Me, myself and Joyful Time design gift set

December is coming already and I feel like I haven't done anything significant yet. This year has been almost good for me. I mean it started pretty good but then I found that things that I could handle easily in the past became irritating at present. It makes me want to pause my life and sit down and really look into my future. Is this really what I want to do or is it just something to do for a living?

Money is important. It feels good to look at increasing numbers in your bank account but it's not the most important thing in the end when you don't feel good about what you are doing. Things didn't go well and I decided to give myself a rest. Three months of preparing myself for a new journey? Sounds dreamy and somewhat elegant. I am not even sure that I can make it. But the starting step is just what I need right now.

The thing is it has been almost 2 months already but I still don't have anything tangible to be proud of. There's so many things in my head I want to do but I'm still in the starting steps :P At this moment I can only move forward and try harder, I guess it's the only way to make my life not so boring.

So, What I am doing? It's what I have been dreaming for so long but couldn't concentrate enough to make it happen. Illustration is the keyword. Stationery design is another one. There's one more month left for me to prepare my own illustration portfolio. Wondering if I can make it in time or need to extend the period.

Anyway, Images you see here are ones of my attempt. Stationery set for holiday time. Just hope it can make you feel joyful and be ready for the most awaited holiday, Christmas! :D In case you don't know yet, I have a little shop on Etsy and this holiday set is available here on my shop.

There are 3 items in this Joyful Time set here:

Joyful Time gift card

Sticker Joyful Time scalloped shape

Joyful Time gift tags

Another set of Christmas design is coming. Will talk about it soon...

Thanks for coming. Hope this post is not too boring for you.

Draw Don't Drown

Bad news for you. Well, actually, it's for me who live in Thailand.

Right now we, Thai people, have been suffering the big flood crisis for several months already. Many provinces from north to central part of Thailand have been flooded since August. Some area has recovered, some are still living in water. This big flood is part of natural disaster and part of human mistakes. It's too complicated for me to explain the latter part. I can only say that right now there's a huge amount of water traveling down and through Bangkok, the capital city where my place is.

Sounds scary? Yes, it does. But the situation is not completely unmanageable. We are unfortunate to have lousy, stupid and selfish government but at least we have the strength of local communities, volunteer spirits and a great help from our army. We are going through difficult time and although I'm not sure when and how the flood will visit my place, I have a strong feeling that we can make it and that's why I'm still here writing this post.

During this hard time, volunteer helps and fund are very important to flood victims, we have several fund-raising projects going on around the country, in real world and in cyberspace, both inside and outside of Thailand. I try to participate as much as I can and the image above is one of my contributions for a project called Draw Don't Drown.

Draw Don't Drown is a postcard design projects to aid Thailand against flood crisis. Basically, people from around the world can participate by creating any kind of visualization in postcard size to be produced as fund-raising postcards. There are lots of beautiful images over there on the facebook page to browse through and if you are interested to buy or help. please take a look at the project's info page.

I have to say that raising fund is important but it's not as important as all the spiritual support we have received here :)

There are two more images I did for this project, I will post them here very soon.

Thanks for coming I hope you have a merry day today!
