Day 1: Growing My Little Sunflower Munchkins

Another sunny Friday afternoon in Vancouver! I'm definitely enjoying this.

To take advantage of my day off, I decided to grow some sunflower munchkins. Despite my allergic reaction to pollen, I am determining to spend more time outside and grow something this year. I hope this will turn out okay.

Day 1: Planting

Did you know...

Sunflower seedlings need daily watering once they are in the ground. If the seedlings get dried out, they will wither (Source: Barb Hacker). I'm assuming in pots too?

Please leave a comment if you have any tips for beginners like me. Even words of encouragement will make me happy :)

Have a wonderful weekend!    

Table Tennis Birthday Card

Happy Friday, everyone!!!

I made this special card for my Dad last September and totally forgot to post this! My dad loves to play table tennis with his friends, so why not make a card that shapes like one? :)

It's the Thought that Counts

...And that was what I wrote for BN for giving his birthday card two weeks late.

Sometimes what I envision to make is not what I expect to look like afterwards. I wasn't satisfy with the first card that I made so I had to leave it aside until another idea pops out. Lucky for BN, he gets two birthday cards this year! :)

It's the thought that counts :)

My New Obsession: Washi Tape

I learned about washi tape over a year ago and I never really researched on where to purchase them...until bff told me that Michaels has its own section!

Washi tape (or crafting tape) is a high quality masking tape made from natural fibers. Best of all, they come with different designs, patterns, and sizes. You can tear it, stick it, reuse it, and even write on it. The low tack adhesive makes it really easy to use. Now you can understand my new obsession....

...Hello, I'm Sheryl and I'm a washi tape user

Within a month, I already have four washi tapes. The Hello Kitty tape (as pictured below), was a gift from bff which I immediately opened it and taped it onto my phone. Thank you!

My collection of washi tape...more to come :)
