I've been suffering from an "out of words" syndrome, where I can't find anything to write. Actually, to be more elaborate, I've been suffereing from a "don't feel like writing" syndrome. At first, I thought, maybe because I'm really busy ; Ramadan , work and all, but it's way simpler than that.. I just lost the will to write. I won'y say it came all of a sudden, I actually felt it coming, sneaking in slowly. I couldn't prevent it though.
I'm not sure how long that will last, but I'm the kind of person that doesn't calm down unless there's some sort of creative output (or at least output ) for everything; Ku, my energy, my life, my need to share,... you name it. So, I searched and searched for a new output for the Ku and then it presented itself to me: Card Making! Not only did I find a new idea, but I fell in love with it, and got obsessed about it. It reminds me of when I was a little girl, when making crafts was my biggest joy of all.
Naturally, being a business analyst, I don't just rush in something, even if I'm obsessed about it. I google, search, evaluate and then google once more. I came across wonderful blogs by several people who make cards which showcase their work and many supply stores. So naturally, I started checking the Egyptian options.. unfortunetly , we're really short on variety. Anyhow, I ordered some stuff from the US, but meanwhile, started shopping for local options with Yousra , who got interested on the notion.
Saturday morning, we starting working on our first cards.. I dida card for Meyo's birthday, while Yousra did one for mum. Tab3an in Meyo's case, I showed her the card but told her i won't give it to her until I actually find the inspiration to write something inside that expresses how I feel.
Meanwhile, ladies and gentlemen, I present you the first two cards made by "Z&Z" (Zeus and Zeww). They're still crude, unperfected, and childlike, but we love them, they're our first. Comments, encourgement and critisim are welcome.
