Day 21 - ODOP Christmas - Tags

Dear my friends,

Little things happened today. My feeling is upside down. Sometimes I don't understand what people think about me. On the other hand, I really don't care, but this time, what they did really touched my heart in negative sense. Perhaps I need to have a bigger heart to take anything I encounter. Yeah, a bigger heart.. :D

Anyway, this is my take on the theme today for one day one project: a country. I chose France. I made these tags according to the colors of its flag. Blue, white and red.

Sizzix Tag and Snow die cuts and Eiffel embossing folder; Shimmer twines of The Twinery; Papertrey Ink sentiment stamp; Carla Circle punch plus frantage from Stampendous

The truth is: I feel so comfortable in my craft room, making this and tht, arranging this and that, matching this and that. Perhaps I'm a kind of person who can't work in a team. Perhaps I'm a kind of person who enjoys working alone. Perhaps... ahhh.. I'm sure I need a much much bigger heart. I'll try. Though my response to them was positive, to me, I still felt the awkwardness toward their deed.

Well..well..well.. I need to be back to the commitment I made last August: not to be everywhere. Yes... Just stay focus on my "field". Ok..ok.. I will do that...

For sure, today, I suddenly wanted to fly to Tours, a city in France, where I could meet my homestay family there and have a chat with them. I really miss them.... I miss everything I did there:
1. walking along the streets and the river banks
2. being in the classroom with the funky teachers
3. eating baguette with those French vegetables
4. chatting with the family and extended family
5. visiting other friends' family
6. going to craft stores
7. traveling from one castle to another castle, even traveling by train from Paris to Amsterdam to Brussel to Strassbourg..
8. etc.

I miss everything about France.
