Too Bow or Not To Bow

Mom said it was too simple without the bow...and since she was the one attending the wedding...well she got her way...

Brown Paper Packages

I've always wanted to try krafting paper for my gift wrapping projects...so this year I did...well it's actually last year...the simple brown paper makes it possible to just put on any embellishments I want...since it's Christmas and I can't think of Christmas without glitters...I mainly used Christmas tree ornaments and garlands to put color and happiness to my brown paper packages...hehehe

Candies in a Rice Box

I got tired of putting candies in gift wrappers or paper bags...so this year I decided to put them in rice boxes/chinese take out boxes...and what do you know kids and adults alike loved it...

Boycotting The Holidays

We decided to boycott the Holidays this year...we wanted to take it slow and savor the moments of no work...we only got a few gifts for our people in the province...so this year it's was not so hectic for us...

this is us boycotting the Holidays...

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year everyone!!!

Personalize Them

I don't use gift cards with my gifts if I can help it.  But if I have difficulty in remembering which goes to whom, I try to personalize the gifts without using any gift cards.

This one is made by a friend who got inspiration from the above gifts. 

  This one is from a previous post Bright as a Feather.

 

There's no rule as to the materials used, as long as you get to personalize your gift and make it more unique that the recipient will remember it long after the gift is opened.

De La Rosa Family Reunion

It's been a while.  Sister, mum and moi were all busy not only with the holidays but also with the preparation for the upcoming De la Rosa Clan Reunion.  We, meaning sis, mum and I, were in charge of the program, decorations and invites, respectively.

Since invites go out before the event, I was on a tight schedule to finish the same by this month so they can go out by February and March, since the De la Rosa Clan are spread out all over the country.

Sis and mum also finished the programs and decors.  The programs will be sent out together with the invites, while the decors are ready to put up the day before the reunion.

Below are the invites, the programs and the souvenirs (made by mum) as evidenced of what we've been up to all these time.

Leave us a comment or an email to know what you think of this endeavor, or if you have inquiries. :)
