Holly, Jolly Xmas - Wishlist

Share

Christmas is just right around the corner. The joyful feeling of the atmosphere -- from the white snow falling, the music, city lights, the smell and taste, togetherness, warmth of people's smiles, children laughing... are the reasons why it is the best holiday season of the year. But keep in mind and remember that it is the celebration of the birth of Christ, our Lord.

Sometimes people think of Christmas only as an event of giving and receiving gifts. We all shouldn't view that as the number one thing of why we celebrate it -- to get the gifts. Don't get me wrong, it is an exciting feeling when I get presents! Especially the joy and surprise when opening each one. But what really matters is the feeling of being with family and friends close to you -- To spend those special moments together... Doesn't it warm you up??? It's the reason why I LOVE Christmas. Of course, I love the gifts too! I don't expect it, but it's the thought that counts! :)

I made a Wishlist of what I've been wanting to own!

Giftcards are welcome too...
Forever 21, Victoria's Secret, Clinique, Sephora, Express, Abercrombie & Fitch, Charlotte Russe, Amazon, Bath & Body Works

Besides all of these materialistic things, I am thankful whether or not people decide to give. What matters is that they'll still be in my heart and thought. I am thankful for the people in my life. The family who is always there in times of trouble and the friends to share things with, rely on, lean on, to laugh with, be sad with, who stick around when a tough spot comes around to help get through it, and always there no matter the circumstance. Christmas is all about sharing the moments, forgive, and give thanks! It's not only on Thanksgiving! :)

"JWU Thank You" Book Cover

Share

My friend, Amie asked me to design a "Thank You Book" Cover for the kids in her church - JWU Ministry. She asked if I could make something cute and simple, but I decided to do a full-on-all-out design. When I design, I can't seem to put only half of my effort -- I tend to go all the way because I like to have fun with it. The very first thing that came to my head was "Tree" -- because the Tree has many symbolism and meaning in a Christian perspective, representing Life, Eternity, Beauty, Strength, Growth, and so on... no one would be able to miss that because the word, "tree" is mentioned many times in the Bible. And of course, the birds -- illustrate mankind. All in all, the image represents a happy, thankful life -- in a cute way -- for the kids :).
