I'm afraid I don't have any blog readers anymore... (long post.)

and its my fault... after a month of no updates, what can I expect. I'm so sorry guys... I've been wanting to update my blog for the longgggeeeessssttt time now - regularly, but I have a few issues with my health that stopping me from doing this. I use to be very productive at night... doing all sorts of stuff and one of them are scrapping and updating my blog. But sometimes, after dinner, I feel so tired and just wanting to rest. I really hope that this is just a simple thyroid problem thats causing all these and I hope the doctors here will be able to figure that out soon. I really want to be back my normal self to be able to do the things I like whenever I want.

Of course I am still scrapping... that is something very difficult to give up. Its something that makes me happy and fulfilled. But I do it whenever my body permits. And for the past weeks, there are lots of things going on and I would like to share them to you...

First... I'm so happy to share that I'm on Scrapbooking Memories Vol. 12 No. 4 I was so happy that they've asked me to do a product challenge for the magazine. I was asked to play with Bo Bunny goodies and I just had a blast with it.and here is the page...It's such an honor doing this...And here is my mini book.....There you have my Bo Bunny Mini Book.

And I finally took the plunge at using these....

Will be sharing my first 3 cards using Copic Markers on my next post. So fun coloring!!!
Thats it... I hope my readers will be visiting me here again... will really try to update this regularly again... See yah and thanks for reading!
