END OF YEAR CRAFT HAUL

Happy New Year! Well, I spent New Year's Day alone in our apartment and I mostly slept through it. Heh. I had to work on New Year's Eve so I didn't get much sleep the previous day. 

Though I had to work, I was able to go home for Christmas Day and by home I meant taking a bus ride all night long from the Metro to my hometown in the North. I was surprised that it took us only 8 hours and 30 minutes. It usually takes 10 or more. That was really fast. I almost didn't get to wake up when I was near my destination. Gad. It was a good thing the bus stopped longer at the usual drop off point after entering our province or else I would have been disturbing my relatives at the wee hours of the night to let me in. (The bus terminal was near their house.)

I spent Christmas Day with my cousins. We went biking in the afternoon. I was pretty exhausted when we got back home so I didn't get to eat dinner. I dozed off as soon as my head hit the pillow.

Oh. By the way, I only had two whole days at home. I needed to go back for work. TT.TT. I hope to have a longer vacation next time and I want to spend New Year's Eve there. We'll see if I could get a leave for that later.

Anyway, on my second day at home, I registered for 24 hours of mobile data so I could upload my projects on Instagram and share them on my Facebook and Tumblr. Lord. The internet connection was soooo slow. I think it was early morning when I placed an order to my favorite craft shop in town Bee Happy Crafts. I told myself I will stop ordering craft tools and supplies last October for a couple of months, but when I checked the site, they had new stocks of archival inks, clear stamps and Spellbinders dies. I definitely had to buy. I don't know when they will have them again. It was still December so it was fine. I will probably make another purchase or two before the month is out because I have yet to have an eyelet setter. Drat. I want a Big Bite, but I'm thinking that the Crop-A-Dile will do. Gah. And then a tag dies. I hope Memory Lane or Which Craft have them. They are out of stock at BHC.

I tried to limit myself to spend about P6,000. It's a long way to go till the next pay date so I must not splurge on other stuff. Here is what I bought with it.

5. Paper Pads

[Sigh.] There are still so many things that I need to get to use on my future projects. I'm going to post a wish list on a different page. I will be updating it from time to time. It will also be some sort of tracker if and when I get them.

That was that. I have not started a new project yet, but I am going to work on a couple of things that I would like to give to the Design Team head. And I will try to fix my Cuttlebug while waiting for our landlady to stop by. Thanks for looking today. Have a great week!
