). These cards are not only conveying my Christmas wishes but also a thank you card for these friends whose help me to get crafts accessories and kits which I can't get in my town. On the other hand, these are not the only friends I want to thank but I was unable to complete so many cards in a short time. Am here to express my gratitude to everyone who guides me.

Hand drawn sleigh fills with plenty of gifts with Christmas quote stamped from Studio G clear stamp.

I attempted to decorate paper clip by using the ornament stamp images given by Jiexi and it turned out like this. It's fun to make this!
My 2nd whimsey jar is heading to Canada today! I packed it with more plastic bubble wrap to protect the jar this time, hope it reaches my partner in good condition as my previous swap to The Netherlands was broken. In this swap, it's much more easier to prepare and I decorated the jar with deco tape and keroppi sticker on the top. As this swap is for beginner and sender choice, I've filled the content with ribbons, deco tape, clips, thread, buttons, lucky star strips, glitter glue and embellishment such as brads, sequins & beads.
Besides, I've received my jar yesterday! It was all the way from USA, I'm glad it arrived safely! My partner used the baby food jar wrapped with a nice string pouch. She even made another tissue bag with the same cloth, love it! The contents of the jar were few strips of fibre, beads, eyelets, mini clear stamp and mini clear block. Wonderful jar!

This is absolutely a big surprise for me! Jiexi sent me some Christmas stamp images silently, I love them all and thanks so much Jiexi! Woo!! your package truly wipe off my exhausted day!
First card sent to my Australian partner. I made this card from reindeer, snowflake and angel punches with Ranger Crystal Stickles.
2nd card was for US partner, this is my favourite card among the 3 designs. I love white and blue combination. Taking this opportunity to try on shaker card as I've seen the tutorial before. I'm very happy with the outcome and I also applied the glossy accent that I just bought on the snowmen. Christmas ribbon was received from my previous swap from swap-bot as well.
Last card definitely for my Canadian partner. I must confess that this card was make in a hurry. I make a pair of winter glove for her as Ontario is cold in winter. However, the winter glove look alike pair of boxing glove instead!
Can't believe it! I have made another online purchases after my first trial few days ago. I'm really hooked into online shopping!
For the 2nd round, it was really tough and stress as more ATCs to be made, some of the members even good in scrapbooking & stamping. Unfortunately, it's wrong timing for this round as I've tight schedule to be achieved in my work. I was busy like crazy to meet the deadline both on my work and ATC making. Eventually, all ATCs were done in just a week before the posting deadline. oh! it's really hastily...
I begun my online purchase finally! I've been observing for card making tools long ago but never placed any order before due to the price, forex, high postage and custom issues. However, I found a local online shop - Crafty Heart from Ciyou's blog and the prices are pretty reasonable and affordable.
This is my new product for swap-bot Black & Pink Handmade. As my partner is a cat lover, thus I decided to sew this lovely cat for her. The cat itself in black felt with grayish patches and a pink cushion to warm her up!
I have come across some of the new crafts recently. This is really new for me but may not be for everyone. I discovered this lovely scottie pattern from allsorts (it's free, thanks Jenny!!) and begun my first ever sewing on felt.
I would love to make more to improve my skill...it's so adorable, aren't you agree?!
一直以來對寵物沒有很大的興趣，可是卻很喜歡蘇格蘭狗狗。總覺得他的外型非常討喜，在偶然的機緣下搜到了這不織布的圖搞；興致勃勃的就繡了有生以來的第一只寵物娃娃。遺憾的是把狗狗的身體底部繡歪了，乍看之下像極一道疤痕...吼～還真的是有待進步！
I just discovered that matchbox can be so fancy!!
The pictures shown the little present given by my little niece. One buck of Ringgit Malaysia with a small note written in Chinese. It's all her own idea, isn't it kawaii!!
