When I was small…wait…younger (there, better), like when I was a kid, I love to doodle. My mom would bring home reams of scratch paper and I would draw and doodle on them every chance I got. In highschool and college, I liked lettering using chalk and stabilo highlight markers. Then I started working and… Continue reading Learning Watercolor Lettering with Crafternoons
Lucas’ school hosted a costume party and Trick or Treat before they had their school break mid-November. I was determined to have something extra nice for him because the past three Halloweens he had weren’t so successful. He was a pumpkin for his first Halloween but we did not attend any party. I wasn’t able… Continue reading Trick or Treat Costume: Luke Skywalker
Halloween is right around the corner and I’m pretty sure mommies are either invited to Trick or Treat parties or are looking for one so their minis can join. For moms of school children, there is probably a Halloween activity in school which, most probably, has a Trick or Treat activity. If you’re like me,… Continue reading Butterfly Cereal Treats
This is a super late post but nonetheless it’s worth writing about. I was excited for the Little Jedi’s birthday this year for many reasons. One, it’s the first time for Lucas’ bday to fall on a Saturday. The date itself is calling for a party. Second, he has reached so many milestones in the… Continue reading Little Jedi Turns 3 Part Un: Party Theme and Venue
I vow to document Lucas’ development more this year and I thought a weekly favorite picture would help me do the trick. I will be posting my favorite shot of him every week in my blog and share why these have become my favorites. Here are weeks one and two: This may not be the… Continue reading Fifty-two Weeks Project
Yes. I finished my Christmas shopping by December 1. But I’m only wrapping my gifts today, the 23rd. Har de har. I love wrapping presents. Even way back in high school, I would watch the mall gift wrappers and study how they would make the perfect Christmas bags with a collar. Since then, I’ve been… Continue reading Christmas Wrapping Theme: Parcels
I am glad the rain has finally stopped. Sunday night and the whole day of Monday felt was a deluge. We are safe here in Parañaque but we couldn’t get out of the city because these are the flooded areas. I am hoping that everybody is safe and dry. I had been sick also and… Continue reading Washified!
Today I was taking it easy. I had a crazier than crazy week so I just wanted to play with my son, eat, watch a movie, and just relax. Well I could never really relax because I know I needed to do something creative especially once the Little Jedi goes to sleep. So when he… Continue reading Blog Makeover
Here are the products of my recent cathartic activity/business venture (a.k.a. baking). Girls, ladies, don’t we just love pink anything? Admit it, at least once in your life, you liked pink. I think most, if not all, girls do. These were orders for Valentine’s Day. I wanted to veer away from the usual hearts so… Continue reading Pink
I had so many DIY ideas this year. I was only successful with two and one was Christmas wrapping. I was inspired by Pepper’s, Faye’s and Maqui’s DIY prowess and creative wraps so I thought of coming up with a theme too. This year’s theme? Santa Claus! It’s a couple of cartolina and red paper.… Continue reading Santa’s Year
