Artisan Life Happenings November 12, 2019November 24, 2019 by admin

For our next post Wednesday Book Club, we’re back to crafting again. Truly my heart belongs to this side already. It feels so good to share craft books rather than designs, such bias I know, haha.

Wednesday Book Club: Blogging for Bliss

Review July 25, 2012September 25, 2019 by admin

Most of my money is spent in either craft supplies or/and books {yup! or/and because either I have one or all of them}. I’m not sure if it has something to do with my childhood, because where we were still kids, my papa required us to read 1 chapter of a book everyday. I used …
