My colorful Bracelet a Breloques which I ordered from and made by a good friend of mine.
I love it and so did my eldest daughter so she had me ask Gelli to make her a set with the colors of her choice: pink, black and purple.
Happy weekend!
Outdoor fun is my other entry.
Scrapbooking is fun, if not perceived as a challenge to one’s creativity for creating cool photos more interesting. It is expensive too, for not only one needs to buy different papers but varied embellishments too. Yes, and there is this thing about storage.
Good thing there is digital scrapbooking.
Sure, one buys stuff too but there are sites that offer free digital scrapbook “services” like Scrapblog.com (an online digiscrap site, where I made the page below) and Shabby Princess, a site where one can download free kits.
This is a bigger photo of that bright sunshiny sunflower.
Now, one can make pretty digiscrap pages easily. Hurry and visit the sites and make wonderful digiscrap pages! 
Happy Photo Hunting!
Or should those Christmas cards been mailed a few weeks ago?
I think the art of sending handwritten Christmas cards and letters is now lost because of the new technology that keeps people connected in more ways than one.
I love receiving Christmas photo cards. I told myself that the kids will do these handwritten cards but the truth is, we haven’t started yet.
Last year’s Christmas craft projects like photo ornaments and gift cards went underway early. I know I am to blame because I have been too busy with not so important things and have neglected this aspect of our routine.
I hope it is not too late to start these projects.
Last year’s tree was adorned with handmade decorations like little paper trees, photos and yes, paper stockings. Below is one of the many photos we have put up the tree:
These handmade decorations were tied with a silver cord.
Have a great weekend and I hope we don’t get tied down with a lot of stress and negative things
With Christmas 2009 just a few weeks away, it is no wonder malls are having possible gifts on display. Bazaars are happening left and right.
I do not want to dampen the joyous Christmas spirit but here in our country, at least the way I see it, Christmas will have a different meaning after all the things that happened to a lot of people and families.
Of course, husbands/male partners will still think of going to aisles that say “gifts for her” as would wives/female partners do. That is natural.
But for me who will be starting my Frugal Christmas year 2 for Christmas 2009, I hope to instill Christmas with less emphasis on the material things with my children.
Yesterday we attended a third birthday party and a baptism celebration rolled into one during the two celebrators’ dad’s birthday. What a triple treat!
Yes, it is a treat to attend a party and events planner‘s party. Hurray to you Kim, your parties are getting grander year after year!
Magic show. Festive decorations. Photo wall with free photos to take home. Dog show. The works! and yes, lots of cool giveaways to the kids.
In one party I attended (NOT Kim’s), play areas are stationed throughout the venue for the kids to play and win prizes. One would think, they could even set up ping pong tables there, or maybe arcade games but that would defeat the purpose of the guests being entertained as a group.
Everything to keep the guests entertained are there and yes, we were entertained indeed.
Just in case you want to have your party done this way, contact Kim here.
