On Cloud Nine!

When I read here: http://blog.nancyaugust.com/2012/06/summer-craft-soap-clouds.html that we could make clouds with soap, I could not contain my excitement and we made it the very same day!

Making cookies

Thanks to Raani for organizing cookie making as part of Christmas celebrations and for these cute pics :)

Little houses

Unpacking fun

Laundry time

Lampshade painting

Got all of my Sharpies and set to decorate the lampshade in the kids' bedroom with it. Car theme for my car-crazy kids - that's the idea that struck my mind and I loved the result :)

Little gifts in a little box

I loved these little pyramid gift box and set to make one right away :)

Got this cute idea from: http://www.linesacross.com/2012/05/paper-pyramid-gift-boxes.html

Drawing book

Adu loves to copy my drawings and insists that I draw all pictures step-by-step. This inspired me into making a series of books with illustrated drawings with simple steps for each picture.
