What's in my 2015 Planner

I printed lots of stickers with nice quotes and brought them at school. I let my friends rummage through these colorful stuff. It's reduced to at least 2/3. It's fine. Really. Sharing is fun.

 

Yes, I can't go on without having lots of stickers, too. These are random colorful stickers from stores like Toys R Us, Papemelroti, etc. I place them in pages to show what I did that day/what I'm supposed to do that day.

I also placed this printable memo notes to personalize my scrapbook in my room.. Though I haven't use them yet. Maybe, I'll be vacant sometime and then, I'll be able to use them. I put them in the front side of my planner anyway.

 These are paper tapes I collected to randomly decorate my planner and to also break planner pages. Really nice and handy!

I placed some page markers, memo pads, and sticky notes in the front part of my planner. These are really pretty and kinda helpful when I need to jot down random stuff.

Winning a giveaway, sharing what I have, and reading some books

I encourage you guys to join a lot of giveaways as well. You never know when you'll receive something nice. Anyway, as much as I love giveaways I also do love giving away that's why I joined their donation project as well.

If you're here in the Philippines and you happen to have spare art materials, don't hesitate to share them with the scholars of Tahanan ng Panginoon. Charity is something beautiful because you don't get paid for it. Also, allow yourself to de-stress by clearing your clutter and be a big blessing to other people. I encourage you to join in such forms of charity wherever you are in this world. The world needs a lot of good deeds, even small ones.

Prizes I received from The Best is Yet to Come giveaway

I am also a casual bookworm. I don't read everyday but I love reading books, especially entertaining ones. These are books I got for trading my old books at the mini-library outside the main store of Papemelroti at Roces ave, 5 minutes away from Fishermall.

My Plans this 2015

Well, I plan to visit a lot of places.. to travel a lot, experience a lot, and share a lot..
I have lots of plans..
but my ultimate plan is to save money, spend it to buy nice stuff, and share it with the ones I love. If you're familiar with the savings with increment.. I found this 52 week saving challenge.

It was from a site called http://ph.theasianparent.com

the link to this challenge is: http://ph.theasianparent.com/52-week-money-challenge-philippines/

Well, its a basic form of savings where weekly, you need to put something in your savings account. But the year is literally divided into 7 days per 1 week counted. I picked this 20-increment savings plan where.. I should put 20 pesos as a starting amount to my savings and then, put the same amount the next week plus 20 pesos additional amount. Then, this is repeatedly done until the end of the year. You will have at least 27,560 pesos by the end of the year if you strictly follow this challenge.

Sounds good, right? I challenge every one of you who are reading this right now to take this 52 week money challenge.. There are a lot of options. You can choose how much increment you want every week.. To be effective, make 5 peso increment your least savings plan.

I also plan to use my planner. Such alliteration.. What? Is it just me?

Anyway, I customized my planner and put decorative items in the front part by making 2 envelope cases. It's nice and organized. I am also inspired with the designs and the stickers/quotes I placed inside.

I was inspired by these pictures of planners from different planner users, video bloggers, and photographers. I found these from pinterest, youtube, and google.

I also plan to study well.. and give my all this last semester of college.

That's all for now..

God bless everyone.

Christmas gift ideas 2014

Some of the things I got from Papemelroti in the past months

Inexpensive and Handy 2015 Planners

I bought these planners from Papemelroti. These are very inexpensive and very handy for you to write reminders in the form of phrases, write new contacts at the back part, and write in nice plans like 'finals week', 'date day', or  'math exam'. I'm going to use one of these and I will give some as gifts for my few closest friends.

 Yesterday was my brother's first communion and I learned that he had fun doing their project with paperclay so I told him where to buy those kinds. Yes, this paperclay art kit is also from Papemelroti. My mom bought this for him and while he was making it he said to me, 'I didn't know art would be fun.' I have loved art since I was little. so... I must've been having fun since then. ;]

DIY ring holder

Materials:

• Box
• Cotton
• Double Adhesive Tape
• Felt cloth or Recycled pieces of cloth
• Scissors
• Pencil

To make your own ring holder, you're going to need a box. I used my Santa Barbara watch box. You can use any kind of box available as long as it's not too big to display on your shelves.

I used cotton to fill the inside of each fold of felt cloth. I bought my pack of cotton from Expressions. It cost me 20.75 php.

                         
You can use different colors or use only one for simplicity. I prefer to have it in white, pink, orange and blue because I personally think it's cute that way. :)

Measure the size of the inside of your box and mark the measurement on your felt cloth. Cut the piece of cloth with your scissors.

Place a piece of double adhesive on your felt cloth and stick it to one side of the inside of the box, preferably the horizontal side.

Put some cotton inside and push it to the side where you placed your felt cloth. Push the cloth down to make a fold.

If you're using different colors of cloth, cut your first cloth according to the height of the inside of your box.

If you're using just one color, just fold it and push the remaining cloth upward.

Push another piece of cloth and some cotton inside every fold. Repeat this step until you fill your box according to how big you want your folds to be.

 

If you want to follow my steps, do this. Add flowers to make your ring holder more colorful. I bought mine at Landmark, Trinoma. If you don't have these flowers, recycle some beads and feel free to decorate.

You can also maximize this holder by placing your hair clips just like how I did mine.

I placed my hair clips alongside my rings. This is how mine turned out.

After making this, display it on your rack, shelves or above your drawers.

I placed mine beside my other jewelry boxes. Feel free to add colorful rings and clips.

If you liked my DIY tutorial, leave a comment below or send me a tweet at https://twitter.com/Strawberiimiki. Send me a pic of your own ring holder at strawberiimiki@gmail.com and suggest this DIY to your friends, too.

Thank you! Lots of love <3
