The Caricature Craze!

I just thought—what if I scrapped our current lives and hobbies altogether?

Not out of boredom, not out of frustration, but out of curiosity. What if we hit reset, tossed the rulebook, and followed whatever sparks excitement? What if life wasn’t about sticking to what we know, but chasing what makes us feel most alive?

So here we are—me, Luigi, and Chuy—imagining new versions of ourselves, driven by curiosity, chaos, laughter, and the thrill of trying something wildly different. This is our little experiment: a playground where we explore what excites me, what energizes Luigi, and what lights up Chuy. No pressure, no permanence—just discovery.

Huge thanks to ChatGPT for helping us splash color onto this idea and turn it into something playful, vivid, and alive.

Here goes nothing—and maybe everything!

 

Professor and Crafter... I am a College Professor teaching Management and Economics courses, and I have a great passion on Scrapbooking and other crafts. I used here DCWV pps, Bazzil cardstock, DMC threads, buttons, metal embellishments, brads and ribbons.

Entrepreneur and Cyclist... That is my Luigi! He took over our family business on food and finds time to bike for his exercise. I used here. Bazzil PPs, DMC threads, clear buttons, lots of paper scraps, ribbons, brads and cardstock sticker.

Chef and Gamer... This is my Chuy! He dreams to be a good Chef one day, now trained to be one in school while computer games makes him wild! I used here Prima pps, Bazzil cardstocks, ribbons, pearl stickers, brads and metal embellishments.

I can’t get enough of creating. It’s built into my system—an endless urge to imagine, shape, and bring things to life. Happy scrapping!

Ribbons for Headbands!

Happy Easter Everyone!

I thought this would be the best way to unwind from work and regain the much-needed faith and belief that sustain us Catholics. Holy Week is now being celebrated—a sacred commemoration of the life, passion, and death of Jesus Christ. There are many ways to observe it: hearing Mass, joining foot processions, attending church vigils, going on visita iglesia, and even taking a quiet side trip to the beach for reflection.

This year, however, Mommy is sick for the second time. It’s always the cough and colds that bring her down. Still, with the pneumonia and flu vaccines she received last year, I believe she’ll recover soon and be back to enjoying life—attending gatherings and dancing with her friends once again.

I know I have to take care of my sanity too! With the stress of caring for my Mom, I had to find a joyful outlet. So I opened my craft cabinets and found my four trays of ribbons. I decided to make headbands and clips as giveaways for the flower girls at my son’s upcoming wedding.

And so… here goes—one ribbon, one moment of calm, and one act of love at a time.

Headbands... This was once my business before I went to teaching. Its so amazing and therapeutic in making them since then. I used my old ribbons, some hot glue and ordered the satin cloth covered headbands from shopee which happily arrived yesterday. I am still waiting for the metal clips for the pony tails. I’m truly excited. Sometimes, returning to what once made us happy is exactly what we need to feel whole again.

Hope to share more on our wedding preps!

TFL!
