DIY: Flower Lollipops for Mother's Day

Mother's Day at CRC Church ( Check out Sofi & her mom Jen of Shopgirljen.blogspot.com)

Our little Mother's Day project in Children's Church yesterday was a sure hit.  The Flower Lollipops are so cute & easy to do. The children, particularly the girls, giddily made their gifts.  The Moms were so surprised and kilig when they received their special candy flowers since it's different from the usual Mother's Day card we normally do.

[FREE PRINTABLE] Mother's Day Coupons

Still contemplating what to give to Mom this Mother's Day? Think no more cause I'm giving away Mother's Day Coupons for all!

Version 1: Add your own disclaimers if you wish

Creative, right? The idea is inspired by my sister, she sometimes attaches small coupon-like Post-its/ promise notes in her greeting cards whenever she's out of budget to buy a gift or forgot to buy one.  I've provided 2 versions by the way, feel free to use or edit it.

Say it with Chalk Ink Markers

While getting a fix of Roasted Chicken Pesto & Shiitake Mushroom Sandwich at Starbucks today, I spotted these cool markers at the counter - Chalk Ink Markers!  The Barista said they use these for their chalkboard art & announcements in and outside the store, unfortunately she doesn't know where to buy it.  I wonder if our local bookstores have these... help?

Top 5 Picks: "Gift Ideas for Sis"

Happy Birthday Hannah Batsykow!

It's my 'lil sister's birthday today so I'm dedicating this post for her - and for those who're still clueless what to give her.  She's actually all grown up now, but she'll always be my baby sis. :-) 

Here are Ate's top 5 gift ideas for Sis, which i'm sure she'll definitely love:

1.  Make up! Make up! Make up!

Sis likes to play w/ her eye shadows. 
You can tell her mood with her eye makeup :-)

2.  Makeup classes

Fab for her sideline/ fall back career
but make sure she'll agree w/ my % commission per booking!

3.  Shopping Spree :-)

For more fab clothes + accessories, a girl can't get enuf right? x_X 
(i'm starting to think this is not a good idea, clean closet muna!)

4.  Bookstore Gift Check  



For Sis' archi & artsy supplies + some organizers/ boxes pls!





5.  Camera

How about a new cam for her OTD & endless self portraits? 
Mmm, but it has to be shock & water proof w/ built-in charger
para di nawawala!

Love you Sis!  Stay pweety!
