I always look for digiscrap freebies. I download frequently even if I scrap rarely. I hop from one site to another downloading all the free stuff that I can find. Although, when it asks me to sign up first and log in, I skip the site and just forget the freebie.

But at PeppermintCreative, I do not regret signing up. You won’t too when their freebies are as nice as this:

We haven’t brought the car to the casa since it was hit last Sunday. Poor Talong, as we fondly call it, left all alone being useless. Yes, it is insured. We were able to get cheap auto insurance for it. It’s just that no one will use it. Hubby is fetched by the company car while I, uhm, well, do not drive. I know, I know. I should have some driving lessons soon. Especially important when Mikee starts to attend a big school. Hey, I still have more than a year, right? No hurries.

Aside from a night out last Friday and gown-shopping last Saturday, hubby and I went to a spa for a nice whole body massage. We actually have no favorite masseuse so every time we are asked who we would like to get services of, we just pick randomly from the list of names.

But last Saturday, out of fun, hubby picked Michelle (my first name) and I picked Thea (my second name). And we actually liked them. It would be so easy to recall the names next time.

There. Bills have been paid, savings were set aside, and we had some fun. I better compute our weekend expenses now. It better tally with what was left in our savings accounts. It should, or else, goodbye hair treatment plan.

Tonight, our couple friends who are to be wed two weeks from now gave me the missalette. I will be the commentator on their wedding mass. I asked them why they chose me when most of their friends and guests are in the call center industry. I’m telling you, engineering graduates or people with IT jobs like me are likely to be NOT good at this. I hope people won’t expect too much.

Last Saturday, hubby and I, together with our couple friends, Maniya and Charles, went shopping. No, we weren’t scouting for European cruises. Just simple couple friends hanging out. We didn’t push through with the planned hair treatment. Maniya reminded me that I won’t be allowed to wash my hair after treatment for 3 days, so it is best that I have it on a Friday.

We went on to look for a dress for our friend’s wedding (on August 24). I first tried on 3 dresses. My only concern was to find a dress that would match my silver strappy sandals. Among the three, the choice was a deep purple A-line dress. We opted to have lunch first. We’ll just go back after eating so I could show husband while I’m wearing/fitting it. During lunch, I remember I’ll be the commentator so I needed a rather more formal dress than that purple one. But I figured I’d just wear a studded 2-inch thick bangle, with hoop earrings and my silver sandals, and it would look formal.

But after lunch, the dress has been sold. Geez!

After 2 more hours of fitting dresses, we finally found the perfect sweet-looking knee-length gown. The only catch is, it won’t match my silver sandals. Anyway, I still have 2 weeks to look for the perfect sandals.

(Note: I intentionally didn’t post a picture of the dress. I don’t want to spoil it.)

I noticed that I haven’t scrapped for a while. I have several pictures here. Each has a matching story. Creativity has taken a backseat for months now. I guess I have to set a goal. How about one layout for a week? I can do it on weekends to unwind. Well, let’s see if I can meet that. That’s it for now, I need to browse for affordable reno hotels.

Happy weekend!
