Remember my old decoupaged thumbtacks? Well I’ve been working so hard lately (wow!) that I had my cork board filled with little notes and to-do lists that made it less prettier than usual. I don’t know why I’m so fond of using notepads instead of notebooks when I know I lose important notes because I misplace them most of the time! Which brought me to pinning notes in my cork board. It looked like a collage. So unorganized and so me.
Teehee.
I knew I had to throw away those lists or at least transfer it to my notebook and instead pin something more inspiring on my cork board so that whenever I glance at it, I’d feel happier and more motivated, not to mention it would look neater.
And the old decoupaged thumbtacks looked too outdated for me so I wanted to do something new.
And because I have limited time to do crafts these past few days because (ahem) I’ve been working non-stop, I simply used small stickers.
I got this tiny sticker dispenser from a Sanrio shop that has a sticker vending machine.
See how the little sticker fits perfectly on the head of a tiny thumbtack?
It was so easy to make so I made tons of ‘em!
And here’s my clean cork board now!
I love how I don’t have to draw a smiley on my notes because I can just pin a tack with a smiley face.
I did so many things today and one of them was to make these rice heat bags for a new customer. I didn’t get a chance this morning to post today’s daily affirmation so I’ll just be posting it now. It might seem late but I know some of you will be blessed with today’s affirmation.
