Making a seamless background using Canva

I wanted to create my own background image. Obviously, Canva is the go to place!

I got a photo of a flower. 

I used a free background remover to erase background. You know that removing background is not free on Canva. 

Then arranged the flowers on a blank instagram post template. 

Placed the image on the sides so that only half of the flower on the four sides. Then I saved it to computer.

Now, you can download that one back to Canva. Then resize it. I arranged them seamlessly on the top of the instagram post template. Then grouped them together. No it is easy to "duplicate". 

Then paste the lines of flowers the way you want. 

I liked it covering the space.

Then I downloaded it as a PDF file. If you wish to have it for your own use. you can get it by clicking here

Should I forgive myself?

Aha!

Time flies! 

Especially the weekend goes before I even blink my eyes 

I got only one day off this week. It was usually a week day and then Sunday. But, I had to help out on that weekday.

I was very careful to do a load of laundry done during the week. That left one big load on Sunday. I did that on the morning. But, I procrastinated to fold it and put it back. Now it is sitting in my laundry bag, waiting for my attention

But, I did do vacuum clean the ground floor. Mopped the kitchen, and did all the dishes after helping hubby with cooking. 

Then some time was spent on Canva to do something fun. 

Now, it is evening, time to finish up the weekend fun

I am realizing, I have to finish the Book A Week for the blog. I finished reading "Lie to me" Tear me Apart" and "Snow"

On a second note, I bought the book "Income Investing Explained" from Amazon. 

I have the "Go Giver" downloaded to the phone from the Toronto Public Library. Seven chapters are finished already. 

Left over works are:

1. blogposts for the books I already finished.

2. Folding the laundry

3. Vacuum and mop the upstairs

4. Check the usual financial blogs. 

Those are the ones I still have to finish. I did called the most important people in my life and talked to them. There is still food in the fridge for tomorrow. Oh and I did half hour exercising. 

Considering all those are done, I think, I can catch up the unfinished work during the week.  

What you think? Should I forgive myself?

Book A Week: Week 12

I can't believe, I am reading a LOT now a days. 

This  last week I finished "Camino Island" By John Grisham. It is not a legal thriller, like most of Grisham's novels. This one deals with rare books. 

There was a theft in Princeton library. Thieves took the precious manuscript by F. Scott Fitsgerald. FBI is involved in the case. Princeton will pay any thing for the safe return of the book. 

A private investigative team is also trying to get the book back. 

In the beautiful Camino Island, there is a thriving book store. Do the book store owner know about the manuscript? 

The private investigator team think so. Then will they get the manuscript back? If so how?

Grisham keeps us on the edge with his narration. 

I love reading Grisham's thrillers.
