Happy Friday friends! Just sharing a quick decorated air mail envelope project. I get these bubble envelopes with my monthly organic ceremonial grade matcha...which are perfect for decorating and sending happy mail in. This one is going out to the Aussie bestie. :)
Hope you are enjoying the last month of the year. I have some Christmas decor up...that's a big win...since it didn't happen lat year. *LOL*
Haven't shared much of this year's family food. Here's what the Yams ate on Monday. All made by me of course. :)
We had braised sweet and sour pork ribs, stir-fried mixed veggies and wood ear mushroom salad.
I fussy-card the Fresh rewards illustration from the marketing flyer and added some more "blooms" with stickers. The red "frame" also came from a marketing pamphlet. I just adhered random bits of paper and stickers to add interest and texture.
Kept it simple (by my standards) with pops of texture and layers.
This week's page is all about cute nail stickers. I use my hands a lot so it's fun to look at cute stuff. *winks*
Really wanted to play with some pastels...
Which worked in contrast with the paper bag I had. :)
Just a mix of textures for interest....
Finished with a little shimmer mist of course. :)
The girl recently got a Faber Castell rollerball pen which came in a lovely sturdy box...and just had to make it a little prettier. *winks*
Here is the original box.
Happy weekend friends!:)
Been keeping it super simple this Christmas. Wrapping paper, glitter tape, stickers, twine and buttons.
These stickers make me smile.:)
Learning to crochet has been on my to-learn list for the longest time but for now, I'll still be picking up cuties when I see them. These two were bought from a street vendor at the Hanoi weekend market. Super cute pair!:)
I love how the water-soluble pencils add interest and depth to my drawings...
While keeping it "loose" and artsy. :)
While saving lots of time too.
Happy Thursday friends!
I remember queuing up for 45 minutes last year to eat at this twenty-seater Japanese restaurant in town. It was really really good. And reasonably priced for the quality of sashimi we got. Unfortunately it has since shuttered its doors. Like many good restaurants in Singapore. Glad I got to eat here once.
So I have a ton of floral watercolour practice pieces that I've accumulated over the years. They aren't fantastic but it seemed quite a waste to just throw them out. I decided to fussy-cut them and they actually look pretty decent. Going to use them on my layouts as decorative elements. :)
Do you keep all your artwork?
Last week my Pachira (Chinese Money Plant) bloomed for the first time. The bloom was really big and fragrant. I was in a hurry and thought that I would take a photo the next day. But the bloom only lasts for a single day. Fortunately there was another bud on the Pachira. Which I got a snap of. And it bloomed the next day! Even the neighbours came over to take photos. *LOL*
Really miss these one-dish meals I made last year that were way easier to prepare than the 3 dishes served with rice that I've been cooking most of this year. Need to get back to easier meals like this one. It was pretty tasty. :)
Scored a sturdy paper bag this week and just had to do a cute decorated Christmas bag. :)
Wrapping paper base, some washi tape and a Christmas sticker.
Hello friends! Just wanted to share some Monday cuteness! Got the Miffy head cushion for my desk chair...and got the mini Miffy head keychain for my bag. :)
Another one of those unrelated two page spreads...*winks*
On the left was the free yoga session that I enjoyed courtesy of Drunk Elephant and Sephora. This was last year when I attended lots of free events (mostly with the folks). There are considerably fewer events this year with limited slots (no doubt cost-cutting by the brands).
On the right was when we took the ferry ride to Batam, Indonesia for a short family vacation.
