Gift Ideas: MixTape - Love Songs

from google, then edited it.

Hello, friends! Valentine's Day is so near! Do you have any gift ideas for your special someone? Well, I have one. Why don't you make your own mixtape for your special someone? You know sometimes it is hard to express your feeling towards someone but with the help of songs or music we can express it very well. Right? Because it is twentieth century tapes are not usually used by everyone. So decided to compile it and burn it on a dvd. Hell yeah! Look at the list of my songs. Cheesyballs galore! It is a mixed of old and new songs.

My video palang kasama. I made a video din pala. Now ko lang naremember! :)) Share ko sa inyo un video soon!

I gave this last year during our 2nd year anniversary to my hunny my loves so sweet. Hahahaha I don’t have money to buy things kasi. Char! So burn burn na lang ng songs! Whahaha What I mean is, to be unique and to be more special so decided to make an effort to think of the songs and compile it. To make it extra special, I made a collage of our photos together forever ang peg. Then, print print lang pag my ink. hehehe

In DIY, first

DIY: Bottle of Sweet Messages

If you are looking for something to give for your special someone, girlfriend, boyfriend, parents or even your best friends as a present, this could be it. Sometimes you just need to be extra sweet once in a while. You can put the words you cannot utter on the daily basis. All you need is the following:

1. colored papers
2. bottle/ jar
3. crêpe paper
4. soft wire or ribbons
5. paper bag (optional)
6. Box
7. Flowers/ beads

Step 1: Prepare your own sweet messages. It’s either handwritten or typewritten. You can put as many as you like. I prepared for 100 messages. I included personal messages (70%), cheesy pickup lines (10%) and bible verses (20%) and the total of 100 messages. It depends on you if you like to put lengthy messages or short ones.

Step 2: After printing my messages, I cut it to small rectangular shape and rolled it. I secure it using a soft wire with flower on it, wire (for scrapbook use) or ribbon with beads. I made it assorted, to look colorful.

Step 3: Rolling mode was over. So I cut the crepe paper into strips. I crunch it to look fluffy. Now you can put the messages on the bottle/jar with the crepe paper. It helps avoid the appearance inside the bottle to be blunt.

Step 4: I place the bottle/ jar inside the box. I put ribbon on it. Then, I watch a video on YouTube, how to make a paper flower. I just followed the steps. Then, TA-DA! Click here to watch the video.

Step 5: Now. On the paper bag, nice and secure, I also tied a card on the side of the flower. The masterpiece is finally done. It is now ready to be received! =)
