Love  Lule Creations...I'm the kind who is chatter box once you know...yak yak yak yak all the way i love laughing to I find anything funny..happiness? maybe but i swear I'm just bewitched with laughing, but I'm also very quiet, cant really say shy but just reserved and humble most times. So all this funny mixed personalities make me who I am, and the colors I love represent who I am. 

My mind sees people in colors at times through their personalities they give off. It was His birthday and I knew at an instant what i wanted his card to look like only cause his personality is full of a rich deep soul, calm (too calm at times of distress if i must add,  I find myself throwing fits and losing it and he stays calm..that makes me wanna throw more fits lol)... grounded and rooted, God fearing, ethical, caring and loving and precious...

It did not take me more than 5 minutes to actually use the material I had to put it together...
He still has it kept...
I still keep seeing people in color, so one day when its your birthday and it so happens I make you that card  know that, i see you in that color..don't be offended some have weird colors # eyes wide open#

Love Lule Creations...I honestly have a soft spot for old people...not the new old ( 40 - 50) but I'm talking about grannies and grandpas, i love them in a granddaughter kind of way...awkward i know...creepy to if you look at it but my love for them comes from having to be raised by my grandparents. I am a "GOGO'S CHILD" and proud really i can say they have done a great job...look at me # heheheheehehe# 

I know how to be patient with them, I understand their whining. I am literally the kind who wants to help them cross the road on a busy street my heart just pours out to them cause the so vulnerable, they are literally like kids you know so its hard not to feel sorry when they get confused but everything...

So i was so excited at one stage when I was asked to create stationary for this Golden oldie, favors, menu's and program's.for her table set up it was only a pleasure. She was turning 80 and gold as her color scheme  was only fitting.  I Love you all GOGOS

YES! we are the generation of innovation and us riding the space cars is creeping up very soon
but obviously they had to start the innovation with the creations of hand art first..

ladies and gentlemen I call upon the infamous ELECTRONIC INVITATIONS... lol I swear everything has its own evolution...when we used to invite people its was first sent through by travelling house to house and delivering the message personally...than it came to writing letters and sending through the post....it went on to telephones...than it started becoming a bit a ego thing if I can call it that, writing out the invite in an exam or note pad with your best hand wrighting...than making cards with pretty colours...than it was making sure when you send your invitation it sent a certain statement! now we have come to our electronic invites, they are sent through email mostly and than of course they can be turned to images and since the evolution of cell phones was keeping up, images are sent through it.

I love electronic invites but the first time one of my clients came for consultation and asked for it answered my questions as to why this lady only wanted 50 invites for a wedding! but I just froze I couldn't tell her I am sorry I don't know what you mean, as young as I am at times I swear that this old soul I have in me does put me to dark ages...really it happens... but it clicked very quickly thanks to my IT background I kind of figured what exactly she wants and what exactly to do, I gave a huge smile and said with confidence " LULE CREATIONS CAN DO ANYTHING"....ok maybe not like that but here i go again
IT keeps dragging me back in and this time its at my favor..

So i met her when we were still young, wide eyed, naive and eager to know what is this huge scare and woooo haaaaa about high school...to be honest i never wanted to go to that school...all my other friends were going to the other...i was going to be alone meaning new friends, new moods to handle, new faces and most of all i just got out of being " The Big Kid" in my school back to being the little one so here i thought Lu you on your own now you have a new life to face and unfold, OK lets do it.

So first day sucked because i was just left at the gate, yes i was one of the kids who never came for open day so i was stuck and followed the crowd..i know sucked, but here i was skinny and tall and smelt of new uniform and extra deodorant,  i walked on with pride. I gradually met a few faces i knew from my old school (primary) and thought hey this cant be bad so i started feeling relaxed and at home cause these faces i knew since i was in Pre-primary and we all rode "Malume's " taxi to school.

Than i met a few lost heads in class and thought hmm let me squeeze myself in here, and i fitted well. back to Her, she was quiet and weird, sat in front but had a familiar face somehow..i know her but from where, couldn't be from my old school, so we had to introduce ourselves and say which school we were from, than it clicked when she said she was from the school my bus passed every morning i must have saw her from than, i know sounds a bit stalker-ish but she stuck in my frame of reference for a reason. first weekend came and i went to church with my gran as usual, i walk up to the door and boom there she is again, so it must be from church too....cut long story short since than till now we been friends, and creativity soul buddies if i can call it that, but her work when i see it inspires me every time and its like the first all the time.

Since i reside in Joburg, I passed on one of the creations to her for a client in Durban so she will be able to meet and greet and communicate, and as quiet and folded as she is she sure does unfold the lashes of creativity through her hands. This is love for creation, passion, destiny. You don't go out and speak and shout out to the world you let your hands do the screaming...Ndalo is her name and she is my creativity soul mate.

Treasures of the heart

 
 Love Lule Creations....Everyday of our fruitful lives we are told , " treasure those who are important and dear to your heart, before they are no more.." what are your deepest treasures that you hold dear to your heart? we have different perception on what we hold dear to our hearts. As toddlers our deepest desires was to find a treasure chest filled with chocolate treats covered by gold wrapping. As teens it was the crush we had on someone since primary! as adults it is the people that hold the key to our hearts...

during my consultations, I really enjoy listening to couples who are about to get married. you see I am a hopeless romantic so every story to my ears seem like a fairy tale lol. one thing I remember is when this lovely couple were not sure what they wanted but they wanted something different and eye catching as their invites. so I was sitting there thinking what could I offer

these two lovely people, then she said, " he holds the key to my heart..." and he didn't hesitate to reply ," and its safe in my treasure box deep down in my heart..." and a immediately got an idea which I could not contain. ..I blurt out "how about we carry your invitation in a treasure chest??" they looked at me like this child is here to play. obviously I just had to make them see my vision!

they loved the demo, some creations are just inspired by the stories I hear! yes its a blessing to see how some people still love and have hope...hmmmm I wonder where my Prince charming has kept the keys to my heart :) :)

Love Lule Creations....its all about the love of creating uniqueness.
I love working with my hands its what gives me my sanity, I really  enjoy creating fresh and out of the box events stationery, something someone will want to keep and use either for display, jewellery keeping or just for keep sakes...
 
My first creation was on my coming of age ceremony in Zulu its called Memulo a traditional ceremony done for girls when they turn 21...I made my African pot invite and till this day people still have the pots either in their lounges as part of décor or as a jewellery keeper...
 
No more invites thrown in the bin, what a waste of money! how about you give your guests a piece of the events standards prior the function and they will keep the memory for a long time!...
 
Yes! Love Lule Creations will hopefully blow your minds with all the stationery you might need for your event... welcome to my space
