Day 125

YAY project M is completed. My cousin Michelle is having her baby shower in 2 weeks! I’m so excited. 1.) Because I’ve never been to a baby shower. 2.) Because she’s the first cousin of mine to finally get married&have a baby 3.) Because there’s going to be a new bundle of joy!!

So for this present, I wanted to make it BIG! (maybe because I’m just really excited) I started off with a disney princess puzzle (cause every girl needs that in her life! for hopefully “non-false hope”) then I decided to frame it…
Michaels is such a rip. I only recommend custom framing if you absolutely need it and you can’t get the standard sized. Well, my picture was 13” x 15”. She charged me 65$ (that’s already the 55% discounted price!!) And she kept giving me a hassle saying, this is going to be a problem, this is going to be a problem..so i was like okay..NVM (i hate nags, I give up when I hear nags..and get really frustrated). So I just went to the frame aisle myself and got a nice frame!! for only 15$!! cuz it was 44% off. I thought it was a good bargain..much better than the 65$! HMPH. THen i bought feathers for nam’s scrapbook (i’m really excited to do it!)

The framing design..well it was everythign I imagined it to be!! At first it was a well thought of project..but puzzle pieces weren’t gluing in right..and i had to make adjustments..and then it ended up like this! It’s better than I imagined! haha. Oh, and the quote I used was “the flower that blooms in adversity is the most beautiful and rare of all” FROM guess what movie? so that she can think positive as a young girl growing up.

Then, I headed off to target to buy baby clothes. I bought 4 sets of clothes: Newborn, 3 months, 6/9months, and one year. :] So now she has a year of clothing..and hopefully, it fits! haha..it better! i’m giving that baby 3 months gap to grow into em!! HMPH.

THEN! I went onto amazon and bought books. Of course, the books were really cheap but I forgot that with shipping and handling (especially from different places) it’ll be expensive…it went from 24$ to 54$ so ..i had to give up some books…I ended up just getting THE HUNGRY CATEPILLAR (my fav as a child) MAGIC SCHOOL BUS (so she can be smart, and it was also my fav as a child), and GOOD NIGHT MOON (it was just a family classic) There were otheres on my list but I had to tell myself to stop spending so much, like dr. seuss..but yah. I’ll get her that for her 1 year birthday or soemthi haha.

SO all in all, I think I could’ve spent WISER on amazon. but other than that, I feel successful on this gift..and i’m soo excited to see her tummy andd can’t wait until july til he rbaby pops up (except i’ll be gone :[[[ ) AHH i’m just so excited!!!!!!

Love the way I spend,
JUSTINA
PS, the movie was from mulan! :]
