Envelopes, Tags and Whatnots

Crafting is what I like to call my original and long-loved hobby. I think this was where I came to love paper products and crafting supplies. I used to make scrapbooks, little photo frames made of cardboard and decorate with home-made embellishments. When I was little, I also didn't have a big allowance so I wasn't really able to use a lot of those pretty supplies sold in shops. So, I made my own from scraps of paper, school supplies, crayons, pastels and cut-outs. I must say, looking back at those times, I feel proud of having experienced doing things that made me happy that didn't have anything to do with technology or the internet.

Ever since we got broadband at home in Feburary of 2002, I have slowly abandoned my crafts and recently, my books. And I don't like it at all.

A few months ago, I chanced upon a crafting and photography and that was what inspired me to make things again. I prefer creating things using paper products, enhancing, designing, recycling unused paper bags.

I have also received some positive feedback from friends and some also wanted to buy them so I decided to open an online shop on Etsy. But I don't have a lot of listings yet. Mostly, I have handmade stuff like mini journals, envelopes and gift tags. I'm also starting to make some gift bags for Christmas maybe.

Here are some of what I have made so far. I hope you like them!
