Rubber-cut Stamp Workshop

Early last May, I dragged my youngest sister to accompany me to one of Alessa Lanot's (www.lifeafterbreakfast.com) Rubber-cut Stamp Crafternoons. I attended Fozzy's calligraphy worshop by my lonesome and it was, well, lonely haha. I'm not good at making friends instantly, and most of the participants also brought along friends and family.

Alessa was with Mansy of www.heyhessy.com (washi tape galore!) We were provided with rubber blocks, carving tools and tracing paper (and a yummy merienda of Pipino's cold buckwheat soba noodles and lumpia). We were instructed to draw our design on the tracing paper and then rub them on the rubber afterwards, thereby producing the reverse of the design. Then, we had to stamp our own fabric tote bag and a scarf.

Raffles and Me

Early this month I learned that I won a pair of Feiyue sneakers from Karrot Nazareno's (@karotitay) Live Love Lolz Facebook give-away. When the pair arrived, they were too large for me. I contacted Karrots and Feiyue and they said I could exchange them in my size. Thankfully, hubby was in the mood to venture out to Ortigas.

Currently breaking them in, like right now. And I'm reflecting how I'm a "bit" lucky in raffles - years ago, I won P25,000 in a Smart raffle, then I've won twice (minor prizes though) in office-wide raffles (population:1,000 employees). I say I'm only a "bit" lucky because I'm still waiting to win a car or a house and lot in supermarket raffles! :)

Spiderman 3 x Snow Patrol

Yeah, yeah, I'm years late in liking Snow Patrol's "Signal Fire." Discovered the video over the week-end. Good vibes. :)
