This would be the first time that I scrapbooked with Zeke’s picture. I know that I haven’t been into scrapbooking lately. What can I say, baking & cake decorating are currently high on my hobby list. Anyway, just posting for this new page. It is a template, not made from scratch. it’s hard when you can’t spend as much time on a page anymore.

I haven’t blogged in a while… I just really could not come up with anything to write lately. Life is still the same. My 17 month old toddler, Zoe, is doing really well. She’s learned a lot of words and I think she’s gonna learn how to talk soon. She already knows how to say ‘please’ and ‘thank you.’ It’s summer here and I’m thankful that it isn’t as hot as last year. I’m a sweaty pregnant woman, so I’m glad that the weather has been on my side lately. The temperature has been just right.

I have been looking at maternity dresses, but it’s so hard to find something that I really like… but I fell in love with this one. I think it’s the cutest maternity dress ever. I’ve been begging my husband for it. lol, I really don’t own that many maternity dresses… I’ve been getting regular dresses, but I make sure there is room for baby bump. But this dress is just too cute. I wish I could just go to Korea, they make a lot of cute maternity clothes there.

I’m 34 weeks pregnant now. Baby is arriving soon! I’m honestly more nervous about going on labor this time around. With my first pregnancy, I was really calm when my water broke. I was just too excited to experience labor… but now that I know exactly what to expect, I’m more scared of it than anything. People have told me that it’s easier the second time around, but I still can’t help but worry.

Anyways, here’s a scrapbook page. I used to predesigned template. I haven’t had time to create a template from scratch lately.

Here is a new scrapbook page that I did. I love downloading free kits! Not much to blog about, but I just wanted to scrapbook a little bit. More to come later…

I started out as a paper scrapper in summer 2006, even took classes for it and got addicted to it. I think every time I got my paycheque, I’d head straight to Scrap-a-Lot to shop for more supplies and tools. I loved this hobby, but it’s very expensive. I spent hundreds of dollars on my still incomplete scrapbook. And then in October 2006, I discovered the wonderful world of The Sims 2. So a month after that, I created my first Sims 2 series, Vanity High.

Anyway, back to present time… Digital Scrapbooking is definitely something that’s new to me. There are pros and cons though. I like how you can just press undo whenever you make a mistake, but in paper scrapping, covering up your mistakes is not that simple. Also, in digital scrapbooking, buying your supplies and tools is a lot cheaper. You can get a really cheap software or a really expensive software depending on how much you’re willing to spend. I really love the convenience of Digital Scrapbooking, that I’m even considering buying a third hard drive just to store all my scrapbook projects (that is, if Josh lets me… ). My second hard drive is actually for storing my Sims 2 movie projects. But in my opinion, nothing beats paper scrapping — I feel more accomplished every time I finish one page from paper scrapping and I love the 3D effect. I’ll eventually want a new graphics card though. *hint*hint*

So I finally decided to work on a new digital scrapbook page. I realized today that I haven’t actually made a scrapbook page after Zoe was born. This page was way overdue. I really forgot about it. I want to find time to scrapbook again. But I put away all my tools in the basement so I’m sorta stuck with digital scrapbooking. Oh wells… I’ll try to make another page this week.
