IMAGINE: a valentine shell...

I fell in love with this tiny one of a kind shell that we bought during our honeymoon in Cebu last 2009.. it was so surprising to see a small heart on the left side of this shell..did you see it? Isn't this creature amazing?!..God really is the Master of all creativity. He shows His love even to this beautiful shell.
This Valentines season is a great reminder of love for each other but most of all let us be reminded of God's love for us=) .
Happy Love Day!

good finds

Hello there! it's been a while...again..haha!

I really miss my blog..actually (hmmm..excuses?!) i'm signing in once in a while to check out and read my favorite blogs and browse on my old post but not really posting new stuff..=( 

December 2010 was a very busy month for me.There were lots of gatherings and parties while attending to my active baby who just turned one last Jan 23=). Just want to share a bit about him, my little baby started to walk one week before his birthday!=) My husband and i were so thrilled and excited for many new stuff he will try to do soon and he really does now.. just a thought, time really flies so fast and today is February of 2011 already! hayyyy!

Meanwhile, i just want to share my new addition to my supplies. These three baskets really made my day when i went to Divisoria last November. I was there to buy some artsy stuff for my friend's wedding favors. Then i decided to drop by at one of handicraft store..not really sure what to buy that time..just looking around and i bumped into these 3 pieces baskets on the side.It was not really on display 'coz these were their last pieces and the vendor gave it to me for only P70..=)..it was really a good deal and these will surely be part of my arts and crafts stuff...

 now my fancy flowers have their place to stay ..=) Have a great week everyone!

A special day!

3 in 1 birthday card

 

Last friday was my dear husband's birthday!So i surprised him with a cake,gifts and my handmade card to encourage him.(my personal card for him is not posted yet)

I made this one so our friends can write their greetings and encouragements too...

                  

This is a 3-in-1 card..i thought it would be convenient to hold just one piece of card with lots of spaces to write. I cut 3 different sizes of cards. Put embellishment on each. Then i used a puncher to make 2 holes on the side to tie them together using raffia and added beads on it. To add more space, i made an extra pocket at the back of the card with small pieces of plain tags. Easy? You can try it too..                                                                              

So I passed this card around before our church gathering starts while Eugene was busy talking to other brothers but unfortunately he noticed it..hahaha! but still I was so glad that it was all filled up with so much encouragements from our friends.He was excited to find out and read what they wrote for him....we get to celebrate his birthday together with the group and sang the famous birthday song for his special day.Thank you to all who made my husband's birthday memorable=)

Happy birthday my dear!(",)

Appreciating Nature

Aside from painting,drawing, arts & crafts..i also love photography. Everytime my digital camera is with me, i will always look for opportunity to get a picture of a subject that i really love..i know that only through photographs that i can capture that very moments of beauty. Everyday is different when you look at nature through lens..it moves & it changes.
It was summer in Chicago, my husband and i decided to have some time out with our friends. We were very excited because i know for sure that i will get to see wonderful and beautiful things. It was our first time in Chicago Botanic Garden and i'm very glad that i took the time to capture these gorgeous flowers during our visit there last year..i appreciate God's creation much more everytime i take the moment to stare at them and look for a great angle to capture its beauty...These are just few of my flower photos, i made them a little brighter to show their details..wish i have a DSLR.=) i'll be posting some of my sunset collection next time..=)
Have a great week!
