Fun Work

Hey there! Yes, I am still here. I haven't gone off to the netherworld. I've just been pre-occuppied with a lot of things for the past days and also trying to recuperate from my weekend bazaar.

As I've mentioned in my last entry, Paperworks along with Jek, my cousin, teamed up with aklat eklat at Santa's Bewitched Christmas Bazaar spearheaded by Zonta Club of Muntinlupa at the Cuenca Covered Courts in Ayala, Alabang last October 2-3.

This was the very first bazaar Paperworks has joined. It sure was a great learning experience and a whole lot of fun albeit very tiring.

Day 1: Our booth was located inside

That's me showing my support to the booth next to us...lol!

Whew!

Good evening! Its's midnight and I just got home. It's been a very long day. I've been up since 4:30 am. I had to wake up early to get ready for my daughter's Confirmation because we had to be in school by 7 am. Soon right after I proceeded to the Santa's Bewitched Bazaar by Zonta in Ayala, Alabang. I stayed there until 7:30 pm and rushed to my niece's birthday dinner in the Commonwealth area. To all of you who are familiar with the places I mentioned, you know that all the travelling I did today was no joke.

I've a lot more stories to share with you, but I really need to get my zzzz's now. Tomorrow is another bazaar day. Wish me luck!

Spooky Nights

Happy Saturday friends! Oh how wonderful it is to sleep through the night with just the fresh cold breeze of Baguio to keep us cool and wake up to the sing-song chirping of the birds outside. These are just some of the simple luxuries a city girl like me wouldn't mind getting used to everyday.

For those of you who have not been to this side of the world, Baguio City is the summer capital of the Philippines. To our family, however, it is home away from home. Our house here is the one place where the whole clan can come together at one time to relax, unwind and just be happy.

Anyway, before I completely get lost in this enchanting place, I thought I'd share with you Mr. Bony Bones here dancing his way to some mayhem and mischief on Hallow's Eve.


He is the main character in these funky slider cards I concocted.


These black ravens and freaky tombstone keep him company inside.


Spooktacular!!!


Enjoy your weekend everyone!

Ghoulie-Goblin Tags

Five Little Pumpkins Sitting On A Gate
Anonymous

Five little pumpkins sitting on a gate,
The first one said,
"Oh my, it's getting late."
The second one said,
"But we don't care."
The third one said,
"I see witches in the air."
The fourth one said,
"Let's run, and run, and run."
The fifth one said,
"Get ready for some fun."
Then whoosh went the wind,
and out went the lights,
And five little pumpkins rolled out of sight!

Hello friends! Can you tell that I'm really getting into the ghoulie-goblin spirit? That's why I couldn't resist sharing that darling of a poem and Mr. Pumpkin up there with you.

Now, let's get on with my second halloween offering! They are tags filled with spooky and yet funny halloween elements.


These tags are so versatile. They can turn plain glassine bags into these...


Inside each bag are two ordinary lollies, but with some orange curling ribbons and my ghoulie-goblin tags they become very extra special.


These packet of goodies will surely make anyone with a sweet tooth happy.

Trick or Treat

Happy Monday everybody! I am so excited to finally be able to share with you halloween projects I've been working on for the past week.

Here are 3" x 3" pumpkin orange treat bags that can cold a KitKat or two Hershey's nuggets. Aren't they adorable? Any child or grown-up will surely go batty after receiving one of these.


Check out the awesome stickers I embellished them with. Spoooooky cool, huh?!


That's all for today folks. Come back again tomorrow to see what else I have in store for you.

A Fufulicious Affair

After months of planning and several visits to the center of the universe (wink! wink!), Andie's 1st birthday party finally arrived. The safari themed party was aptly held in Grilla last Sunday. There was an overflowing of food and BBZ.


Of course Paperworks was there to join in on the fun.


Here I am explaining to the kiddos how to design their scrapbook pages for Andie.


The embellishment buffet.


Artists hard at work.




The beginning of something...


WONDERFUL!
