Hope-Filled

by 2 Comments

The last mail swap I organized was a a little bit more serious than usual. The theme I picked was HOPE. And it was because at that specific point in time I was very much burdened by many dark and dreary things happening around me — to people I know, in our community, our city, the country, the world. I felt like, in some way, I had to do something to keep the light burning and not give in to sadness and hopelessness. So I thought maybe exchanging words and images of hope and life can be a simple yet good way to do that. I'm glad many expressed interest and really embraced the message. Those Read More

December In Depth

by Leave a Comment

I hope the first week of your 2018 has been good and full of promise! While I spend the last few days dreaming, setting goals and creating game plans for this year, I also took a good look on how last year panned out and what amazing things I experienced and learned. I also made it a point to complete documenting my 2017 December Daily. In case you didn't know, this is a Christmas and year-end activity I've been doing the last three years, which I picked up from designer and scrapbook extraordinaire, Ali Edwards. It helps me reflect more intentionally on what Christmas is all about and makes Read More

All Good Kids

by Leave a Comment

Last Friday night in Cubao Expo, Nobody Clothing launched their collaboration with our daughters, Summer & Emma. It was part of their collection titled "All Good Things" and its ultimate message is the appreciation of "the simple and rare occasions that make a marked difference in our lives: The end of a long journey, perfect opportunities, shared victory, a beautiful day, seeing shooting stars..." The idea to involve the girls came out of this desire to just do something purely fun and different. It was not intentional, but a clear contrast came out of the girls' drawings, Read More

Christmas To Remember

by Leave a Comment

It's 26 days before Christmas! I hope you feel it cause I do! And I'm loving the cool December breeze we get more often these nights. As we all prepare for the holidays and all the avid memory keepers get ready to document Christmas, I thought it's the perfect time to share my December Daily album from last year. Here are some photos of my favorite pages and I've included a flip through video of the whole album at the bottom of this post. The kids and I had a lovely time looking through these pages again as I was preparing for this post and it definitely puts me in the right Christmas-sy Read More

Summer & Emma Get On The Sticker Business

by 2 Comments

My girls and I love stickers! I keep my own stash but I also have a bunch which I let them use when we're scrapbooking together or making greeting cards for friends. We also share a fondness for sticker-bombing our stuff, like bags, boxes and notebooks! They can't stick stickers all over our house but they can inside their closet door, so that's been sticker-bombed too! And because we love stickers so much, we did a little collaboration recently and created sticker sets using their own designs! First, I made them draw on paper. They could draw anything they liked as long as it was big Read More

A Little Bit Of Everything

by Leave a Comment

So the last month that I had not been blogging has been quite eventful and very memorable. I have been learning a lot about pacing myself and designing my own breaks. I have also been enjoying being busy — which is not always the case, so I'm both surprised and thankful. I think I'm enjoying myself because I find I'm working with  people I love to work with and doing things I love to do. Hard not to have a good amount of fun even if work is tough and trying. So let me give you a quick rundown of what's been keeping me and Kayo occupied lately as well as some fun things we have been up Read More
