Is yours broken?

At home before going out...

Me: titi, come and put on your underwear.

JT: but i don't want to wear underwear today. 

Me: you must. otherwise, when you go to sheeshee, and you accidentally zip yr kukubird, then we will have a problem. Need to go to the hospital and cut....the zip. Very painful wan you know when your kkb got zipped up?

JT: oh... is it because you also zipped your kukubird last time and then your kkb got broken, then you become a girl. Right? Is your kkb broken mami? Last time you also have kkb wan right? But broken edi. So you become girl!

ME: O.o

DIY corrugated Poster Table Standee

The corrugated leaflet standee that I made earlier only used a small portion of the corrugated paper. Lately, I'm so stressed with my design work and I wanted to release stress. And so I drew and cut again and I did this.

Ahhhh definitely feel much better after crafting something. Our very own Price List Standee (poster standee).

Before this, we just used some bottles and stick them with our price list and promo poster.

( Pic from Green Sentral: bottom right next to the yellow poster)

Super messy, I know. Cos we're only a month old and we're still figuring out how to best display the stuff around.

So with the same piece of corrugated box paper we used earlier, I measured and cut out the die-cut and made the price standee.

However, this need double layer of corrugated paper and some glue.

And I made a few more as standbys for our upcoming promotion.

And they stand side by side with my leaflet standee.

Cheap, Good and Fit perfectly into our concept.

Just wondering if anyone wants the template for the Leaflet Display Standee and The poster standee? Leave a comment  here and I might come out with something for ya ;)

DIY leaflet standee

Went to popular bookstore to look for an acrylic standee for our leaflet and it was rm12.90. It's not expensive but I thought of the roots of our mission and it is to minimize the usage of plastic. So I went back to the shop and saw that my sis had collected some corrugated paper but she had no idea what to use it for (yet). Voila! Just what I need!

So I quickly measured the leaflet, drafted a die-cut, then draw and cut according to the measurement.

Maybe I've designed too many boxes, the standee folded and locked perfectly without any glue or tape.

I'm happy with the outcome and the fact that I didn't buy the acrylic standee.

See our tagline? Save mother earth :)

A pressie for him

On the last day of school, Jayden's teacher asked my son to tell me something in school. And he said "Mami, my teacher said I have 4 100%. I got 100% for all my exam paper. And I am no.1 in my class!". Of course I am happy but then suddenly I thought of last year's exam, I got worried. The same, he manage to get no1. in the first sem but 5th in the 2nd sem and he was devastated! So I told him "Good Job Babe! But, you must continue to work hard okay? Cannot be like last time ah...." He smiled and nodded.

After that I drove him to the spot where I am supposed to meet up with the agency that had called me earlier to collect our very own Hot Wheels Wall Track set. Hehe So Excited! Cos you know why.. Initially I wanted to buy this set and bring it over for Mott's kids. But since I was so caught up with work before that, I didn't have any chance to buy anything. Before I flew off, I checked my email and I received an email about this. I'm one of the selected blogger to receive this set absolutely free! *lol*

And best is.. I got it on the same day my son told me that he got no.1 in class. A pressie for him without me buying him one. Ngek Ngek Ngek!

After lunch we drove to my shop and I manage to set it up in like 20 mins. It was so easy with the wall template but the kids were fighting to pass me the parts, that's why it took me 20 long minutes. :S

The kids and the wall track before they trash the set up :D

And I have a babysitter for the day. YAY! And they played for hours after that.

I just sat there and look at them play while I took care of my shop and also design at the same time. And I noticed that they're actually telling a story while playing with the wall track. Ah what an imagination! Actually I just love to see how they play and what creative nonsense they can come out with. Sometimes its about Thomas crashing into stuff or don't know who, doing what, going where. So cute. No worries, unlike us adults.

Surprisingly even many rounds of playing (very roughly) with the track set, it's still very sturdy. You know boys (especially mine) they are just so ganas. I think this set will last quite long before it goes into pcs. haha

I *heart* Elmo!

I have a collection of Elmos and this is my fav:)

Ah yes, a big one as big as JT. Given to me by my husband when we're dating many years ago.

Recently when I visited Paradigm mall, I saw a shop selling Elmo shoes. So cute!!

So I went in Polliwalks and checked out the shoes.

Indeed very cute and solid. They even have cookie monster too. Hehe he's another cute fella. Love the ooogly eyes Oo

I asked them if they have another outlet somewhere cos I saw Brenda selling her 2nd hand polliewalks shoes before but I know she bought it from overseas. They told me that they only have one outlet in whole Malaysia and it's only in Paradigm Mall. Wah so exclusive!

They have a wide range of collections and the price is abt rm129 per pair for the normal ones and rm149 for Elmo and Cookie Monster.

And these are their limited edition polliwalks.

Too bad my kids are into Thomas and Cars and not Elmo. And I cannot fit into the biggest size. Otherwise I'll get it for myself :p

P/S: this is not a paid post. I just wanna share this cos I love Elmo :)
