Reliving Childhood Memories

Unplanned activity: transfer old photos to new albums.

Old album, really worn out and torn apart

Imagine the smell of old paper, very nostalgic. It brought back beautiful memories from Dubai.

Taking picture before throwing it. It's time to embrace the new.

Done transferring the photos.
Duration: 2 days - it was worth it. It feels I have gotten to know my parents more and our families, too.

My sister's section.

Me!See those molds? Glad I was able to save some of the photos.

Done.

Seasonal Gift Wrapper

Out of the blue, my mother and my sister gave me all the stuff that need to be wrapped.  I was done weeks ago and they asked me today to wrap their gifts as well, busy raw sila. :P

Gratitude Jar

I read something today and got so inspired by it. Such a beautiful idea, so I made one right after I had yoga.

You just need a jar, a ribbon (optional), a pen, a notepad, and something to be grateful for for today. I am sure, you have one.

Here's my gratitude jar and see there my first gratitude note. :D

Mask, color and memorabilia

When I am getting a decor or pieces for the home, I always get it by instinct.

Wear the Batman from Mcdo's Happy Meal. I love how it's made and I know it makes a great decor in any room.

These two were gifts and I think they make great accent pieces because of their bright colors.

Bubba Gump is very memorable to me so the memorabilia from them must be present in the room. And the Christmas angel is my only Christmas decor in the room.

Some more.
