Hello dear bloggers,

Here is a card made after a looooooong while. Getting ready more thank you cards to donate/sell. I have to confess, I LOVE making thank you cards. It is like saying thank you to all of creation and all the many, many blessings we enjoy.

Card making booth at the SCWO Night Market - A night to remember

 Hello lovely bloggers,

It has been a long time. Here are pictures of the card making booth I hosted for the Singapore Council of Women's Organizations (SCWO) at their first ever night market on the 19th and 20th of October, 2022. 

As I may have shared in my earlier posts, I have been fundraising, donating and doing mindfulness and card making workshops for the ladies at the shelter in the past. This shelter is run by the SCWO. It was pure delight to be able to participate in the market and I enjoyed it thoroughly. 

The card making table 

     One of the cards made by the volunteer who was assisting me. She made this as for her parents.

     Lily, the volunteer posing with her creation.

                         Made by a four year old and his enthusiastic dad.

                         Made by a six year old girl.

 

                         Made by a volunteer at the booth for her husband. The image says 

                         TRUE LOVE and came all the way from the UK from a blogger buddy 

                         called Sandra.

                         Put together by an 11-12 year old girl.

     Made by Lorraine, the Deputy Director of SCWO, for her hubby who loves cats.

                         Made by a seven year old girl. The dragon fly and teddy images are kind courtesy Sandra                             from the UK.

     Lorraine and I trying to put the cat card together along with a 10 year old and her sister.

     Made by a 10 year old along with help from me.

                      Made by the same 10 year old with guidance from me. The flower image was sent by another sweet blogger called Merry.

I am so happy that the card making booth was a big success and I cannot wait to do more such. Indeed a therapeutic activity.

Catch you sooner than last time,

Monica 

 

Donation of cards plus talk on mental health to 50 students

Hello dear bloggers,

I wish you all a very happy and healthy 2022. Here are some pictures of the cards I have been making for the SCWO - Singapore Council of Women's Organizations where I have been donating proceeds from my meditation/wellness workshops. I was lucky enough to conduct a Christmas art activity for the residents of the shelter (run by SCWO) for Christmas on the 23rd of December, 2021. I cannot post pictures here due to reasons of privacy. 

I was also given a chance to host a talk/workshop on Mental Well being for 50 teenage kids of an international school through the Rotary Club which was most fulfilling for me. The teenagers seemed quite happy with what I shared.

Down below are the cards for the SCWO as well as LCCS (Lutheran Community Care Services) for which I am an ambassador for their campaign against sexual violence. I made 16 cards for SCWO and 25 for LCCS and it was fun.

I will participate in the following challenges:
