The Joy in Receiving

I always believe that there is joy in giving. But lately, I also discovered the joy in receiving, be it pasalubong, SWAPs, RAKS or prizes.

It seems that the phrase "the merry month of May", May being a month of fiestas and festivals was true for me this year. I received so much blessings during this month in the form of scrapbook goodies from friends and scrapbook contests/challenges organizers/scrapbook store owners.

Let me share with you the yummy scrapbook goodies I received.

PASALUBONGS from Scrappin' Mom and OZ girl, Joanne Yap, Cheche's sister from the US and Liezl's friend from Canada (talking about the advantage of having friends with the same interest, kasama ka sa hatian ng goodies):











Thank you so much, ladies!

SWAP from June aka bbhome for the Scrappin Kids' Envelope SWAP:


Thanks so much, June!

RAKS and PRIZES from joining challenges/contests:
