DIY Christmas cards and party favors!

I'm back! yes drum rollllllllll. So from now on I will be updating this blog every Thursday night!

It is my best friend's birthday party this weekend and I decided to make some party favors! We are eating at a restaurant(pretty late) and heading to a bar afterwards so I bought a pack of tiny Smirnoff bottles in different flavors and tried this...
 I cut a rectangular piece of tissue paper vertically into 4 equal pieces then folded it in that shape then pulled the paper up and rolled it.. and I did that with the green first and then the red.

 And 5 minutes after Y & I discuss how Yuna is so smart and doesn't touch things she's not supposed to...
It was too tempting.. haha

I also make Christmas cards every year. Last year, I had 20+ people on my list and got overwhelmed/lazy and ended up making two.. After Christmas shopping and planning my Christmas party I was pretty tired.
Here's one from last year
It's a pop-up angel!

This year... I will attempt to make 2 a day.. making cards is a tedious process and takes a lot of time and energy. I made one tonight and decided it was enough.
I plan to write Merry Christmas in the red box.

 Pens, ribbons, glitter, paper punchers, and card papers.


Something funny from a fellow blogger( happy monsters tumblr).

I think I did this all throughout college...  I eventually accepted myself for who I was and didn't even try to do anything on Friday or Saturday. I would just calmly tell myself "The Time has come.." Monday 4am..

Another blogger Gemma Correll does drawings and they are so cute and funny

So... breaking news.. I cut my hair into a bob.. it is long in the front and short in the back..
The length in the back is about the length of the shortest part of my hair in the front. AND my hair is purplish reddish brown... I went in for a trim and I'm not sure how I left with this hair. I promised my hair dresser that I would cut my hair really short for 3 years, so I think I felt like it was about time..

Yes,  gather yourselves, people... You and I will get used to this.. hopefully.

and.. I think your parenting style becomes obvious when you have a puppy. When Yuna tries to climb on the bed Yusuke gently lifts her arms up and puts her down and says "Yuna, go down.. go down.. no.." When I see Yuna walking into the kitchen I GROAR " OUT NOW!!!!" really loud and stomp my feet. and she runs away. So yes.. I am definitely the strict mommy and he is the nice daddy.

So, tomorrow I need to plan my Christmas party. I bought a holiday cook book from B&N so I will go through the book, pick out about 5-6 dishes, make a grocery list, go grocery shopping, clean, plan etc.  and I will get yelled at this year once again from the boys about a cock fest.

Well, hope you enjoyed this post and have a good night/day!
