My good friend S has always been very creative. I remember years back, I would always admire the pretty birthday invites that she would make for her little ones. To me, she's like Manila's Martha Stewart where every nook and cranny of her home remains to be so pretty, cozy and organized all day. She can also whip up a really yummy pasta dish and lately, she also made me a cup of yummy coffee too. So, when she told me that she's opening her own print shop, the first thing that came to mind was.. "Finally!" Serendipity Print Shop  specializes in personalized cards and notes designed to suit your taste. From cutesy cartoon prints to dainty florals, S can give you various options to choose from. After you choose your design, then you specify if you want it as a gift card, a note card, perhaps your business card or even as a notepad. Setting my biases aside, I have to say that the printing quality is very good. Trust me, coming from the publication industry, I pre...

As much as I love lazy weekends, I also get the thrill whenever I get to do something new and be productive too. Can't really make up my mind, couldn't I? Guess, there are just days wherein I'd rather laze around the house and some days I enjoy going out, meeting new people and learning something new. Balance is always good. Well, last Saturday, I was back at the Canon Pixma Workshop to learn a new set of paper crafts! Together with a couple of bloggers and Canon fans, we created our very own 2014 calendar, a cute Bookworm Bookmark and for some, a 3D animal figurine. I was only able to do the first two and I'm pretty happy with how they turned out. Hooray! I was also able to play around with the new Canon Mini Legria (S$429) which is the newest camcorder in the market. It's just about the size of a mobile phone or a car camera but as they say, do not judge a camera by it's tiny size. This little one comes with Ultra Wide Angle Lens, Wi-Fi capabiliti...

After attending the fun arts and craft workshop by Canon Pixma a few weeks ago , I happily went home with a spanking new printer. The total box weight was 11KG and despite having to taking the bus and to walk a short distance home, I didn't mind as Canon very thoughtfully provided us with a lightweight stroller too. How cool is that? You know the feeling of driving home a new car and you just can't wait for the moment where you'll take it out for a ride and there you'll get to discover more amazing things about it? That's exactly how I felt when Paul and I unboxed the Canon Pixma MG6370 printer. Let's look at it at face-value, I have to say that it was love at first sight. I couldn't stop admiring the beautiful white finish that just makes it look so classy. I placed it on top of our wooden TV cabinet and it just blended in just fine. The printer comes with a flatbed scanner, two paper trays and a touch-screen panel. Gone are the days of noisy print...

*reposted from the  Holiday Creativity with Canon Pixma website Don't you just love the weekend? I Do! Most of all, I love lazy weekends where no big agenda is lined up and you can just tinker around the house for as long as you want. Lately, I've been having lazy weekends where I get to sleep more, to catch up on my personal projects and just recently, to learn something new! No matter how old we are, I always believe that learning should go on forever and ever. A few weeks ago, I joined 9 fellow bloggers for an afternoon of arts and craft. This was organized by Canon and we got to try using a number of the Canon Pixma Printers on display. All I brought with me was an SD card and within minutes, I was able to print 3 of my favorite photos plus my very own logo on photo paper! It's cool that the printer has a slot for SD card as well as a USB port allowing you to print directly without connecting it to your laptop. I love arts and craft most especially when it g...
