My tree

12122007561-001

That’s my newspaper tree that i created from scratch last night. With help mostly from jen and some others.. Who are cursing me while helping me. Hee.

Cursing because i came up with the “brilliant” idea of making a tree with newspaper randomly during the brainstorming session we had last week. Brainstorming for ideas for the inter-department christmas decor competition within the company. I had loads to do, the brainstorming session was getting a little lengthy and i wanted it to end quick.. So newspaper came out of my mouth. And that too turned out to be my task because no one could visualize how it could be done.

=( and shucks. Jen and me were brainstorming hard how to put up a tree in newspaper too, and after some initial struggling.. That’s what we managed to construct. And gawd, was it tedious thinking of the layering process, the innovation to keep the sticks sticking out straight and finally, how it form the cone shape right at the end. Though it took a lot of time, sweat, cuts on my hands and spoiled my new dress because i was stretching it too much..

I’m satisfied. Never mind even though there were some that mentioned it’s ugly. Never mind that it wasn’t as tall as i expected it to be.. At least i managed to put a random idea into results.

You must be thinking why is there a need to go through all this? Because, one of the criteria for the competition is innovation on using recycled materials. That’s why.

And guess what? The theme of the competition is Wonderland.. And my section decided that a forest looking decor with mushrooms, toads, fairies will do a magical job. And yes.. Forest commands a lot of trees.. So i’m gonna faint. Haha.

Actually, i made another type of tree with my posms from the past campaigns to complement the tree. Will post it in another post later..

Hi there! Thanks for popping by. I'm Cherie, a ftwm (full-time working mum) to 3 lovely kids (2 boys & a princess) and my motto in life is to BE HAPPY. Sure, life isn't all that smooth but it's the mentality that counts, no? This blog documents my life. Or rather, snippets of my life that has passed me by. I love capturing life memories in the blog and being able to read back and laugh at myself (or anyone). I love to eat (A LOT), travel and paint my own nails so the blog is mostly about that. Is that considered lifestyle? Of cos, the family is also very much an integral part of me so there would be loads of memories about the husband and my kids - Jerry (9yo), Jerome (7yo) and Leia (2.5yo) and everyone else that's close to me. I like documenting the kids' milestones, their growing up years, their achievements (and sometimes, mine), and my struggles and battles with motherhood. It sure ain't easy. I love seeking out good food and travelling, is trigger-happy, love new gadgets, love exploring new places and strives to live life to the fullest. I aspire to travel the world as much as I can, to soak in the different sights across the various continents and visit all the Disneylands in the world (almost there!). Have fun reading and do drop me a comment to say hi! Love, Cherie Lim Find me on Instagram.
