We Have A Winner.... And Asian Baby Girl Shower Centerpieces!

We have a winner of this week's blog candy: #42 - Jessica. Isn't #42 always the right answer in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe? Hummmm... Silly random selector.

While I have you here, I wanted to share the centerpieces I made for an Asian themed baby shower I hosted at work. We decorated our conference room in over the top Asian and had an assorted buffet of Asian foods for lunch. The husband and wife work in our office and they are so sweet. They are also "out of the box" thinkers so an Asian themed baby shower suited them nicely. Now we have to wait another 6 to 7 weeks to meet sweet baby Sophie!!

Birthday Special - Sonu Nigam's Rare Photos

Christmas In July at Custom Crops

Have you been by Custom Crops and viewed the new projects (with cut files and directions) that were released on Monday? I have Christmas in July Package Tags!!!

I used brads on the Snowman to represent the coal buttons.

The Ornament is accented with silver paper trim - isn't it nice on the topper and the scrolling detail?

The Christmas Tree was accented with different colors of the stickles. I thought the stickles represented the tree lights.

And finally the Joy tag; I love the joy tag! I just love the word JOY!

To view the directions and download the cut file, follow this link to my page at Custom Crops and click on the project title. I would appreciate it if you would leave a comment at CC, they really do track the comments!

B'day Spl: Rare Photos of Sanjay Dutt

Priyanka Chopra who has just joined Twitter

A few days back our very sexy Mallika Sherawat was invited to Twitter office in San Francisco. The lady was the only Bollywood actress to enjoy a huge fan base on the social networking site Twitter. Now she faces tough competition from her contemporary Priyanka Chopra who has just joined Twitter.

Currently, if Mallika Sherawat has around 9,446 fans, Priyanka Chopra boasts of around 13,452 followers. It’s a record of sorts as the actress is just a month old on Twitter and has gained tremendous popularity ever since. If Mallika introduces herself as Bollywood diva on Twitter, Priyanka has status message “DA REAL DEAL”.

According to media reports it was Shahid Kapur, who asked Priyanka to join Twitter. Earlier, both the stars were Facebook pals and their wall-to-wall scribbling was grabbing a lot of media attention. As a source reveals, Priyanka is quite addicted to Twitter now and posts all the recent day-to-day happenings, as well as her thoughts on the site. One of her latest post says, “back to pyaar impossible sets... feels like im back home.. last schedule.. :( one of those days where i question life.. hmmm..”

But it’s strange that the actress is not using the platform to promote her next release Kaminey. She is just mentioning about her whereabouts and twittering with her fellow tinselville tweeple like Uday Chopra and also Gul Panag.

For this desi girl the world of social networking is very exciting, she is also a gadget freak and loves interacting with her fans through web without any fear of being mobbed in the virtual world. Nowadays, she also likes clicking pictures at events and also personal ones. Recently at an event she took pictures of the mediapersons and also of her mom and bro, which are available especially for her tweeps on Twitter.

Priyanka was quoted as saying, “I’m having a lot of fun (on Twitter)”. And the actress is hoping that her Twitter family increases with time. That means we might see Priyanka, after Mallika, visiting Twitter headquarters soon.From:movies.apunkachoice.com

Top models sashayed down the ramp dressed as the bride and the groom, at a fashion show organized to mark the occasion.

Talking to media, Kapoor denied speculation of a possible marriage with her boyfriend, actor Saif Ali Khan.

"As of now, I don't have any plan for marriage, at least for two years now. If I have any plans I will let you (the media) now of my plans," she said.
The jewellery brand, which Kapoor endorsed, was meant for the young bride.a

BBTB Blog Hop, Blog Candy.....And a Wedding????

Hello blog hoppers! Welcome to Busy with the Cricky - you arrived *just in time* to celebrate a wedding with me! Have you heard? The Restroom door symbols eloped to Bora Bora!

When Regina assigned this weeks Bitten by the Bug challenge cut, the man and woman, I immediately thought of the restroom door signs.

I cut the man and woman in three colors: light blue, white, and black as well as the shadow cut. I used scissors and trimmed the black and white cuts into the clothing shapes. I used a piece of ribbon as the veil, and added stickles to create an overall bridal dress shimmer.

Did I mention the blog candy??? I am offering a set of 12 blank cards and envelopes, in the cutest paper prints, complete with a storage container. Just leave a comment below and I will select a random winner on Thursday.

And finally, now that you have dropped by and helped to celebrate the wedding, you should continue on your way to the next stop on the blog hop. Who knows what wonderful things await you at the blog of the kind and amazing Regina!!! Enjoy your trip!

Abhi-Ash lose AR Rahman

Months after Dhoon was announced, we heard that AR Rahman would not be composing the music for it any more. Dhoon is cinematographer Rajiv Menon’s Hindi directorial debut vehicle.

Toplining Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan, the film, produced by Eros Entertainment, is a musical based on a couple whose professional lives affect their personal relationship.. and how they eventually sort out their differences.

According to an industry source, the work on the music was scheduled to start by now. Rahman had agreed to score the music for Menon’s film before Slumdog Millionnaire and his Oscar Awards.

“But after the Oscar nominations, Rahman had to commit to a couple of projects, which were priority over his films. But he hasn’t yet started composing for them,” our source informed.

The same source added, “After that, Mani Ratnam developed a heart problem and had to be hospitalised for a few days. Consequently, Ratnam’s Raavan with Abhishek and Aishwarya was delayed and Rahman had to reschedule a couple of his other assignments.”

In the interim, Menon was working on the final draft of his film and was scheduled to commence work on the music a little later. Now with Rahman’s dates being rescheduled, Menon is worried that the project will get delayed indefinitely.

So, he is considering other composers who will step into the Oscar winner’s shoes.

“Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy and Vishal-Shekhar are some of the names under consideration although Menon still hasn’t had a formal discussion with them,” our source added.

Menon refused to comment on his change of plans. All he said was, “It’s too early to say anything definite. Perhaps, in a month or so, I will be able to divulge some details.”

Megan Fox is a Marketing Genius

[gallery_main-0724_megan_fox_comiccon_07.jpg]

When Transformers 2 was making the rounds, Megan Fox traveled throughout the world looking sexy. Now she's promoting her new film Jennifer's Body, and also doing the sexy thing - but this time with her words, which is way better - if you're blind and they're translated to braille. Otherwise, she really needs to start stripping.

[gallery_main-0724_megan_fox_comiccon_00.jpg]

"I think I'm pretty sexy in it," the actress, 23, said at the Comic-Con press conference for the movie (out Sept. 18). "The movie is SO sexy! You better put on your sexy shoes for this movie!"
In the film, in which Fox eats people, "there's sort of a hint of, a little bit of a lesbian relationship that happens. There's a girl-on-girl kiss. And beyond that, before every kill there is a seduction that occurs," Fox continues. "The boys have to be seduced to get in close enough to the dead girl in order for her to devour them."

She doesn't mind freaking out an audience.
"It's cool to see myself being able to scare people, because I'm just a little girl," she says. "Look at me: I'm so sweet!" (Reuters)

Man, this girl is a genius at selling a film. Ok, who did Megan Fox just turn on? Let's see, we got the people who love Megan Fox, sexiness, lesbians, foot fetishers, guys with a 'Daddy's girl' thing, necrophiliacs, dude's who love to be bossed around by women and your mom. What, she's into Megan Fox? Is that so wrong?
