I started with… Continue reading
I screwed up. In the first month of the new year I did all the things I was saying I will NOT do this year.

I know, for every crafter, and especially for the paper crafters, it is very difficult to throw out pieces of craft material. They all look so useful, so wonderful!

Iceland poppies are one of the most beautiful and fragile creatures in Earth. Imagine how surprised I was when one beautiful white flower appeared in one of my flower pots in the 7-th floor of the apartment building. Maybe a crow brought it, they often do this, hiding seeds for later, but where she found… Continue reading
Oh, so many birthdays of wonderful people that I love a lot in October, so I am still in a celebrating, colourful mood. And also, the Indian Ocean is bright turquoise blue, but that’s another story… To create a Hippie style greeting card is very easy! The better news is you can’t make a mistake… Continue reading
Travelling a lot with my husband, I picked up the crazy habit of buying notebooks from every airport where we have a stopover.
