Why I Keep Creating | Bee Happy Weeklies Week 22

Every now and then, I come across a creative prompt that feels like it was made just for me — and Bee Happy’s Weeklies Week 22 did exactly that.


The question was simple: “What’s your reason for creating?”

Click here to watch the process video for this project. It’s one of those “go with the flow” pieces that came together naturally — no overthinking, just creating. Honestly, it’s another reminder that I do my best work when I let instinct lead the way

 

And I love that Bee Happy always ends the month with these kinds of prompts — the ones that go deeper than just making a cute project. These are the moments where we get to pause, reflect, and share our stories.


For me, creating (paper crafting) started as something I picked up in 2020 — in the middle of all the chaos and uncertainty. I just needed a way to stay busy, to feel grounded, to hold onto something good when the world felt uncertain.


What I didn’t expect was how deeply it would become a part of my life.


Crafting became more than paper and glue. It became a way to slow down, a space where I could just be. A way to express myself — in color, in texture, in tiny details that speak volumes even when I can’t find the right words.


Now, it’s my sanctuary. My joy.


Whether I’m making something for myself or creating a little handmade piece to share with someone else, it always brings me a sense of calm and connection. And honestly? It just makes me happy — and I love that happiness has a way of spreading when it’s made with heart.


So thank you, Bee Happy Crafts, for the thoughtful prompt — and for reminding us that behind every project is a person, a story, and a reason worth sharing.


If you’re a crafter too, I’d love to hear your why. 💛

If you’re a crafter too, I’d love to hear your why. 💛

10 Years Married: From 8AM Vows to Riyadh City Lights

I t feels like just yesterday when we said  I do  at 8AM — and I still remember thinking,  Why didn’t we make it 9 instead? Haha. But here we are, a decade into marriage, 14 years together, and living this unexpected chapter of our lives in Saudi Arabia. Watch our SDE here !💙 Currently, we’re based in  Al Ahsa , one of the oldest provinces in Saudi. For those unfamiliar, think of it as the  probinsya  version of Saudi — calm, rich in heritage, and definitely far from the city buzz. So for our 10th anniversary, we decided to shake (yesss - shake! lol) things up a bit and drive to  Riyadh , the capital. Imagine two  probinsyanas  from some quiet part of the Philippines heading to Manila — that was the vibe. The Road to Riyadh My favorite road sign! haha! We left Al Ahsa around 10AM and arrived in Riyadh a little past 1PM. (Yes, that’s 3+ hours on the road!) With check-in at the  Four Seasons Hotel  only starting at 4PM —  4PM, c...

All the Cricut MEA Prizes I’ve Won (So Far!)

I still remember the first time I joined Cricut MEA’s Ramadan Challenges back in March 2024. I was so excited to take part daily — crafting along with the community for almost 25 days straight — until I was told that Saudi Arabia couldn’t join. 😢 Fast forward to December 2024, and everything changed! Cricut MEA officially opened up the challenges to Saudi residents — and I didn’t waste a second. I jumped right into their Christmas Countdown Challenges, and from then on, I’ve joined every single challenge they’ve hosted. December 2024 January 2025 February 2025 March 2025 And now… LOOK AT THIS LOOT! 😍 Watch my unboxing reel here. A huge, heartfelt thank you to Cricut and Monster Middle East for organizing such fun and inspiring events. My crafty heart is full, and my shelves… well, they might be full too. 😅 And of course, none of this would be possible without my husband, who has been 100% supportive of all my crafty adventures from day one. ❤️️ Stay tuned — I’ll be sharing more of w...

Happy Cutie-versary, Kelly Bangs!

Can you believe it’s been  five whole years  of Cutie craftiness?! Kelly Bangs is celebrating her 5th Cutie-versary, and as the Design Squad is joining in on the fun!   To mark the occasion, I made a mini album using a mix of some of my favorite Cutie-versary elements — like the adorable Cutie Pie trophies, Florals Greatest Hits (for florals are forever a fave!), The Shape Parade (tags and squares), Mini Guest Checks, and those sweet Scout Friends. It’s a cheerful little project that made me smile from start to finish… even with a  tiny  hiccup. Here’s the funny part: I finished decorating all the inside pages first — each one carefully layered with a piece from The Shape Parade (square) then I went ahead and glued the cover on  upside down.  😅 So now all the pages (especially the ones with the letters and number print) are technically flipped. But honestly? That’s one of the things I love most about crafting — the little mistakes that turn into happ...
