Breaking my No Spend Streak

-
So this came in the mail today! I bought these from the Plannablers Destash Sale last Thursday on Facebook. I asked the shop owners like an hour after saying "Mine" if I could pay now so they can ship asap! Lol! They said yes and I'm majorly ecstatic!

I've been wanting a new planner for weeks now. I want a separate planner for my business over at Craft and Knicnax so that it's easier for me to see and track things I have to do for the shop. Things tondo for the shop has been taking over my BuJo and as much as I love writing down stuff in my bullet journal, I'd rather have my business tasks and ideas separate and easily accessible. :)

I also bought this scoreboard from Facebook (the planner community in Facebook is awesome!). I've been wanting to have one for some time but I can't justify getting one because I rarely make cards anyway. But since part of my business is making invitations, I know this will come in handy. I also need it for folding the envelopes I make for sending out stickers via courier. This arrived last Friday! A pleasant surprise after getting home from the clinic because of the Oral Glucose Tolerance Test.

To my pleasant surprise, it has an envelope scoring guide on the reverse side of it! I can make regular envelopes with it! Yay!

I haven't spent on anything for quite some time and these 2 purchases (plus a lot more for the shop) has been fun because even if they are for the business, I know I'll enjoy using them and creating things for my shop patrons

Now off to hustle and earn back what I spent!

Revampimg my new Craft Nook: Phase 1

-

 We moved back to my parents' place immediately after I gave birth to my darling baby girl. So far it is one of the best decisions we have made as a family! Moving houses means a new craft nook layout, I was pretty nervous about how I'll set up my craft nook, especially my video rig, because the last time we stayed here, we were staying in the smallest room. Back then it was enough for our small family. That was also back when my craft stash was really small. Noq, my parents let us stay in my childhood room that I used to share with my sister. I love it because it's the 3rd (or maybe 2nd) largest room in the house. The down side is, we can't remove the big, old TV cabinet and bookshelf, which means we dont really have that much space working for us because our bed is humongous. In the end, I settled for using the small bookshelf as our cabinet. Some parts of the TV cabinet are being used for our clothes, baby things and craft storage. I placed my table in one

Prima Watercolor Confections Decadent Pies for coloring

I got my order of Prima Watercolor Decadent Pies last June 11, 2018 and I'm super excited to try it out. It's my second artist grade watercolor (Peerless was my first, check out my review here ) and I'm very excited to try it! Prima Watercolors are marketed to the crafting, card-making, scrap-booking, and coloring community. When you look for reviews in the watercolor art community, you wont see a lot of reviews for the brand. The watercolor is advertised as artist grade, high-quality, and highly pigmented. The company hasn't disclosed the type or source of pigments so there are no technical details about the light-fastness of the watercolors, which I believe is one of the factors why this brand hasn't infiltrated the watercolor art community yet. The watercolors are packaged to be an on-the-go watercolor palette. It comes in a nice black tin can with an aluminum finger hold at the bottom. When you open the tin, there's another aluminum cove

An attempt for Bathroom Sessions

Okay, I haven't thought of a nice title for my guitar sessions and this first 1 isn't at the bathroom, it's in my lil bro's room. This is just an attempt so it's not a full song or anything. Overjoyed as popularized by Stevie Wonder Chords: Intro: C B7 Bb7M B7 C B7 Bb7M A Stanza: D Bm Em - A Overtime, I've been building my castle of love D Bm E - F# Just for two, though you never knew you were the reason B F# I've gone much too far for you now to say Bm E A That I've got to throw my castle away D Bm Em - A Over dreams, I have
