If you don’t know already, I am into crafts right now. More like paper craft. My all-time favourite is to wrapping presents with brown paper or kraft paper. There are so much we can do with kraft paper wrappers. They look great with flower toppers, twines, paper flowers and many more. Just last Christmas, I made paper bags made from kraft papers for my friends’ presents instead of wrapping them with the usual wrapping papers. I decorated the bags with cut-out initials of my friends’ names from pages of magazines. Then I sealed the bags with a ‘ribbon on top. My friends loved the packaging idea.

DIY Gift Wrapping
I have been visiting many craft blogs lately and feeling very inspired. Perhaps I should start a Craft blog and post about the lovely projects which I have seen. That way, I can always go back to read them and try to do some of the crafts eh? What I love most are the creative paper packaging for gifts. There is nothing better than a simple brown kraft paper as gift wrapper. There is so much you can do to decorate the gift.
nice?
newspapers or map make a good wrapper too.

Making Your Own Party Packs
My daughter is celebrating her birthday this month and I am in the midst of preparing her party packs. I really enjoy doing this because I am trying to make some cute party packs for her. Yeah, I like DIY stuff. You can imagine my delight when I stumbled upon some really cute paper bags at Shop Sweet Lulu. They are just perfect for those who like to DIY the packs like me. My favourite are the cute Dottie bags and sweet Gingham ones. They also have loads of pretty party decors like balloons, tissue pouf, party flags and more.
DIY Gift Bows
Before I begin to look for diet pills that work, I thought I would share with you this lovely gift bows idea from How About Orange. Everyone knows that I love paper craft. So when I saw these pretty recycled gift bows made from yellow pages, I was thrilled. First, cut out 1 inch wide strips from pages of the book. Then cut a few full-length strips as well as a few strips that are 3″ shorter. Form the strips into an “eight” shape and tape the ends in the center. Arrange the longer strips to form a circle and staple it in the middle. Repeat with the shorter strips and add the single loop to the center using double-sided tape. For more craft ideas, do visit How About Orange.

D-I-Y Decorations For The Chinese New Year
I have been looking around for ideas on how to make my own decorations for the coming Chinese New Year. There are so many great ideas out there. I am left feeling very inspired. When I came across the Dogwood Flowers paper cutting from Martha Stewart craft blog, I decided to do them using the red envelopes (angpow). Then I saw another pretty decorating idea – Paper Butterflies. Just trace the template onto some colourful papers and cut out the shapes. Attach the butterflies onto the lanterns with tape or glue. Pretty easy eh? Now, if you have leftover Christmas Party Invitations, you can use them to cut the butterfly shapes. Christmas Party Invitations are so colourful and vibrant, and they make very pretty paper butterflies.
Have You Taken Some Fruits Today?
After helping my friend to check out the bridesmaid dresses for her coming wedding, I went to look for some wedding favour ideas when I stumbled upon this cute box of pears. Cute eh? They are not edible though. These cute pears are actually memo pads from D-Bros. I love them. You can also find memo pads in the shape of apples. There are 150 sheets in one. A nice way to add some fun to your work table.

Diet pills that work fast is what I need to get my hands on now because a good friend of mine who was my schoolmate, will be getting married in May.
