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.
Have you seen a paper pen before? Well this is my first time too. This cool and eco-friendly pen is made of recycled A4 paper. Awesome eh? All the paper used for this handmade pen was taken from the offices and each sheet of paper is different. This means that no two pens are alike. You can get this pen from ContraForma.com.
My daughter will be celebrating her birthday next month. I can’t believe that she’s going to be 6 soon. Time sure flies. I am planning a simple birthday celebration for her at the park with her friends. I have been busy planning for her birthday like sending out the invitations, deciding on the type of food and making party packs. When it comes to gift for her birthday, I found a few really awesome things at Personal Creations. It is really hard to pick out a gift since everything is so lovely there. Perhaps I could get her aunts and grandparents to buy her gifts at Personal Creations too. I have narrowed down to a few things.

Flower Name Stepstool
Stackable Wood Storage

Here is something really neat for those who love cooking – A Printed Upside Down Apron. Besides being a place for you to wipe your dirty hands or keeping your clothes free while you cook and bake, this Printed Upside Down Apron works as a kitchen aid too. The apron is printed with all kinds of information such as liquid and dry measurement, temperature conversion, common abbreviations and common cooking terms. Also included are guides on how to roast chicken and turkey, how to check a steak and pasta portion sizes. All you need to do is lift up the apron to find all these information.

My daughter will be celebrating her 6th birthday next month. I still have not decided what present to give her. My spouse suggested that we get her a bicycle since she has been asking for one with a basket when she saw it at a bicycle shop in the mall. Oh, she also prefers one that is pink as pink is her favourite colour. I wonder if we could find a folding bike too. It would be easy to bring along to the park. If not, we may need to get a thule bike rack for our car.
Check out this cool kitchen gadget from Royal VKB. It is a double-sided hand juicer which allows you to juice without any mess. Just place the Citrange juicer directly on the glass. It has a built-in funnel which will guide the juice into the glass. Another great thing is that the Citrange also filters out the seeds. The rounded side is for bigger fruits like grapefruits or orange and the pointy side is for lemons or limes. I love to have my juices in the morning before I pop some pre workout supplements. The Citrange is just what I need.
I just discovered Cath Kidston recently. A friend was using a pretty floral tote bag and when I queried, she told me it’s a Cath Kidston. I checked her website as soon as I could and I fell over heels in love with her collection. Designer, Cath Kidston is based in London and is known for her quirky, floral print. Besides clothing, accessories and bags, she has expanded her products to homewares and kids. Today, Cath Kidston is a unique global lifestyle brand. Here are a few things which I really like.

Have you heard of JakPak? Well outdoor enthusiasts are going to love this. JakPak is actually a jacket with a built-in tent and a built-in sleeping bag. How cool is this? Made from breathable but waterproof urethane coated ripstop nylon / polyester fabric, the sleeping bag can be unfurled from the sides of the jacket. Great for keeping you warm and cozy for the night. Next time when you head out to the woods, there is no need to bring along a tent and a sleeping bag. Just wear a JakPak. Talk about travelling light. I am thinking of getting one for my spouse because he enjoys camping with his friends. I am sure JakPak can also keep his nikon camera batteries and camera safely too.

Many people dislike Mondays and so do I. Mondays are not what I look forward to because I feel that the weekend goes by too soon. Well, another possible explanation is that I do not like my job very much. I always try to psych myself up on Sunday night and look forward to the good things. So, what cures my Monday Blues? Thinking of a swimming pool with pool lift, listening to some of my favourite songs or visiting my favourite online stores for some retail therapy 😉
