One of my GFs called just to ask if the balikbayan boxes we requested already arrived. We're both planning of sending boxes to the Philippines and take advantage of the summer promo of Forex. Anyway, our chat started with the boxes then ended with her coming over for a visit and more. She insisted on helping me start converting a portion of my basement like she did on theirs, to a scrapping area. We don't have a finished basement but its quite big to have an area dedicated to my craft. I'm not really sure if I will follow up soon on what we have started in the basement but the it was really a great idea. The thing is I have a place now in the study room where I plan to put a drawing table for scrapping. Our study room is my office at night when I do my blogging and I want the opposite side by the window as my craft area, what a perfect room. I might not go out anymore.
