i've been browsing through many design blogs lately :) and am so intrigued by how an empty space can be transformed into a world of endless possibilities. and how little little details can entirely change the 'feel' and look of the room. ee. it's so addictive. sometimes makes me wonder why i'm studying what i'm studying in the first place.

anyhoos. i was browsing through Etsy, this place where you can buy & sell absolutely anything (which are all handmade btw). and they have some reallyyy good stuff i must say. i thought i'd share what i found with you, which made me go:

'omg so cool. so cool.. so coool.'

ya you get my drift. check out the wall art above! i especiallyy lovee the one with the silhouettes of people on the wall. shooo cool :) anddd. they are all just little adhesive things! just stick em' on!

easy and i'm gonna say it again, soooo cool.

rekindling that creative side.

it's been awhile since i patiently sat down, ransacked my stationary&craft supplies. . and created something. i used to. when i was much less of a bum. i loved cutting&pasting, punching paper flowers, colouring with my crayonspenscolourpencils & whoknowswhatelse. i enjoyed it. heaps. i remember i used to make loads of cards back in school. . and later on too, i think :) i'd stay up to the wee hours of the morning making all the cute lil cards (for valentines day or whatever day. u know how last time in school sangat main having all kinds of 'days' just so that the societies can make money from selling stuff). i opted to buy as the years went by cos' it was obviously much more convenient :p

so when a friend's bday cropped up recently.. another friend suggested a photo frame. and i thought :) 'why not?' the excited me drew up 2 draft designs and selected the one i preferred more. then, i got noisy and roomie's help in getting it done. more hands = less time!

our end product which we are actually quite happy with :) hoping the receiver thinks the same way! *haha

noisy: i stick flowers ya! :)

*goes on to punch lotsa flowers and cutting an even bigger one*

hehee. i missed all these artscraftcreativemaking nonsense. been looking thru lotsa ppl's ideas lately and even sat down at borders after work today, picking up a 'how to make a scrapbook' magazine under the crafts section *hehee.

i promise there will be more to come.
