Day 18 Christmas DIY

And I would never have imagined that my daughter-in-law would be so creative and talented.  These are the cards leftover from her beautiful wedding celebrations.  How she has transformed them into something so meaningful and useful is just magical.  

I was blown away by the beauty and simplicity of this project, not forgetting the perfect calligraphy, which makes it all the more meaningful.  

What more can I say?  

Did I mention, she's cooking Christmas dinner too?  

We are blessed to have her in our family.  

Great job, G!  We're very proud of you! 

Day 2 Christmas Cards

I used to be very "rajin" to send cards before and took pride in choosing lovely ones for each person.  Now it's almost an obsolete choice, with all the technology available, but I am amazed that there are still people who buy, write a note, put a stamp on the envelope and post a card off.

Anyway, I did send something out to surprise a handful of people.  I'm hoping it will brighten their day.  

Stephen was equally happy that we found something practical and special.  He was pretty excited that we are doing something clandestine.  Hahahahaha.  He wants them all to receive it on the same day but with the postal system and heavy delivery schedule, I doubt very much that this will happen.

Christmas Wishes to all

These days it's so easy with technology.  

This went out via email, sms, whatsapp, and now here.

Just a simple but meaningful wish to all of you!

Have you received any real Christmas card this year?  I only sent one this time.  It's to someone who doesn't have email or whatsapp. So the next best thing is by snail mail.

And just because we're so used to instant delivery and also an almost instant reply, my mind is wondering where the card is and if it will arrive safely to the destination.

I'll have to wait and see if the recipient gets it.  *taps fingers on table*

Note: The recipient acknowledged receipt yesterday.  The power of an SMS.  

Countdown: 8 days to Christmas

The Christmas Hollies remind me of some art done by my friend. You can check it out here.  

I love this vintage Christmas Card as much as I love my friend's work of art.  She is amazing and never ceases to amaze me with her creativity and gift.  

Do yourself a favour and check her out!

Countdown: 36 days to Christmas

To think that I threw away so many old cards!! 

Nowadays people hardly send cards but if you do get any, this is a fun thing to do.

What a nice touch for dinner!  Need to practise folding it first!  :)
