Holiday Knit

It is the season to be merry and bright together with our family and the people closest to our hearts. It is such a wonderful blessing being with them not only with this time of the year but also  the whole year round. Challenging it may seem to juggle roles and responsibilities this holiday season, I’m happy I am able to fix it. I did a balancing act  in between my work, my studies, my friends and my family. And able to prepare little treats for them for Christmas. To add up in my happiness meter, I am able to wear my favorite knitted jade-colored sweater from Forever 21. It saves me from the cold temperature during Simbang Gabi and late night get together with my closest friends. There will be no reasons for me not to love this warm and lovely knit. And there will be no reasons for me not to remember that this is the season for me to spend time with my love ones, to be grateful and to share blessings to other people. And of course,  to dress up happily with the cool weather. (smiles:))

I wore this knit in many different ways that surely made my holidays warm & fun. ( I will post soon about this!)

Keep Moving Forward

I usually do paper cutting during my free time. I am happy I was able to cut again with the help of my old craft knife. I will definitely have another paper cutting work to do before the year ends. I am excited to share it soon!

Parol


The fast paced days made me more excited for the holidays. It’s already December and it’s true that people nowadays including myself is getting busier than ever— preparing long lists of presents to give, checking huge sales from one mall to another, searching the web for DIYs wraps, cards, tags and even decors. I realized that it is good to have a planner or a little notepad to keep me guided with all the things to be done without forgetting the true meaning of this holiday season. With that, I am sharing this  DIY paper Parol that my mom taught me. (Parol  means Christmas lantern in Filipino.) This craft reminded me that the season is not only about sharing but also making things from the heart.
