Reading time - Free printable bookmarks

Books take great importance in my life but I have to admit I didn't read that much recently. That's why one of my New Year's decisions was to visit my local library more often and read more this year. And I don't now about you, but I'm always in a need of a good bookmark. So I decided to play a little bit with photoshop today and the result is below...I designed some girly chic bookmarks that you can print and then glue on some nice card-stock paper. (For original size, just click on the image and then save it)
Hope you like it...Kisses

How about orange?

Orange is energy, enthusiasm, 'get-it-done' attitude, and balance. It typically symbolizes Hinduism, Buddhism, happiness, energy, balance, heat, fire, enthusiasm, flamboyance, playfulness, gaudiness, autumn, desire, Sagittarius and September. Orange has less intensity or aggression than red and is calmed by the cheerfulness of yellow.
I enjoy orange most...In a changing leaf, In a flower, In an orange, In a fire, In a sunrise, In a sunset, In a sweet apricot, In hot summer.... Ok, you have it all figgured out by now, right? I really like orange!

Light up your house - really cool wall painting ideas...

Up until only a few years ago people would usually paint children's rooms, but this trend has crossed the border and entered directly into our living rooms, halls, bedrooms...
Walls are the largest area that you have so you can easily use them as an additional space for decoration.




It is not necessary to paint the entire wall, it is enough to refresh only part of the wall with certain detail and the entire space will become completely fresh and new.
With different wall illustrations and playful motifs you can separate or highlight some areas in the house.
Selecting the appropriate color and pattern you can provide the individuality and fashionable appearance with very little effort. The advantage is that you aren't limited with the color, size or pattern, and the result of the transformation could be really astonishing. There are few examples in the gallery, I like them very, very much. Check them out!

The Closet of Your Dreams

Large closet, a place for storing your clothes, shoes and accessories is definitely girl's favorite place in the apartment. If you have space, find the ideal corner and with a bit of good organization turn it into a place of your dreams.
The main heroine of the Sex and the City movie, Carrie, wanted a large closet instead of engagement ring. Spoil yourself and do the same, but do not wait for Big, bring your dreams into the reality by yourself.
Do you also have a spare bedroom that rarely gets used? If you have an empty room in your apartment or just one free corner afford yourself a large closet.

Think about everything you want to store in your wardrobe: drawers for small things like underwear and socks, hangers for shirts and smaller ones that will keep in perfect order belts, scarves and ties and special part for shoes are just some of the ideas that will elicit a smile to your face every morning.

Closet in the kid's room
The best solution is a cabinet that will 'grow' with the children.
Arrange the drawers, shelves and hangers in a way that you can change their purpose and allow the child to reach only things he needs. Put a drawer at the bottom of the cabinet - your child will appreciate a place for storing his or her toys.


Now that you’ve got all the hardware, it’s time to organize. First, separate your items by type: tops with tops, pants with pants, and so on. Arrange by level of coverage and within each group, arrange up from lightest to darkest color.

Finally, sit back and admire your work. Maybe take a little time to test drive your new space and play dress up. You’ve earned it.
A functional closet will save you time because you'll be able to find things much faster and every evening you'll go to sleep knowing everything is where it should be, neat and tidy.

Children's room decorating: Useful tips, design ideas & points

Decorating a child's room can be as much fun for the adults as it is for the children. There are hundreds of different styles, designs, techniques and themes you can choose to employ. The most important place to start is obviously with your child. Make sure you take the time to really listen to what is they like and want before you embark on any drastic changes to their personal space. That's not to say you have to agree to paint their room neon pink with lime stripes, just that it's important to incorporate what they want in keeping with your financial means and general standards and ideals.

Start with the basic elements - bed, wardrobe, shelves and desk if the child already goes to school.
Good quality bed and mattress are very important. Although children do not have large mass and thus do not generate a lot of pressure on the mattress, allow them to have healthy and comfortable sleep.


If this is a room of larger dimensions, it is desirable to divide it into 'zones' for different activities- sleeping, eating, playing and / or socializing with friends, learning.


Favorite cartoons characters or film heroes which often symbolize strength and power, and carry positive messages about relationships and justice could also be a good starting point when looking for a room decorating theme. Subject may be dominant in the area through the colors and motifs of the elements of furniture, wallpaper on the walls, the figures on the shelves, etc.



Children are often fascinated animals, but do not have the chance to play with them. Therefore, you can transform their room into a little "animal kingdom" - buy plastic and rubber animals of different species and provide enough free space on the floor to ensure all the "animals" are able to attend the game.
Children's imagination is immense. They often identify themselves with characters they see on TV, and assign themselves roles of knights, pirates, warriors, fairies, princesses, etc. Make their environment imaginary world in which their roles are becoming real.



If your child has a special talent, like music, art, etc., try to decorate his or her room in a way that reflects those talents. The presence of appropriate tools or equipment at any time will help to manifest and further develop this ability through a game or a serious exercise and learning.

What I'm trying to tell is that only the sky is the limit when it comes to creating fun and innovative ideas for decorating children's rooms. There are beautiful furniture and wonderful textiles available to give your children a room that is more than just a place for rest, but one that is used for fun and recreation too. Cheerful colors and playful elements of furniture and walls, complete with favorite toys and other items for fun, will turn it into an oasis which promotes the game and but also learning activities.
The ideas and options are endles, if your child is old enogh consult them on what they like and want to see then work with that to create something spectacular!
