I was so happy to be able to attend this year’s workshop by Tita Nena. I missed the one last year and my friend, Rose Marie Hugo told me about it and sent me a nice email which I kept:

Hi Rica,  

I really appreciate the wonderful pictures on your blog- God bless you.  I missed seeing you at the presentation done by Nena Vargas and Tina Quiros last Thursday.  The place was overflowing with people and so was the delicious food.  Nena is truly an artist as is Tina.  What made it all worthwile was how Nena attributed all her artistry to God with true humility and love.   Thanks again, Rica, I hope to see you soon.  

In Jesus, Rose Marie

So, I made sure this year I would go.  And true enough, Tita Nena started off her workshop with a talk.   I got her notes and this was the message she wanted to impart:

Tita Nena proves to us how God is always incorporated into our lives…in whatever it is we are doing…God is always there and is always the purpose for everything….even when decorating for the holidays 🙂  She made use of God’s gift to us…Nature-twigs, brnaches, leaves, even those that fell off during the typhoon –   and mixed them with the Christmas decorations.  Thanks to Tita Nena as she constantly reminds us about the importance of God in our lives….not only does she share it with us her family…but to others who she meets. 

Destress the Holiday Season by decorating your home with flair.  Get inspired as Nena Tantoco shows her talent in decorating for the holidays
