Bridal hand bouquet

As I'm a a la cart bride.. there won't be any props or flower bouquet for my upcoming Pre wedding photoshoot. So everything I have to prepare myself!

I went around asking for flowerist for quotes.. mostly around $120 - $150 for 6 to 8 stalks of flower.
At that point of time, I was look for either Gebarra, rose or peony flowers. Kinda of expensive and it will be just for 1 day (3hours) for the photoshoot!!

So I explored my options.. my crystal bouquet couldn't be done in time for the photo and I want this crystal bouquet for my usage during the Actual Day... so i went to Google and search other alternatives...

Come back with many ideas like:

- Felt flowers (really cute and bright colours)
- Vintage brooches (Sweet! Something new, something borrowed)
- Crystal (which im diy-ing for my AD)
- Paper Flower (Why didn't i think about this?)

Yup!! Why didn't i think about it! Paper Flower!

Ok, In Singapore such unique ideas.. no one will sell so you have to DIY.. But I haven't really explore how to do a paper flower bouquets, search at Esty website! I got my answer. Almost the same price as fresh flowers but paper flowers are going to last a long time.

Esty: Paper Flower Bouquet

Wondering if i should get it! Should take ard 2-4 weeks to create one & 10 - 14 days to deliver.
Hmm....

Got to really decide!

Handmade present for friends...

For my Best Friend @ Work - Nana

 I did this altered art letter for my best girl friend at work, who i share all my ups and down, my shopping partner, my laughing and crying partner! Recently I've been very upset on relationship issues, and im glad that I've her with me, to go thru this heartbreak times...

Not to mention my child hood friend too.. though it's been awhile since we meet up, we finally had time to meet up during Christmas. And she's always sending me sms to send her concern and keep telling to call her out if I've any problems. Really appreciate that... 


 Surprising to see a Chinese girl whose best friend is Malay.. well, we live in a multi racial country..

As for these two gifts, I've yet to sent out... Though it may not have any special meaning to the receiver but I'll keep those wonderful memories that we had in  my mind...We will learn from our mistakes which will make us a better person in future..


Last but not least.. Happy Boxing Day!
