Yes, this girl has completed yet another eye drawing sketchbook! *high fives all around*
And here are the last two drawings in my current sketchbook. :)
Thursday
A page from the gratitude journal - coordinated gift set
Sometimes, I think we need to pat ourselves on the back for a job well done. I love this coordinated gift set I made for my Aussie bestie Lizzy last year. It was really pretty and a total labour of love.:)
Tuesday
Reworking a gifted card to make it my own
Haven't made a card in a while and really needed one to add to a birthday gift box for my cousin. Instead of starting from scratch, I decided to challenge myself to rework on a gifted card to make it more my style....you know, with the bits and bobs from my scrap pile.*winks*
Here was the original.
What do you think? Is the reworked card more my style?

Make Stuff Monday - fun decorated upcycled envelope
Happy Monday friends! Here is this week's Make Stuff Monday project - a fin decorated upcycled envelope! :)
Can you tell where the envelope was from?
It's actually the sample envelope from Kiehl's that I've been upcycling for years. I usually cover the whole thing up with a piece of patterned paper. This time I decided to use the border on the envelope as part of my design to "frame my scene". I think it turned out quite decent. What do you think?
Friday
Friday's desk - new stuff
Haven't had much creative time this week so I'm sharing new stuff I have in my life...like this new Canon Pixma printer! Isn't she pretty?
I have been using mostly my Canon Selphy photo printers in the last two years because my old larger photo Canon Pixma printer (a 10 year old) can't connect to my MacBook Pro. Since I still have packs of A4 photo paper, I decided to just buy a new wireless printer at S$174....
And they even threw in a fancy handheld fan (worth S$105) as a free gift.
Enjoy your weekend friends!
Tuesday
The week in 6 eye drawings
Going full-steam ahead with the eye drawings in my toned tan sketchbook. Just 2 more eye drawings and I would have completed another eye sketchbook *high fives all around*!
Monday
This week's page from the gratitude journal - My Melody overload
Remember last year when my sister got me this cute My Melody hand towel? Super cute. Of course I had to decorate with My Melody elements like the washi tape and cute stickers (No worries, I have 4 sheets worth!*LOL*)
Thursday
Day out - Turkish food for dinner
Last Saturday we finally went to attend a Sephora event followed by some lovely Turkish food for dinner. It's been hard to attend Sephora events of late because we now have another kid in the house. Nephew #3 has moved in to stay with us, less than a year after nephew#1 moved back home (he's now in Melbourne). Nephew #1 stayed with us for 6 years. I'm not one to air out family's dirty laundry...I can only say not all parents are good parents.
Anyway, the folks were excited to have Turkish food for dinner (not currently a cuisine in my cooking repertoire..*winks*). They each chose their own plate while my sister and I shared a mixed grill plate for 2 (pictured) It was pretty good. :)
Wednesday
From the gratitude journal - Balmuda toaster oven
This week's page from the gratitude journal is an ode to my beloved Balmuda toaster oven. After a wait of 3 years, she was finally mine. And I love her.
I did watch a gazillion YouTube videos about all the various ways to get the most out of your Balmuda toaster oven since it cost a pretty penny. But for the past year, I've mostly used her for toast. *LOL* Well, frozen sourdough bread gets toasted to perfection in this toaster oven. Beats the conventional oven, the pan on the stove and the airfryer. All of which this gal owns too. *winks*
P/s: How do you like to toast your bread?
Tuesday
Two weeks' worth of eye drawings
This is possibly the only creative thing I've been keeping up with lately. So here is two week's worth of eye drawings! *winks*
Happy week ahead friends!
Friday
Workspace Friday - on my desk
Feeling a little burnout so taking it easy this week. Got myself some lilies. And did a little eye drawing. :)
Hope you are taking time for a little self-care. Happy weekend friends!
Tuesday
A page from the gratitude journal - birthday flowers
Throwback to March last year when nephew #1 bought me flowers for my birthday. This year, he wished me happy birthday from Melbourne, Australia where he is pursuing his medical degree.
Thursday
Thursday's desk - another week in eye drawings
So I was in Bangkok last week and managed to sneak in a few drawings during happy hour...*yay...go me!*
I was furiously getting my eye drawn before I lost daylight....
While the servers made sure I had a replenishment of gin and tonic....
Gasp! Do I draw better while intoxicated? *dramatic music plays in the background*
Happy Thursday friends! :)
