I just love DIY projects. In the last two years I made a lot of notepads that I gave away.
Personalized gift tags? Check.
Family photo Christmas tree ornaments? Check!
Now I want to buy beads in bulk so I can make bracelets like these to give away. My eldest daughter used to make bracelets too and she has some leftover materials I have to find first before getting the supplies I might need.
Gifting need not be expensive as long as one is creative. This may mean some manual labor but that would be more fun than jostling your way to the cashier during sale events, right?

I have several things in my (mental) list of what I want to do for Christmas in terms of having yet another round of frugal Christmas gift ideas.
Of course, the notepads are a priority because the daughters requested I do these for their gifts. I’m slowly filling up my list and got some toys at a recent toy sale.
Should I do baked goodies again but do it differently? I think I should especially since I discovered about cookie bouquets. Of course it is easy to just send cookie bouquets but to actually make these myself would make me feel good albeit super tired. Let me say that I just love the idea of these cookie bouquets!
I’m guessing I’ll be adding cookie cutters in my list of to-buy 😀
Now how to do the frosting…

The Philippine blogosphere was buzzed, still is buzzing about the recent issue hounding and pounding bloggers.
Several issues were hot during the past months and just last week, and now an issue was dropped like a bomb which made everyone scrambling to post a guess who the BBB is. BBB = Big Bad Blogger.
Everyone’s pointing a finger at others who feign ignorance and in turn gives hints on someone else besides herself/himself. I think waterproof binoculars would not be enough to see a clearer picture, especially since bloggers nowadays are treading on murky waters with regards to reputation, bad or good.
Blogging used to be fun. Well, it still is, for me and some bloggers I know. Until the commercial side of writing copy-pasting publishing stuff online got the better of some bloggers.
I for one have benefited from these in some small ways, not in monetary ways but small stuff and freebies sent my way and in exchange for my writing articles about these things.
As I’ve written in a status update in FB, why can’t we just live a passionate life and blog about it OR blog about things like these and have world peace instead? 🙂
