20070331 | Maria's Birthday Card
(c) JS. Originally uploaded by Three Heavens And Hells.
The weekend before last was Maria's birthday party, and I'm always excited to embrace my crafty genes and make construction paper cards for people. Who cares if Maria isn't a 5-year-old? I'm making her an octopus playing the keyboard and that's that.
The granular, woody smell of the paper, even setting up a work station with glue, tape and scissors makes me giddy. I like to imagine my love of construction paper comes from my mom's job as a teacher's assistant back in the 90s. Maybe this explains the subconscious "mom" written in Maria's octopus bow. At first I thought I was simply pasting on her first initials, but who am I kidding?
