This week’s Happy Planner layout is all about pastel vibes and positive energy! I used the Boss Babe, Mood Tracking, and This Is My Year sticker books — and this week’s sentiments are such good reminders to keep me grounded:
- Grow your own way
- I will only attract good things today
- My possibilities are endless
- Celebrate small victories
- Reminder: You don’t have to be perfect. Just be authentically you!
I kept things colorful but simple this week, with more space than usual — deadlines are coming in fast! 😅 It’s also World Cardmaking Day (which, let’s be honest, feels more like a month-long celebration for us crafters, hehe).
And speaking of crafting… I have a new Design Team!
If you missed it, I recently joined @miquekascrap, a Spain-based DT with a bunch of super talented ladies! You can read more about it here. I’ve already finished my first project, but it won’t go live until next next weekend — so for now, here’s a little peek:
And another team announcement coming up soon too… hehehe stay tuned!
Last week was all about cards too with Stashtember — I managed to finish 26 out of 30 prompts, not bad! We also had a quick day trip to Bahrain last Friday — just a full day of good company, Filipino food, coffee, and of course… more food!

Lucky last Friday, as if asking me if I am sure I'd rather go to Bahrain than craft and hang out with him. |

Sharing a view from our drive from Saudi to Bahrain. My friend Tanya always says photos I send are like in sepia filter. I sent her this. haha |

Just a tiny sisig snob moment 😜 Only Relish and Manam for me, thank you very much! |
Reading has been slow lately — two books finished and one ongoing. I tried a few new authors this time — Liz Nugent and Katherine Greene, both interesting!
Oh, and guess what? 🎄 Christmas countdown: 80 days to go!
I also signed up for a Winter Market next month (eeek!). I’ve been wanting to see if there’s a market for handmade crafts here in Saudi Arabia, so I’m taking the leap! A bit scary, but mostly exciting. I’ve made so many things — from cards to mini albums to decor — and it’s time to share them with the world. Here’s the pub I made for it (still tweaking it a bit before posting publicly, but sharing it here first):
Ending this week’s post on a happy note — grateful for creative opportunities, supportive hubby and fam, and new adventures ahead.
Here’s to celebrating small victories and growing our own way.
We were waiting for our Shawarma Rice as I read your blog, and your Bahrain food photos made me very hungry! Hahaha!
