This is where I live

Maybe you would be interested to know where I live, the city of buildings, Hong Kong.

Here it is.






I can barely breathe. Totally suffocating!!

The city for buildings, but not human. Someday, the buildings will turn into living robot and kill all the human. I mean it.

I just start penpaling at the end of last year. The first Pen Pal, Sofia, found me from the Pen Pal Project by indiefixx. And She is E-N-G-A-G-E-D!

So I decide to make her something special. Something that she could write on. Photoshop is very very new to me and thanks to the free tutorial by Pugly Pixel I have acquire some skills that sufficient for me to make the following stationery! Ok, I declare that I am now photoshop-holic. Any dose that could cure my disease?





The marriage register I found via The Graphic Fairy blog and the sillohette by the Vintage Moth. Two great blogs that has tons of vintage and contemporary Clip Art. I think this may serve as a register list or a piece of paper that with the Love Vow on it! I printed it out on a heavy weight paper and going to send them to Sweden!

The Prugly Pixel not only has the sweetest and useful of tutorial, but also a lot of lovely image to download! I got the lined paper just from the Prugly Pixel freebie package! And I merge it into the wallpaper offered by the Graphic Fairy. Oh, don't you just want to write on that ? Yup, I am going to write on this paper I just made and send them over to Sweden!

Happy Travelling!

Postally yours,
Vicky

Aren't they gorgeous? I truly believe it's always a blessing to have the ability to give. Elizabeth is absolutely blessed. She run an amazing and generous project on her blog call The Postcard Project. Just drop her a line and the kindest postcard will arrive in your mail-box. Not a swap, Not commercial activities, just pure kindness to send you a postcard. To make your day.

It's Elizabeth who inspire me of the Envie adoption project. Of course, my silly project have nothing that could compare to hers. Not only you could pick your theme of postcard, Elizabeth even decorate the postcard beautifully. Drawing of the Japanese style animated girl is her strength. Do check out how delicate and beautiful they are!!

In April this year, I send her an email and suggesting we could do a trade. She send me one, and I send her one. Three months later, today, I open my mail box and Voila, the second postcard from Elizabeth! I never expected the second one to come around! The 20's Empire State postcard from the U.S., I just Love Love Love it!

I do believe, truly believe, Love is all around!

Writing letter is ROCK ~!

About a month ago, I worte a letter to The.Handwrittern.Letter.Project. The project invite people (need Not to be a designer, which I am not.. totally. )to send their own designed letter-head writtern letter. And I have been designing my plane letter head for quite sometime. So I decide to send to the Project any way. I got nothing to lose, right?

I don't think I would have got any reply. It's because the project haven't been update for quite a while. I wrote to the project anyways.


And today, Mr. Oldham reply my mail~! Oh Yeah. The host of the T.H.L.P is actually a graphic designer. Surprisingly, the mail he sent me without any graphic. But with a lovely opening line~!




Oh.. Everything like he said, lovingly penned to me.

It's ROCK to write letter ! Yeah~~~ Go write a letter!

Trifle thing about my father

I want to post about my mail. Unfortunately, my dear card reader is dead. My laptop computer with implanted card reader also unable to read my memory card from my camera.

I don't want anyone to think that I am dead or something. So I decided to post something.

My dad is very smart in a cunning way. So here is a little story about me and him happened this afternoon.

JustSomethingIMade


Just something I made is generous and amazing blog that provide tons of tutorial from web design to jewelery making. The latest post is about how to make penny pendant. And I REALLY want to make it.

So, I ask my dad,

Can you drill a tiny little hole in this 50 cent coin?

He answers,

No. It need special equipment. What are you drilling it for?

I want to make a pendant. And I see people doing it in the U.S.

If it turn into a pedant, it must be ugly. And Don't break my drill. Don't even try to do that when I'm not at home.

And 5 second later,

He came to me silently, and handed me a Japanese 50 Yen coin - With a huge hole in the middle.



I said, it saves a lot of trouble. Except I want a gold one.
