Here's a simple birthday DIY for my big 3-0...

Happy crafting! :)

The One About Hong Kong on V-Day

On Valentine's Day, we...

 

ate...

 

ate some more...

...in Hong Kong. :)

 But we also walked around a lot and visited parks.

Seriously, there's nothing like the serenity that open spaces and fresh air can offer. :)

The One That Made Valentine's Super!

Late post, I know!  Thing is, I was out of the country and spent the Day of Hearts someplace else.  Anyway, this is what I came up with for Valentine's Day:

 

Got this nifty idea here.  Hope you all had a super one, lovelies. :)

The One That's a Bargain!

Just before the year 2011 ended, the company I work at held a warehouse sale for its employees.  These went home with me that day:

 

 

The best part was the everything was just P235 (about $5.50)!  Yes, all 47 items were just P5 each ($ 0.11)! :)

 

Have a great weekend ahead of you, lovelies!

 

 

The 1st Klasrum Adarna Early Childhood Education Conference

Thanks to organizations like Adarna House that really respond to teachers' need for quality professional development opportunities, teachers like me have something to look forward to in the summer:

I love their books.  I know I'm going to love this conference. I'm especially interested in the Cultural Literacy and Filipino in the Early Childhood Classroom plenary session.  I can't wait!!! :)

If you're calling Adarna House to register, look for Anne.  She's nice. :)

The One About the File Labels

What do you do with newspaper clippings, downloaded Internet articles, recipe files that you acquire or collect?  A lot of times, these loose papers get stuck in the middle of the pages of a book, moonlighting as a page saver, or it gets thrown away by accident.

To organize them, I got an expanding envelope from the school supplies store...

Then I made alphabet tabs.  Yes, I'm resolving to alphabetize my clippings and other loose pages so education articles goes into "E," or that cauliflower soup recipe (while it awaits for its entry into my vintage recipe binder) goes into "C."  That way, I can look for them easily, knowing there's just one place to look for them.

And because I'm not one for boring, plain labels, I jazzed them up by using scrapbook paper as background.  Nothing like a pop of color to an otherwise boring black expanding envelope.

How fun it is to be crafty and organized! :)

The Ones Which Are Better Than Meatballs

How do you make baon-making at 4 o'clock in the morning fun?

You play with the food!!!

Hon-some almost freaked out when he opened his lunch.  Hahaha!  

Happy Midweek, everyone!
