Succulent Dish Garden Worshop at Craft MNL

I was giddy with delight when CRAFT MNL invited me to facilitate a Succulent Dish Garden Workshop on May 18, 2014. I enjoyed preparing the plants, their gardening kits and the topics I had to discuss. 

I was so excited to share with them one of the things I'm crazy about. With the help of my friend Karen Capino, I made a short video presentation about how awesome succulents are.

I am really glad that the participants were really eager to learn. I like it when they ask questions and share some of their succulent stories.

And then it was time to get dirty!

Succulents come in different shapes, vivid colors and intriguing textures. Choosing the plants that harmonize with each other is part of the fun.

We also did some rock painting to personalize their dish garden.

It was a fun afternoon with these ladies. With pride, they went home with their lovely creations. It feels good when you're able to create something with your own hands. I hope they continue to make more.

She Crafted This Party

I was sooo psyched when my friend She Ramos asked me to host a crafternoon party for her birthday. She wanted this year's celebration to be different. So I came up with fun activities that even newbies at crafting will enjoy.

  Belleville Cafe was the perfect venue. Cozy ambiance, good food and great service.

Craft tools were arranged on the table, waiting for the guests. I painted their names on the heart-shaped wood plate for an added personal touch.

After a brief discussion, giving of instructions and tips, the guests started painting.

Most of them do not consider themselves as artists but they were excited to try! Good!

Not afraid to get their hands dirty.

 It's a party, we have yummy food! I was too preoccupied with their lovely artwork, I didn't
get to take more photos of the food served. Sayang!

She, the birthday celebrant.

Mission accomplished! It was crazy fun! I super enjoyed hosting this party, thank you She. Everyone was so game and willing to learn and experiment. Seeing their smiles here... ahhh makes my heart truly happy. 

lotsalove,
