This happened on the 1st year I became a SHAM. That was the time I was running behind 2 kids, one being the naughty toddler of all 3 yrs and the other one the whine crawling baby but equivalent naughty one matching his sister. Being SHAM itself was new and stressful, add to it 2 hyper energetic kids and traveling husband. I had few hairs left itself was a big milestone for me rather the crawling or teething of chintu. In between all this I was still trying to become little more than plain old SHAM is something like a icing on the cake. So that I was the time I was exploring my artistic side of mine. As a self taught artist my house turned into experimental ground for me. I was doing glass painting on my kids study area and also murals wherever I found space. This said exploration usually happened when the said kids are happily sleeping since I didn't want to employ any assistants for my explorations!
This is also the time I was entirely dependent on my husband for the finances. Though my hubs is not a stingy person, still I was very reluctant since that was the starting time I was asking him for money. I was never a hoarder w.r.t. money, as my mother used to say my hand was always open when it comes to spending. But this was the time my hands were empty.
At this juncture came my hubs birthday. As a couple I was always the romantic one, who remembers all birthdays, all anniversary days, engagement days and etc. So imagine my discomfort since I didn't had any thing to spend for my hubs birthday gift, though I wanted to surprise him. That's when an idea came. In this phase I was also experimenting with photography and I had clicked some nice pics of the said better half. So a plan formed.
When kids were sleeping, I used to sneak out and get the pic printed. With my new found artistic side I started creating a photo frame. Since I was just exploring, I started out with paper mache photo frame, then turned into a m-seal mural art and so. It was a pure experiment and I was going with the flow. In the end I had a frame like one which was hardly holding the said photo graph, but it was holding and anyways I wanted it to all come together for one day.
So on the D day I ordered a cake and along with it presented the photo frame to hubs. Though I would say that's the modest gift I gave him I still was happy with it since I made it myself. Needless to say hubs was thrilled, he was surprised by my efforts that he started going thru my other creations of glass painting. So as a return gift he got all my glass paintings framed, though they were so armature, but still for him it held special place. Even though I don't know what happened to that photo frame, I still remember the look on the hubs face and that will be my ultimate prize for following my heart.
