New Domain!!!

Wooot!!! Me& Mr. Jones is moving soon!! I just got a new domain, scrappingprincess.com for a really awesome price! I'm so excited to have my own domain again! I haven't had one in quite some time and I'd love to get back into the feeling of owning my site with no lame URL. LOL!

I just need some time now to get settled in, fix my blog and login page (coz it has to be awesome!) before I actually move. I'm hoping this gets me into the groove of blogging again. I'd really love to do so if my time at work wasn't so prohibitive. Darn day job! LOL

OK, in other news, it's time once again for... FOBTY!!!!

This challenge, Tracy wants us to talk about the most noble cake of all: the cheesecake!

Oh and I love me some of those stuff! My favorite cheesecake depends on the kind of day I'm having. Sometimes, when I'm sick of sweet stuff and I want something nice cool and kinda delicate tasting, I'd pick a Japanese Cheesecake. It's only $15 at Breadtalk (isn't that awesome?!) and can last a week of properly refrigerated. I only nibble a bit though on delicate tasting cheesecakes.

My one true cheesecake love is the classic Blueberry Cheesecake. I love it if it also had a bit of whipped cream at the edges. It balances the flavor of the tangy sweet-sour of the blueberry. But the best part of the cheesecake? The graham base.

YUM.

I want a cheesecake from Full House (except it already closed down when I was in junior year in college. Boo.)

FOBTY Baby Names!

You Like Names that Are Retro and Fashionable

You like names that are from the past but becoming modern again. Names with a strong history are very appealing to you. You're a big believer in giving children very adult sounding names. You're not a fan of nicknames or newfangled spellings. Some female names you might like: Audrey, Emma, Fiona, Georgia, Isabelle, Naomi, Rosemary, and Veronica Some male names you might like: Brendan, Colin, Ethan, Jared, Kenneth, Martin, and Nathaniel

What Kind of Names Do You Like?

So really, Jay and I have also been discussing what we'd be naming kids if we ever had any (so not sure if I'm ready and anyway I don't plan on any bratlings until after we get married and that's not happening any time soon, go figure.)

When I was a bit younger (like in high school, which was the height of my fantasy book addiction) I'd name my kids Crysania and Raistlin, both characters from one of my favorite fantasy novel series, Dragonlance. I mean, my brother named his son Viktor Creed (after Sabertooth from the X-Men) so why can't I pick something unusual for mine? Hehe.

I've this gut feel that if I were to have any, the firstborn would be a girl, and she'd be like a Madeleine Crysania or something, just to piss Jay off. I really hate how he dictates into my life sometimes. :p

New CT Teams OMG!

Hey everyone!! OMG, have I got awesome news! OK, first:

I submitted to Traci Reed's CT call and got accepted! GAWD that's so awesome and I'm so excited to post as one of the new HAWT MAMAS on the Team Blog! OK, so technically, I'm not a mama, but you get my meaning! Traci's designs have become some of my favorite kits from SSD and her Team is one of the most active and dynamic too!

On top of that, I joined the DSA CT Battles as part of her team! Exciting or what? Here's a couple of pages I've worked on within my first week of being a Hawt Mama:



My page for the CT Battle Round 1:


And Traci has a new kit collabed with Meg Mullens coming out tomorrow 7/17. Here's my page with this awesome new kit:




OK, my next CT (drumroll please!): Dani's Girls!! I've signed on as a Hybrid Artist for her team. Yay!! I haven't photographed my first project yet (working on it tomorrow, when the light is better) but I've got awesome news: my page Summmer Fun is going to be published on Issue 12 of The Daily Scrapper!! Woohoo!!!

Tomorrow, I'll post my latest hybrid work with one of my favorite Dani kits! :)

And now, for an SSD FOBTY:

You Should Spend Your Summer at the Beach

You're a free spirit who is always thinking of new ways to have fun. And you don't just love summer... you live for it. So, you really should blow off your responsibilities and head to the beach!

Where Should You Spend Your Summer?

Thanks for joining me this week! :)

FOBTY this week of rainy weather

Uuugh. Jay is sick (not really, but because he over-exerted at the gym, he's got sore muscles all over and has difficulty moving around his arms too much), so I took today's turn to buy dinner and medication for his sore muscles. And it rained! It's been raining cats and dogs almost all day. It'd rain, get sunny and then rain again.

The weather's really gone bonkers this week. Like at home, it'd be raining in our backyard and sunny on our front yard. Soooo weird!!

And you know, I like the rain if I'm indoors coz it makes the house really cool, without need for airconditioning, but really, my shoes just aren't meant to be walked in the rain! ;_;

FOBTY and I'm baaaaack!!!

Yep, I'm here again! And here's my FOBTY for July! :)

You Are a Pineapple Smoothie

You are adventurous and brave. You aren't afraid of much. You are in love with new experiences. You are usually the first to try something. You get bored rather easily, and you need to be challenged in life. You are turbo charged. Most people find it impossible to keep up with you in any capacity.

What Flavor Smoothie Are You?

Favorites!

Here's my FOBTY for this week:

FAVORITE TV SHOWS

1. CSI - I can be such a dork about this butI still keep missing episodes! LOL
2. Lives of Crime
3. Cold Case Files
4. NCIS
5. The Buzz (it's a Filipino showbiz gossip show)

I'm obviously a huge fan of crime shows. If the Crime & Investigation channel here didn't rerun stuff shown at night on the following morning, I'd probably have it on during my entire waking hours :D

FOBTY!!

You Are Facebook

You are social, outgoing, and excited to connect to your friends. You are interested in your friends' lives, and you enjoy adding your opinion to the mix. While you enjoy sharing online, you don't want everyone to know your business. You value your privacy. Your life is an open book to those you know but not to strangers.

Are You Facebook, MySpace, or Twitter?

See ya later babes! :D

Ugh, my blog is full of FOBTY LOL!

You Are Chocolate

You are dramatic, charming, and downright addicting. You have a strong personality, and and people are drawn to your fabulousness. You are stimulating and exciting. It's hard to get tired of you. You are incredibly likable and popular. You live a glorious life.

Are You Chocolate or Vanilla?

Yay SSD FOBTY!!

FOBTY again :p

So I'm really lazy at blogging these days LOL. I really need like blogging prompts like the ones at LJ. Good thing there's a FOBTY every week from SSD, so I don't neglect my blog for too long. Hehehe.

So the topic right now is Girl Scout cookies.

Oh by the way, I never got to join the Girl Scouts or even the Brownies when I was a kid, coz we couldn't afford the uniforms. I've been kinda annoyed with the Girl Scouts since then; it felt like there was too much money to be involved in, so I've never bought any Girl Scout cookies, even from my classmates.

Anyway, in other cookie news, I love these white chip macadamia giant cookies from Subway, but my favoritest of all are those super cute, chewy tiny cookies from Mrs. Fields, which I can't seem to find here now. :(

FOBTY Week 3! :)

I'm almost nearing 14 points on SSD!! Yay!! Here's my FOBTY for this week:

You Are a Lone Wolf

You are resilient, and no doubt your resilience has already been tested. You've had some difficult experiences in your life, but you are wise from them. Having had to grow up quickly, you tend to discount the advice of others. You tend to be a loner, having learned that the only person you can depend on is yourself. Your strength: Well developed stability and confidence Your weakness: Suspicion of others Your power color: Eggplant Your power symbol: Spade Your power month: October

What Does Your Birth Date Mean?

I guess this is more or less true. I have very few friends. :p

I got featured! W00t!!!

My layout got featured at the Sweet Gallery Standouts at Sweet Shoppe Blog! Woohoo!! I'm so over the moon, I haven't been featured at a GSO in like so long!!



And for my FOBTY for this week:

Your Word is "Love"

You see life as possibility to form deep connections with a few people. Relationships are the center of your world, and you always take time to bond with those you love. You are caring and giving. You enjoy helping those you love. And when it comes to romantic love, you feel passionately ... even in a very long term relationship.

What's Your Word?
