29 Days of Gifts

I’ve noticed there aren’t that many freebies like before. Anyway, I’m off now to watch some bluray movies. I’ll post a layout later and scrap some more. Have a great weekend everyone! Enjoy shopping and downloading! Happy DSD!

And I’m done for the weekend. Well, I’m not really done yet but I’m already broke so the others will have to wait next time… there’s still Black Friday or Cyber Monday. Haha! I haven’t bought much this year so I guess I deserved to go shopping. Now, are you ready to see what I bought? They’re a lot actually but I got them for a very great deal and most of these, I’ve been really wanting for some time now, so, here you go….

My first stop was at After Five Designs for some of Catherine Designs’ kits. Everything in her store is 30% off plus I got an additional 10% discount as a subscriber to her newsletter. And then I had to go back to her store because I won a GC for posting a comment on her blog.

When I came back the second time, I also snagged these by Cafe J and K Studio (also 30% off):

On to the next stop. This one is short but sweet! I snagged a couple of alphas at Shabby Pickle Designs for only a dollar each. They have tons of $1 items but they’re too overwhelming for me.

Third stop is ScrapArtist. This one is short too. That’s where Anne deJong moved and, of course, there’s Laurie Ann.

And finally, the last stop, Jen Wilson Designs. I got these templates for only 50c each.

So, there you have it. Now, I have to go scrap!

Okay, iDSD haven’t even started yet but I already did some shopping. Haha! Actually, this has got nothing to do with DSD. I bought some Christina Renee stuff that I’d been wanting to buy for a long time now. She announced about a couple of months ago that she was retiring her products. Lucky for me, they’re still there and still hugely discounted. So, I thought they’re waiting for me. Haha! Below are the items that I bought and click here to go to her shop.

And now for the freebie. Below is the preview to a kit called Optimist by Peppermint. If you’re active int the digi forums then you’re probably familiar with her already. Just click on the preview to go to her blog and don’t forget to leave her a note if you download.

The International Digital Scrapbooking Day for this year is this weekend already and I am so not ready. I don’t have a list of what I want need to buy and I’m not done organizing my stash so I’m not sure which ones I already have. Sigh. And I’m sorry guys for not coming up with a list of sales this year. Just head on to this thread at DST, Carin is making a list there.

I am so out of the loop these days. I didn’t even know that Natalie Braxton and Anne De Jong are not selling anymore. Sigh. Anyways, I’m still a little busy. I’ve been helping my BIL with his San Francisco Job Search, they might leave for SF before the year ends. And aside from that, I’m also finishing my client’s album and have another one lined up. I also want to finish at least one photobook. I have coupons from ArtsCow and they’re going to expire soon. Sigh. So much to do, so little time.

Anyway, happy shopping this weekend. Don’t break the bank!

You read it right, Jessica Sprague is offering her final class for 2009 for free. Check it out and don’t miss out on this great opportunity. Click on the image to go to her blog for the full details.

You read it right, I am sick again. Well, sort of. Thank goodness my work is home-based and it’s nothing really serious… I’m definitely not someone who needs something like spine surgery Mexico. Nope. It’s really embarrassing to say so I’m not gonna. Let’s just say I have something which keeps me from doing things. Haha! I’m sure most of you are going to get it already. It sometimes hurts but most of the time it doesn’t but it is pretty hard to ignore. Haha!

We’re still in the subject of Catscrap’s new designers and we’re on to the next one… Dawn Inskip. She was just announced today! Her designs are so colorful and most of them are hand-drawn and hand-painted. She also have very unique products like the circuit board alpha, the colorful lizards, and who knows maybe one day even cad drawings. Haha! But seriously I love her stuff! You can find previews to some some of her products below and you can find the rest of her store here.

I’ve been so out of the loop, even with my teams, ever since I got sick and sort of became missing in action. A lot of things had happened like my aunt and uncle came to visit. I accompanied them to the countryside and even though I don’t know much about cars, I also helped them get their car fixed. Not really helped, I just accompanied them again and asked around where we could get custom headlights. And then there were the typhoons and some home stuff I had to think about.

So anyways, one of the things I missed to post here are Catscrap’s new designers. You probably know already who they are but I’m still going to post about them here. One post dedicated to each designer, of course. And first in line is none other than Joyce Paul Designs. If you love clean and elegant then you will definitely love her designs. I do and I can’t wait to get some free time and try her products! Below are a couple of my favorites and her newest collaboration with a guest designer also at Catscrap for this month, Edeline Martha.

What is wrong with Playfish? I’ve been playing Pet Society by Playfish and almost every time they add new items in the game, a glitch will also come up. Right now the glitch is, you can get the deer plushie when you click on the Hideeni link. You’re supposed to get the puppy plushie when you click on the link and supposedly, you can only get the per plushie when you buy cash coins. Then about a couple of weeks ago, there was the clone cheat. Well, good for me really because I’d been able to trade for a couple of pet beds that I’d been eyeing for some time now at a very cheap price. Yay! Go Playfish! Haha!

Are you planning to go back to school but can’t find the time? Maybe you should try enrolling in an online university. My friend and I are thinking about this too. I’m not sure yet what course I want to take, but my friend what to get an online nursing degree. That is actually a good idea, especially if you’re planning to work abroad. Anyway, if you’re interested in online schooling, you might want to check out Western Governors University. They have numerous degrees and programs which are in demand right now. They have very affordable tuition fees or you can also apply for financial aid or scholarship if you’re financially challenged right now. Isn’t that great?
