teacher’s gift

When I was thinking of a Christmas card for E’s teacher, a Christmas tree shape with the kids photos immediately came to mind. As one of the class parents, I had asked the mums and dad in the class if they would want to pool money to buy gifts for Mrs. Jansons and most agreed. So with the money collected I bought a mastercard giftcard (which if you believe is not really marketed, it’s mostly giftcards for specific stores which are) and a hand and feet lotion set. I had a little bit of a hard time trying to finish the layout, it was like the concept was just up to the tree after that I sort of drew a blank at first. Well after going back and forth through different papers I had finally finished the layout. Printed it and put it in a picture frame.

When mum was here visiting she asked me to make something for her to give to her friends this Christmas. I wasn’t really able to do it until about a month or so ago. She asked to make different cards/memento for 3 different groups. I wasn’t allowed to post it online beforehand (I posted something she had me do last year on facebook and one of the intended recipients somehow saw it) but now that she has given the gifts during their various Christmas parties I can finally post it here.

For her 4Cs group:

invite

My mum recently asked me to make a birthday invite for her and auntie S. They have their birthdays one day apart and every year they throw a party for their friends to celebrate. Although it’s not for a few more months, here is what I came up with:

free kit :)

I joined the contest that Fei Fei Stuff was having. She was giving away a kit that she’s releasing on Digital Crea where she’s the guest designer for the month. And my entry was lucky enough to be picked by the random number generator. haha!

PS2011: January pt2

So I finally finished the other page for January from the 2 templates that SP provided. This photo was taken at the great barrier reef exhibit at Sydney Aquarium. It was E’s special request to go visit the aquarium on his birthday, he was keen on seeing the Lego on the loose exhibits there.

end of year

E’s class had their end of year party last Sunday. Everyone surely enjoyed the day from the kids to the parents. It was really nice to see majority of  E’s classmates there. I can’t believe that it has been a year, it really seems like they’ve just started school. Today was their last day and they had a little send off for the year 6 students.

It was a good year in kindy and here’s to another good year in year 1.
