Galentines Party

by Leave a Comment

I do believe that Valentine's is not exclusively for people in romantic relationships. It's a celebration of love and is meant for those who love and are loved. It's also the perfect time to celebrate friendships. So in Craft Party PH, we invited a bunch of our friends to get together for a relaxing afternoon of gal-time. We had it on the rooftop of Mia's parents' beautiful home. We had the weather on our side too and all the natural light one could ask for to take gorgeous, instagram-worthy pictures. And what would a party with crafters be without even a bit of handmade and DIY? Mabby of Read More

A Valentine Surprise

by Leave a Comment

How was your Valentine's Day? I do hope it was filled with tender lovin' and sweet surprises! Kayo and I went out on a midday date the day before Valentine's knowing full well that traffic will be unbearable on the day itself. We also went to The Spa and had a much much needed pampering time! We've been hustling hard these days we thought it was about time we gave ourselves a little break. Apart from celebrating with my husband, I decided to surprise some of my mail swap friends by sending them Valentines mail. As mention on my post last February 5, I was originally planning on doing a Read More

Growing In Love and In Art…

by Leave a Comment

Kayo and I first met when we were about twelve years old and from that very first day, we had already been making art together. We were both part of a childrens ministry group back then and were assigned to paint a backdrop for a church event. We found ourselves working together many times since then and eventually as young adults, became officemates at a small design studio. We became really good friends and I think also recognized that we worked really well together as a team. Fast forward to a few more years, we fell madly in love, got married not too long after, had kids soon after and now Read More

A HeART-filled Weekend

by Leave a Comment

Kayo and I spent our Valentines weekend very differently this year. While I would normally opt for a quiet romantic dinner to celebrate, I can't say I did not enjoy how we spent it this time. It was definitely one for the books! Kayo and I, together with a bunch of other talented and adored local (and one foreign) artists took part in Ayala Mall's Love'm Hearts campaign. It was a celebration of love and art at all Ayala Malls nationwide! Kayo's primary role was to bring in artists and direct the painting of giant heart installations situated in eight different Ayala Malls in Luzon over the Read More

Three days to go till Valentines Day! Have you decided what to get your special someone? Have you made plans? I think this occasion, much like Christmas, is a perfect time to share some handmade cheer. It's impossible to run out of DIY projects and ideas to celebrate this day of hearts. I know I have a long list of projects I'd like to try out but my schedule and life won't permit so let me just share this one which is very simple and easy —embroidered heart cards! I made use of what I had lying around the house: crochet thread, embroidery needle and some board paper cut into postcard Read More

Free Valentines Postcards!

by Leave a Comment

Just a few days left before Valentine's Day and I've got a special treat for you! I designed four new postcards which you can download for free, print as much copies as you like and give away to your loved ones on the day of hearts. And these four original designs were inspired by classic love songs I've always liked. I grew up listening to the "oldies." Music by Louis Armstrong, The Temptations, Frank Sinatra, Al Green and the Beach Boys, to name a few, would always be playing in our car stereo or my parents' record player at home. I vividly remember being a little girl sitting on my dad's Read More

Enjoying Being Home

by Leave a Comment

So after crashing at my in laws for almost two weeks while our new cabinets  were being painted and installed, we have finally moved in for good at our new condominium unit. I am very happy to say that we love it here, the girls included. They thoroughly enjoy having their own room, a space to run around just outside our doorstep and other children who live in the building to play with.           We're so excited to have finally moved, we decided to stay in for Valentines day and celebrate simply. As usual, Summer and I did a little arts and crafts during the day and I made them Read More

Papercut Hearts

by Leave a Comment

One of my friends who share my love for crafts invited me to sign up for a postcard swap in time for Valentines Day. I immediately agreed because it's something I've been wanting to do. Naturally, the theme is "love," and the only rule is that you send something you made yourself. So early last week, I busied myself making my cards. I wanted them to be simple and yet look fun and pretty. So I took out my trusty craft knife and cut out different fancy hearts on the front of my blank cards. I didn't have a solid idea what to make when I sat down to work on it, but I came up with four that Read More
