Stationery for Eid

today has been nothing short of awesome. no i'm not talking about F1. the action, for me at least was in Motegi! thanks Vale for a great birthday present ; )

anyhow, today seemed like a big race for me. had many pit stops around pasir ris and tampines before coming home to complete the baking and send out greeting cards. i woke up at 9am (wow!) to bake the first batch of cookies, took a 1hr 'break' by watching Motegi and then out of the house to collect stuff. i'm pretty exhausted for sure! but the coming week is short - i'll be working for 1.5days only =) then hopefully a kick ass celebration for 5 days before returning to work where i'd be serving my last week as an intern.

okay so like previous years i made my own Raya Cards but unlike previous years, it's not too slack!

i designed these below. its not a typical Raya Card but more like Raya themed note cards for you to write your personal message and wishes. i think social stationery should be as personal as possible so i decided not to include the standard "Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Maaf Zahir & Batin". wouldn't people be tempted to just write "dear whoever, from me?" meaningless right?! therefore, a blank space would persuade the sender to include something more personal i feel.

it's printed on 250gsm hammered paper, comes in different shades of green - from dark to lime to mint. 10cm by 15 cm in size and nicely fits into a C6 envelope.

no i'm not selling it - so dear recipients, feel special for having received them! HAHA! next year perhaps =)


my handwriting may have spoilt the whole card. sorry. hahaha.
