CoCoNUT Cards

It was Joanne and Eric's 大日子 (wedding) yesterday. It was my first time invited to a tent wedding. Though slightly hot, but it was definitely much better than the thunderstorm we got last weekend. The bride looked good! I looovvvveee her dresses. :)

I made a wedding card for them. This is the first time I successfully use ribbons for my cards. The trick is to use double sided tape to tape the ribbons, and wrap the ends behind a piece of paper, so the ends won't show and become "frilly". I also used eyelets for the card, which I haven't used for a while. (I usually make cards in wee hours, my downstairs neighbour probably wouldn't want to hear me hammering the eyelets then.)

我已經為母親節準備好了! 可可喜歡做卡給媽咪, 因為她收到時會好好欣賞, 用好誇張的口吻讚賞一輪, 回到家後, 又會把我的卡放在family當眼的地方. 可可每次回家見到自己的卡被放在family room 裡, 都會好似小朋友時作品被"貼堂"般沾沾自喜. 媽咪當然把我以往送給她的卡都好好收藏起來. I am ready for Mother's Day! I made our mothers handmade cards. I love making my mom handmade cards, since she always appreciates receiving them, and will even display them in the family room for a while. :)

最近見Diana瘋狂的弄quilling手作卡, 我也試試看. 還做了兩張差不多樣, 媽咪一張, 奶奶一張. (無偏心架! :) ) I am trying out the quilling method after seeing Diana has been addicted to quilling lately :)

Today is my mom's birthday. We went out to have dinner together. My brother got my mom a very pretty crystal necklace (let me add the Swarovski necklace to my wish list for my birthday). I was going to try to make a necklace for my mom, but my online order of beads didn't arrive in time. (I will give that to her for mother's day:P) Instead I got her 6 pairs of Japanese chopsticks, and of course as always, I made her a birthday card. :) (My mom actually kept everyone of the cards that I made her. :))

以 前可能又要顧家又要上班, 太大壓力, 食食下飯都會掛住公司的事, 印象中跟我們會說東西比較少. 最近發覺見到呀娘很喜歡一句又一句的, 說這又說那, 真的好好笑. 特別是呀嗲聽了不懂回答時, 外邊看來好像只有呀娘說, 呀嗲卻沒有甚麼反應的, 更好笑. 辛苦了三十年, 把我和弟弟都帶大了, 輕鬆一點, 像對老夫老妻, 也挺溫馨的 . (此刻的我不禁想, 時間為何會過得那麼快?)

不過呀嗲呀娘可以老夫老妻, 就永遠不會是老爸老媽了. 我還是要做他們心目中的小女孩哦!

祝媽咪青春長駐. 身體健康!
