Thanksgiving

It's the time of the year to keep crafting for thanksgiving and gratitude. And for the kids, it's making thank you cards for teachers.

Today it's bbC's turn to start the process as she will be leaving the current preschool in two weeks time, to change to a new preschool next year.

Here's a sneak of work in progress as I work with her to put together her items.

And what ms E was making last week? It's been completed and filled with her friends notes and addresses, as it is also her final year in preschool before she steps into primary school in 2013.

Myself, I've been crafting as well. A quick thank you card exchange in a course I was attending, & my recipient is a male classmate.

Maybe it's time to think about crafting and thanking someone today too. Start yours :)

Tweet! Tweet!

It was a bird week for me.

This week was my boss' special day & I made a really quick alteration for a keychain birdhouse to gift her. Washi taped the birdhouse with a decorative smaller washi around the bottom border.


The same week, two new tiny birds hatched into my nature surrounded workplace. Seeing them was a great perk to the week as their nest was located just outside our dining hall at my workplace.  The cute birdies have since flown away... never seen them back at the nest since :)

Can you see the tiny pair of eyes?

Birthday doubles

My two besties birthday just passed and since we all know each other, I made a matching but slightly different card for both of them.

I have like 5 assorted boxes of DCVWcard base on standby for those days where I need to make cards in a jiffy. These are really handy and I pulled these two from the Josephine collection.

My two besties birthday came around again and we had a great celebration at a Jap restaurant, all 7 of us. I had the privilege of making their cards again this year & I decided to make it alike but different. Like them.

Here I used Japanese fabric tape and washi tape for the cards. Coupled with paper trims, Webster cardstock alphabets and of course topped with my favorite stickles and gems.


I used some faber castell watercolor pencils on the cupcake but coloring is unusual for me. I think if I want to continue doing so, I'd need to buy better color pencils.

Washi tape it!

What do you do when you have to entertained 2 little girls and no time to craft?
Answer : you bake chocolate cupcakes and do washi tape project!

I did a quick morning alteration after giving up on trying to clean marker stains. Fastest way? Decoupage + washi tape! I basically decoupage a new table surface with wrapper of choice and used my choice of washi tape on all the sides and legs, mod podge everything and have plenty left over.  

Viola, my entirely blue Ikea kids table is now polkadot special!  (Kinda match my cupcake, don't you think?)
