birthday

today is my birthday. yes I'm getting older... and its not a good news actually... think about grey hair and wrinkles... lol^^ but want to thank God above for the happy life I have, the best parents, a loving husband, couple of adorable kids, and a caring family...

what I like about birthday is the people you loved will be gathered and be around you to celebrate though they are busy:)

lately I had finished several favor orders, and this is one of my fave, belonged to a lady who celebrated her 35th birthday with her bffs.

Girls always love accessories, yes?:)

pyramid shape gift tutorial

while preparing some hampers order for this christmas, i think about my own "hampers" for families and friends. my own christmas greeting:) This is what i'll make, a "bacang" (i thought it looks like bacang better than a pyramid) filled with ferero rocher, yummmm! last time i promise to share the pyramid shape tutorial, so here it is.

you only need paper (wrapping paper or fancy paper), thread or ribbon, and tape. cut your paper in size 25x12 cm, and then do the steps as in the picture. i'm not good in words, so i hope the picture is clear enough:p write to me if you want to ask;)
psst... the point is, glued bottoms in the opposite side to get the shape, one horizontal and one vertical, and yes! you got it!

about birthday

ughhh... u know what... today is my son's BIRTHDAY!!! and this mamma hasn't prepared anything for her beloved ryu... huhuwwww... at least I know what to present to ryu, I'll buy it on the way home. yes, I have to office today after my off monday, really thank God yesterday was holiday. so.. I'll post about ryu's birthday later... tomorow maybe...

birthday is so related to gifts, and last saturday ryu was invited to a friend's daughter 1st birthday celebration. ryu went to the party with his daddy, because they didn't come hometown with me, the ticket was sold out. in a rush of going, the gift need to be wrapped! it's a very cute purple dress inside:)
I used this baby pink fancy paper, lace tape, ribbon, teddy bear in stripey purple, and look! next time I'll give the step by step how to make a pyramid shape present:)

luscious china pattern

found this wrapping paper at gramedia bookstore. cost only idr 2.500, and available in two color, soft peach and black, I bought both.
at the time I saw those papers, memory of my late grandma blasted to mind, an old lady who did great embroideries, want you to remind me to take pictures of her works when I'm back to my hometown, my mom keeps them neatly in a box, and some has applied to mom's beddings:)
