My craft work & awards

I am always having a great passion in craft works.I would like to make crafts on my own and present to my loved ones on special occassions rather than buying a gift from shops.Now a days i often make small crafts which makes makes my kid  soo happy.Whatever i made my child felt too happy bcos her mother knows something extradinary and she felt proud about that.Her happiness gives me more energy and encouragement.And this craft is also one among the list,i got this idea from swapna's ''my world of stitching''.
She made a paper chirstmas tree in one of  her post.After seeing that i went back to my college days where we made this paper hut.I made it out of calender sheets[daily sheet, a complete pack] with similar foldings of swapna.After i made this, i gave to my child.Her eyes become widening and too bright,her face is filled with extreme happiness and she hugged me.All credit goes to swapna, i fully dedicate this to her.
My child was crushed the hut before i click it with paint.She wants to paint on that with her water colour, i encourage her and i lastly adjust that.
