Day 27: family dreams
This is the card my husband got for his 30th birthday. Kind of “plan” of what we will be in 5 years from now (currently we’re building our own house, hopefully in 5 years we’ll be living there happily).

Days 10-19: Almost no progress
Ok… let’s admit, this year’s TAD challenge turned to be not so successful and productive for me. To many things happening… in my life, in my family, in my country.. But still wanted to show you two more popup cards

Day 5: life and love
Today we haven’t tried anything extraordinary with my kid, just the usual daily exploration and play… Like checking out various objects in the kitchen, talking to dog or re-organizing mom’s stationery. In the meanwhile mom keeps reading

Day 3: Salt dough and self-motivator
Today we played with salt dough. This time Ksenia got the point that eating this stuff is a really bad idea… ;) Our biggest achievement – “saltman” made from few pieces of dough :) And mom was totally out

Day 2: Abstractions
Today is all about abstract art.. Tried to show Kseniia how to draw abstract lines with her first chalks (however she still enjoys eating the chalks more than using as originally intended :)) And made this strange popup card

TAD 2012 summary: 13/29
Well, this year’s “thing-a-day” was not that successful as previous years (more “thing-every-two-or-three-days” :)).. but it was worth participating anyway! :)

Thing #13: winter love
This winter was extremely cold in Ukraine. My grandmother’s thermometer was showing -33 degrees Celsius one morning! That’s really freezing. ..Luckily that even in the coldest winter there are things which can keep you warm anyway ;) (the label says

Thing #11 Aprons decoration
A bit of sewing this time. Now our aprons fit our curtains :)
Thing #9: me!

Thing #8 – Letter Ю
A good friend of mine just became father! :) Now he has little son – Yuriy (in Cyrillic it’s spelled as Юрій). I’ve made a present for the happy family – drawing with the letter Ю.
