 so I had to redo them if I want to stick it inside our album.
