During Your Trip

Summer isn't over yet and some of you are still planning to go on a trip.  I just want to share with you some tips on how to have a memorable vacation.

1.  Save your boarding pass (if you took a plane) or your train or bus tickets, maps,fliers, receipts, newpaper clippings, a small amount of y in the local currency or any piece of evidence that proves you actually went to that destination.
2. List down the names of the places you visited as a well as their locations.  At the end of the day write about what you did, what you saw and any other interesting tidbits about the place.  If you don't list them down now, chances are, you'll forget them later.
3. Learn the language of the country or town you're visiting.  Jot down common phrases such as "hello" "good morning" and "thank you" in the local dialect.  While you're there use them as much as possible while talking to the locals.
4. Take lots of pictures!  Don't limit yourself to just taking photos of yourself and the sites--everyone has those. Instead, also take pictures of the people, the food, the clothes--immerse yourself in their culture as much as you can!  Then when you write your journal entry about the delicious local dessert you had at that small resto in the town, you'll have a picture to go with it. 
5. Buy a small token or souvenir from each place you visit such as key chain, magnet or t-shirt.  You can even start your own collection of tokens from all places you visit in the future. 

Watch out for my next blog post "After your trip"
So that's it! I hope you got some ideas on how to save your memories for a life time.

Graduation Card

It's March and graduation is just around the corner.  Everybody's getting emotional these days specially those who are graduating,because they will be separated from their friends and classmates.  Arrrrghh! It reminds me of my graduation last year.  I know they will also miss their school life, like what I felt.

Since some of my friend in college are graduating, I  decided to make a card  to greet them congratulations and to give some pieces of inspiration.  I was inspired to make a toga cap as a card to give a touch of uniqueness.

These cards has blue tassels because I will give these to my friends who took up education, just like their tassels in their real toga.

I used lace and button for this flower.

I don't know what kind of embellishment to put, that's why I made tickets to make it personalize.

I up-cycled an old denim to make this flower and added a button as a center.

These cards are for my friends who took up nursing, the reason why I used green as tassel to reflect their real tassel from their toga.

Enjoy R.N, to give an inspiration as they continue their journey in facing  their Nursing Licensure Exam to become a registered nurse.

I used a satin ribbon for this flower and a pearl for the center.



I hope you got  an inspiration from this cards.  Try it and you can even alter it.
Congratulations to class 2012!
Happy crafting! Till next time.

Guinness World Records

Hello crafters and travelers, I'm back!

I miss blogging, (urgggh!).

Some of you might know that I reviewed in Baguio City for my  Nursing Board Exam and I worked for 2 months in Cavite, that's why I failed to post here regularly. Who among you guys knows about the newest Guinness World Record largest ten commandments?  


That ten commandments is just walking distance from my boarding house in Baguio.  Sometimes during our review we need to unwind, because reviewing is a such stressful thing.  Since I know a place in Baguio City which is called the abandoned Diplomat Hotel where horror things happen, I invited my friends to have a tour there.  Not knowing that there is a new building inside the compound of that hotel, and that is the Largest Ten Commandments in the World.
