I am back! The last week was a little bit busy for us at the flower stores as we had Valentine's day on Sunday. But now, I hope I 'll found little bit more time for more important things like paying attention to my virtual crafty corner and write about all the staff I did the previous week. Good news is that I show you my last Christmas card last week that I did in December and I will no more annoy u with little felt trees or plastic stars:) How great is that??? This topic switching might also help to push the cold-cold winter away, well at least in my mind. It's feeling like it goes forever and I can't wait for spring to come and feel the warm breeze on my cheeks again, wearing only light sweater and putting away all those winter boots into the closet. I can't wait!
Right now, I am trying to take better pictures. And, I have a big help. Something is different & I hope it's also visible, visible on my pictures. YES, I have a new camera!!! The picture above was taken by my old camera to show you my new baby. It was a total surprise from Darren on Christmas. And what a surprise it was, I didn't expect it at all. I have now a new toy to play with & hopefully my old camera won't be too jealous. But, I am afraid she will be & she has a good reason. Look at this body! The only thing or actually couple things I need is a new lens, extra battery pack, and external flash, and... definitely more stuff I can't think of at this moment:) Right now I am using my old good lenses and enjoying 20 more buttons on my new camera, which I have to look up in the manual eventually. I am little bit like Alice in Wonderland as I am finding new functions on my new friend every day. I hate manuals but I have to read it this time carefully as this camera is 'little bit' more complicated:). But, I am definitely in love!!! Big, big love! You know, all that hugging and kisses this camera deserves you dont' even know:) I am getting little bit crazy but for a good reason:)
Have a great week and expect better pictures... hopefully!

We are close to Valentin's day and I found a short tutorial how to make a very easy and quick Valentine's card. This might be a great project for kids as well because is a simple design but very effective:)

Don't you love the days when you do a lot of work and you feel that all that effort was worth? Well, I had one of those days today:) I did a lot today, and I created a lot today. The only thing that did not work out for me was that I run out of the day light and I didn't manage to take pictures of my hard work. I would try to take couple now but I rather prefer natural light. And, let's be real - I'm not that great on taking pictures by artificial light either. Let's wait till to tomorrow. Tomorrow is another day as well. Instead, I will show you one of the Christmas arrangement that was made for one of our stores. They say purple was the color of the season. So, purple it is! And, the candles as well. This is really simple decoration for the table or even you can find a perfect spot for it on your mantel piece as the ceramic pot is not that wide. Maybe I will make a tutorial about this creation as well but let's wait rather for the next Christmas, hehe.

By the way, the ballet was awesome!!! It was adventure to watch it yesterday. It had the promised rain, snow, and even an ocean reaching into the audience. I post you here a little trailer for the show that I found on the Theater's page. They talk in Slovak but the rest is readable through the pictures:) What is said in the short movie is basically the plot - that shows a life journey of a human, his desires, and failures expressed by dancing, singing, and playing. Everybody has it's own Everest!
