Everything you need to know about the #SMStationeryArtFest 2018

Here's the schedule of workshops you can attend to for this weekend (April 14-15):

And here's how you can get into a workshop:

YOU READ THAT RIGHT. For only PHP300 worth of materials, you're already qualified to participate in that brand's workshop.

Admit it, if you take these classes outside, or somewhere that's not in this Art Fest, it costs hell of a lot more. So are you just going to miss this out??

SM Stationery Art Fest 2018

Years ago, I was nothing but excited to hear about and be a part of the first Art Fest held by SM Stationery. Three years and many fests later, I still have the same excitement and bliss. It was only then that I realized that it's something I look forward to every year BECAUSE HELLO WHY NOT.

It's become an event where I would automatically see friends from the same community whom I haven't seen since the last fest. It's that awesome! It brings people who have a common love for the arts and crafts — together.

SM Stationery's Art Fest is a week-long event bringing brands together such as Pilot, Faber Castell, IFEX, Elmer's Glue, Tokyo Finds, among others; and hosting a series of workshops for an entire weekend. Workshops can go from the basics of brush lettering, to calligraphy, to doodling, to journaling, to slime-making!

This year's Art Fest launched yesterday, and even though I've never missed a fest in the past, yesterday was the first time I got to experience participting in workshops firsthand (because last year I did a demo, so that really doesn't count as a workshop-goer? :P)!

I. HAD. FUN. I created my own slime. My glow-in-the-dark slime ♥️ Did you also know you can make a "crunchy slime"?

I was seriously at a loss for words about how delighted I was to be there. #TakeMeBack?

Anyway, I wouldn't divulge everything about it since you'd have to be there to understand. Only then that maybe we can feel the same euphoria I've been talking about! And then you tell me about it, yes?

By the way, my artsy heart went home doing cartwheels with my loot, take a look:

What Keeps Me Going

These are the comments, feedbacks, and testimonials I (as @8amthoughts) have received in the past 2 years in my website, www.8amthoughts.com, which is long gone :( Reading sweet notes like this remind me why I want to keep doing what I love; to keep writing, to keep inspiring.

“When I get on my IG you are one of the first accounts I look at. The beautiful pieces you do of others work and your wonderful 8amoriginals inspire me every time I see them! Your beautiful words inspired me to try out hand lettering and faux calligraphy. (I did buy a nib pen but I'm not quite ready for that yet.) The amazing thing about the hand lettering is that it makes me feel really creative. I haven't written in a long time and although I desperately want to, I just have nothing good to say. But I feel like I'm getting there. So thanks for inspiring me to find my creative self, she's been dead for a very long time.“

“Heaven sent? Brides bff? 24/7 textmate? Name it, All rolled into one! Words can never express how truly grateful I am. Isa ka sa mga wedding suppliers namin na sobrang nagpapasalamat talaga ako. Thank you so much, alam ko hindi sa wedding planning namin nagtatapos ito. Basta. Maraming, maraming salamat, 8amthoughts! :-)“

- Your First Bride

“You are so good in calligraphy, you are one of my inspirations in doing my best in writing so that one day, I'll be as good as you.“

- Anonymous

“I went and read it. Nice to see you, lovely. You explained yourself beautifully. I hope you full force showing yourself to everyone, you realize there is no worse pain, than untold story, as the late Maya Angelou would always say. And it is imperative to tell the stories with your face. Much love.“

- Robert Watson (@r_watson_)

“You know some people can seem so 2-dimensional and well, without substance because they go through their entire lives not wanting to discover their true selves or potential? I think you have just proved your identity through your work. I believe you are still developing (No doubt, because we all should be, every moment of our lives) but now that you are more confident about what you are doing as 8amthoughts and who you are as Tricia merging into each other, I think you have gotten past that barrier of insecurity. I am so happy for you! Thank you for sharing your journey with me :) Lots of love,”

- Anne Mahendran

“This is amazing huhu. I remember just last year, I was reading your poems and stories and being inspired by your calligraphy on instagram, and I always wondered who was that person behind the beauty of art. And I'm glad that now, everybody knows it. So happy for you! You dont have to be afraid anymore. :D“

- Jasmine Tuquero

“omg!this is so amazing..!I completely love your poetry!and you as a human!some fears are just ghosts..and so pointless!when we make ourselves naked we show them who we really are!tschakka :) go on sugar, and by the way, you are unbelievable beautiful, I just fell in love :)”

- Lenny Klan

“I has been a pleasure with 8amthoughts, we contacted her to do our Ayala Land Humans of Makati giveaways in such short notice but she was able to provide us with the best quality for our giveaways. Will definitely contact her again for more projects.“

- Green Bulb Public Relations

“I have had the pleasure of working with 8am thoughts (Trisha) for about a year now. She's an incredible talent, wonderful friend, and has a spirit of light I am drawn to. She did the art for my promotions for my first book and I am very confident that we will work together many times in the future. Her calligraphy and art is impeccable and her poetry is even more brilliant. Here's the part that matters.... even more prevalent than all of that is the dedication, loyalty,/'do regrets in the core of her soul. I truly love you with my whole heart my dear friend.“

- amy.johnson.poetry

“Your 8am thoughts penned down almost everything I failed to put into words and I can't thank you enough for that. I don't know you personally but you made me feel like somewhere out there, there's someone who shares the same feelings as mine.“

- Steph Palma

“Wow. Just wow. I'm a newbie here, and can I just say your blog is amazing!“

- J

“Awwww. So cuuttee. I wish I also have the guts to quit on my corporate life to concentrate on things I love the most. P.S I love your blog!“

- Marilou S Patsy

“When I think about Tricia, "excellent customer service" comes to mind. One of the attributes I considered when I chose wedding suppliers, was promptness. It just goes to show one's commitment to the task placed upon them. From day one, Tricia has been very accommodating and prompt in providing drafts/receipts. When she didn't reply right away, Tricia was quick to apologize and even provided the reason behind her delayed response. I remember Tricia giving me a heads up when she had to be away for a few days, as she anticipated signal loss.

Furthermore, Tricia valued her client-relationship with me and that made a huge difference. She loved to collaborate and brainstorm ideas. As for the services I availed, I asked Tricia to produce items for my civil wedding and reception. She put together our own personal monogram, place cards, menus, thank you cards and even the design for our wedding favours! I wish I could post her creations and show everyone how she assembled the final package! It was so divine!

Tricia knew I was very fussy with the little things, so she made sure that the final package was impeccable! Tricia, thank you so much for all of your help. We only communicated through viber and e-mail, but nonetheless you made everything so easy for me. I just want to say that you're a very beautiful and talented young lady. You have so much potential! The best is yet to come my dear. Cheers!“
