In the gifting spree "mission 2-0-1-3"

2 0 1 3 has some sweet charm to make me gift my friends.... :)
From my childhood I have a strange habit of loving to gift people with goodies crafted by myself!! Why I quote this as Strange is because - The moment I complete hand-making the gift, I grow a creator's affinity towards those cute little stuff and I tell my mother "Ma..Lemme have this with me..will make some other art for X's bday..(though always the birthday will be the very next day!!)"..sometimes amma lets it happen!!
Gone are those days!..where in now its always a happy feeling to bring a smile on thy friendly faces..So it is this year with such list up of sweeter moments & much more smiles!! The gifts adding the essence to it!!

How cute is a girl wanting paper flowers from me for the reason that her Mother-in-law loves them!! The pink tissue blossoms smiling underneath are what I gave her!! :) smiles all the way on her ever pretty face!

These flowers are so easy to make, but hard to take our eyes off them!!...With such a tough task my cousin who came to my home was looking at a set of red tissue flowers posing alike surreal  roses!! When given..she was already flying!!!
RED-ROSES are a fun for me..starting from its dual color name..(coz.we use to call pink as 'Rose' color ) so I use to confuse in my childhood between pink rose = rose colored rose (ie.) "rose rose" ;)....ha ha...........I hope there are people out there reading with such similar experience!! ..... Hi5 :)
The bright red ones  to my cousin :)

And more and more of the mission in my next post !!!

Pepsi can candle lantern

 Easy to trash..and enjoyable to hit it on the roads with a jump & bounce!! These cool drink tins are always loaded with fun!..

So here is my 'Giving' a second life to the tin can! Can be themed for halloween season too!

Cut Paste!!

The title seems like some software mantra!!..ah!!
Chart paper decorations is what i mean here...
I had loads of waste chart paper landed under my drawing table..which me & my sister used for her teacher training assignments....for her class room flash card session we cut those color charts into various shapes to write the questions that students need to answer........ her work is done... and there..my waste management starts!!
Oh Im so tired.. let me get a nap!!

scissors, little pieces of charts and busy hands..that is all you need for this.......
These different shapes can be accomodated with waste thermocol balls too.....
Paste them on wrapped gifts..and can add a touchy line in the space......
I am yet to add a line for these cute couple...sshhh..they're busy..DND!!


the basket style......and few more...in d next post!!bfn!!

You can .. Make a difference!!

We involved in some community service activity organised by our company........
The opening ceremony had to have a welcome Rangoli on the floors to catch up the go!!

And this is my trial in painting the white fish tank marbles wid acrylics....... Loved the event and the process..... various activities to cheer up the orphan kids and to liven up their living cum studying places, painting the walls, accompanying them to theme parks, many stalls and garage sales, multi cuisine lunch for the whole 3 months that contributes the whole sum money for their studies..........

The thing on top of all those is... we felt we made some difference...as v dont jus spent d money for them...v wer wid them and felt their need alive!!......

An amazing team time.....wow...... and each moment and everything with my close mates.. shammi & bhoo !!! :) :) wooo..we made it!! cheeers!!

Angry birds - Applique work on pillow Cover

angry birds..yayyy !!
Applique is the method of stitching tiny pieces of colored cloth over another layer of cloth.The word Applique comes from the french word "appliquer" which means to "put on".
My brother's unused t-shirts are now worn by pillows and oh..the plain black T looked like a crow for me....So planned to give it some colors and got this angry birds fever.....
The blue little birdy is done...and the pig King Pig is on the way in my next post !!
