Sometimes, life moves too fast; work, school, and responsibilities keep us apart. But every now and then, we find the perfect reason to slow down and reconnect. Our family getaway at California Beach, Pansol was exactly that: a short weekend escape that turned into a celebration of togetherness, laughter, and meaningful memories. Welcoming Family from Abroad This trip was extra special

Our family recently had lunch at Greyhound Cafe—right after my laboratory test. My husband suggested the place since he had eaten here a few times before, but it was the first visit for my son and me. We decided to make the most of a 50% credit card promo on a minimum P3,000 order of a la carte meals—so we were ready for a feast! Here’s what we ordered: Chicken Satay – PHP 750

Sympathy cards are one of the hardest but most meaningful craft projects to make. When someone experiences a loss, a handmade card can bring comfort and show how much you care. In this post, I’m sharing some of the Cricut sympathy card ideas that I made using beautiful SVG files from Craft with Sarah.Each design is a ready-to-make SVG file that cuts perfectly with the Cricut Maker or Cricut

Halloween is fast approaching, and I’m sharing the last 3 Halloween projects that I made, which are perfect for spooky season. Whether you're crafting for parties, gifts, or just to decorate your space, these projects are quick, cute, and full of Halloween charm! Monster Face Halloween Treat BoxesI made these adorable treat boxes using the Cute Halloween Faces SVGs and the Easter Chick Treat

A couple of months before my husband and father-in-law took a trip to Singapore, I booked them a 3-night stay at Robertson Quay Hotel. My husband and I were looking for something affordable, safe, and centrally located, and this hotel checked all those boxes. I booked directly on their website and took advantage of their 30 Days in Advance Promo Rate. For a 3-night stay, the rate was SGD

For my father-in-law’s 70th birthday, my husband wanted to do something special, just the two of them. So, he treated his dad to a 4-day bonding trip to Singapore! It was a thoughtful way to celebrate a milestone birthday and spend quality father-and-son time together. Booking the Trip We went to The Great BDO Travel Sale to purchase their tickets via Jetstar, since the promo was only

Last September, I joined the Halloween Craft Countdown hosted by Craft with Sarah. This was actually my third time participating in her Halloween countdown, and once again, it featured 20 unique Halloween-inspired craft projects, all designed to add a little spooky sparkle to the season. I’m not really into Halloween. It’s never been my favorite holiday, so I didn’t plan to complete the

We were supposed to try another hotel buffet restaurant because I found a 50% off promo. Unfortunately, my father-in-law couldn’t attend my son’s birthday, so we had to change our plans. The hotel promo required a minimum of four guests, and we’re only a family of three. Then I remembered Rosario Pamanang Panlasa, the restaurant that replaced Josephine Restaurant Tagaytay, which closed on

Halloween is just around the corner, and if you're looking for a fun and creative way to spread some spooky (but sweet!) cheer, handmade Halloween cards are the perfect way to go! I just shared a new blog post on the Printable Cuttable Creatables website, where I show how I created five adorable DIY Halloween character cards using the Halloween Treat Bag SVG Bundle from Printable Cuttable

After five years of faithful crafting with my original Cricut Maker, I finally took the leap and upgraded to the Cricut Maker 3. I’ll admit, I was both excited and hesitant. My old Maker still worked well, but after so many projects, some wear and tear, and a whole new generation of features from Cricut, I decided it was time for an upgrade. Actually, I had planned to buy a machine last

I’ve been in full-on birthday mode for the last few months! I’ve made lots of birthday cards and cake toppers, so here’s a little round-up of what I created for recent celebrations – including my own! Happy Birthday to Me! – My Own Cake Topper Yes, I made my own birthday cake topper, and I’m proud of it!

While Halloween isn't my favorite holiday, I do love any excuse to get crafty, especially when it involves cute characters and fun designs! This season, I had so much fun putting together a set of Halloween paper crafts using SVG files from Digital Gems, and I couldn't wait to share the finished pieces with you! Using my trusty cutting machine and the easy-to-use Digital Gems SVG files, I

I decided to blog every day last week since we had no face-to-face classes, but I got preoccupied with my offline life, so blogging took a back seat. Anyway, let me share my first visit to Nitori! We were supposed to go to S & R for groceries, but my husband said my son needed a new phone cable, so we dropped by Festival Mall first. We had a quick lunch at Ramen Nagi, and afterward, we

Teachers’ Day celebration is just around the corner, but since my son is already in Senior High School, they no longer have any program for this event. Still, when you're a crafter, you sometimes make projects even if you’re not sure when or where you’ll use them; just for the joy of creating! Coffee Gift Card Holder for Teacher’s Day My blog post about a Teachers’ Day Gift Idea is now

As a craft lover and Cricut enthusiast, I’m always looking for cute designs to cut and to use up the cardstock I’ve been hoarding!

A few months ago, my husband sent me photos of Baker On East doughnuts and asked if I wanted to try them. To be honest, I had no idea what Baker on East was, so I did a quick search before saying yes. Baker On East is located in the heart of Makati’s Salcedo Village, just behind Valero Plaza Condominium. It started as a small home-based passion project by two brothers, Chino Cruz and Gio

Grandparents’ Day is coming up, so I designed a custom Grandpa and Grandma Sticker Set using my Cricut Maker 3 and glossy sticker sheet. I used the Dementia Clipart from Design Bundle Plus Exclusive Products. The set features a mix of grandfather, grandmother, medicine, apple, and a scene of their daily routine. I made this fun little sticker to remind our awesome lolo and lola to take

I’ve made so many craft projects over time that I sometimes forget to share them! Recently, I started organizing my work by theme; it’s much easier that way, especially when it comes to blogging or posting about them. Since I love teddy bears, I decided to create a few projects around that theme. What began as a simple idea turned into a delightful collection of birthday gift stickers, a

A few months ago, I met up with a friend who had just come back from the USA for a vacation. While waiting for her to arrive, another friend suggested that we visit KKV, a lifestyle store I had recently discovered. KKV is known for its wide selection of products that are trendy, fun, and affordable. It’s quite similar to Miniso, Japan Home, Daiso, and other concept stores. The shop offers

Even though we don’t have an autumn season here in the Philippines, I still find so much joy in creating paper crafts inspired by fall. There’s something warm and cozy about pumpkins, falling leaves, scarecrows, and even gnomes that are often tied to this season. I’m still hoping that someday I’ll get to experience fall myself. But for now, I find happiness in crafting and bringing those

Last August, we had no classes for 6 days. If I had known it sooner and if only we had a budget, I would've planned a whole different birthday celebration! But you know what? A home staycation and a little food trip aren’t so bad.Since I was celebrating my birthday on a budget, I wanted to make the day special without going overboard on expenses. So, I started looking for good dining deals and

We had no face-to-face classes today because of the weather. And wrong timing pa because we also don’t have internet connection, kung kailan naman may online classes. Mobile data is unstable, so I will just do a quick blog post and share the birthday cards I made.I remembered when I posted the birthday cards I made for my husband on my social media, and someone commented, “Uso pa ba ang birthday

Handmade cards hold a special charm that printed ones often can't match, especially when they're colored with love and care. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced artist, coloring cards for different occasions is one way to add a personal touch to your greeting cards. So even though I'm not very good at coloring, I truly enjoy adding color to my handmade cards. There's something

It’s been a while since my last blog post because I took advantage of the long weekend. Six days without an alarm clock and six days of pure relaxation. #RestModeOnI took a break from blogging and crafting to spend time with my family and finally take care of some items on my “Things to Do” list. Anyway, two weeks ago, I made this Wireless Earbuds Cover as my entry for Bee Happy Weeklies
