My name is Patsy,
and I live in the Philippines.
I am married to a wonderful man, Luigi,
who is an IT Consultant.
We had a joyous double wedding with my sister.
That's us on the right.
A year after, both of us had little boys!
My son is on the left.
He's 16 years old now.
This is our house.
I live next door to my sister Peggy.
We live on the right,
and her family lives on the left side.
Peggy designed our house,
and what's really great about it is
if we have a party, we can open up
the dividing wall,
and have a bigger space to entertain!
Come on in and feel at home!
I'm not going to show you my living room,
because after two years since I moved
to our new house,
I still haven't put anything on my walls!
That canvas on the easel is still not finished!
I have some more artwork here.
I have been blessed with a GRReat family.
I live near my parents
and my siblings and their family.
And we see each other almost
every day, because we work together!
I have been working since
I was 11 years old
in our family business,
Papemelroti stands for
It started as a joke,
but now has grown miraculously!
I started this blog as a way to share my
art, canvases, scrapbook pages,
ATCs, and now my journal pages.
This is a collage I did in my journal
to help me remember Ephesians 2:19-22.
We are part of the body of Christ,
members of God's household.
Are we doing our part to build and encourage,
to serve and love others?
We are all brothers and sisters,
journeying together to our heavenly home!
What an exciting prospect!

ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your joyful work. I am teaching a class on collage at the local community collage and found this when looking for more examples.
ReplyDeleteI especially like how you mix text with the images so well.
My own blog will begin when a friend teaches me the WordPress ins and outs.
A joy reading your 'About Me' page! My daughters had a double wedding too. Here is a link if you should want to take a peek: http://gratefulprayerthankfulheart.blogspot.com/2009/06/double-wedding-double-anniversary.html

Hi Patsy,
ReplyDeleteYou have been to my blog and commented a few times but I am embarrased to say that this was my first time to visit your blog....but I'm glad that I finally did. Love your story, your blog and your artworks...just beautiful. And you being from the Philippines is an added bonus. Hopefully the next time I come home for a visit, I will get a chance to meet you in person. Thanks and blessings to you!
Hi Patsy,
ReplyDeleteI recieved the third of your cage-ATCs made for Marion's swap. I love the background colours, thank you so much.
Greetings from Germany, Christa
Wow, i love your story about yourself and your family.. and how papemelroti got it's name.. God bless!
ReplyDeleteP.S. Thanks for your kind words in my post! I appreciate it.. :)
now, i know what papemelroti means... i wish i have your creative mind and hands... you are so blessed and thanks for sharing those blessings with us... :)
ReplyDeleteHi Patsy,
ReplyDeleteHow interesting to know about the source of Papemelrotti's name. I always thought that the name is a foreign term for something that has to do with paper. I love your store which I frequent at SM Clark. I love those sturdy boxes which I embellish and personalize to fit my recipient's personality. I was looking at the PCA's blog list hoping to find card makers' blogs and found your name which I instantly recognized having communicated with you re the Silhouette Cameo. I was fascinated by your closeness with your sister Peggy and your story.
I teach the Silhouette Studio software so if you need any king of mentoring, just let me know.
Cheers,
Gayle]

ReplyDeleteHi Patsy! This is the first time I've read your "about me" page. You are so blessed. You have a beautiful home and family. More blessings!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet story!!! Your art is a lot of fun. We have been in our house 2-1/2 years....still no art on my walls, either. Haha!
ReplyDeleteOh, your blog is so refreshing! Love your pictures! I think we have interests in common. My blog is in a beginning stage and mainly used for a garage sale I am having at this time but with some art displayed. Soon I hope to add more. Hope you will visit.

This is the first time I noticed the About Me tab. It is so interesting to learn about the house that your sister designed and to see where you live. I loved hearing how the family business got its name and how you all are so involved in family life.
ReplyDeleteHi Patsy, tried to leave a comment on your blog through the Weekend Brew but couldn't figure it out. Weird. Anyway wanted to say that I love your words/work. What a gift He has placed in you! Be blessed.
ReplyDeleteHi Patsy, I love your artwork. It is colorful, uplifting & inspiring. This site is one of my all time favorites. You are doing a great job with your art & also being a true disciple of Christ as well. Thank you for sharing your talents with the world. <3 :)
ReplyDeleteHello Patsy, so you are the Pa... like my friends, Ro and Ti, you are wonderfully made. You have the colors of the rainbow arched in your hearts. They say that God does not play favorites, well now, I think He does. ;) I see how much you delight in Him. Your Heartworks is paying you off with so much joy. It shows and it's contagious! Thank you so much for sharing your heart. "Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me." Enjoy your date. ;) Lydia

This is a really really great and artsy blog! Hi Ms. Patsy! I super duper love Papemelroti and this is one of my favorite crafty shops since forever! It's like everyday I dropped by the shop in Megamall after work just to buy some stuff! :)
ReplyDeleteI recently retired from working fulltime, so now I am back in blogland, visiting all of my old favorites. Yours has always been a favorite of mine. I won one of your lovely ATCs quite a few years ago in a giveaway of yours. Blessings to you!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing that beautiful image of the "T" or "Thau" regarding the first reading of the Gospel for today. I uploaded it and posted giving you credit of course on my spiritual blog in Spanish and on soundcloud.com where I narrate the Word of God for The Spiritual Journalist on a daily basis. Love in Christ, JM
