Cocoa Daisy layout...

You can tell that I love playing with paints and mists :)
Om is home today with doses of antibiotic, cough medicine, nasal spray, etc. Let's see how this day unfolds for us...

H.E.C.T.I.C. day...

It hasn't been a whole week of school and Om fell sick. He got an ear infection, congestion and a bug bite!!! He stayed home today... L.O.N.G. day... poor little boy!
My day was crazy busy too! Hence, blogging at 10.20 pm.
Before I get into bed, thought I'd share a page I did for Cocoa Daisy with the September kit Brighter Skies.
I had fun with this kit :)

Night night!

Friday shares

Made this page for Crate Paper using Restoration and Brook collections.

And this is what happened at the end of first day of kindergarten :)

Have a nice weekend!

A tutorial

I made this layout for my Crate Paper blog tutorial for August. The Restoration collection is really inspiring. I love the warm colors so much. The papers do all the work for you and the accents are just fabulous. I had much fun making this page.
Happy Wednesday :)

First day of school

today...

So much anticipation & excitement that we barely slept last night...

Hoping for a great first day of a great school year :)

Studio reorganization

Stamps... not all, but current favorites

Stained the wood shelves yesterday...

Organized some of the ribbons as well...
More to go... officially last day of summer here today. New routine from tomorrow!

One long overdue...

layout for Cocoa Daisy and a happy weekend :)

Lot of

scraps...all over the floor... scraps from ages ago hiding under something... it is overwhelming to some extent. And then there is the urge to just pick up those scraps and start playing and forget the floor, shelves and general mess... yet, feeling restless knowing that I need to do what needs to be done!!!
Anyhoo, here's a share.
And another at the Scotch (TM) 3M website:

Happy Thursday :)

Still playing...

Still having fun making stuff for no immediate reason... just for fun and loving it :)
Also working on updating supplies and reorganizing the studio, falling in love with papers, trinkets and paints all over again...

Paint is magical, I tell ya!!!
Also planning to try out a few techniques that's swirling up a storm in my mind... you know, the kinds that won't let you fall asleep at night... still mentally refining them.
But first, need to finish cleaning up and getting things ready for school to start next week.
Happy Monday :)

Creating just for fun today...

I had been busy with stuff and hadn't had a chance to make things just for fun lately... I picked today (even though I should probably clean my room instead!!!) to have some fun... it's sunny yet raining outside... I'm going through photos and scrappin' them! Have some plan for a mini too.
Summer vacation is almost over here and kids will go back to school soon :(
Yesterday, I got my September CK... love to get magazines!!!
