Hello steemit family! I was so happy to see this in my Facebook timeline photos. This is my eldest, Chauncey and she was wearing the very unique and artistic creation of her uncle (my younger brother, I call him "ading" in our language). This outfit is made of newspapers. :-) My ading made it for her, when she joined Little Miss Santiago 2012 in our barangay. She won Best in Production Number. ❤️

This is how the back view looks like. She was only 8 years old back then. How time flies indeed.

I miss those days, when we still have our tatay with us. ❤️

My ading was able to make this outfit in I think less than 2 days. Me and nanay (mother) helped him in rolling the newspaper strips. That's the upper portion. He made the rest of the outfit. The materials used for this creation were, newspapers, cut into 4 halves (lengthwise) and rolled into tiny strips using one piece of "walis tingting", and glue. So affordable, we didn't spend that much. I praise God for my ading, he is such a creative designer. He is gifted with talent to create a lot of unique things out of scrap materials like this one. I also did an article about his creations which we used to sell to augment our income. Here is a link for you to check out.

He had done a lot already, be it a decorative vase, basket, bags, gown, yes he made one for my eldest. I will be sharing with you all when I find the pictures. I've got a lot in my Facebook account, stored all there. The gown, which my eldest wore during their Math & Science fair, wherein she won Miss Air 2012 (First Runner-Up).
More creative and unique creations of my ading in the coming weeks. I have to end here as I need to attend to my toddler. I need to give her medicine now. Thank you again for stopping by. :-) ❤️ :-)
I am forever grateful to God every day of my life for giving me everything that I need and praise Him all the more for not giving me everything I want. To God be all the honor, praise and glory ❤️ :-)
