D.I.Y: Princess Scroll Invitation

My daughter Azrielle Jermiah's birthday is so soon and she wanted to have a princess party. It's so hard to throw a very detailed party if you are on a tight budget. You have to think twice what will be your decorations and your supplies that will be exactly on your budget but something fun and kids would really love too.

First things first, is the invitation. A personalized royal invitation is so fun to do. This is very important to each and every party. Your close friends and family will surely be glad if they received one.

I thought of a classy old-school invitation, and before they're using a scroll paper that was announced by the messenger of the royal family. How cute it is??

So, to make this invitation all we need are:
  • A white paper
  • a brown food coloring/ coffee ( mix with water)
  • a pink ribbon ( or any color)
  • a black pen 
  • a basin
  • candle stick
  1. Put your white paper on the basin and then slowly pour the brown mixture ( brown food coloring w/ water or coffee dissolve in water). Soak it up until 3 - 5 minutes. 
  2. Gently remove the paper out of the basin, it may reap easily. 
  3. Put it on a place where the Sun is, so it will quickly dry up.
  4. Once its dry, get a candle stick and burn the side of your paper to add a little effect of a vintage paper.
  5. Then draw some vines on the upper side of the paper, just to have a little cuteness on it.
  6. Scroll the paper and tie the ribbon around it.  



You can now send it to all of the Princes and Princesses of your magical land. 

Hope you like it and thanks for reading!

FOTD: Inspired by Eyahnism "Pink Tuesday"

I'm planning to wear my pink floral skirt on Sunday and I was browsing with other bloggers site if they have a make-up look that suits with my outfit. I saw Eyah's blog about her Pink Tuesday and I'm curious about it. I find her make-up so cute.. Girly, kikay, its so feminine. So, I picked up my make-up pouch and I can't wait to do it on Sunday, so I made a trial. I hope I gave Eyah's turorial some justice. I hope she likes it...













I'm ready to go on Sunday... Yipeeeee!!! Thanks Eyah...

Surprise Birthday for my Mom


It's my mom's birthday today and last night was the hardest part of the plan. My sister Daniela and I cooking some good plans on our minds, we're thinking of what gift we could give for our beloved Mom, but then again we don't have enough money and it was 10:30 pm (so late!) when we just decided to make her a cake. Sadly, our ingredients are sooooooooo incomplete. We don't have butter, so we use oil for the cake, so it not a problem anymore. We have a lot of stock Fondant in the fridge, however, we still need the butter for the frosting (that's the problem). Oh!!! we still can't make a beautiful fondant cake for her... And I second thought of the banana cake since it is my expertise, but then again...we don't have bananas ( another problem)...So, I come up with a my own version of "Fudge Brownies". I was afraid not get the perfect texture of it since the ingredients are all alternative. Anyways, while I'm doing the fudge brownies, my sister Daniela is moving her ninja moves upstairs. She's watching over my mom cause we don't wanna messed up our surprise for her. Daniela goes downstairs to check what I'm going, going upstairs to check our mommy, if she was awaken by the noise we creating downstairs. Up..down..up down... what a move Daniela...! And we got our successful night of hiding our surprise. 





It was 5 in the morning and Mom was awake and without a second thought, I jumped out of my bed and check if she's downstairs and have checked our surprise for her. Well, the good thing is, she's still on their bedroom, so I sneak out downstairs and walks slowly through our hallway holding the fudge and 3 little candles with lit. I woke up Daniela and gave her the cake, while I will sing the birthday song and my Dad is somehow pretending he's just checking something on his camera. Out of my Mom consciousness, my Dad filming her. 


It was a paid off when we saw the smile on her face and how she love the cake. We ate the fudge this morning together with Pancit Canton that my hubby cooked.





And what I think... We gave her the most delicious and Best cake ever because we baked it with LOVE...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOMMY!!!! AND THANKS FOR EVERYTHING!!!
