Hand-Stitched Journal Workshop @Civil Service College

I had a fun time with 5 lovely ladies @Civil Service College yesterday morning. They are put in-charged of coaching their colleagues in making something using primarily recycled materials. So my job there was to teach them how to conduct this workshop to all their 50-60 other colleagues :) They were all very sporting & fun-loving. We all had an enjoyable morning...
The very talented Sueann even whipped up a poem especially for me within minutes!
"Betsy's very nice
She taught me a new vice
Measuring, cutting,
Threading, wearing,
With a smile on a face
And a patient grace.
Thanks again, Betsy,
from Knotty Bicsie!"

"It's been a fun & interesting session... learning how to put together things we tend to just throw! TQ, Betsy..." - Lynette, 21st Jan 2010.

"Dear Betsy, this is a day I travel back in time some years back to my Home Econs Class. The session has been fun!" - Pauline Ma, 21st Jan 2010.

"Betsy, thank you for the interesting handicraft session. It's fun to make and easy to do." - Pauline Teo, 21st Jan 2010.

"Dear Betsy, thanks for the fun & enriching session. I really enjoyed it!" - Ellen, 21st Jan 2010.

Special thanks to Ellen, who's patiently made all the necessary arrangement, for this fruitful workshop!
Ladies, here's wishing u a successful IPAM day on 19th Feb! All the best! :)

KBCC #20 - X'mas Gathering

We had a fun-filled X'mas gathering on Boxing Day. We even had 3 special guests - EeWei & Darcy, all the way from Edmonton; plus Mummy Jullie & Baby Joel! ;)
Since our gathering was on Boxing Day, a number of our "regulars" were not able to join us coz of family parties. Nevertheless, we still had a nice cosy potluck. :) We had our X'mas feast over a video conference with our crafting friend, EeWei, who is all the way in Edmonton, enjoying her white X'mas. EeWei was having super while we were having our early dinner. It really felt like we were feasting at the same table! Magic of technology... :)
After dinner, we had a movie screening of my favourite Animation - Up. Everyone totally enjoyed the show too :) Then we had a little game of Bingo & here are the 4 lucky winners...
Finally we had our gift exchange & everyone had a fun time wrapping our presents...
