Muse Monday #2

Do you remember this post when I introduced Muse Mondays? That was back in August. Then the whirlwind that was September hit and I didn't come back to them...until now. Here's my second Muse Monday.  Want to see the inspiration for this adorable baby card I made for my friend Sarah?

I loved the combo of polka dots and giraffe print on the bangles. I took it a bit more literal since this is a baby card, and then I saw the sweet little baby! I added green to give the card a bit more life. Turned out pretty cute if I do say so myself. 

Materials:

Paper: Moss (PaperSource), Dots & Stripes (Echo Park Paper Co), Paper bag (PaperSource), Newsprint (Stampin Up)

Stamps: Sweet Baby (Papertrey Ink)

Ink: Frost White (Colorbox)

Other: Sweet Baby Die (Papertry Ink), Onesie Die (Papertrey Ink)

Indian Dinner

A few weeks back, my husband ran into a family friend from India visiting their daughter here in MN. Their daughter had a baby two weeks ago, and they invited us to meet them for dinner this past Sunday. There's nothing like homemade Indian food! We had goat curry, fried egg dosa and tandoor chicken. This was my first time having goat, and shockingly, I liked it. The whole evening was an experience for me, as the father only spoke Tamil. It was fascinating to watch my husband speak Tamil with them and then translate for me. He better get used to it, because when we go to India in January, he'll be doing that a lot for me.

With the new baby, I once again found myself looking for a gift in the baby department, this time at Target. Is it just me, or is everything adorable when shopping for little girls?. I went with the winter wear theme, seeing as we had just experienced the first snow fall.
