A Happiness Keeper

  

 

 

-A happiness keeper-

My husband wonders why do i need things like this. He asked me once, and i answered "to keep photographs and other memorial things". Yes, i do love keep things that could remind me of somethings good in the past. Dont think that im crazy, but i admit i'm a bit scavenger. fyi, i still keep khama's first straw (and hundred of another khama's first things), a seashell that i stole from a beach at Phuket, and many more. and nothing to do with them but put them safely in a box.

Then at the other time, he asked me too why do i like to print photographs? "i dont see you frame it and put it on the wall". Yes honestly i just use it one two three times for scrapbooking and the rest will stays forever in box. Again, box. but i love to open it and review and remembering back to those moments. and also touch the real photos is different feeling with view randomly in the computer. although i know, digital camera is made for efficiently reasons. oh yes, i dont print all the pictures out, just some of the favorites. 

So, when i know that a friend (find it at Scrappettizer Scrapbooking) create and sell the box materials, im happily bought it just because first,of course the good design, second, i know, i need it. if not for now, maybe for tomorrow or next month or next year. And last night i finished decorate this camera box. (i believe it's named camera box means to be put photos right?) 

I know i added one thing more in my room (and the deal with husband is once one added, another one must go too. thats the only thing that will save your house neat and clean). but i argued this time that this thing will keep my treasure neat and organized. yeah right :), oh sorry its not treasures, it is happiness inside actually!

On its 13th year of event, The Jakarta International Handicraft Trade Fair (INACRAFT), which is held annually in April, will focus on the development of creative economy product as a form of support to the government, especially on the economic field, as an effort to increase Indonesian exports to foreign countries.
It is all related from the fact that Indonesia is an archipelago country which has a plurality and a cultural diversity with various handicraft products, whereas the products it selves are needed to be conserved and also developed with the implementation of advance technology and the increase of market demand in every year.

2nd month khama

This one is still part of Khama's 'month-to-month' flower series. She's 2months while this picture was taken, tiny huh? Please see the 3rd month Khama in the previous post. The color here is richer than the others, i combined both vintage blue and yellow, honestly i don't why my heart is just not into yellow, specially the vintage kind of yellow. baby or pastel is still ok, maybe kinda hard to combine that color.  but looking at this layout, i think yellow and i were friend now.
