I love this blog..

www.howaboutorange.blogspot.com is quickly becoming one of my favourite blogs!

My God, the things this lady can do.. It is wonderful.. Maybe she will adopt me and teach me how!! Jessica Jones, you are becoming my idol!!

One of the latest things I found on her webiste was a printable gift tag freebie! These tags are so cute..



There are two versions of these tags.. The only difference I see is the year on the ticket of the last tag.. But I will give you the links to both, of course :)

2011 Version
2012 Version

All I can say is, VISIT her blog.. There are soooo many printable templates and DIY fun stuff that I could spend hours just scrolling through all the posts!

Creativity has finally found me!

After all of these years wishing I would do something creative, I am suddenly finding myself doing almost too many things, considering the amount of time I have during the day.

I should be looking for jobs... I should be cleaning the house... I should be walking the dog... I should be keeping my husband company... I should go for a run... I am not doing these wonderful (-.-) things!

I have begun drawing, making earrings, painting, folding things.. I am contemplating bigger projects, like learning to sew and making cool and lovely things for myself and my friends.. I have even been shopping for this.. My mum took me to a "creative" fair this past weekend, and I almost collapsed with all the cool and fun impressions, and my mind almost blew up for all the ideas that sprang to my head. I wanted to do it all, learn it all and own it all NOW! I bought a few things to get the earring-thing going.. And now I just ordered a buck-load of materials.. But who am I kidding?! I can't wear 25-30 earrings!! And I can't keep finding free spaces on my walls for all the 13x18 cm drawings I keep making.. Soo.. I am going to have to start selling all of my lovely projects! I already sold drawings to my parents and parents-in-law, but, you know, they have to support and encourage me! So as I make more and more things, I will post them here for sale at a very reasonable price, and if you should be interested, please write me an e-mail, and we'll figure all the details out :) oh, my e-mail is stinne-b@hotmail.com :)

So, as it turns out, this is going to be a blog about creativity! And I am loving it. Even in this very moment I am torn between sitting at the computer, writing, and being upstairs drawing a new picture..
