Bon voyage tag, and some photos from Japan

Hellooowwww everyone!!!

i can't believe it seems like forever i haven't blog.
I was so busy during January, i guess i am just not used to my new life yet, becoming a housewife, definitely loads of houseworks to do around the house, and i also spent quite much time on preparing my husband and my.. honeymoon trip.

WE just got back from Japan and we totally love our trip!!  it was an independence trip , not joining tour, and it was  also my first time planning such kind of trip :)

before we left, i actually made a tag and wrote a post blog, but i forgot to hit the publish button,i hit the "save" button instead -__-" silly me. so here i re-write my post.

 

I created this mini tag to celebrate our first trip together, and plan to put this somewhere in my album ^^ Stamps from Penny Black Love is in the air set.

We went to Japan by Thai airways and on the biggest plane i've ever been on. Flight was smooth, but soon as i arrived back in Thailand, i have this bad fever and catch cold. (too tired i guess)

Since i re-write my post, i want to share some pictures we took while we're in Japan.

a snapshot i catch on the plane, this plane Airbus A380 has HUGE wings!!

Japan has so many hystorical and beautiful temples

and close by temples, we can find so many CUTE souvenirs , love CUTE, everything super CUTE!!

and MORE...

in Tokyo we got to see Tokyo city view from above !

There're MILLIONS of drinks machine like these in Japan

We ate lots of RAMEN and UDON ! yes.. Noodle family

but yet... this Green Tea parfait still my Favorite among all

one of highlight of my trip .. trying the ONSEN , hot spring bath :D

and viewing Mount Fuji from Kawaguchiko lake

We almost didnt get a chance to see the Mount Fuji because it was raining all morning. but finally YAY！！！

 I also had to share this one

all toilets in Japan is really HI-TECH!

Those are some photos i would really love to share with you. Japan is not only a beautiful country with rich culture, but the people are super nice too. Would love to go back there for another trip if we had another chance ^^ gotta save though (because everything in Japan is pricy)

Hi everyone

how is your Christmas preparation ?

i've seen some of my facebook friends uploading their christmas tree and decor at home, all looks so beautiful. i kind of miss those feeling, celebrating, decorating on christmas season.
I don't have any christmas tree at home, :-( so i listen to christmas jingles from my mp3 player instead, just to make myself embrace the festive moment, add some christmas-y ambience at home. :D I am also starting to make some Christmas cards i plan to send sooon this week!  *rolling up sleeves*

It's a week of thanks at Penny Black blog this week, i made thank you tags, and made a couple of them.

I made these using white cardstock. I LOVEEE this cute hedgie stamp, its called Santa’s Hat. as for background, i stamped The THANKS from Sentiments set repeatedly. then use ribbon and twine as finishing touch.

Thank you so much for visiting my blog ^^

*ps. for those who read my previous post, my husband n i did really had a chocolate dessert during weekend,yay*

Guess Hoo likes some chocolate ?

My husband ! and my brother !

yes, they love chocolate so much, in fact,most of time they only order cocoa, chocolate drinks , eat chocolate bread and ice cream ... sometimes with chocolate chips, but no other flavor.
But for my husband, he's not a kind of person who celebrate valentine's. that's why i give chocolate to him anytime, no special occasion :-D

Here's some valentine's project i made using new valentine's stamp :

I personally really love this owls stamps

Easy-DIY clippers for your photos, just ink, stamp, cut and adhere to wooden clippers

Clip it on the photo hanging / wire

 Supplies : Penny Black Guess Hoo and Love Birds stamps. and Madison papers

 

AHA! here's a special chocolate wrapped with love

 Supplies : Penny Black Lots of Love and Loads of Love stamps. and Madison papers

and a Valentine's card

An easy and simple project

Here i am, still busy with wedding preparation :) if you're looking for my Wedding theme mini challenge click HERE or just scroll down. You still have more time to submit your creation.

I wanna share what i have done today, i did a lil bit of crafting after lunch. As i have shared before, that i will be moving to Thailand, i actually have packed most of my crafting tools and supplies, what i have left on my desk are copics, distress inkpads, and a couple of stamps. With these, i did an easy alter on my wedding invitation envelopes.

Here's the look of my messy crafting desk 

 My fiance brought 25 wedding invitations from Thailand for my family and friends in Indonesia.

Here's the look of my invitation, so simple. they smells really good actually. and seeing the plain ivory color of the envelopes makes me want to do a lil bit of altering on them.

 

Hmmm... Let's do some stampin on this envelope !

Oh ya, i don't show you what's written inside the invitation because i don't have any idea how to read those just yet ^^ I can't read Thai letters yet..but what's so cool about it, it's said that we're getting married in year 2555! yes, this year is year 2555! :-D

 

I stamp Mimi's Big Day using rich brown ink on the envelope

Stamp a lot more and let them dry

Color some parts of the image with soft copic colors

Put the guest name sticker on the right, draw on it and make a bow out of pink twine

I am so so happy to see Mimi on my wedding invitation envelopes ! and now..these invitations are ready to be delivered to friends and family ^^

Thank you for visiting and viewing my simple project today.
