how do i safekeep my accessories

Before, i store all my rings, earrings and necklace in a pink HK container

It make me difficult to look for the pair of earrings when im in a hurry, so when i passed by Saizen Store in Pavillion Mall last december, i search for a box with partitions inside. So i this one caught my attention

I hurriedly put the yellow partitions so i can separately place my accessories inside.

And arranged my earrings, rings and neck laces =) happy me ♥♥♥

i love this thing! You can even see whats inside! 

I'll go back and buy another box.. 

How do you store your accessories?

DIY birthday party invitations I made for my daughter last year

Last 12th of November, we celebrated our daughter's First Birthday, since i have no theme for her birthday, i made her a simple birthday invitation card. 

Things needed

 ♥ a nice layout for the card

 ♥ white envelopes

 ♥ colorful pens

  

How to do it..

First Step..

Layout your desired design for the card you'll be making, if you want pictures and more graphics, its up to your taste. I have made 2 design for her invitation card

Second Step..

If you have printer at home, print your design, since i want a good quality for images, i went to a photo developing shop and had my designs printed on my desired size =)

Third Step..

Put them in cards and send them to your invited friends, relatives and co-workers =)  

On my next DIY, i'll show you the giveaways i made for her 1st birthday =) 

Hugs and Kisses
