I still clearly remember that moment when I was 6 years old. I was staring at a bunch of stationeries and art materials. I told myself that someday, when I grow up and have a job, I will be able to buy all the art materials I wanted! That was the time when I would save a good chunk of my allowance so that I could finally buy that dream marker set I would always see after ballet class.
Fast forward to years later, here I am still coming up with all the excuses to buy art materials! 
I’m staring at this shelf of ours at home and wondering if I should have changed my dream. Whatever happened to that goal of being able to explore the outer space? Should I have chosen a different path?!?
My dream was again validated when I went to Fully Booked in Greenbelt 5. I realized, I can’t change the things that truly make me happy. I saw shelves and shelves of paint tubes plus tables of paper and I wanted to have everything! It’s like the kid inside me never really grew up. (I just probably have more adult stuff to deal with now such as monthly bills and and this thing called marriage which makes it sound oh-so-formal but really, it only feels like you get to share a house with your crush. 😉 #Cheesy)
Well, for the record, taking photos in this area is not allowed so we asked for official permission so I can share with you this piece of heaven! Just in case you’re wondering where this is, it’s located at the basement just in front of Healthy Options.
Yup, you’re staring at the stuff that dreams are made of. Well, Ponggo found me walking with a smile on my face. I was partly broken-hearted because I wanted to buy the whole store and I was also overwhelmed because I was just trying to imagine all the possibilities!
To give you an idea, this is how two-thirds of the place looked like. So…Yeah…It was hard to shoot when half of your mind is already thinking of what to buy! SFJKDFSLKSJFKDJ!
Just when you thought that’s already too much to process, this area has an extension and it’s bound to keep you staring for a long time. 🙂
Van Gogh Acrylic Set
As I always say, I always find myself hopping from one medium to another and if there’s anything consistent in my work, it’s my love for colors. So just imagine how challenging it was for me to go through everything. *I sound insane. It’s like I’m happy but I’m in pain.* I’m actually quite relieved I haven’t explored oil painting yet or elseeee! *Whew!*
They also have Calligraphy pens, nibs, holders and inks for all you addicts!
Ponggo was eyeing these acrylic sprays especially the orange one. I’m so happy I married someone who isn’t afraid of colors! 🙂
Not TUBES but TUBS of paint. I’m currently seeing myself working on a huge canvas–so huge, I’ll probably need a ladder. Then, I could probably place the output in my spacious imaginary living room in the future! Oooooohhh. *You know, if I shared with you all the things I imagined and just let my mind wander, I will never finish this blog post.*
Golden Acrylic Paints! Don’t you just love how they used the actual color as a sample outside the packaging? Now, you’re saved from all the guess work and stash of unused supplies filled with buyer’s remorse.
Just in case you’ve seen it here, here & here, I’ve been hooked to paint daubs lately. I mean, I really tried my hand at realistic art (LOL) but the more I try putting details into my work, the more I find myself getting stuck with mixing paint and just watching the colors on my palette and canvas!
So, you guessed it. I bought some Golden tubes and tested it against the brands that I’ve been using. They’re the only ones true to their color–I didn’t have to mix them with any other color. *Tears of joy!*
Above: Feeling every bit like a curator, here’s are some stuff you could play with if you’re into watercolor. I’m imaginging that this is my own set because most of my brushes are Daler-Rowney and I have a couple of Moleskine Watercolor booklets. They’re ideal for travel because they absorb paint faster than your usual paper.
Well, I hope you enjoyed today’s tour of the Fully Booked Greenbelt 5 Art Section! If you’re looking for a playground / art + retail therapy this weekend, you know where to go! 🙂
Have fun creating!❤
XOXO,
Tipsy

Thank you guys for being so patient!
I just had a semi-impromptu trip to Malaysia this week so I didn’t have much time to sit down & go through all the entries. Well, first of all, thank you for participating and being oh-so-excited about this promo. When I was picking the prizes, I was really excited for you guys too! How I wish I had all the money in the world so I can give each one a set. I was teasing some of the participants & telling them that maybe, I should just divide the prizes this way: I’ll give each winner a sheet of watercolor paper or a single half pan just so that we can have more winners. Finally, thank you for letting me eavesdrop on your convo’s with your friends and thanks to those who were thanking us for the giveaway! Some of you were supposed to win but you didn’t get to follow the instructions completely. Huhuhu. Here are the winners that you’ve been waiting for:
1. Daler Rowney Aquafine 18-Color Travel Set – Pam Canayan / @sulat_kamay
2. Clairefontaine Watercolor Pad – Jammy / @sexybunny38
3. Daler-Rowney A3 Watercolor Pad – Cams Obligacion / @camsobligacion

To the winners, please e-mail me your full name, mobile number & mailing address. Please do so by April 26 or we’ll have to pick another winner. Friends of the winners, you’ll be kind enough to tell them that they won, right? Or…well, maybe not. Haha.
If you didn’t see your names above. It’s okay. I feel ya. I mean, I also wanted to join this promo but I’m not allowed. And…and…and…I actually have to let go of these pretty things soon! So, let’s cry togethaaaa… *Insert sound of a breaking heart.*
Anyhooz, the Googly Gooeys will officially be 6 years old in just a few days so stick around for another promo. And oh, please don’t comment “I never win at life, love & giveaways” below. Lol. Well, okay, if that’s how you feel then go ahead. 😉
Reading through your post makes me want to get dressed and run to the book store. Actually, I’m really going to do it. I need to buy highlighters for my PPL and cartolina to use for my mini studio. Ha! And you are also contagious about making up reasons to buy art materials. I kind of related because I’m a person who loves to do art stuff, and I love to draw since I can’t really remember when. But even as we’re grown up and have jobs and money to buy stuff, sometimes it’s still not enough, well, coz we do want to buy the whole store. Ha! Great post.
Stay Wonderful Always,
Heide
Kintsugi of Life
Oh my gosh. If you think I’m contagious then you should meet my friends. They won’t stop until I finally get to try a new product.
It also doesn’t help that Ponggo helps me in searching for new materials. Ahhhh…
Yup, it’s always never enough because we want EVERYTHING. Hahahaha.
Totally relatable Tipsy! I’m a crafter so I stock on tons of paint, washi tapes, scrapbook paper and all sorts of other art materials just because… “You never know when you might need them.” and “What if they run out someday?” Haha! I have this dream of having a perfectly organized craft room in my dream home. ^_^
That’s also my dream! When we move out of this house, I want a room for myself so I can just easily scatter my stuff.
It’s always a war zone here since work & play always mix! Hahahaha.
drooling atm.
Here’s some tissue Pergy! Haha. 🙂
Commenting again because art materials giveaway hahah
Ahahaha. It’s always nice to see you here Pergy! 🙂
I went there 3 weeks ago and I thought I just died and went to art heaven! But when I woke up, the reality was I got “holdap” (a term me & hubby use whenever one of us comes home with no money (naholdap) but found a shopping bag! LOL!) and went home almost with money just enough for the toll fee! Nyahahaha!!! But the smile on my face and kilig seeing my loot is worth it! Haha!
Hahaha. Well, I know how you feel. It’s either you hold on to your savings and be happy with it or you make yourself happIER with your new set of art materials.
Lol. I just went to their BGC branch again today. They also have watercolor pads & other art materials there. *I cry.* Hahahaha.
Of cours the Daler & Rowney Aquafine 18-Color Travel Set! But actually anything will do! Teehee!
I guess this is the 3rd contest I’ve been in. Fingers crossed!
I’d die to have them ugh
I would really love to get the Daler & Rowney Aquafine 18-Color Travel Set! It would be awesome for my planned wall art decor for the shared bedroom I’m decorating with my sister!
I would really like to win because I love Art but I am too broke to buy expensive stuff. And giveaways like these help me grow.
i’d love to have the Daler & Rowney Aquafine 18-Color Travel Set for my dad and me 🙂 he has painted on 3 walls of our house using leftover paint with pictures taken from the net and hope he’ll teach me how with this travel set. thanks for this! 🙂
I am reaaaally into watercoloring and this could my start on expanding my knowledge on this art media. watercoloring is just an amazing art form 😉
I would love to have the Daler & Rowney Aquafine 18-Color Travel Set,i want to give it to my daughter for sure she will like this!
im an engineering student wanting to learn a art. and calligraphy. for my poems.
I’d like to win the Daler & Rowney Round brushes because I fancy paint brushes and I always go to the brush station every time I drop by any bookstore/craftstore. (I’d also love to win the watercolor set or paper haha) 😉 This could help me in my preparation for my upcoming talent exam at UP Diliman 🙂
Great article btw. I didn’t know Fully Booked Greenbelt has a huge art section. I’ll drop by soon 🙂
If I had to choose which item I’d love to have, I’d love to get the watercolor paper! (Not the travel set?? Whaaat? says the other Celina lol) But really, though. I’ve been having a difficult time looking for the right watercolor paper!! I’d love to try the watercolor paper /you/ love. Maybe I’ll love it too? Hihi *hearts* Thank you so much for the giveaway! 🙂
Haha. That paper is just <3. You should also check out the Daler-Rowney's The Langton and Arches pads plus the Moleskine watercolor notebook if you're ready to fall in love with paper! 🙂
Thanks for the tips! I’m still a noob when it comes to watercolor and it’s probably the number one medium we use in Interior Design. I’ll probably invest on a notebook as well and try to hone my noob-y skills this summer. 🙂 Yay!
You’re very welcome! 🙂
An interior designer also joined a class recently and her works are <3.
The travel set? The paper? The paintbrushes? Hhhhmmmm, each of them brings effect to the outcome of every artwork. But I think it is still depends on the heart of the one holding them. And these precious things are really a great deal when it comes to beginners like me. I’m in a culinary program but I’m exploring my potentials in arts like this. So thank you, because this will be a wonderful experience for me. 🙂
Oh my goodness…You took the words right out of my mouth. Yep, I’d like to think heart matters more than skill sometimes…and soul…and curiosity…and thirst…I could go on forever! Haha.
Really want to have the Daler & Rowney Aquafine 18-Color Travel Set. The colors are just gorgeous. and how can one do watercolors without colors. ^_^
I nneeeed to win that travel set!
I’d love to use the water color to make some watercolored invitations
Yup, watercolors are really nice for invites. They make them look softer. 🙂 <3
I love travelling and illustrating. Everytime I travel with the family, I never fail to bring a sketchpad & pencils. I love colours, but a pencil is lighter than bringing a bunch of little glass bottles or tube ones. If I win this, it would be nice to still create while I travel and still do what I love most, creating. <3
I want that Daler & Rowney Aquafine 18-Color Travel Set! More colors, more funnn! And those 300gsm pads also! 😀
Definitely joining… I love colors and I love hoarding art supplies!!! Thanks for the chance!
Lol on the word “hoarding”. But yes, we all have a tendency to hoard. It’s so easy to get excited with all the new stuff! *Sigh*
I want to try making art again and i’d love to win everything because art materials are the best! 😀
I would like to win the watercolor set, because I really want to try out another kind of art, which is watercolor painting. I really enjoy seeing art, especially from the instagram accts and facebook pages I follow (googlygooeys is one of my fave!) and I have the urge to try making art. Even though it frustrates me sometimes (frustrated artist huhu 🙁 ), I really try my best! I do a little bit of lettering and calligraphy and I want to incorporate watercoloring in them. 🙂
I would love to win the Daler and Rowney Aquafine 18 color set! I am not really good with art stuff but I do love creating colorful art pieces. It would be lovely to have these art materials!
I wanna win the Daler and Rowney watercolor set! I’ve always been in love with watercolor and it’s a very playful medium to work with. 🙂
I would be really happy if I’ll win the Daler & Rowney Aquafine 18 Color Set because I also like playing colors whenever I paint. 🙂 I haven’t tried using Daler & Rowney but it’ll surely bring more vibrant colors to my future lettering projects this summer. 🙂
Thank you for this post! 🙂 It’s very helpful for artsy people like me to try other art materials too! 🙂 Cool. 😀
Watercolor is <3
I’m aiming for the Daler & Rowney Aquafine 18 Color Set (crossing fingers) or anything in this giveaway but i want all! greedy whahahaha joke 😀 )
I’m an aspiring artist and i would love to see myself brushing those wonderful colors in my art pad. Unfortunately art materials with nice quality are expensive T_T so i cant buy such extravagance #justastudentproblem #pooritamirasol #strivingartist , so I’m trying my luck hahaha.I soooooo wanna try this color set,the brush or the pad. And i would like to see my art works in the future as good as yours! Thanks for the oppurtunity! xoxo
HAHAHAHA. This post made me giggle tons. I’ve been dreaming of how I can best organize my mess of a table. All sorts of art materials scattered in different drawers and organizers AND YET I find myself wanting to get more because… “you never know when you’ll need it (or can use it or make something with it).” *hoarder* :))
In any case, this giveaway would definitely be a great addition to my exploring watercoloring in this life season 🙂
OMG WATERCOLORS ARE MY ADDICTION AS OF THIS MOMENT!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE LET ME HAVE THIS! HEAVEN! SUPER!
I would love to win the Daler & Rowney Aquafine 18-Color Travel Set! Those colors are bee-a-oo-ti-ful! Haha! Watercolor is my love at the moment and I would love to replace my Prang set already haha, it’s about reached the bottom of the case! 😀
1 Daler & Rowney Aquafine 18-Color Travel Set (Php 1,499.00), just awesome. Dreamset. Oh my gosh. Speechless.
I am dying to win the Daler & Rowney Aquafine 18 Color (WOW) Travel Set!!!!! Because I usually buy some cheap watercolors from sari-sari store and it really ‘flakes’ and if ever, if ever, I will win, I’ll be using watercolor that is beautifully made and it is really handy. 🙂
I’ve had an eye for color my whole life, but I haven’t taken art seriously. Maybe this is my chance 🙂
I want to win because I want to learn how to paint, and make lovely creations like you do!
I want to win because I need it every time I teach art for kids
Pursuing my passion for making art has always been one of my biggest frustrations. I always somehow miss the right opportunities or get discouraged for the (let’s face it) expensive materials. I want to win so I can start pursuing it properly, and perhaps one day actually focus on it and build my life around it. I have a lot of potential, my friends and coworkers think so, too, and I want to try a lot harder this time. Winning this would take me a step closer to that dream,as exaggerated as that seems.
I’d like to try mixing and matching watercolor for a new summer hobby. I love colorful doodles, that’s why I’d love to have Daler & Rowney Aquafine 18-color travel set. 🙂
I would like to win the Daler and Rowney Aquafine 18 Color Travel Set or one of the two watercolor pads. I know I still have 2 watercolor pads at home but I just gotta have more.
i doodle a lot… i remember once in high school when a practice teacher was assigned to us and he was very boring, i was doodling on the back pages of my notebook (as usual) and i didn’t realize that our real teacher was already behind me… she said “cathee, stop doodling…” 🙂 doodling is a creative outlet for me… i’ve only been using pens and i would like to explore other mediums…
i’m joining this giveaway for my wife. she’s very creative and i would love to win this for her.
I’ve been wanting to start a travel journal using watercolors and ink because I want to create a souvenir from my trips that’s unique and truly mine. Winning this giveaway will be Godsent! 🙂
MIGHTY NEED FOR THIS………. since here in my place there is only 1 mall and only national bookstore here sells art materials……. i want the watercolor paper pad and the other small brushes since there are none here :((
I want to rekindle my love for art, and winning these precious art materials would be helpful in developing my inner artistic self 😉 <3
The Aquafine travel set is <3 <3 <3 and of course the Clairefontaine. Well, maybe everything. Haha!
I know how you feel!
Now if I can only keep everything to myself! Hahaha.
Too bad I can’t join this giveaway. 😛 🙂
aww. </3 I'm just trying my luck. all for the love of art. haha!
p.s. I really want that watercolor set so bad. My Reeves acrylic set has dried up already and my prang's all mixed up now. 🙂
I want them all! Haha! I would like to win the Daler & Rowney Aquafine 18-Color Travel Set the most because I want to paint while on trips. This would also be easier to take out than a whole set. Also, it would be best to go with my newly acquired water brush. 🙂
I want to win them all because I’ve always wanted to try painting and this set will definitely be a good start. I will be able to make my ideas come into a more wonderful shades of hues and be able to share my talents in a whole new phase in the art world. <3
Winning these art materials will allow me to create a book wherein I will paint my happy feelings and emotions, and good experiences in. Then later down my journey in life, I will look through the book, and remember all the good memories and all the good times.
I want to win the color set because it would help me be more creative ( :
Those colors are just so pretty
I want to win any of those but the Daler and Rowney Aquafine 18-color travel set most of all because I love watercolor painting. I’ve only started painting this year so I only use the cheap for kids paint sets. If I win the paint set, it can help me produce paintings with more color variations. 😀
Would love to have that watercolor set <3 ughhh :))
I would love to win the Daler and Rowney Aquafine 18-color travel set because I will share it my sister and we’ll paint together!
It’s hard to pick just one because *heart eyes emoji* art materials *heart eyes emoji* but I think I’d go with the Daler and Rowney Aquafine 18-color travel set. I wanna dabble into watercolor painting and it is exactly what I need to get started! It is also something that I can share with my sisters who are as passionate about art as I am. <3
P.S. This is a really cool giveaway! Thanks for doing this! 😀
You’re welcome!
We’re totally amused when people would thank us for the giveaway.
If only we were rich, we could probably play Santa (in the middle of summer) and give every single one of you a watercolor set! 🙂
I want to win this for my birthday next month! Please 🙂
Would really really love the D&R watercolor set with the brushes. *le sigh* Why? Do I really need to have a reason? 😛
Because I will give it to my nephew. A perfect gift for a kiddo who have a creative hand! He loves art so much.
The 18 color travel set please or any of the brushes. Just because I know they would be perfect for brush calligraphy which I’m so into right now 🙂
I would like to win for my kids who loves to do craft works its our family bonding we share work of art at the same time we learned and explore an 18 color set is a blessing for us if we win.
I am starting to channel the unspoken side of me thru art. I wanted to get my hands to work as I pour our my soul into beautiful creations and it would be awesome to have the Daler & Rowney Aquafine 18-Color Travel Set and make memories last!
wow i’m just about to cry… so beautiful T^T
Aww…Don’t cry!
Here’s some tissue!
These would be great to use with my 12 year old who is really getting into art. The thing I would like to win the mosst would be the water color pad.
What I want to win most the is the D&R watercolor set…I read somewhere that coloring tends to lower the activity of the part of the brain affected by stress (with everything that we do, we need to give that part of the brain some rest)
Daler & Rowney Aquafine 18-Color Travel Set – Cause i think this would help improve the artsy side of me especially im incoming fine art student. 🙂
I want to have the Daler & Rowney Aquafine 18-Color Travel Set since I’m still exploring watercolor, I would like to keep it handy so I could paint with vibrant colors anywhere I want to or whenever I have something in mind.
I want to win the Daler & Rowney Aquafine 18-Color Travel Set so that I can use it while travelling to different places this coming May! 😀
I want to win because I want to start exploring my creative side again! Ever since I graduated college I never got back to doing creative stuff — because I’m stuck in the corporate world. I would like to revitalize my creative side and I think this set will definitely help me make that fresh start!
i want to win them all! hehe! i’ve always been more attuned to the left side of my brain (which they say is the creative side) and the arts has been my go to outlet for destressing so please, i want to win this loot most especially the Daler and Rowney Aquafine 18 color set 🙂
Actually it is really hard to pick one because all of them are very nice! but i like the Aquafine travel set because i am just a beginner in painting with watercolors and just like you I dreamed of having nice and complete painting materials which make me more inspired in exploring my creativity side. So thank you for making this giveaway!! Hoping to win!! :))
Thanks for this giveaway. This is a dream come true. I would like to win the Daler and Rowney watercolor set. As someone new to art and stuff, it’s good to have one material that is all around and versatile. Plus something that has good quality.
I really want to win them all tho the travel set tops it!
I want the Daler and Rowney Aquafine 18 color set bad to play with colors with my nephews and niece 🙂

This is so heartbreaking. </3 But, here goes. I want to win the Daler &Rowney Aquafine 18-Color Travel Set as a reminder to myself that this month, I will gather the courage to leave everything behind that's in the way to pursue my passion (which is drawing, painting, doodling, editing, and everything that I get to design).
Thank you tipsy and ponggo for always inspiring. I may be busy from work and other stuff and had been on a hiatus on commenting on this blog. But I always read and visit the site to get the stress off from the job. Keep inspiring. God bless you more. ^-^b
Is it just me or my comment got cut off? o.o
Out of all the amazing things, I’d want to win the Daler and Rowney Aquafine 18-Color Travel Set the most!! Since college started, I never had the chance to be artsy. Not like when it was summer. Ahhhhh so prettyyyy (i’m fangirling over art supplies rather than artists HAHAHA)
I would love to win the Daler and Rowney Aquafine 18-Color Travel Set!!! I love watercolors and I’m ready to try out something new! I’ve been using Reeves and Prang for awhile, and I’m ready to experiment with new pigments and get even better at my art!!! 🙂
I recently got myself a 10-color Daler and Rowney watercolor tube set and a 12-color travel set. I do not mind getting those papers. I need more paper to paint on.
OMG!! i really wanted to win the watercolor set that I can bring with me wherever I go!! i am also exploring watercolor lettering and drawing and this set can be a big help for me on my exploration! Yey for this! And lastly, I really wanted to win this set to finally cross out an item on my bucket list: To win a giveaway!!

i’d love to learn watercolor. hope to win!
I Love to win Van Gogh Acrylic Set!!! Crossing my fingers, hope to win!
Yes, I love this, i am an artist, i finished fine arts and do like to continue and explore more things and paint my new ideas that would come out from my imaginary mind (hehehe). This set would really help me a lot to become more of ME!
Yay! Thank you for the giveaway! The Aquafine travel set would be a perfect gift for my birthday next month! <3 *trying my luck*
I really love to win this giveaway because I badly want to start painting with some lettering and calligraphy so I think it’s the best way to get out of my comfort zone.Thank you and God bless! ☺
I would like to win the Clairefontaine 9″ x 12″ 300gsm Watercolor Pad or the Daler & Rowney Aquafine 18-Color Travel Set because they’re just oh so beautiful!! and the colors are so niceeeeee <3
I’ve been wanting to get back into painting and arts and crafts, and I’ve always wanted to get into calligraphy and lettering, so this would really jumpstart my plans. Hoping to win. Fingers crossed! 😀
These are my types of EYE CANDY. I really want to have all of them but I can only choose one and that’s the Daler & Rowney Aquafine 18-color Travel Set because it’s really hard to find that here in Cebu and I’ve been wanting to have one. 🙁 It’s just this year that I’ve been in love with lettering and calligraphy, so this would be a great help for aspiring artists like me. Honestly, I don’t have enough money yet to buy these materials because I’m still a student and I don’t have a job yet so I have been joining A LOT of giveaways but unfortunately I have not won a single piece. YEHEY! P.S. Can I have them all? 😀
I know how you feel! I also want to have them all!
Hahaha.
I would like to win because I have always loved art since I was a child! I realized that I really was passionate about art when I was in third year high, when my mom bought me art materials as a surprise. Then a year later when I was in fourth year high, my classmates asked if they could borrow my materials, and I did lend it to them in school. Unfortunately, they misplaced them and later I found out that it was thrown away by the janitors. It was placed inside a white plastic bag that they taught was trash! It definitely broke my heart. Now I am an incoming second year in college, and I think that if I win this giveaway, specifically the Daler and Rowney Aquafine 18 color set or the Daler and Rowney Round Brushes (No. 6 and No. 1), I would be able to kickstart my creative side again!
I have been longing for a wonderful watercolour set ever since! From all the different materials and mediums art may offer, I have fell involve with watercolour since day 1. Thanks for giving me chance on this giveaway Tipsy and Ponggo! God Bless 🙂
Ah, you got me at the mention of daler!!! Hello new art supplies i wont have to justify buying!
I want to win the giveaway because it will help me a lot especially in rendering and I don’t have enough money to buy all of that.
Going to the art section of bookstores feels like heaven to me but seeing their price tags just make my enthusiasm to sadness *haha* I have been learning to paint with watercolor and I’m getting into it, winning this will really help me improve. Thanks for the Chance !!!
Because this will make me happy!
I wanna win the watercolor set. Although I’ve only been doing calligraphy for a few months, I wanted to try something new and colorful that will add to my “repertoire” 🙂
It’s also fun to apply the different watercolor washes with brush lettering to produce a colorful calligarphic effect. 🙂
I’d love to win the watercolor set because ever since I was young I’ve been fascinated with art. I think watercolors are amazing mediums because they’re very flexible! you can express yourself through the colors along with lots of different brushes. It would be fun to explore watercolors more if I win the prize here. 🙂
Yup, there’s actually so much that you can do with this set! 🙂
The possibilities are literally endless!
First of all, this post is soooo mind blowing and drool worthy. I alwaya frequent the Fullybooked branches like the ones in BGC, Greenhills & Megamall, but the Greenbelt one is a bit out of way for me. Well at least now I know what I’ve been missing. Haha! Anyway, if I were to pick only one (although mind you, i’m already having dreams about the whole set of prizes) I would have to pick the Daler & Rowney Aquafine 18-Color Travel Set. I have been wanting a travel set since i got back to painting. You see I was a painting enthusiast back in my high school days until my paintings got tragically flooded. Because i didn’t even had any pictures of my artworks (since taking photos weren’t as popular before as it is today), I think i got traumatized and stopped painting. Luckily, due to a recent push from my friends, I’ve finally held a brush after more than 10 years. Unfortunately/Fortunately, my work entails me to travel a lot. I don’t want my constant travelling to be another hindrance for me to practice. So i’m really hoping I could win and get my groove back in painting with the travel set. =)
Winning these would literally make me cry! As a kid I’ve always been fascinated by all y the pretty colors *mind wanders away*~ so I’ve tried being “artistic” (note: it includes much lectures about the paint on my clothes) For quite a while I stopped and got busy with my academics, but I knew the colorful dream never went away. It’s only now that I’ve seriously been planning to pursue my childhood dreams once again (learn and have a serious hobby I can be proud of), as part of me wanting to explore and get to know myself better!
Aww..It seems like we’re on a parallel journey. I also seem to have forgotten about the stuff that I enjoyed as a kid until I got injured three years ago & had more time to sit down & dabble with color. 🙂
Gushing about the prizes already! 🙂 I recently joined a watercolor workshop and after that, I realized that there are so many watercolor brands out there are are really nice. My instructor referred this Art Section at the Fully Booked, even recommending Daler & Rowney watercolors! Maaaaaan, when I saw this giveaway of yours, I became extremely excited! 🙂 I really, really, really hope to win because I really, really, really like everything about this post (the giveaway, the topic and of course, the Googly Gooeys!).I’m currently learning to paint flowers and still life, and having quality materials from a trusted source is a must. The travel size of the paint set is also a plus since it will come in handy for my future getaways! 🙂 I hope to get chosen to win the watercolor set!
Yup yup. There are a looooooot of brands actually. Most of them you’ll find at Fully Booked in Greenbelt 5: Daler Rowney, Van Gogh, Windsor & Newton et cetera. Then for the papers, Daler Rowney, Clairefontaine, The Langton & ultimately, Arches! 🙂
I would love to win the Clairefontaine 9″ x 12″ 300gsm Watercolor Pad or Daler & Rowney Aquafine 18-Color Travel Set! I’ve been an art enthusiast since I was a kid! I really love doing art. Lately, I’ve been into brush lettering and watercolor painting. It would be really great if I’ll win this to help me pursue my art endeavor!
Visitng Fully Booked Greenbelt 5 is like going to Disneyland! 😀 I’d love to win any of the two 300gsm paper pads because it’s hard to find one in our local bookstores.
Really rooting for the Daler and Rowney Aquafine 18 color set. Wishing on all the shooting stars that i win
Going in the art section of bookstores feels like heaven to me but seeing their glorious price tags, the enthusiasm in me fades away *Haha* The Daler & Rowney Aquafine 18-Color Travel Set would really help me improve my skills in watercolor since I have just entered the world of Watercolor. Thanks for giving us the chance to win these awesome prizes !
Lol on the build up on the first few words followed by something anti-climactic.
Hahahaha. 🙂
I just realized that, maybe im just too excited for the giveaway that it turned out like that. Haha ! I was reading it and i was like huh!?! Its like oil and water combined lol
I’ve never won any giveaways before, but I’m wishing, hoping, and praying that I would win the Daler & Rowney Aquafine 18-Color Travel Set (or anything, really). Hahaha. :))
I would want to win the Daler & Rowney Aquafine 18-color travel set so that I’ll be able to bring them around with me and so that I don’t have to waste my allowance money anymore :'( I would want to win this too so that I’ll be more motivated to do my best and get better in watercoloring!!~ 🙂

Hello Charlene,
I don’t have the copy of the price list as I’m not from Fully Booked. 😉 Better to check out the store itself or call (02) 729 9985 for the prices.

Unfortunately FB GB 5 isn’t what it was anymore. I traveled all the way from Pampanga, February 2016 and was disappointed at the sight of their art section. So many paints and shelves unstocked. Barely a selection of papers and there was this area where they kept the oil sticks and what a mess! The sticks were stuck and have melted to each other and to the wall and to the container. I left without buying anything. I’m not sure I wanted to go back there again. I had such high hopes. 🙁
Really? Awww…That’s why I would call their branch sometimes first if I’m looking for a particular item. I was there last week & I was able to buy lots of things. I’ll let them know about this though.
