It's raining! *grin*

Because a few hours ago it wasn't, so I went out. To the park. Take photos of my latest projects... What if I chose to be lazy and thought of 

doing-it-later? EEEK! No nice photos for my post! Good thing I did! YES! 

So I made this sweet gifts using Crate Paper's Pretty Party collection, Sizzix and Robin's Nest. So pretty I even thought of making one for myself =) It's my first time to work for a young guy client  so I made it extra special! It's almost valentines day so you can also make something like this. It's so easy just follow the formula: 

An Ikea frame. Cheap no more. 

... and a simple card to go with it! 

I love making these. Smiling the whole time hoping the ones who get these will have the same or even better smiles =) 

Thank you for being here. Love. Gen. 

simple but not empty

That's how I describe by life these days. Simple. So near to Him.

• Home most of the time. Enjoying the house that is at times messy but on good days, so neat and clean. I just love a clean and a good smelling house filled with simple stuff, most of them white.
• Playing with the boys, mostly tickling and laughing out loud. 
• Able to play with my guitar more. I am currently learning "How Lovely are Your Dwelling Places" one of my favourite songs  in the community =)
• Watching movies with my love over a cheap red wine.
• Spending quiet time with myself and my crafts. Making thoughtful gifts and cards such as these... 

... a gift box for Kuya's Case Manager/Social Worker in school.

... a simple birthday card for an officemate's friend.

Happy Teachers Day!

Thank you, dear Teachers, for loving our children like your own. You deserve to be honored not just today but every day. The world is better and brighter because of you. May you be blessed with joy and good health always, as you carry out your vocation. Thank you thank you so much! 

... my go-to friends when I have to make gift packaging such as these bags: Eclips and a paper stack. Life is so much easier and really fun! 

... pretty bag, with a little surprise inside, adorned with a simple stamped tag, twine and a white prima flower.

... ready for delivery! :) 

a post with no title :D

Hello! Back from a whole day out! First part was Yummy part coz I ate the very delicious Filipino food 'ginata-ang langka' and kare2, and cakes too! Second part was Miguel's gymboree class and a lot of chitchat time with Betsy. Went home with bags full of my favorite 'whatta tops' cupcakes and dresses for ThoughtfulCrafts, my FB store, to be posted soon. Thank you so much Betsy for carrying them for me. You are such an angel!

Speaking of ThoughtfulCrafts, here are the new handmade hair bands I just uploaded...

Weekend was great. Matthew and family visited us! I prepared hamonada and vegetable spring rolls... and they brought super sarap fried chicken! (Im hungry now, oh no!). Miguel and Taxx did the "tsunami" playdate, Kuya read Toy Story with Dadutz. Very very precious moments... I got belated birthday presents too! :)   Hubby got so engrossed with the movie they watched (while us, ladies made chika!) so these are the only kakarampot photos we had...

Then, today was the last day of Made With Love's challenge #8 which I hosted.  I want to say thank you to all who played along... photos below will show how the winner was randomly drawn... 

Congratulations Bbhome! :)
