It's gonna be October in a few days and I have not even started with my Christmas list yet! But I have a good idea already of what to give as Christmas giveaways this year: glass jars filled with Christmas-themed candies. I like the idea of giving something reusable and filled with sweet treats! How about these as inspirations? Here's another version of ... READ MORE
Our Do-It-Yourself (DIY) Ice Cream Party
I had so much fun with our DIY tea party at home last year - the preparations and all - so I promised myself I'll do another small party this year. My good friend (and also my kumare), Chel, suggested that we hold an Ice Cream Party at home. That was some months ago but we were able to finalize the date only last July during our trip to Gourmet Farms. The ice cream party was ... READ MORE
Crafty Gift Wrap
Just sharing with you this little craft project I did last week: DIY wrapping paper that I used to wrap some birthday gifts. I used a pattern paper as the 'wrapping paper', which I got from National Bookstore (only P19.75 for 5 sheets). I like the paper because it's smooth, durable and easy to work with stamp (the ink dries out easily). This is also my first time to ... READ MORE
Easter Eggs Chocolate Lollipops
Happy Easter! I'm sure a lot of families will be trooping to the malls and hotels today after the traditional Easter Sunday Mass for the Easter Egg Hunt. Here at home, we just had a mini-Easter activity for my nephew, Liam, which is Egg Painting. He loves to paint and he totally enjoyed that one (never mind if the hard-boiled eggs cracked in the end, having fallen off ... READ MORE
Shopping Bags and Wrapping Ideas
One day I was cleaning our storage cabinets and found a number of shopping bags that have been stored away, forgotten. Then an idea hit me. Why not recycle them as "wrapping bags" for my Christmas presents this year? I've read of others who have done it before and this post from 101 Grams of (Eye) Candy totally nailed that idea. Her "reduce, reuse, recycle" ... READ MORE
My Do-It-Yourself (DIY) Tea Party
I had always wanted to host a tea party at home, and was all the more inspired after AJ treated me to an afternoon tea at Manila Peninsula last August. But I was so busy at work and was doing all those traveling I just couldn't put my mind and time into it. But I found my perfect opportunity when my friend (and kumare) Denise sent me a message one day asking when are we ... READ MORE
Christmas Loot Bags
Tomorrow is our office's children's party, a yearly event we organize every December for the kids. I am in charge of the games and I am already excited to see them get challenged with what I've prepared haha. I am also done preparing my Christmas loot bags. For weeks I've been racking my brain on what to give them kids. It's so difficult to think of a uniform gift for ... READ MORE
Merry Crayon Wreath
I saw this homemade Christmas wreath at etsy and I'm inspired to make one too! The more colors there are, the merrier! Check out the similar project done by Angela of "A Bushel and a Peck of Fun". It comes with an instruction (thank you!) and it's fairly easy to do! We'll just be needing embroidery hoops, crayons (lots of it!) and glue gun. The good thing ... READ MORE
