wish-crafting

i bought this Chipboard Kit frame quite awhile ago at MPH. Significant Other says it's rubbish, but i thought it would make a good addition to the wall considering i don't have enough frames in the room. with this kit i get to create 3 different frames (which means i gotta decide on 3 photos that should go into the frames, which i haven't done yet).


inside the box contains 6 printed colored paper, 6 pieces of cardboard shapes (as in the above photo), some ribbons and buttons to serve as the frame decorations. being the bendul that i am, i'm just gonna follow the design that's already shown on the box it came in.


i've managed to complete cardboard shape #1 this while watching Melissa & Joey on Star World earlier. i'm never one to trust my scissors skill, i often resorted to the blade when it comes to straight lines. but i'm lucky these ones turned out ok. i think i'll work on the square frames tomorrow night.

some people can get really creative by just using stuff that's lying around the house. me? so the very cerewet. i'm better off not doing anything, i'd end up with more wastage than anything, oops. i know Dayana would be interested in this. i bought her a cut-and-paste activity book, she enjoys the activity very much (i cut, she paste). she'd bring the book to me and say 'mommy i nak sticker ini!' while showing me which ones she want me to cut out for her. i leave her to the gluing part. if it were up to her she'd finish the whole book by herself @_@.

for Dinara, i just give her a pencil and a paper, and she'd start scribbling. i didn't teach her how, i guess she followed by example. role model: big sister Dayana. she can even scribble with both hands ok, kelakar betul. but most of the time the pencil ends up in her mouth. and then she'll start walking around the room dragging the paper along with her.

i'm wondering when's the next time i'd be able to brave allowing Dayana to dabble in paints again. i forgot to buy her proper palettes to squirt the paint in. sometime soon before i realize she's all grown up already? haha... time flies.

on another note, happy birthday to my mil, 1 day shy before Halloween =D. duh, no wonder most of the tv series are showcasing pumpkins and costumes and scary horror flicks (like the Walking Dead haha).

happy XXth birthday!
