Festive = merry, happy, joyful…
I have spent more than 6 hours the whole of Friday morning making this “card” for my friend.
People may laugh, What? More than 6 hours to make a card? You must be crazy….
Well, that’s me…why not? This is my first time hand-making (with my clumsy big hands) a card for someone who I wish to share the joy and blessing with, in this festive season.
Starting from designing the card (more of impromptu, keep changing as and when I am doing it); staring and picking the letters from a pile of mini alphabets macaroni, to form the words; gluing them onto the coloured ice-cream sticks; punching those tiny Xmas trees and stars, gluing them to form the big Xmas tree..etc., all these, for someone who is skillful in art and craft, that should not be a problem at all, but not me…
At end it turned out not as good as I was expecting, but...anyway I managed to complete it by 3.30 pm and quickly rushed downtown to hand-deliver it to my friend, else next few days I would not be around. I did not dare to ask my friend to open it on the spot as too embarrassing...
Thoughtful, meaningful, and worth every hour you put into it! Your friend is lucky :)
ReplyDeleteVery nice and if that person does not like it you can make one for me next year. Very festive.
ReplyDeletewell done..if its done with love... :)
ReplyDeleteI think that card came out beautifully. I'm sure Madeline will see that it was made with loving hands and she'll cherish it forever. It looks like you would need a lot of patience to do all that... I don't know if I could have done it. Great post and great take on the theme, Dreamz.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend and a Merry Christmas.
it's a beautiful card, hope your friend loves it :o)

How good were you expecting? That is fantastic, well done you. Imaginative, personal and made with love. I would be so happy if I got a card like that!
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job!!! Anyone would love to have that....I really think handmade items are so much better...they come from the heart!
ReplyDeleteThat's a wonderful card! So thoughtful of you! What! 6 hours?! I would have taken days!! LOL!! Great photo & great take on the theme!

ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my page and your great comments! Christmas Blessings to you and yours..
I think it's wonderful that you would spend this much time doing something special for a friend. It is a very festive card. Thanks for visiting my page.
ReplyDeleteTY for the wonderful comment on my sisters wedding festive pictures. She is a hoot... It is beautiful. Any gift that is given form the heart is beautiful. I do not have any $$, so this year, I made ornaments for everyone, yes, they may look a little tacky, but I started at 1030am Christmas Eve Day and it is now 252am Christmas Day. I am yet wondering if it is even worth going to bed. LOL..I still have a few finishing touches for my niece, a shower to take and some sleep all before noon (YIKES!!) Well, I hope you have a wonderful and FESTIVE Christmas and a wonderful and Blessed New year, Love and Blessings, Friendship, Peace and Prayers this Christmas Day, lilangelwolf
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful, and so festive. I am sure your friend was thrilled.
