Making a paper airplane

The dynamics of making a paper airplane have gone beyond me. Working with kids esp boys is not easy when you don't know what makes them tick. So today a lil boy come to me with a huge and i mean huge piece of paper (bigger then A3). "Please make me a plane that will fly?" and here i was thinking to myself i can just about make an A4 airplane that flies how am i going to manage this one. So i did my usual folding and gave it to the child. but did it fly? No the silly thing just landed flat on its nose. "But it doesn't fly?" the child asked. And here i was thinking to myself i don't know how to make one that flies. So i tried again and still it didn't fly. :( So now i am stuck with finding out how to make such a big air plane that will fly.
If you a boy reading this and have tips or idea's they are most welcome. Please :D

Where does valentines originate from?

Where does Valentines originate from? Well I can tell you its from India from the Gujratis, When the Guju men upset their wives , the women beat their husbands up with a Velan (rolling pin) & so everytime the men made the women upset, she would say to him its 'VELAN TIME'... and started beating up the husband, so now they have changed the name to Valentines all over the world. :D

birthday Cards

So this year I have decided to draw my own pictures on birthday cards... although I am not an artist i can only try. So if you get a rubbish card this year... sowi :) my inner artist is awakening... Blame Joanna... she got me into crayons... :P Besides she gets the first card so i guess thats ironic...
So for her card I decided to draw purple ladybirds. Pics will follow soon :) I know ladybirds are red but since her fave color is purple i made her purple then went loud and did the spots florescent orange... hehehe.... I like it... It looks gorgeous... :D I hope she likes it now...
So why do I do my own birthday cards when I can get some really lovely cheap ones from the stores... Well I like adding a personal touch to things. and Making Birthday cards is crafty and I love doing crafty stuff... I took a whole year out just to learn craft stuff... (rambling  and deviating here) so back to cards... yeah making them gives them a personal touch and and I can write the persons name so its like theirs and no one else's... and i like mixing and matching colors. and most of all i find it relaxing...

So lets see how this goes and how many cards i actually do draw on. :)

Daily writing

One of my new resolutions this month is to write daily. Even if its writing one line. Ever since i stared studying my writing has suffered. I don't get time and its annoying... So in February I am going to try and make sure I write one line everyday... even if it means putting up a quote that i saw and liked... Good Luck to me. :D
