WAW Challenge #62 - Hearts/Anything Goes

For this week's challenge, I thought a 2013 calendar would be an excellent idea! :0) I know, it's kind of a wee bit late but like they always say.. "It's better late than never!" Lol.

Well, I needed a calendar on my work table as I am always loosing track of day and date (and also time!). So, a calendar would do me awesome! :) And also, with an excellent verse to go with it...

 

It's pretty simple. I got the template for the lil calendar from Very Merry Vintage Style. You can download it and make your own lovely calendar.

So, have fun! And Be blessed! *hugs*

DAY 6 - 25DAYS of Christmas Gifties or Stocking Stuffers

Day 6 - Personalised Journal / Mini album

My daughter have been reminding me that I owe her a book / journal. She wanted one to write in her "dreams" and aspirations which she had the idea from her previous motivational camps that she went to. :0)

So, I finally got down to it and was so taken with it that in the end, it was so hard for me to let go! lol. It's always the same scenario with all my other projects, especially Mini Albums or Scrapbooks.

I tend to overdo in the end but in a good way. I love studying a person before I make my albums. So for my daughter's Journal, I had every page added with a special word of encouragement or a word on DREAM BIG and so forth.

Anyways, here's what I made, I was really tempted to give it to her for Christmas, but...it's still too long away for me to contain the joy. Haha...oh well...

There you go, another idea you can make for a loved one!

The front flap comes with a fastener.

I've added her name to make it more presonal like a diary.

The front page.

Individual pages had different words.

There were all in all, almost 40 pages, so I could not add every page!

If you are interested in making one, we do take orders for personalised albums. Just throw me an email and give me your details.

Hope you enjoyed your visit here! Have a Blessed week! *hugs*

DAY 4 - 25DAYS of Christmas Gifties or Stocking Stuffers

Day 4 - A Thing Of The Past

I have been thinking, what would be a good Stocking Stuffer for my Nieces and Nephew? *Putting on Thinking Cap*

A-Ha...I got It. For a change, I thought it would be good make games on recycled papers, or anything. When I say "Games"...I don't mean Games which Youngsters have these days.

Alot of our fun games which I use to Love playing is taking a slow death! Lol. Some kids these days, don't even know these games.

So you are probably wondering what I am talking about? :D

Well, lookie here! Look what I've dug up!

I am going to make these on Mahjong Paper and fold them up to stuff them into my nieces and nephew stocking this year. :D And boy, Oh my! I didn't even know there were other versions! XD

Hopscotch


Pick-Up-Sticks

These are easy to make. You can buy those little skewed sticks or crafts sticks from the hobby shop or as we Malaysians call it - the Satay Stick. Paint them with acryllic paints and walah!...you have a new game! ;-)



Five Stones

This was another of my favourite game and I used to be really good in it. But sadly, it's been such a long while since I've played it. But recently, I did make a few sets of Five Stones for my daughter and her friends.


This isn't my pic. I got it from the web. And if you are looking for instructions to make these fun and awesome game, look no further. Visit this lady's site: Ikatbag.com

Old Maid Cards



Remember these? "OLD MAID"! Lol... I used to laugh so hard whenever I played this game with my brothers. It used to be so fun trying to get them to be the "OLDMAID"

There are so many more ideas and fantastic Stocking stuffers we can give to kids these day.

For me, I tend to like doing things a lil different. I love reconnecting the past and bringing them back to my nieces and nephews and even my own kids. I guess in that way, they won't loose out or forget these wonderful stuffs.

Ah! The Simplicity of Life! *hugs*

Hope you enjoyed this post. Have a blessed day and till our next meeting....
