1st Blogiversary

Today, JajaKraf.Com turns 1!

It’s been a year since my very first post. It’s been  such an enjoyful year and I got to know so many great people who yet I consider to be friends. I owe so much to you for visiting, reading, commenting and linking to. It really means a lot to me.

I promise there’ll be a giveaway for this. Right now, I’ve been busy for so much hari raya preparations. But sooner or later, I promise there would be a JajaKraf’s 1st blogiversary giveaway and it would be fun.

Thank you a million, viewers, my friends!

What about 28?

28? What about it? It’s just a number! But now it’s not only just a number, it’s me that turned 28 today. Happy birthday me!!! How time flies… 1stly, I want to show my birthday gift from my hubby. A t-shirt!

It’s not just only an ordinary t-shirt for me , it’s JajaKraf’s custom t-shirt! Really surprised of it. Now let’s see even up close…

See? My header’s tag line (Crafting… the expression of myself), my trademark (JajaKraf.Com) and my url (www.jajakraf.com) had engraved on it, with my favorite font indeed, and I love the color as well. Oh, how happy I’am! I will gazette it as JajaKraf’s official attire then. Thanks abang.. love you! Muah! Muah!

Ok, enough about that. Now, go to my main point. On this day, I want to give away something as my gratitude to God for another number of age He gave me. It’s not much, it’s just this…

Myke totebag! Also, I made a flower brooch from the same fabric for the complement.

I only need your comment about which one of my creation that you like the most. My Gallery stores all the products. Please pick 1 and talk anything about it. I rather for a critics if it could help to improve JajaKraf’s performance in the next. Actually, my reason is just to know how my craft’s doing so far, that’s all. And it would really appreciated if you post about this entry on your blog that linked back here, and I’ll entered your name twicely for that. I’ll pick and announce the winner on this coming Friday (20.03.2009). Only 5 days to go!

Simplest doorgift

Since I didn’t make any craft/sewing project these past 2 days (I need rest), let me show you some of the pictures taken during the baby shower of my lil’ Sufi.

Changing of plan; I made the take away paperbag instead of the octagon box I was planned at the 1st place (I just can’t made it on time!). Got the name from a bun/burger paperbag, the simplest and easiest gift packaging I’ve ever made for doorgift. Inside it carried this sweet handkerchief, some snacks, candies and chocolates.

This is the 50th post and a giveaway!!!

**THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED. THANK YOU FOR PLAYING WITH JAJAKRAF!***

So this is it, a giveaway on my ‘golden jubilee’ post. Before that, I would like to thanks to all of you who keep visiting me; to the silent viewers, to the commentators, my friends and to whoever you are. Who’s JajaKraf without you guys! Hence, I want to give away somethings from my collection…

I was near to give up with this shirt shape box once it started but yet I really satisfied in the final, seemed like I won’t let it go. Not so sure if I’m willing to make another one, quite difficult I must say.

Inside the box will be:-

1. 8mm round light rose AB Swarovski crystal tied with 14 carats gold filled wire

2. Cream color hanging heart

3. Pink color hanging heart

4. Orchid brooch

5. Orchid hair clip (choose your own word, maximum 5 letters)

6. 5 Ribbon flowers

7. 10 clippers (5 dolphins & 5 butterflies)

8. Handkerchief

9. My mini wishing stars (Didn’t count it, but quite a lot)

10. 20 pink felt flowers

11. Ribbon keychain

12. 60 mixed color buttons

13. Flower brooch (last minute added)

…and a Happy New Year 2009!!!

When the clock strikes twelve tonight, people all over the world cheer and wish each other a very Happy New Year. For some, this event is no more than a change of a calendar. But for me, the New Year symbolizes the beginning of a better tomorrow. I look forward to a good year ahead, a thousand happiness and better future with my family.

Happiness deep down within
Serenity with each sunrise
Success in each facet of your life
Family beside you
Close and caring friends
Health, inside you.

Happy New Year 2009 to the world!

*Will go back to my hubby’s kampung once again to celebrate this new year!

Merry Christmas!!!

Christmas is just around the corner. I am celebrating Christmas too..on my family-in-law side. Tomorrow we will go back to hubby’s kampung at Papar and would stay there about 3 days. As usual, every Christmas we will make a barbecue and karaoke on the Christmas Eve, and else taking family photos, gift changing and makan-makan. What a splendid moments when all family members gathered and enjoyed together!

Here’s wishing you all the joys of the season. Wish you and your family a Merry Christmas! May this festival be so special, brings abundant joy and happiness in your life and be surrounded by loved ones throughout!

**edit: Merry Christmas from my family to yours (guess which one is me?..)**

Welcome home to myself!!

Assalamualaikum and hi there… Finally I have a suitable and relax time to sit in front my pc and update this web site. It’s good to be back in my home page. Sorry for the delay since my last entry. Actually, I’m still in the mood of Hari Raya and holiday but already started go to the office on last Monday. My 10 days off really was utilized with family’s Eidul Fitri celebration and gathering, and what I really like the most was invited relatives and friends to our first time open house ever. Really happening and satisfying!!

Hence, I present my latest idea of gift packaging. Actually I have done the sample before Raya together with the Heart Shape Box and Heart Shape Paper Bag but this is the right time to show you the Cone Shape Box, Flower Puff Box and Triangle Puff Box in My Gallery as well. I tell you what, I’ve learn these unique shape boxes from a friend who have same hobby and interests, and I just improved the appearances to be like that!

Oya, I would like to congratulate my hubby for having his own Nikon D80 digital SLR camera, a few days before Raya (now it seems like that camera is his 3rd wife, after me and his car!) But I’m happy for him anyway as his dream came true. Just imagine how he really admires that thing; the pictures of the camera are affix on the wall and door at our home, and he already bought some of that camera’s accessories such as lens, tripod, flash, UV protector (??), lens protector, blah blah from the eBay long before he truly got the camera! What I can say is, he’s crazy of his new passion (after Tae Kwon Do) and until now he still waits for some other gadgets to come! Whatever la cinta but thanks for the over lock machine you bought me…

Before leave, I want to show you these…

Happy fasting, Selamat berpuasa!!!

Assalamualaikum wtb…

Its been a year and now Ramadhan is coming!!! A month of seeking forgiveness, seek for demolishing all sins that had been made and a month of improving the worship to Allah SWT. It is a kind of test to our faith, for us to feel the hunger for a month but nothing compared to those who have to hunger daily in their life. We have to appreciate for what Allah have given us and must have faith of what we are doing. For me personally, I pray for stay strong and manage to fast though I’m almost 6 months of pregnancies.

Also, I would like to wish all Muslims Happy Fasting, Selamat Berpuasa in this Holy month of Ramadhan Al-Mubarak 1429 Hijrah. Be strong, keep your faith always! Hopefully that this Ramadhan would bring all the good things, more meaningful, blissful and blessed! To all JajaKraf.Com visitors, thank you for visiting me all these while. To tell you, I got something to show you later on regarding to my new products, so please wait because more crafts will come!

May Allah bless all of us, amin!
