Dessert Doctrine: SFU Origami Club & YVC

I mentioned the executives from the SFU Origami Club and I volunteered at the Burnaby Hospital last Friday. The event was called Dessert Doctrine I: Origami & Card Tricks. We were there to teach the volunteers from the Youth Volunteer Council some simple origami so they can make it with their patients. There were also interactive games, card tricks, and ice cream cake! Yum! I had a great time, so enjoy the pictures!

Origami! :)

Practical and Decorative Origami

Last Friday, SFU Origami Club organized a practical themed event. Instead of folding for fun, we thought it would be something new and different to teach members to fold practical things with just origami paper. There were decorations, bookmarks, boxes, envelopes, chopstick stands, and the list goes on!

I had so much fun that I actually folded some stuff to decorate my room. I folded this really cute sunflower photo stand.

I love sunflowers :)

Little Brother's Birthday

Happy Birthday to my lil' butter! 

He gave me a cupcake calendar for my birthday, so I used a cupcake paper for his birthday card.

I gave my little brother a Domo t-shirt. I saw this t-shirt at Urban Outfitters and I thought it was the perfect gift for him because he loves Domo! It kinda reminds me of his little monster birthday card from last year.

I'm Oh-Kay!

First of all, today is Spirit Day, a day for people to wear purple in support for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender (LGBT) individuals. I was inspired by Ellen Degeneres' video on bullying. You can click here to watch her touching video. I'm wearing purple right now, but only at home because I have to rest my back...so here's a picture of me wearing a purple hoodie and purple socks with hearts :)

Wearing purple for Spirit Day

So! My back is feeling a bit better now. I'm amazed that I went to school on Monday and worked on Tuesday...I deserve that ice cream in the fridge! haha

Friends visited me today. We played Grand Theft Auto (an interesting game...), Hoopla, and drank bubble tea. It was nice having them over because I was feeling kinda blah from watching TV and sleeping all day. OH! Check out my card that friends gave me! Yay!

Watching The Simpsons!

Michaels Arts and Crafts Store Grand Opening

Finally! I have waited many months for this new Michaels store to open! I love Michaels so much that I would rather go to the grand opening than see a doctor about my back pain (I will go see one soon!).

After work, Bunni Pie and I went to straight Michaels to do some insane craft supplies shopping. Maybe "insane" wasn't a good word, but it's close enough! We shopped for almost two hours and spent about half an hour looking at ribbons. I love their ribbon aisle! It's so neat and colourful!

Just like a kid in a candy store

More presents for me!

I hope everyone had a wonderful long weekend and got to spend their Thanksgiving Day with loved ones. I guess this is a perfect time to say that I'm thankful for my families, friends, Hello Kitty, and glitter glue :P

I want to share some more birthday presents that I got. I think they are pretty cool and special. I know, my birthday was two weeks ago...this will be my last post on my birthday, I promise :)

My friend, who made and drew a cupcake birthday card, gave me this printed t-shirt. What's so cool is that he took one of my drawings and turned it into a t-shirt! He gave me a box of these t-shirts :) Thanks!

i ♥ earth!

Birthday cards for me

Here are the birthday cards that I got from my friends...2 weeks ago. oops, thanks for waiting! :P

This handmade pop-out card is from S-Bear. I love the details in this card. The glitter on the cake, the white tissues for the cream, and I didn't forget about the Hello Kitty! The coolest thing about this card is that you can fold it down!

Happy World Card Making Day!

Today is World Card Making Day! :) I'll be celebrating this day by attending to an event that is held by a Stampin' Up! demonstrator, Ida. There will demonstrations and we will be making cards, of course! You can visit Ida's blog here.

I will post pictures tonight, but for now, enjoy a sneak peek of one of my birthday card made by Noodle Kaboodle. Thanks, Missy!
