Picture Perfect - Festive


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...
