this year there's more craft work to my wrapping. it was tiring but i really enjoyed myself and was happy just looking at them. hopefully they bring some smiles to the recipients.the red taped ribbon is from osaka and the wrapper is from bangkok. i finally got to use them for my favorite friends' presents. realised that these tapes are sold in some craft shops in Singapore now. Not special anymore, but still...i love them. nice?
the name tags are made of canvas paper and i punched them using the xmas tree punch i just got recently. was also happy the alphabet stamps and stamp pads from Kodomo Inc came to use. these stamps are really marvelous in quality and adds a personal touch to these presents.
ooohhh...this was tough...so tough. the theme this year for dbs gang's xmas gathering was japan-nese. there will be japanese food, drinks and decor ..and we had to wrap the presents in japanese theme too. boy was it hard to decide what to do since the real jap materials here aren't cheap. a roll of japanese printed paper could cost at least S$15!! so with the sakura craft punch i had, i decided to make something simple using the japanese origami papers and glued them on a recycled box i got from muji. with the simple gold ribbon, i thought it looks almost perfect. well, the picture here doesn't really do it justice.

it's therapeutic!
i wish i could show you what i'm doing this weekend. but i don't have my camera with me as i've left it at D's place. i'm almost done with xmas shopping and have been busy wrapping presents since yesterday. it's actually quite a joy. i love doing crafts and with the time you spend creating a "look" for the presents and having it finally done is REALLY satisfying. i've completed wrapping 21 gifts and got about 5 more to go for now....it's tiring but i find the process therapeutic...ho ho ho!! i'm so looking forward for xmas and to see the happy faces when the presents are opened!
