Where everything is handmade…
Since I’m such a bad blogger… I am still trying to catch up some long overdue posts. Just a heads up, for the next few months, you’ll be reading throwback of my projects, collabs and everything in between. So, back in July of last year, I had a collab with Chimes for the launch of …
Hello there and happy happy New Year family and friends! This is probably one of the best Christmases and New Year I’ve had. Well, for one, we are spending the holidays with the entire family in Vancouver. Secondly, we have a new member in the family. My little cute nephew, Magnus. Such a wonderful gift …

For how many years now since I started blogging, I try to make a printable Christmas list so I can prepare the gifts I need to buy and budget it thoroughly. This time, I really need to prepare my gifts before second week of December as we will be spending Christmas and New Year in Vancouver with …
I’ve been addicted to podcasts lately. When I say addicted, as in literally listening to it 24/7. As I wake up in the morning; in the shower; working in my studio; driving, painting, everywhere, I tell you. Even when I’m about to sleep. You’ll hear it sometimes on my instagram stories. One time my boyfriend, Wacky, …
I figure out a little trick on how to protect the middle part (where the staple wire is) of the travel journal insert/refill. Pretty sure, this is not a new trick to those whose been journaling for quite some time now. Forgive me, I’m a newbie here and I just want to share what I …
Yay! Our new stationery product, Pandagdag, a travel journal refill is finally here! We got really busy with an invitation suite and we couldn’t give time to print and assemble Pandagdag. But the moment we were done with the invitation, we immediately assembled our travel refill journal. And we have more good news for you. Aside …
Just like that… 4th quarter of the year is finally here… and it’s approaching like a bullet train. Reminds me of our Shinkansen experience from Osaka to Kyoto. Where we weren’t really able to fully enjoy the ride because we were still so amased then suddenly we’ve already arrived. It was that quick. That’s how …
Have you tried doing something and then suddenly an idea pop up? That’s what happened when I was journaling one night. I was adding kraft and black paper as background. And I thought, what if the entire page is either a kraft or black paper already. Then, I don’t have to glue them anymore, right? The next …
Hello everyone… and hello September! The last two months, July to August were really great! Got a lot of commissioned projects; I joined an exhibit; Kadayawan; Mural and craft events. It was truly fun, but it was also draining. Physically and mentally. So, I decided to take a little break this month. Break from commissioned projects and focus …

The last time I wrote about this was few years ago. We turned 3 and 4 then. Now, it’s Artisan Paperie‘s 8th Anniversary. 8 years! I’ve been in the creative business, officially. When I had the courage in opening a design studio and craft shop 8 years ago. Wow! Can you believe that? I’m still having a hard time believing it. Every year, …
This is me trying my very best to document anything related to my creative process or activities through this blog. So, for me to do this, I figure out I’d work from 10 to 1 instead of the other way around. It seemed to work for me as it is easier to remember and talk …
Few months ago, I watched Minimalism on Netflix. Have you seen this too? High five if you had and if you opened your mind to it and somewhat practising it. I’ve been hearing about minimalism for quite some time now. I think, I first heard it from my cousin, Karen, when she was reading articles …
Have you seen the big heART installed in every Ayala malls? If you haven’t noticed it yet, you’ll find it outside the malls and mostly in Manila. They had different artists painted over it and sometimes depends on the artist’s style or with a theme. When I saw it, I was hoping I’d have a chance to paint the …
