Listening to: "It's Time" - Imagined Dragons
Hello everyone! This post is not exactly skin-care related, but I'd like to share something else tonight. Yes, it's a craft shop :) kind of weird, but you know my recently-aquired love for crafting and sewing, right?
However nice Davao City is and its how accommodating its stores and establishments may be, hobby shops are definitely NOT dime a dozen from where I am. I can barely find things I want. National chains for school supplies and crafting items are not much help.
But maybe that's my fault: I don't get out a lot. Well if I didn't go out last night for a dinner at
Zabadani Cafe (
Grilled Syrian Chicken is just too yummy to pass up!), I would never know that what I needed was right under my nose!
A recently-opened shop called Paper Rock Scissors is one of my recent
finds. Located just a minute away from where I work is the hobby shop of
my dreams! It is so quaint and pretty and houses a lot of craft items,
scrapbooking materials, rubber stamps and so much more.
When I got there, I was surprised at the amount of wonderful things to look at! Everything was begging to be bought. Not only their items, their containers and notices are so bright and pretty, too!
I enjoyed browsing around the store as their knickknacks distracted me one after the other. I couldn't stop ahhing~ and ohhhing~ at each little thing inside. It was so colorful, it made me happy! And you know me, when I am hyper I just can't stop myself.

I commend the owner for setting up this little shop. I also love that when I talked about wanting to modpodge some cute scrapbooking paper, she understood, and she even taught me her secret to DIY modpodge. That definitely is a plus in my books. She sure knows her craft. I feel relieved, you know! I was like "Finally, a store that understands..."

| Aaaaa! The pastel colors make me want to weep in their loveliness~ |
Items ranging from ribbons to stamps are the popular must-buys of Paper Rock Scissors. Not a lot of stores carry these, especially ones that you can PERSONALIZE! You can ask about their rubber stamp personalizing at the store. The owner is really friendly and knows her craft! (Pun definitely intended :p )

| I love these little jars with the modpodge'd canister covers |
 |
| So cute! These are cardboard-type crafting paper! Finalllyyyyyy~ |
I've been interested in purchasing
Washi Tape. Not a lot of store knows this, but the owner pointed me to the jar full of washi tapes :) This is an adhesive tape which is made of fabric. I am floored that washi tape is now in Davao!
If you have time, go and visit Paper Rock Scissors at Damosa right along Mamay Road. It's just about fronting Nikkei Jin Kai school. The store has also a Facebook page

I hope they'll stock more on
