Last Post for 2009!

Happy New Year, everyone! :)


Michaels Arts and Craft- Polka Dot Party Hat

Such a cute hat! :)

Happy Holidays!

Some people asked me to make some Christmas cards for their co-workers and families! I hope these cards made them smile :)

Enjoy!







I hope that this day is full of fun holiday celebrations!

Sad Face

I'm so sad...I deleted a wonderful post on Holiday Craft Ideas by accident :*(

I'm sorry if you didn't get the chance to read it. Maybe I should start saving a draft first. To (somewhat) make it up, I will post pictures on Christmas cards that I've made a couple of days ago! Come back soon!

Happy Holidays! ♥

December Babies

Happy Birthday to my December friends and big brother! :)


This card is kinda cool. You can take out the "Birthday Boy" tag and wear it. That way, everyone would know that it's his birthday! :)

(PS- I blogged about how I wanted the Martha Stewart Cupcake Punch.... I bought it and I LOVE it!)

I like to use alphabet stickers for short names like this one! It looks clean...which means more room for stickers!

I felt like drawing, so I drew a cartoon of my older brother. Although he's missing arms and legs, he still look cute!

Happy Engagement Day!

A friend of mine just got engaged not too long ago and I’m so happy and excited for her! Unfortunately, I missed her engagement dinner party...but I'll make sure I will NOT miss her big day! :)

More Pictures!

Here are some cards that I've made for the DDA Craft Fair!

Pictures from DDA Craft Fair!

I had such a great time at the craft fair! The atmosphere made it memorable for me. The rooms were decorated with Christmas decorations and everyone was having a great time! I regret not taking pictures of the entire craft fair, but here are some pictures of my + friend's table!


This would be my side of the table :)


That's me!


My crafty partner, Lena, and her cute felt stories and finger puppets!


Lena's beautiful felt stories. They're based on children's book (such as The Three Little Pigs).


Her homemade graham-cracker houses were very popular! It was sold out within half an hour!

If you would like more information on Lena's felt stories, please email me. They're great for elementary school teachers and parents! also great for the little ones!


And here's a picture of both of us!


The craft fair was such an amazing experience for me and I would like to thank everyone who came. Whether they bought my cards or just looking around (or even just to have a conversation with me :)), you have no idea how happy I am right now!

Of course, thank you DDA for allowing me be part of you special event! Check out their blog...They mentioned me! weeee!

To my lovely friends (especially those who came to visit me) and my family: I heart you all! ♥

And to my craft partner, Lena: I had a wonderful time and I'm glad I was able to share this experience with you! Let's do it again!

*Be sure to come back soon! I'll be posting pictures all of my cards that I've made for the craft fair! Yes! more pictures! :)

Updates!

I have two updates! :) 

1. The DDA Holiday Open House Craft Fair was amazing! There were a lot of craft goodies being sold at the craft fair, such as jewelry and decorated gift bags. Also, there were some delicious baked goods that made me drool the entire day!

I will update soon with pictures, but for now please visit their blog for some pictures!

anyways, missy's birthday was last month, but i didn't get the chance to blog about her birthday card..so here it is! :)

ROAR!

don't worry, this cute orange monster is not here to frighten people! instead, he's here to announce my little brother's birthday! (yeah, that was a stinky intro). anyways, he's not so little anymore because he turned 20 years old!


silly monster :)

happy birthday, lil butter!

birthday bash!

i like this one :) as you can see from my previous posts, i'm using ATD's Life of the Party scrapbook kit a lot. i love how everything matches, so it's quite easy to create pretty cards!
