Crafty30 BirthdayParty + ShabuShabuChic Dinner

To be honest, I was terrified of turning a year older this year. I can’t believe I’m not in my twenties anymore! WAAAH! I want to cry. (Not kidding.) I want to be forever 24. (Still not kidding.) So when I was planning my birthday party, I knew I had to make it superfun to distract me from the fact that I was turning 30. And since I was also celebrating my blog’s first year anniv in the internets, of course, I had to do some cool craft activity!
I invited fellow craft bloggers to join me for lunch + crafternoon at Burger Project. It was my first time to meet some of them in person, but if you’ve followed the craft soiree and other crafternoons, you’ll see many familiar faces.
PJ did the chalk art!

Will post more details later on how you can pre-order your own pair of handwoven & handmade brogues, backpacks, bags, belts, and bracelets! Notice, they all start with a B? Because B is for Breakfast, my favorite meal of the day! 😛
Then we proceeded to crafting! The task of the day was to design two canvas totes: one that we would exchange with each other, and the other will be used to raise funds for classroom chairs for a school in Masbate. The crafters knew about this activity and came with their own appliques and art materials.Crafty30-07 Crafty30 BirthdayParty + ShabuShabuChic Dinner

Our littlest crafter, Kai finished his totebag before everyone else. Sigh. Don’t you envy the artistic mind of a four-year-old, where creative blocks do not exist?

And then Noelle, Clems and I went outside to spray dye our 2nd totes.Crafty30-12 Crafty30 BirthdayParty + ShabuShabuChic Dinner
