My art journal is really an ordinary book. It has ruled pages too.
That is the one I started experimenting with. It still has pages.
My birthday was last week. I don't have great party or celebration for that.
But, my daughter usually give gifts on my birthday.
This year, I decided to make a page to remember about her gifts to me.
She gave me an origami swan. Inside it she wrote how I support her more than her friends. Wow! It was lovely!!
She made a beaded necklace for the swan too. Along with it, she gave me chocolate with I love Mom on it.
She know, I am a chocolate lover.
I added little paint to the swan. The background with yellow, pink and orange is a piece of kitchen towel, I used to wipe my brush.
I made few multimedia background using facial tissue paper after viewing a video on youtube. It was shared on the G+. I will try to find the link again to put it here.
The chocolate wrappers were beautiful. She bought it from GoDiva. Don't you love the polka dots?
My sweet girl knows mummy's likes.
I used glue stick to glue them down.
Now let us see the completed look:It is still drying only. You can see the cardboard I put beneath the page to protect my next page.

I always have a problem in organizing. Now a days, I really wanted to reduce clutter. So, I was brainstorming for ideas.
My family's wardrobe is really a problem. Yeah... Not any more.
Because, I found out clothes can be filed.
I found that people folding and filing clothes in the chest drawers.
I have to tell you all.. It is really great and I have a lot of space now. Better yet, I don't have to mess up to find things.
I had few Ikea organizers, which were under utilised. So, I used them to file T-shirts and pants.
When the boxes are all used, instead of going to Ikea, I used some shoe boxes, which happened to be in the home.
Those are shorts, filed in the box.
Now look at the T-shirts...
This is really great upcycling (or is it recycling?) project. I didn't even bother to pretty up the boxes. That can be done later. Right now, it is fine. Sure, I will find some old magazine papers or wrinkled gift wraps or used gift bags to line the boxes.
If you have any organising tips, please, please share with me. Need more ideas to tame the papers, like important documents, bills....
