It's my nature to spend. For example, whenever we go (window) shopping, I don't feel good without bringing anything home. Doesn't matter what it is... can be a pen, book, magazine, shampoo, lotion, ... of course I'll be happier if I take home shoes, bags, clothes and the like. Point is, I just spend whenever I feel like spending. Of course, there were tipid times, but generally speaking, I'm more of an impulsive rather than wise buyer. I feel pleasure when I shop. Well, I guess I'm no different with most of the girls in the sense that I need "retail therapy" to make me high. *LOL*

I've been on shopping rehab these past few weeks ... meaning, I don't spend for stuff other than daily necessities. I have to think twice, thrice, or ditch the urge to buy altogether. Reason being (1) we're currently unemployed (2) we just shopped for winter clothes and stuff in U.S. I have provided for myself ever since my mom stopped supplying me moolah after college. Never tried taking breaks in between jobs. If I have vacations, they were all paid leaves. So the thought of "no income" makes me feel lost... and it sometimes does freak me out. :( Oh anyways, it's a little too early to worry for now since we've just been here for a month. I'm praying really hard that we get a job really soon.

To make-up for the shopping rehab, I do scrap therapy. I begged off from my CT responsibilities at Scrapdish for the month of Jan-Feb. So I tried to catch up for the Feb-March deadline. My mojo was quite active and I was able to produce 2 LOs this week! Here they are (click photo to see credits):
