Little Cozy Corner

Not too sure if I mentioned it before or not, but Mum is a super sentimental kind of person and it’s really great that she is because she has kept all the cards that we made her while we were growing up and today, I can show them to you. I made her dig it up! *lol* I didn’t think she minded because it brought back memories, I’m sure. Both sis and I grew up making cards for both Mum and Dad. We rarely bought cards or gifts for them. They were always handmade - made with lots of love.

But I guess as we grew older and moved on with life, the small but meaningful gestures and action were lost along the way. Now, we still send her cards but they are mostly stuff you get from the store. I think it’s about time that I got back into the habit of making cards again. I used to love it and I actually still do but I seem to have lost all my artistic ideas and have a blank mind! How do I get those creative juices flowing?? Anyway, while I figure it out and if you have some to share, please do…..in the meantime, here’s my sharing.

The poem of 1998 reads :

Dearest Mummy,

You gave me life, you gave me love

You gave me more than I deserve

For in my heart you know it’s true

All I have is love for you

So on this very special day

I have three words I wish to say

I hold them dear, I hold them true

For these three words are…

“I love you”!

This is the outside, here is the inside.

Dad’s & Mum’s 21st Wedding Anniversary card - don’t ask me what it means. I can’t remember why I made the card this way.

This is the outside of the card, here is the inside.

Hope you enjoyed it. It’s been awhile since I joined S&T and now, I think I was also the last to post this!

What makes a man handy?

A complete set of tools in his toolbox that he actually uses to fix things around the house! And I happen to know of such a man and he is in the family too. He’s an uncle of mine who can fix anything and everything under the sun. How he does it still amazes me because I wouldn’t have a clue where to start when I encounter a mechanical problem.

I’m pretty sure if he got his hands on some air tools, he could work wonders! At e-Tools, they have every sort of tool you can think of from grinders to shears, air ratchets to drills and screwdrivers too. I bet he’d think that he was in tool heaven if he check this site out! I better let him know about it - there’s bound to be something he could get online.

Jeez, I never knew skate shoes existed until today. Talk about being left behind when it come to the latest trend and fashion! O well, at least I now know what to get my cousin for his birthday that’s coming up real soon. Being a teenager, all I’ve seen him do is skate on his board. He’s got multiple wounds and scratches and yet, he continues this madness. I’m not surprised really - he must really enjoy the adrenaline rush!

Since he’s so into the sport, I’m sure that he’d appreciate a pair of new shoes, what more skate shoes. WIth so many designs to choose from, I hope that he will like the one I pick. As a matter of fact, I might even get a pair myself - I might not be a skater but I love to be on top of fashion and they really do look comfortable and stylish too.
