april seems like a good month to do this tag!

So OM's mommy tagged me to do this 4-4-4 tag and I am doing it about a mnth late, but hey I am doing it! The tag is pretty simple.



“Go into your photo archive,pick the 4th folder in the archive,select the 4th picture in the folder,and write about it.Then tag 4 other people to do the same."



Considering my expertise (Ahem!) in tags and photos, this is making best of both worlds! ;)
And guess what my fourth folder is called? Blog pics! Hyuk! I really need to get a life.



This was the fourth picture. Its Cubby's room (we all sleep there actually) and those are the rubber A,B,C,Ds which we bought just to add colour to his room. Its actually a jigsaw puzzle that turns into a small rubber mat! Now it surely wont! Yeh fevicol ka mazboot jod hai! ;)
Ofcos I have no intention to stop at one picture. Might as well turn it into a propah blog post about Cubby's room!



This is the most useful gift I got post baby. Given to me by my more experienced SIL. It a wall hanging with small shelves which are extremely handy to keep small clothes like hankies, bibs, nappies, vests and shorts! :D The Pluto on top is gift from Cubby's daadi and we get to hear "Goonite Puto" everyday. Oh! And there is the Fogg (cubby speak) too!



This blurred picture is the height of my creativity. Sadly I took the picture just before pulling it off so its in a sad shape. Thats all the booties Cubby got as gifts but never used 'coz they would keep falling off his feet. The red bits are cut from greeting card M ahd given me and some stuff off wrapping paper also! :D
This is what replaced it! These are greeting cards Cubby got on his birthday from grandparents and a few friends. Some stickers that were lying around in the house and that chhottu scooter we got as return gift from a birthday party. Even this one is shambles by now and I need something new! The small wall hangings you see have wooden birds and snimals on mat like material.
The close up! Just in case you missed some finer details of Ahem! My artwork! ;) And no, I didnt cut out the letters that say Cub Tale. They are bazaar bought!
The most prized posession. These are fish made out of leather, a speciality I believe from Andhra Pradesh. Ofcos getting them to stick on the wall was helluva job and took us forever till they stopped dropping off because of their weight. Eventually it became impossible! And yeah, the door doesnt close! :(


So then this gift from Aaji-Ajoba came handy. The wall was slightly damaged with all the feviqwik and jazz. And we needed something big enough to cover it. M and me obviously fought over the positioning of all the cute stuff and this was the final result! Cubby loves saying "Oney-Bee, Dog, Coow, Sunn, Birdy Birdd" and the works! I love how bright the whole thing is!

This is a buddy stuck on the walls of the master bedroom. Cubby's Eyetaya now almost called Eyephant! :D There is similar dog, parrot and pig on other walls. He ripped off a couple.

So thats that then. I tag Dee, Swati, K3 & Puja. Share your picture with us!

And why April is a good month to do this tag? Its the 4th month sillies! :p

Ps: Considering we all have credit cards and/or loans, read this very interesting post by the pati about very own Desi credit rating society! What do YOU think?!

Aha...what a colourful room! Loved the fishies. Since you stick everything with fevicol do you have to repaint the entire room once you remove everything? Liked all your little artworks of Cubby's things :)Shows its done with a lot of love!

Indian in NZ said...

very colourful ! And yeah, I was thinking about use of fevicol on the wall too - how do you take that off the wall ?

Monika said...

Monika said...
