And just like that we are a week into the new year. For today's Make Stuff Monday, I'm sharing my first decorated paper bag of 2024! :)
I started with this sturdy paper bag which I got when I attended a recent event at Sephora.
I really like the background paper so I just inked the edges and created my "scene" with the busy background.
A new year means it's time to start replenishing the decorated gift box stash! *winks*
I was recently gifted some fun girl stickers and used one as the muse for my fun scene.:)
Did I finish with shimmering mist? Of course! *LOL*
Happy weekend friends!:)
P/s: This was a Fresh skincare gift box.
Yes, still trying to finish up my gratitude journal from 2023 while I wait for my 2024 journal to arrive. Sharing a double page spread with just one photo and using a fun girl with a MacBook cutout since that represented what I got...*winks*
I repeated elements on both pages to create cohesiveness... did it work?
Happy New Year friends! Hope your start to 2024 has been awesome so far! :)
First up, a layout from last December. Just my folks posing with Christmas trees. *winks*
This year has been particularly challenging for me...both in terms of mental and physical health. However, there were so many things that I did do that I'm proud of.
And I did not fall behind on the memory-keeping front either...the family scrapbook is up-to-date! *high fives all around*
Thanks for keeping me company on this journey called life friends. Adulting is hard.
I hope you spend the last 10 days of the year doing things you enjoy, in the company of people you love. Happy holidays! See you in 2024!
These days I just bring the folks along when I head to town to run errands. :)
They still love to head to the Loccitane counter to apply the hand cream after a visit to the loo, *LOL*
Of course, the troublemaker (aka dad) will give you a sad face even when he gets a sweet treat. *winks*
This year I got myself the Loccitane advent calendar...isn't she pretty? *high fives all around*
They launched 2 versions this year - the regular box version and the reusable version. I went with the reusable version because ....
....it is actually a toiletries bag! :)
Such a clever design this year. Can't wait to use it on my next trip.
What about you? Did you get yourself an advent calendar this year?
The other day, dad went to attend a friend's daughter's wedding and mum wanted to go shopping. So we had a mother-daughter day out in town.
It was so crowded everywhere. We could hardly find a place to sit and rest...the malls in Singapore definitely need to provide more seating areas for families to rest while shopping.
