A Birthday Craft Party!

by 3 Comments

Crafts make me happy (duh)! And I have mentioned countless of times how making things in my own personal time, alone in my home, is therapy to me. But through the years, I have also discovered by joining workshops and, more recently, holding my own, how arts and crafts shared and done in a group setting can also be very enjoyable and fulfilling. So for my 31st birthday, I decided to gather together new and long-time friends for an afternoon of coffee, cakes and crafts. We held it at our very own space, Honeycomb: Manila Coworking , located in Edsa Beverage Design Studio, which Read More

Here's how it's done:    1 Paint sheets of white paper or manila paper using classic red and green Christmas colors. One to two pieces of letter size paper will do for one mobile. But you can make as many as you like. There are no rules. Just have fun painting!    2 After the Read More

DIY Thank You Cards

by Leave a Comment

I read somewhere that consistently grateful people are happier and more satisfied with their lives. It also helps create a generous spirit in us. Therefore, gratitude is a virtue I would definitely want to develop in my children. Summer, who just turned two, cannot even pronounce "Thank you" properly yet. She says "tenchu" or something like that, but it makes me happy every time she says it without me having to remind her. Being consistently grateful is a quality even I have not perfected but I'm working on it and learning along side my girls. The week after Summer's birthday party, I Read More
