Just a quick upcycled decorated envelope to share today. The main fussy-cut piece was a watercolored print from my pal Lizzy so I just added some other complementary elements to complete the envelope.:)

Thursday
Another week another set of eye drawings in the toned tan sketchbook
Really enjoying the depth I can get with the toned tan sketchbook...
And seeing what I end up with. :)
Wednesday
Workspace Wednesday - blooms from the wholesale market
Went to the wholesale market and scored some lilies. Self-care never smelled so sweet. :)
Hope you are having a great week.
Tuesday
This week's page from the gratitude journal - Kuriya Dining's yusheng
There's this prosperity dish that we eat at Chinese New Year called yusheng. It's essentially a salad with raw fish slices. Everyone stands around the dish and mixes the salad with chopsticks while saying auspicious phrases.
The one at Kuriya Dining is hands down the best yusheng ever. Because the fish slices are cut sashimi style...thick and succulent...the way I like it. And they also add other seafood like prawns and fish roe. Great for those who enjoy seafood..like me. *winks*
Friday
Papa Yam's birthday 2025
We recently celebrated Papa Yam's birthday!
He got to choose the cuisine (he went with Thai) and also got his fave mango birthday cake.
Enjoy your weekend friends!
Wednesday
This week's eye drawings from the toned tan sketchbook
Still trying to get the hang of working on toned tan paper for my eye drawings...
I do enjoy the depth I can achieve with a few more layers. :)
Tuesday
This week's page from the gratitude journal - pineapple tarts
An ode to the pineapple tarts I make every Chinese New Year. They aren't difficult to make but they are very time-consuming to make. The dough has to be weighed. The filling has to be weighed. They then have to be rolled into balls, glazed with an egg yolk and milk mix and baked for 35 minutes. In my tiny oven for 3 rounds to get a total of 90 egg tarts. Which people just pop into their mouths like candy.
Which is why I only make them once a year. *LOL*
Monday
Another week, more birdies from the playbook
In case you were wondering, I tore some pages from an old cheap sketchbook and just glued them on my birdie playbook. It's thicker than the notepaper with a little bit of tooth but of course, not the best quality. You can see some peeling from areas where I added too much water. But I love that I "saved" the page with a mix of mediums. I forgot how fun it was to experiment!
Happy week ahead friends! :)
Friday
Friday's desk - three eye drawings for the week
This week has been particularly stressful so I'm back into my eye drawing therapy.
Still love blue eyes the most.
And yes, I've really been enjoying that neon pink coloured pencil. A lot. *winks*
Wednesday
Workspace Wednesday - pretties from a recent happy mail
Hello friends! Just wanted to share the pretties from a recent happy mail! Maybe you can spot some bits that I've already used? *winks*
Tuesday
Tuesday page from the gratitude journal - miniature Penhaligon's
I love my miniature perfumes...so I was really happy to be gifted these by my cousin. Since I printed a floral border design on the photo, I added a strip of vine washi tape to extend the theme. I went with a girly gal to "frame" the other side. I really like how this turned out. :)
Monday
Make Stuff Monday - blues on a decorated paper bag
Happy Monday! Just a quick decorated paper bag project with bits from a recent happy mail.
Tried to use the decorated collage piece as is and just added a few extra elements to make it more "me".
And here is my completed project. :)
What do you think?
Wednesday
Another week, more eye drawings from the toned tan sketchbook
Still enjoying my eye drawings despite being obsessed with mixed media birds at the moment. *LOL*
Yes, still enjoying the luminosity of those neon coloured pencils too. :)
Tuesday
Tuesday's page from the gratitude journal - cherry blossoms
I loved the cherry blossom branch I got from the Hanoi market. There were new blooms every day right until CNY. It did get fed with a sugar and vinegar solution every day for an extra boost. :)
