Christmas Tree

I really want to have a Christmas tree at home! I still remember the good time of decorating Christmas tree in my childhood. However, our place is too small for a full size Christmas tree, so we go for a 12 inches tree instead of a 12 feet one =D


Material 1: a plain Christmas tree



Material 2: thread



Material 3: Crystal beads and pearl




Step 1: thread the beads and tie a knot




Step 2: hang the beads on the tree


Step 3: place a star on the top of the tree


DONE!



噢~ 聖誕節托它歸家,放o係廳度幾靚架!

This is our first Christmas tree! I had good time decorating it with my family. Although it is a small one, but the love is big.

Christmas Gifts

Christmas is around the corner! Many of us are busy with buying Christmas gifts, decorating our home, or planning Christmas parties.

During this meaningful season, do we still remember the only purpose of Christmas? It commemorates that God sent a precious gift to us - Jesus!

While I received this love, I think I should pass it on. There are so many people on the other side of the world don't have a chance to celebrate Christmas, receiving gifts, nor joining party. They don't even know if they can survive in the next minute.


"Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is an international medical humanitarian organization created by doctors and journalists in France in 1971. Today, MSF provides aid in nearly 60 countries to people whose survival is threatened by violence, neglect, or catastrophe, primarily due to armed conflict, epidemics, malnutrition, exclusion from health care, or natural disasters. MSF provides independent, impartial assistance to those most in need. MSF reserves the right to speak out to bring attention to neglected crises, to challenge inadequacies or abuse of the aid system, and to advocate for improved medical treatments and protocols" - quoted from MSF official website (http://www.doctorswithoutborders.org/aboutus/?ref=main-menu)

87% of the donation has been spent on program service, 12% of the donation has been spent on fundraising, and only 1% was spent on management. Most donation will go to the people in need!

When we are buying gifts for our family and friends, why don't we also make a gift to the people in need. Let's do something meaningful in this meaningful season!! Click here to help!

Ikea

There are so many good deals offered by Ikea.

http://info.ikea-usa.com/sale/

Really want to get the IDBYN champagne flute although I don't drink but it should be pretty nice if drinking apple cider with them =p

The Poang armchair with alme cushion is in my wish list too. It is so comfortable. I have wanted it for a long time since the first time I sat on it. However, my place it too small to fit this chair =(

Detolf glass door cabinet is in my top of my wish list!! It totally matches my makeup studio!! I really want it and NEED it.

I guess I would definitely buy the Bursta dining table if i have a house. Maybe, we can buy it now and open it until we get a house?! =p
