Party in style with a Burberry theme party:

Concentrating on the details is one way to have that authentic feel in whatever party theme one has her sights on.

Be prepared though to pay for these detailed things or if one is artistic, patient, has a lot of spare time and crafty enough, everything can be handmade.

I haven’t been blogging a lot lately but it doesn’t mean my being involved in things online has ceased. In fact I am even more active than before! Nah, not Facebook but in Instagram.

^ was done by my eldest daughter. using black ink pen.

I enjoy looking at wonderful photos of lol, trees, lakes, hiking places, camping places, pets and cute things among others. Nah, I don’t look at vain photos especially from famous celebrities because I’d rather enjoy foggy, sunny, hilly, tree-lined places.

I am pretty sure I would enjoy photos related to Christmas like that of department 56 snowbabies. Speaking of which, I’ve a friend who collects snow globes. Maybe she should take more photos of her collection.

For Android users, you can now use Instagram on your gadgets. Just go to Google Play, and download for free.

I also created my account there several hours after it was released.

Here are some of my photos:

We make our own gift tags. Although gift tags can be purchased at a minimal price, from Php5.00 – 15.00, making your own does not just make you creative but these gift tags have a feeling of being more personalized.

Below are samples of basic gift tags we’ve made last year:

All you need to make gift tags are the following:

• special papers in various colors, could be new or scrap from school projects (yes, do not throw these yet)
• craft scissors
• scrapbook embellishments (with adhesive would be better)
• glue
• one hole puncher
• different kinds of ribbons

You can also design your own gift tags and print these out. I don’t want to do this though because ink is kinda expensive 😉

This is my bracelet a breloques.

This is my daughter’s DIY ring, made up of a craft gem and rolled paper.

I am planning to do a DIY/crafts program for my students this summer and this include making fancy trinkets and jewelry like bracelets, necklace and earrings. I have been canvassing my “suki” where I buy fancy bracelets for the materials I need: charm for bracelet, wires, elastic bands of fish net thread, trinkets and semi-precious stones.

I just wish I would be able to get these materials at a reasonable price without having to go somewhere a bit far like Quiapo or Divisoria.

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, I’m sure couples are eyeing where to spend this special day. Whether they spend it on a day at the beach, hiking mountain trails, checking in at hotels in orlando, or running a marathon together, sometimes it does not really matter as long as they are together and having a blast.

Of course, being that Valentine’s Day is commercially-driven these days it is no surprise that more and more people find it not too special to spend anymore. For those couples with children, this has become a family affair: dinner, out of town trips or special meals cooked at home.

“Everyday should be like Valentine’s Day” say some and in that note, I have to agree.
Enjoy the sort film as much as I did 🙂
