I just came back yesterday from my best Manila trip ever and still dreaming about it actually. I need to make different posts for my trip because I don’t want to overwhelm you with so much photos.

So, the craft soiree was a success but before that day came, I had a great time spending it with Rochelle. It was our first time to meet but it felt like we’ve known each other for a very long time. We just had dinner but the next day, we had an unexpected trip… to craft disneyland. And it’s literally a disneyland for a crafter… The shop is called Lasting Impressions, it’s a hidden shop somewhere in V. Cruz, San Juan. My eyes were drooling, my heart was pumping hard and my wallet was so scared, lol. Now tell me if your heart won’t beat faster after all these photos…

My mouth dropped when I first got in...

Can you see Martha Stewart's punchers?

I'm not a paper fan, but these surely changed my mind

Look who's shopping for papers? That's Rochelle, my craft buddy from now on...

Embellishments with boxes so you can't resist to buy, grrr

You can never have too many embellishments

Overwhelmed with the vintage embellishments

So many tools so little money

Even washi tapes have a printer

The text on the tape is what the printer can do, amazing right?

Washi tapes

More washi tapes

Baker's twine

Bigger washi tapes

Cutie Patootie stickers

Rub-on stickers

Stickers for your scrapbook pages

I'm really drooling now

If only I can buy all of them

Border Stamps on kraft paper packaging

Seriously blaming stamp company for such cute packaging

Tim Holtz die-cut templates... thinking as my next project

More templates

I wouldn't mind going back to school if we have this

This cute little charms will be in LeBlanchette soon

And the wall of art

Scrapbooking is not my forte but I wanna learn how to do this

Where all the magic happens

This I have to learn... shadow box

My craft buddy

Can you still breath? My heart is still pounding by just looking at my photos. We spent almost 4hours there and made five thousand pesos additional amount to my credit card bill, and I already removed a lot of things from my cart with this amount.

I told you so, it’s a crafter’s disneyland. I felt like a kid when I got there and also felt like a mom who’s so worried how much my kid in me will spend, haha. But nonetheless it was really really a great experience. Thank you so much Rochelle, for taking me here and spending another day with me. Next time, let’s go to another disneyland again, hahaha.
