Cute overload

Are you ready for some cute overload?
Unpink asked me to make these cards for her. How I loved doing that!
This one is for a triplet that's on it's way. Unpink doesn't know the sexes yet so she will put on the little crowns herself when they are born.
Unpink came up with the text, I did the felt tokens - great co-operation.The other card is with a slightly larger baby head because there's only one baby on it's way.
I think I need to make more of these to list in my shop.

Custom work


Thought the greeting cards with a felt token inside were cute?
Well, this set is even more so since they are just little cards!
Sarah asked me to make these especially for her and I loved doing that.
They are absolutely adorable! :) Thanks Sarah! :)

At last: a moss terrarium... from France

Since I saw this picture from Neawear on Flickr, my mind wouldn't let go of the idea to make my own moss terrarium. So on the last day of our vacation, I gathered some rocks & moss and took it home. That's why I have a French moss terrarium now. Is there such a thing as a 'French moss terrarium' or am I being silly? :)
There are more moss terrarium photo's in my Flickr!

How to organise a Secret Santa?

Make your teammembers ready for Secret Santa by spreading the word that he is in town.
Write a message in your Yahoo-group (or other) so people can sign up.
Collect all the names in a database in Yahoo (or other). Here is an example:
Send off the questionnaire to all participants. Convo me if you want to have an example of a questionnaire.
Mark all the received questionnaires in your database so that you know that everybody returned their questionnaire.
Match the participants according to the questionnaire. Try to find the perfect match so people will be happy and content.
Send off the questionnaire of the participant to his/her Secret Santa & mark it in your database so that people can see if they have received their name.
Make people let you know when they send and received their gift and mark that in the database.
Result: much joy and happy faces when they open their gifts! :)

Chocomatic

I found this article through my latest addiction called 'stumble upon' and I thought it might be of some intrest for some of my blog readers! :) LOL

If you have a serious love for chocolate and need a way to make the time pass a bit faster while you’re stuck in this office, you might pick up one of these. Every single hour it will present a chocolaty treat to you and you have to snatch it off of the tray before it closes back up again. Which means you’ll have to watch the clock a bit closer, as if you weren’t watching it closely enough before. Sadly watching the clock never seems to make it move any faster, in fact it seems to go slower. Luckily if you need an extra boost you can hit the cheat button. The cheat button will then dispense a chocolate for you even though it’s not time for the hourly sweets. Hopefully the compartment you fill with chocolate stays cool enough that they won’t melt together. You’ll also have to be mindful and make sure the room itself doesn’t get too warm. It will hold about 30 pieces of chocolates, giving you about 30 hours of chocolate. That is unless you’re too anxious and hit the cheat button a lot. You can pick it up for about $40, sadly it’s sold out of the US right now. The UK site has it in stock though.

Don't you love the part about the 'hit the cheat button'? :)

Stumbled upon this frog again...

And I love it... the frog AND stumbling!
You have just got to try it!

How my vacation was...

I found this picture through Stumble upon and I think I'm already addicted to this stumbling.
Good thing that I still have some time off work. :)
