Felted ornaments


This is not the first time I've received a Christmas card or a Christmas ornament from my friends who celebrates Christmas. But what makes it special this time is because the ornament is made from felt. I had no idea about hand needle felted craft before. This is the first time I'm seeing it. :)

A great pal of mine, CC Peyton, who now lives in New Mexico, USA, made it for me. She even printed her own Christmas card which she and hubby designed.....with Spanish wordings "Feliz Nevidad!" at the  front of the card which simply means "Merry Christmas" in English.

She knows I love BLUE and that's why she made the hand felted ornament blue in color....hehehe.....and her favourite color is blue as well by the way ;). CC and her hubby Ron make their own Christmas ornaments each year. It's more special when you try to make your own instead of buying them at the store. This way, it's more personalised as well to suit your theme or personality. 

Honestly, I've never even tried felt craft before. Been thinking about trying it out this year. Not sure yet when though, but will make an effort to create or incorporate felt craft in my handmade card designs. :) 

Thank you sweetie for this lovely card and gift! I love them!! ;)

Big smile!


I have a big smile on my face today.... :) and one of the many reasons why I have a big smile on my face today is because for the first time ever, I got a handmade thank you card from one of the winners of my blog giveaway! Yay!! It's from Miss Fairuz Farhana from Craft Anggor :).

She made a thank you card for me using the quilling technique and also a technique that I would also love to explore more which is sewing on paper. I've tried sewing on paper years ago but I added beads and sequins to it as well. Never tried to do wordings before using this technique. So it's something that I would love to try out this year. :)

Thank you so much Fairuz for taking the trouble to make this lovely card for me and also making your own envelope from scratch. I'm so happy to receive this card from you. Words cannot express any further how happy I am.....God bless you dear! ;)
