Project 365/11: Happy to be Free Card

Sharing with you one of Haribon Foundation's fund raising items, the Happy to be Free Card. This is an all occasion card as it is blank in the inside. You may use it for whatever purpose or message you would want to impart.

This card is one of the 2 Happy to be Free Card designs Haribon has. Both cards' designs are a collage of the art works of children Haribon members.

Every once in a while Haribon organize an activity for its members. A separate art workshop was organized for its children members. One of the activities was for them to create an artwork out of the available colored paper cut-outs with the theme Happy to be Free, thus the title of the card. These 4 designs were chosen randomly by selected adult members and employees of Haribon. By the way, the octopus design is of my niece Gayle Mangila, who was just 4 years old when she did the design.

Production of the cards was made through the efforts of the ANEST Project funded by the Royal Netherlands Embassy in 2005. The card costs $.25, proceed of the sales goes to other advocacy projects of Haribon Foundation.

Project 365/10; RT#2: Autumn

I do cross stitches, in fact I love doing it. It's more than a hobby to me. It was introduced to me by my best friend in college, and immediately I fell in love with it. Since then I've been doing different designs, some I was able to sell to office mates and friend.

In fact, there's so many finished products in my storage that hasn't been framed yet. One of it is entitled Autumn, 1 of the Four Season series, the others are Winter, Summer and Spring.

Santa Claus collection; Ruby Tuesday #1

I've seriously started collecting Santa Claus figures/items when our son Leon joined the family, to remind us of how great the Lord is in giving gifts we deserve.

Santa in a sleigh, got this in 2007.
Battery operated, sings and moves around

2 Santas hanging on a rope, 2008 (paper mache')
another paper mache' Santa on a parachute, 2009
Christmas stockings with Santa Bear, 2010

wondering why the 2 paper mache' Santas are in the house? It's quite impractical to put them outdoors because of the unpredictable weather patterns here in the Philippines. It's rains every once in a while in December! It's been like this for 2 years now lol!

but I've had a few collections from way before....

A Santa wall decor, hanging on our kitchen partition

A Santa Claus pillow which you can find in our room

A Santa Claus figurine, I got as a gift way back in the 90's
and a Santa Claus candle holder which I received in 2006

Santa Claus placemat, I bought intentionally for the holiday season during the 90's
and candy dish, another gift from a colleague in 2003

my first post on Ruby Tuesday for 2011, here's more...

kraft world

Part of organizing my site is creating kraft world.

Kraft world is where I will share with you my handicrafts, the things I personally do. It'll be here where I will share as well as develop my learning about various crafts.

Handicrafts is one of the things I might do (together with blogging of course!) in case I become a full time work at home wife and mom.

To begin with I love shabby chic and I'm into recycling.
