Decorative Christmas Tag

Introducing Mr. Snowman!

I was breezing through SM's piles and piles of Christmas wraps and tags, then I saw Mr. Snowman.

Mr. Snowman kasi... wala lang. (I just called it Mr. Snowman)

It was perfect for our Silver and Blue theme. It's made out of a thin card, with a metallic front. If you're interested, they have other tags in different designs and colors. So cute, that you wanna buy them all.

Maybe you noticed that there's not a single homemade twig on my Christmas Tree. The twigs landed on my altar around the statue of Mama Mary. I saw the beauty of my twigs right beside our Lady.

Mr. Snowman came in more than just a tag. I used it to replace the twigs for my Christmas Tree. I just experimented on it first, then my son loved it. I now call it a decorative tag. By the way, all of our Christmas greetings are going to be handwritten by Franky!

Sharing My Blessings This Holiday Season

I prayed for something better, this year it is going to be different.

I know it is very unnecessary to mention charity works or count the no. of times we've done this deed. But with the big change, let me share this good news to you guys. Charity work has always been part of my life not only during the holiday season, I giveaway stuff monthly. The only exception I have every Christmas is giving more than the usual.

I am very happy to share that aside from our monthly charity contribution, I will be giving away some of my Red Ribbon gift certificates as gifts this Holiday Season.

To be honest, the total amount of GCs I got was just too grand for me. 3- 4 cakes to celebrate my birthday, Christmas, New Years and my husband's birthday is enough. Not to forget, the Cake Coupon I received just recently. The blessings... it's over flowing. I thought, I'll save the rest of my GCs and wait for Christmas to give it away. I haven't given them out yet, but just the thought of it, it's so humbling.

It is one of the special envelops that I will be giving away on Christmas. I also plan to ask my mom to create an extra game on Christmas day, a set from GCs is going to be the prize.

* I would like to thank Red Ribbon for the wonderful experience.

Awards Doesn't End Here

They say that apologies are unnecessary online. Especially if it has something to do with blogs. Like missing posts, unable to comment at some point or not being able to blog hop. With mine, my only concern is not being able to post awards and tags that was shared to me by my fellow blog mates and friends. Awards and tags are very important for me. Not that it's an "award" per se. I'm after the thought and care that my fellow blogger showed- remembering me for that certain award.

The past months became an adjustment period for me. I was coping with being a mom who does multitasking everyday. I started family life without any helper around. It's just me and my husband helping each other. I do realize that since my son started going to school, my blogging pace has changed. I know that the responsibility will be greater as my child grows up and as the family grows bigger.

If I missed posting some awards and tags, please accept my apologies for not being able to...I am very thankful and grateful for the people who always remembers Sweet Nothings inspite of its slow pace in the blogosphere. Hugs!

Now after all the drama. I would like to thank the following bloggers :

Let me start with Mommy Jac. Thank you Mommy for being sweet and thoughtful.

All 3 sets of awards are from Mommy Jac. I had to do a collage of everything. It was overwhelming to see tons of awards given to me, one after the other.

Thanks to Mommy Tetcha for being so thoughtful.

The Butterfly Blogger Award, Most Inspirational Award and Heart of a Dragon


To Chris---I owe you lots and lots of MM entries. I sure do miss joining weekly memes. I have one reason why most of the time I can't join MM. My Picture folders are in total chaos right now. I'm really hoping that I can fix it soon, so I can get pictures for my entries.

Thank you Chris for this award and Thank You for serving us inspiration through Blogging.



To Kikamz and Mommy Jac... Thank you...

Pixel Bug Weekend- Meralco's Maliwanag Ang Pasko 2009

I have been missing a lot on PBW. For the past weeks, we have been busy with work and school. Then we end up saving the weekends to rest. This past weekend, we went out and continued our usual weekend exploration. Sunday was the main highlight. Aside from doing some clothes shopping, we also went to see Meralco's Christmas display.

I've heard about this over the news late last month. Lucky we were at the Ortigas area, so we decided to drop by. It's for free my dear friends. Bring your family over, the kids will love it.

It was a fun night. The season is actually here. The breeze of the cold weather, shopping here and there, lights everywhere, the gentle smell of our cold mornings and cool evenings.

All we wanted as parents is to see our child enjoy whatever our community has to offer. Franky was very much entertained by the lights that surrounds the Meralco grounds.

Inspirations: Consistency Is A Gift

Please refer to these words:

Consistency- firmness, harmony, compatibility, holding together and a retaining form
Constant- faithful, persistent

So what did I learn from the last event I went to... Consistency in general is a gift.

Constant when it comes to relationships, constant purposes and reasons why you are present, constant on just being true to others and being yourself. With consistency and balance, we bring good vibes and positive thoughts. Be a friend to everybody.

"My life is a joy filled with love, fun and friendship all I need to do is stop all criticism, forgive, relax and be open."

"I am my own unique self - special, creative and wonderful"
