Gift Box for my brother Alex’s 40 years

This year my brother Alex celebrated his 40th birthday. For the occasion I needed a special gift. But what to offer to a man who is blessed to have no special needs! As I was still pondering over this my husband Boris suggested that I craft a ‘box or something’. Yes! I really needed my husband’s input for such a great idea.

I used the template from my CraftHappy Cuttables Cube Box and cut out the design in my favorite paper from my Document It kit which happens to be the one my brother likes a lot too. For the special touch I used photos from my brother’s baby and childhood albums together with a recent photo his photographer friend took of him. I filled the box with a bag of candy, tucked some money underneath and wrapped a tulle ribbon around the closed box. Guess who was delighted? I bet it was the best birthday present ever!

Always believe in your dreams

I can’t tell you that this layout is the result of a deep and wise reflection. It came together naturally.

I actually had to create a layout for my Bohemian Rhapsody Maxi Kit. I met this young lady via istock and the colors of the photo were very appealing. I randomly chose a word art strip and the layout was ready to be uploaded.

It is only when I had a second look at the final result that I realized how fitting this page is: ‘ALWAYS BELIEVE IN YOUR DREAMS’ How true! This advice should not only be given to our kids but also should we tell ourselves regularly that believing and pursuing our dreams is well worth it.

I am not at destination yet and I have no clue if I will ever get there. The road sometimes curvy and some paths are misleading. Sometimes I seem to get there more quickly, sometimes I am moving on like a slug. All in all I try to follow the road steadily and the deep satisfaction resulting from following my heart and believing in my dreams is priceless.
