Gifts from Carol- New logo & cake box templates

I am pleased and am so lucky to know Carol since March or April. I like her and enjoy reading her posts because it’s interesting to know and learn different tricks of Photoshop from her. She is adorable and so kind to share with people.

In July, we discussed about swap gifts.She knows I love to make packages and what I received from her is awesome cake box templates and new versions of logo.

I have thought of new logo for a long time for my blog, some printable material for my miniatures and maybe my “future website”. I am so lucky to have Carol design for me. She applies my favorite elements, bird and lace to alphabet "O" of Oiseau. We discussed dozens of times and my logo comes out perfectly!

She also designs sevral different versions for me; I am thinking to apply these logos to the packages and labels in the coming projects!


I remember some friends noticed the pretty cake boxes going with “Charlotte de macarons aux fruits de la passion” when I post in July. Yeah, it’s also Carol who makes my request come true.



Carol is a very talented graphic designer and is so generous to people. I do appreciate her valuable help!

Do visit her blog True2scale---you will find many treasures and useful information there!

Gifts for Ira- Italian salami & Parma Ham

A very quick update since July!
We had some guests from Taiwan and Singapore two weeks ago and last week I decided to travel in a tearing hurry to Bordeaux, which is a port city on the Garonne River in southwest France cause my husband left again for US for 10 days.




So these three days I was busy some cute gift for Ira @ Merry Jingle Craft. Ira told me she was fond of Itlian food and I'd love to make some salamis and dry ham for her Toscana House.


It was so fun to make the meat. After I finished the Parma Ham and left them on the messy table, my husband and me look to each other and grinned. They come out so cute and this makes me more confident to make different food in the future.


Dearest Ira, hope you will also laugh when you see them in person!

It's time to cook again! I'd love to have more vegetable now cause I have ever had too much mini meat these days. ^_<>
