why I want a merry map :)

well, this was a pleasant surprise when I read sis khim's blog. I followed her link and I came across this amazing supplier. Another prized find from my fellow W@Wies. Grabe, i think they're (busy bee projects) one of a kind kasi they focus on maps, which are actually very pretty and creative. I never thought I'd pay much attention to the map, since most of our guests are from the south.

But then I thought of the other guests who will be coming from Makati, Manila, QC, etc. So I thought, I have to win this... or, maybe I'm just inventing a reason to justify including this very pretty map to our invites. The samples were just so cute! Very much my personality because I doodle a lot! Friends notice when I'm bored because I draw on my notebooks or any paper, and lets face it. I have doodles on almost every page. I have 12 pens in different colors on my office desk and I use them every day.

and okay, this would be a fun surprise for my babe since making a map might be an easy feat for him, an engineer, yet I want him to do the rough draft and leave it to me (or to busy bee project to make it so alive and colorful :)

Actually, we really haven't received a confirmation for our target venue yet, but i'm pretty sure we'll get it ( heck, i'm writing the owner, a politician). That's how determined I am. Plus I'm kinda lucky that way, you know? Hehehe. In Christmas parties, or random raffles, I always get the grand prize, or the most coveted one. Which is why I have a good feeling about this thingy :) If I win this, I'll have to include this as one of the reasons why I need to get confirmation of the place (Madame Congresswoman, I'm really serious with the venue, in fact, I even had a map made signifying that the reception will be made in Portofino Clubhouse) hahaha.

Background about the venue, there are two ways of getting there from our chosen church. One is via Alabang Zapote road and going to Daang Hari, which will take about 10-15 minutes for those who aren't Las Pinas residents, and then there's Friendship route, a way from inside the village, kinda complicated, but with the help of a MAP, can take guests there within 5 minutes.
Grabe, parang panalo na eh noh... well, as the saying goes, believe before it conceives. :)

Bottomline is, I find it really really pretty, and although I know that IF I don't win I can still find a way to have this done because my super nice, and the best fiancee and husband to be in the world would still let me have this pretty add-on to our invites, I'm thinking maybe I've had enough of that, uh, spoiling. I've had my way with the videographer, photographer, church, date... he's been so giving and really generous. Considering I was the one who told him we're gonna stick to this budget, yet I talk him into getting suppliers that are hmmm...kinda pricey. Its been great but I don't want to be abusive. Heck, I don't want people thinking na I'm just doing all the picking and he's the one with bills to pay. So yun. This is me doing my part of the bargain. Ako yung may gusto, I need to do something to acquire it. So here I am, trying my best :)

Anyway, i hope it was a pretty fun read, coz whether I win it or not (if I don't, hopefully one of my W@Wie sisters get it), this was a pretty good post and a really good supplier that more people should hear about them. So...really, there's nothing to lose. Win-win :)

in line with this creative projects, allow me to show you one project I made for my babe for Valentines Day. I used scrapblog here, just a proof that I'm one of those girls who still think that its the thought that counts (heck, I made this for free! yet its cute naman don't you think? :) )
