It's my birthday! And I'll give a RAK if I want to!

It's my birthday this Friday, August 1. I'll be 43 years old and I feel GREAT! I lost weight (since we started aerobics in school), I can now fit into pre-pregnancy clothes (except for the snug bustline, but am still working on that!), and I feel healthy, fit and strong. I have a good career as an educator and a Montessori elementary school I can really be proud of. I've been blessed with a loving hubby who indulges my scrapbooking expenses, and I've also been gifted with a handsome, adorable, intelligent and pilyo 4-year old son. The other day, when I asked my little boy what he'll give me for my birthday (fishing!), he opened his empty palms and said, "Heto, mommy!," signifying himself. I almost melted! Then yesterday, he added, "Pang-scrapbooking, mommy, kasi iyon ang gusto mo!" Haaaay. I am truly blessed.

Because I've always believed that blessings always beget more blessings, I checked out my stuff to see what I can give away to my friends. And lo and behold! I found out that I have double of several items! My original 8 black drawer bins, most of them empty at the start of January, has now burst into 12! I'm barely a year into PS and SE and I've accumulated soooo much! So, to commemorate my birthday, as well as my joining these great and wonderfully supportive groups of friends, I am having a 2-pronged RAK give-away. Above are photos of my little boy obviously ecstatic with the cheap finger "lasers" (actually they're just small colored flashlights) I got in Cebu's Ayala Mall. When we switched off the lights and he waved his hand around, we had a mini-light show.

To win RAK#1, All you have to do is suggest a title for a LO I'd like to make of these photographs in the comment section of this post. The best title wins one of the RAK sets. And even if I don't get to choose your suggested LO title, I will also have a raffle (RAK#2) for everyone else. Hence, two (2) very lucky people will get my humble RAK. So here's what's in store:

For the LO Title RAK#1 (see 3rd photo), I am giving away the ff: 12x12 blue die-cut felt pieces, Fancy Pants 12x12 transparency Beauty, 12x12 transparency Memory, Autumn Leaves French Twist RubOns, heart chipboard pieces, K&Co Glittered Twinkle Type Spring Chipboard Alphas, K&Co Life's Journey Clearly Yours Alpha Stickers, mm LOVE photo decor chipboard, American Crafts Thickers Leg Warmers Felt Letter Stickers, Heidi Swapp Frills Clear Shapes Stamps, Maya Road Secret Box Chipboard Book, and 9 pcs assorted Autumn Leaves Chipboard Journaling Panels.
