Girl With Curls I know a girl, petite and fair. She's a girl with curls. She likes to comb her hair, and wear pretty pearls. I know a girl who likes color on the nails of her hands; on her head of curls, red, pink and violet bands. I know a girl choosing dresses over pants and T-shirts. Round and round she goes, twirling her princess skirts. This girl enjoys good music and sings with good melody. She throws tantrums sometimes, but is sweet to her family. This girl … [Read more...]
Among The Fair Magnolias, Cymplified!
Having four novellas in one book is like getting a sweet buy-one-free-one deal at my favorite store. I'm happy to have requested Among The Fair Magnolias from BookLook. I'm even happier to read it as I love the great quality of the four authors' writing. A Heart So True by Dorothy Love Even if this story is short, simple and took place in a span of a few days and then a couple of months after, I get the chance to know the personalities of the characters, which is wonderful. They are real: with … [Read more...]

Hand Lettering – Love It Or Leave It? Cymplified!
Is hand lettering for me? For you? As with new food, new experiences, new learnings that we get a taste of, this question would certainly whisper in our thoughts. Is it for me? When I attended the hand lettering workshop by Make It Blissful and Abbey Sy last March, I was given a background and some tools on the subject.

What kind of mom are you? Cymplified!
If there was a label for my mothering style... I don't know what it is. You know about the Helicopter mom who always hovers over her children, ready to step in and do things for her kids, to intervene in their affairs, especially in their education, in a detrimental way. You know the Tiger mom who, according to Urban Dictionary, "is overly strict with her child in order to foster an academically competitive spirit. This form of upbringing is intended to direct a child towards … [Read more...]
Fabulous Freebies, Cymplified!

I confess that I have a collection of fonts, backgrounds and vector images on my laptop and hard drive. This is my reminder to clean them up. But, before I do, I added more because they're beautiful. Who knows? I might need them one day. That's how I justify it. Haha! And, they're free, so why not? :-) One of my go-to site for downloading images is Creative Market. Click … [Read more...]
