Back in the mixed media birdie playbook....using some neglected art supplies. :)
Friday
Pages from the gratitude journal - Miffy drink containers!
Got these Montigo Miffy drink containers last year in Kuala Lumpur. Still using and loving them. :) Except for the Miffy slingbag for the larger drink container. It's pretty useless from protecting the base of the container when you accidentally drop it. Needless to say, my base has been dinged a few times. *LOL*
Basically just cut out the container box to decorate these pages. :)
Tuesday
This week's blue mixed media birdie
Lots of fun with this one. Took out the Caran dAche Museum pencils. Forgot how pigmented they are. Finished with regular coloured pencils and acrylic paint markers. :)
Thursday
On a roll - a week of eye drawings
Made the effort to give myself more creative time this week...yay, go me! :)
Wednesday
Workspace Wednesday - getting into the vacuum-sealed life
It's been a process to cut down on the use of plastic containers at home for food storage. I started with Pyrex glass containers for the fridge storage and glass jars for dried food. I also added some stainless steel containers so that the folks can bring food out to share with their mates without the extra weight and breakage concerns.
Last month, I invested in a set of vacuum-sealed glass containers for leftover food and some food prep ingredients to help me deal with time-constrained days. They have been great so far. :)
I used the packaging leaflet for my page in the gratitude journal. Added some stickers for interest.
P/s: Have you gotten rid of plastic for food storage in your home?
Monday
Another Monday, another mixed media birdie
Decided to play with some neglected art supplies for this mixed media birdie! Yep, took my neglected Caran dAche Neocolors II for a little play time. Love how vibrant they get when they react to water.
Friday
Mummy Yam's birthday 2026
We recently celebrated Mummy Yam's birthday! :)
We went out for dinner...
And she chose her own birthday cake.
Really had fun with the white paint marker on this layout. :)
Happy weekend friends!
Thursday
New pink bedsheets...gratitude journal 2026
Recently this girl has been buying new lightweight cotton bedsheets in pink! Easy to wash and hang!
Super quick page...just cut out the packaging and added some fun stickers! :)
Tuesday
This week's eye drawing is done!
Look it's only Tuesday and I got my ONE eye drawing done! *winks*
It's been so hot lately that I seem to get less done so this is a win! Hope you are enjoying better weather. :)
Friday
Friday's desk - this week's mixed media eye
I'm really trying...but this eye took a week to complete! Hope you had more creative than me! :)
Happy weekend friends!
Wednesday
Gratitiude journal - SQ lounge in Bangkok
I really enjoyed the SQ lounge in Bangkok - possibly the best I've be to in the region. And it's located just above the boarding gate for the flight back to Singapore. So you can literally stay in the lounge till it's time to board the plane. :)
Tuesday
Another page from the Beijing trip
Beijing has really beautiful ancient architecture. Like the Temple of Heaven.
The place is huge (270 acres) and so many people dress up in period costumes to take photos.
The usual mish mash of packaging and scrap bits. :)
Monday
Mixed Media Monday - back in the birdie playbook
Really wanted to play with my neglected art supplies...and also do something fun. So back to the birdie playbook! *winks*
Played with acrylic paints, acrylic markers, water-soluble pencils and coloured pencils. :)
Thursday
Pages from the 2026 Gratitude Journal - Hanoi trip
Really happy to include travel ephemera in my gratitude journal to document my journey. These days I find myself more into appreciating life as it happens than always taking my phone out to take photos.
I usually take a hotel address card with me so I can arrange for deliveries to my hotel and instead of recycling the card, I just incorporated it in my gratitude journal...
