Soaking Wet!!!
It was a mixture of emotions – fear, disappointment and grief. I was busy last Sunday editing pics of our lanterns for SK when DS on a “panic mode” said “your scrapbook is wet!” The message didn’t sink in at once because there’s no reason for my scrapbook/s to get wet! The sun is up (definitely, there’s no rain) and they are secured in my playroom (drinking/eating is not allowed). I went to our playroom and lo and behold!... it’s not the scrapbook…. but the scraproom! Everything is dripping wet. Words didn’t come out in my mouth but the tears flowed unstoppably. I don’t know which one to touch first, to dry up and to save. I keep on crying as I wipe each pack of PPs, embies, tools. My AMM tote has water in it. My trolley and carry along bag were not spared, too. DD and DS used bath towels in drying up anything they can touch. DH is the one mopping the floor and giving instructions to my kids. I guess, we're all shocked! Where did the water come from? Our garden hose was left hanging by the fence and its nozzle facing the playroom’s windows. Maybe a street kid got thirsty, used the garden hose to drink some water and most likely don’t know how to turn it off. The water pressure was at its peak since the water hose was used in cleaning the car that morning (that explains why in just few minutes the playroom is soaking wet). Whoever could have seen me in that particular moment would be amused as to why this “girl” is crying over those wet stuff! Only a scrapbooker will surely understand!

Oh, no! I can hardly imagine how that must feel like!!! Seeing one's labor of love get destroyed in an accident. I'm sure you've wished a dozen times, "Sana, I moved my album somewhere just in time." And then again, maybe you're being called to make more albums? Hay naku, buhay talaga.
oh my, that's terrible. i would cry, too, in that situation. i think whether you're a scrapbooker or not, water damage sucks. sana ma-save mo pa mga gamit mo. STEEDI ka lang sis. that's my word verification btw. just trying to make you smile. :-)
WaaaaH! Pati ako naiiyak sa kwento mo! Good thing you moved your albums already or else pati ako maglulupasay!
On the bright side baka this was meant to happen para magshopping ka uli for new stuff! LOL! Tara Shopping tayo!
I know how it feels!!!! Remember what happened to me last typhoon milenyo where all on my stuf got wet even your book and our clothes. Nakakaiyak talaga!
hugs to you,.. ako din iiyak if that happend to me -- i shriek when ppl touch my stuff,.. at least may mga kapalit just to ease your sadness on this unhappy incident,... hugs!
