The Irish Blessings’ Friendship Proverb

May there always be work for your hands to do,

may your purse always hold a coin or two.

May the sun always shine on your window pane,

may a rainbow be certain to follow each rain.

May the hand of a friend always be near you,

may God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.

Passing this to my online friends who never fails to visit my blog: Tracy, EJ, Ibyang, Junelle and Bena.

Have a nice day to all! ;)

Fine Jewelry Making

Happy 2009 to everyone!

2008 has been a good year to me. It was the year i started this blog and at the same time joined the World of Digiscrapping. I have made new friends and gaining more as time passes on, thanks to Blogger and all the Digiscrappers ;).

Been hibernating for a couple of weeks now and I think that’s enough for me to get energize to start blogging again. Well, im really back and i would like to document the things that kept me busy while im away particularly the trainings ive attended under our HR programs:

- Social Artistry, 1 day class, at the Ayala Museum, facilitated by Filipinas Heritage

- enrolled to a basic driving lessons (5days) under our HR Training, conducted by SMART Driving School.

- New Age Writing, 3days

- since i've already taken the basic and advance beadworks, i have this time attended a Fine Jewelry Making under our HR Training at CITC, Marikina. The finished product is a silver woven bracelet. To share the steps on how to, here's another LO:

(1 - Materials: Silver and Alloy; 2 - Alloying; 3 and 4 - Melting; 5 - Solid Silver; 6 - Flattening; 7 - Heating; 8 - Apply water; 9,10 & 11 - Stretching; 12 - Tools for the bracelet; 13, 14 & 15 - Weaving; 16 - bracelet; 17 - final product with support)

I Love Santa

Nowadays, AJ is feeling so close with Santa especially during our weekend malling. Just last year, he's still scared to get near with Santa but now he's totally different. At least, he gets to enjoy the moment, and i hope he's still on that same attitude towards Santa until the Children's Christmas Party he's attending for an alive Big Santa will be there! :D

Another LO of my little man together with Santa, with a ready smile on his face!

Coffee Break ver. 1.47

My best and happiest childhood memory of Christmas was when my father was still with us celebrating our yearly Noche Buena. We see to it that we hear mass at 10pm till midnight of December 24 and after which, we gather together for a simple feast and then the most awaiting portion of the night-- opening of gifts. Until now, we continue the family tradition though hardly complete anymore as my other siblings have their own family gatherings/activities.

Another one fondest memory I’ll never ever forget was when I was still in grade school up to my high school years, I remember my mother creating and decorating our own lantern out of the traditional materials—bamboo split, Japanese paper and cellophane. And most of the time, my mother made use of the old frame from previous year. It was a good feeling to reminisce the time that I was helping her specifically on the part of filling in of the paper curls to the round bamboo framing the star. I also remember that even my neighbors asked for help of my mother to cut the design for the tail part of their lantern.

But now, no one is doing that anymore ‘coz you can readily buy it from stores/markets/malls. ;-)

It was a nice coffee break. Thanks Jan!

A Perfect Blend of Friendship Award

I received this award from Sis LorieM.

Thanks a lot Sis LorieM!
I'm sharing this friendship award to Sis Sol and Sis Angeleigh

To all my friends, Thanks for visiting!

Mica & Erik

We had our long weekend vacation at Lipa, Batangas. Again, my son was so thrilled to see his cousins as this would mean fun playtime for him. At my free time, I was able to do an AVP for my niece and nephew since they had just attended/participated in their school's 8th foundation day. Since its a mixture of photos and video of their dances--mica dancing novelty songs and erik in a modern dance, it was a large file. Just had the thought of including a digiscrap page in the AVP so i made one for the title page (see below) and another two pages as introductory for each dance video. Added some thoughtful message for their Daddy (who's working at Singapore) at the end in case they would want to send it to him. :D

A Gift: Baptismal Invite and Thank You Tag

A gift to a friend/kumare for her new baby's baptismal. Since there's no available picture of the baby at hand, i made use of the baby's name as main element of the invite. Gladly, my kumare was so grateful of my effort and happy from the result of the layout despite absence of photo of her precious 'Rheane Andrea'. Photo of invites was taken from my CP that's why it has poor resolution.
