5 Things I Learnt While Making a Card




1. Never eat or drink anywhere near 


very obvious... you'll ruin everything, no matter how lovely the card is !
been there, done that !






2. Don't overdo anything


okay so a little bit  of  glitter and bling and stuff looks cute. but don't you do anything in excess as it's likely to make it look not-good











3 Don't try to be a  geometer  (Google it!)

so if you're making a card like this, then it's better not to make it  at all ! there's a better place for such a thing ... and that is the DUSTBIN!














4.  Be as sweet as you can 

the heading is self explanatory. Need I say more?
the cuter the better !  









5.  And finally ....




creativity IS the word. 


Being creative may just be a matter of setting aside the time needed to take a step back and allow yourself to ask yourself if there is a better way of doing something. 


be patient and get inspired! 


Before today, i used to think that making a card is nothing of a tough job. but it was when I actually made one for someone, that I realized what it really takes!  
you might  think that it's better to just buy a card and give it to whoever. 
BUT
there's nothing better in the world than getting a special lovely hand-made card !! (:
and you might as well think why didn't I write my trademark dialog that I say at the end of every post.
well, the answer is - it just doesn't make sense!
but then,
everything doesn't always need to make sense 
so,  *disfrutar de la vida* :P

Writing Out Loud With a 4-year old ! :)



So, I happened to be studying for my Chemistry exam on a fine Saturday morning. 
Unexpectedly, i had an unexpected visitor in my room ! a little neighborhood kid who had turned 4 just two days ago !
 while i was knee down in preparing 2-Chloroacetophenol, the little kid was dead keen on not letting me do so! Tried to scare him away but he was more stubborn than i was! plus my brother wasn't there and only he could do that.
i handed him a paper and a pen and asked him to write down the Alphabet. i hoped it would get him working. 
but when i saw him write and draw a flower (yeah, almost!) and a helicopter ( omg see yourself), in a jiffy , i remembered my own childhood days. 
so instead of pushing him out of my room, i ended up teaching him to draw a flower ! ! ! ! !
TRUE- in every thingamajig of the world, there's something of the marvellous ! (:
