I've never been to New York. I need to start saving some money for this future trip. When we do go, it will be five of us and it's going to cost an arm and a leg. </div>

Hi Guys!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I was browsing through Bloglovin and came across The Greeting Farm's feed. Wonderful memories of the time I shared with TGF started flowing through my brain. So in the spur of the moment, I decided to play along this week's Farm Fresh Challenge, which is <a href="http://thegreetingfarm.com/?p=3474">PICK 3.</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I actually colored this image a couple of years ago. I just never put her on a card. I don't even remember her name!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I used papers by Pebbles, Family Ties. Charm is one of my handmade. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Hi again! Two posts in a row! I am amazed at myself!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is actually a simply fun card I made out of the blue. I ordered this <a href="http://www.7kidscollegefund.com/UPTOWN_GIRL_MOLLY_MAKES_A_DETOUR_p/sbeb209.htm">Stamping Bella stamp</a> and it came today. My intention was just stamp and then set aside to color later. I couldn't wait! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is the Uptown Girl Collection from Stamping Bella. This is my first rubber stamp purchase since about a year or so ago! This is also the newest stamp I own! lol </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This stamp is pretty big so I didn't add any embellishment on this card. The sentiment comes with the stamp.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Since I haven't play along any challenges in like forever, I thought it would be fun to add this one on the 7 Kids College Fun challenge. It's <a href="http://7kidschallengeblog.blogspot.com/2015/04/challenge-123-anything-goes-twist-of.html">Anything Goes plus a twist of Spring colors</a>. This card is perfect for the challenge, don't you think?<br />

Today I have another travel themed card to share. This is another Milk Coffee digi. Image was colored with Copic Markers as always. Sorry but I don't remember the colors I used. I usually don't keep track of the colors I used. I know I should. lol</div>

I am looking into getting a new camera. Do you guys have any suggestions? For the past couple of years, I have only been using my cell phone camera (for crafts). I am looking for one with wifi included. <br />

Hello there!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One of my customer likes travel cards. She is asking if I can make more travel themed cards. Of course! I have a few travel stamps but I like more variety. I searched <a href="https://www.etsy.com/?ref=lgo">Etsy </a>and found this cutie from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/MilkCoffee?ref=l2-shopheader-name">Milk Coffee </a>Stamps! I've heard of Milk Coffee Stamps from you guys but never made a purchase. I am so glad I made my first purchase! Their stamps are so adorable!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This one is called Ti<a href="https://www.etsy.com/transaction/1021786772">ffany Goes On Holiday</a>. I absolutely love coloring her hair and dress! I used Sakura white pen for the dots by the way.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Today's share is a card I made for my Secret Sister Swap. If you don't already know, Secret Sister Swap is hosted by my awesome friend, Kathy. It is a wonderful way to meet new friends, share ideas and of course exchange our creations. We see and admire each other's work online but I tell you, it is amazing and exciting to see them in real life! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is one of my very old Magnolia stamps. I didn't intend to use a Magnolia image for my SSS's card but because I stamped a bunch of images a long time ago, I wanted to use them up. She may not be a Magnolia fan but I hope she likes this card anyway.</div>

Hi Everyone!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Are you surprised to see my post on your feed??? I bet!! I have been away from blogland since last year, May. That was my last post at least! I have been reading your blogs here and there, just not regularly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I am not sure if I am going to start posting much but hey, this is a start, right? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is my first coloring of 2015 and my first finished card as well. What do you guys think? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I guess you guys want to know what I have been up to, right? Well, it's basically my usual story: kids. The older one is in first grade. The girl is in kindergarten and the baby will start pre-school this Summer. The two older ones are busy on weekends with Chinese classes and swim lessons. My daughter will start piano lessons soon as well. So, as you can imagine, I am running around a lot, just like most parents out there. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My mom is hanging in there and doing great! She is slowly accepting her illness. She feels and thinks a lot more positively these days. She is going through a lot and staying strong even with the constant change of new medications.</div>

<br />
While I was away from blogland, I crocheted and made jewelry. I am currently obsessed with Japanese graph crochet. That just means no written instructions but with diagrams. I am working on a lacy scarf. It's actually my fifth one. I love the pattern! I have been hesitant about posting my crochet items here and have been thinking about starting a blog just for my crochet projects. I haven't come up with a name yet. I am just not too creative with names. Any suggestions?<br />
<br />
Have a great one, everyone! Thank you so much for reading!!<br />

Boy! How time flies! It's the start of another week already! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I didn't get to craft much these last few days. We have two sick babies in the house. The little one has been sick since last Thursday and the girl since Saturday. I took the baby to the doctor on Saturday and today. Both days his doctor couldn't figure out why he has been having fever. Hubby is taking him to the lab for some blood work tomorrow if the fever persists. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I am a little disturbed because when my baby's doctor tried to pick up some ear wax from my baby's ears with the tweezers, his ears bleed a little. I assume his doctor accidentally scrapped my baby's ears because he moving so much. His doctor assured me it's okay. I hope so! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hopefully Kaylie's fever goes away soon. Otherwise, I will need to take her to the doctor. </div>

Hi everyone! Hope everyone is enjoying the weekend!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I took advantage of the sale at <a href="http://www.michaels.com/">Michael's</a> a few weeks ago and bought more beads. Bead Gallery beads were 55% off, which was the lowest price of the season! I just had to stock up! lol</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here is a 3-strand necklace I made using 20mm loop peridot shell (<a href="http://www.michaels.com/Bead-Gallery/brand-beadgallery,default,pg.html">Bead Gallery</a>), glass pearls (<a href="http://www.darice.com/store/browse/catalog/wholesale-jewelry-beads-strands-pearls">Darice</a>), and 6/0 Czech glass beads (<a href="http://www.joann.com/crafts/jewelry-and-beading/beads/#prefn1=isProject&prefn2=brand&prefv2=Beader%27s%20Paradise&prefv1=false">Beader's Paradise</a>). The longest strand is about 20 inches. Toggle closure. </div>

Over the years, I've <em>accumulated</em> tons of beads. I am slowly trying to use some of them. The ones for sure I am not going to use, I am going to put them on Ebay. <br />

Hi everyone!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Today's share is another thank you card. I used one of the Wee Stamps. I forgot what she is called. Anyone knows?? I colored her ages ago with Prisma color pencils and Copic markers. I kept this card pretty clean and simple mainly because the image pretty as it is. I didn't want to distract her with other embellishments. lol</div>

I am going to try hard to keep up with my blog. I may not have cards to share but I will try to post something a little more often. Let's see how long I can keep it up! lol </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I am trying to do something different with my blog. Did you guys notice? :) New color and all... By the way, I am on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and Bloglovin. Links are on the sidebar. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Technology is not really my best friend (yeah, I know, in this age, right? Yes!) so does anyone know how to add that little Pin It button on my photos? Like when you point to the photo, that round "P" comes up? How about adding all those little social media buttons after the post? Can anyone help?</div>

Hello everyone!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hope everyone had a fantastic Easter weekend! </div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here is another Thank you card I made for one of my customers. Like I said previously, I made a few thank you cards so you will be seeing a couple more. :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I used Miss Anya from The Greeting Farm on this one. The sketch is from one of my older cards. I love the layout! I think I used this sketch a few times already. lol</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink. I used three different thank you stamps as you can see. I love the result! </div>

Hello everyone! Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and a great start of a new week! This week is going to be much warmer so stay cool, everyone! (For those of you who are in the LA area, that is.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Today's share is one of the few thank you cards I made for a customer. I colored this image from The Paper Nest Dolls a long while back and finally put her on a card. The pretty purple flowers are by Prima. The stickpins were from my stash. I believe they are by K& Company. </div>

This past weekend I was determined to work on a few jewelry pieces. I am proud to say I made two! Yay! I had an eye on Ann Taylor's multi strand pearl necklace but thought it was a little pricey. So, guess what I did?? :) I made an Ann Taylor inspired necklace! LOL I haven't have time to take some pictures of it yet but I will try to this coming weekend. One thing I've got to mention is that after making the necklace, the Ann Taylor necklace is well worth $80! It took me three nights (2-3 hours each) to finish the necklace and a matching bracelet! I spent roughly $30 on supplies. <br />
<br />

I used Ellie Loves To Sing on my card. Simply adorable, don't you think?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I colored Ellie with Copic markers. I added polka dots on her dress with Marvy Le pen (brown). The sentiment comes with Ellie. As a matter of fact, there are a few other cool sentiments. The ribbon flower is one of my many DIY projects. </div>

The sketch was very easy to follow but I did spend quite some time creating this card. I felt like I am starting all over! This is what happens when I took a long break! lol</div>

Hello everyone! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I know you guys are super surprised to see me posting! I mean, I haven't been blogging since the beginning of the year! We are in March already! lol</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Just like everyone else, family and work kept me busy. The other reason for the lack of posts is I pretty much lost my motivation in stamping. Its' really hard to pick it up again when I haven't been creating in months!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I was scheduled to guest for <a href="http://yournextstamp.com/index.php?test=USD">Your Next Stamp </a>a while back and I am so glad! It is a chance for me to pick up where I left off! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Procrastination is my middle name so of course I waited until the very last minute to work on a project for today's post. I did attempt to start early but my family has been taking turns getting sick! Hubby and I got sick first, then my daughter and now the two boys! I think I may be getting sick again. My throat is scratchy and I have been having runny nose. :( </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Today, I have a gift card holder to share. I used <a href="http://yournextstamp.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=66_226_165&products_id=1390">Ellie with Pressies</a>. I made a few gift card holder a long while back so all I did was color the image and decorate it. lol</div>

Hope everyone is having a wonderful start of 2014!<br />
<br />
I spent my New Year's Day with my family. Our family gets together every New Year's Day so it's sort of a tradition now. Starting the new year with family is the BEST!<br />
<br />
I don't have anything crafty to share today. I am hoping maybe soon?? :) I have been such a bad blogger!<br />
<br />
As mentioned in my last post, I will be talking about other stuff on my blog besides crafts this year. One of the things I want to talk about is FASHION. <br />
<br />
I've always loved fashion. I look to coordinate my outfits, when and if I have the time of course. I was able to do that more when I didn't have kids. I had to match everything then. lol With three kids now, it's a different story! I only try to when I have a few extra minutes. <br />
<br />
Since last year, I started following a few fashion bloggers and I would love to introduce them to you! I find them very inspiring! Each one of them has his/her unique personality and style.<br />
<br />
Wendy of <a href="http://www.wendyslookbook.com/">Wendy's Lookbook</a>. I found her when one of my co-workers circulated her YouTube video <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LYAEz777AU">25 Ways to Wear a Scarf in 4.5 minutes.</a> I like to wear scarves in the winter so the video was quite beneficial to me. I watched a few more of Wendy's videos and wanted to read more about her. I kid you not, I spent a couple of hours reading Wendy's posts! I was touched, I was inspired! From a foster child, to a Berkeley graduate to a well-known fashion blogger, Wendy is an inspiration to all! <br />
<br />
Jean of <a href="http://www.extrapetite.com/">ExtraPetite</a>. I found Jean a couple of months ago on YouTube when I was looking at one of Wendy's videos. I haven't read much about Jean yet but I love her style!<br />
<br />
Justin of <a href="http://www.walkingtalkingstyle.com/">Walking Talking Style</a>. I found Justin when I commented on one of Wendy's posts. There are a lot of girl fashion bloggers but when I saw a guy, I was curious and checked him out! :) <br />
<br />
Well, that's all for now. Next time, I shall introduce you guys to a few crochet blogs!<br />
<br />
Thanks for reading!<br />

Wishing everyone a wonderful Christmas! <br />
<br />
It has been a while since I last blogged. Life is keeping me really busy! Here is a little summary of what's going on lately:<br />
<br />
1. Bought a house in October, final in November.<br />
2. Remodeled the house and advertised for rent.<br />
3. Tenant moved into the house in December.<br />
4. Daughter turned five this month.<br />
5. Son will turn six next week.<br />
6. Mom is doing good. I am trying to spend as much time as possible with her on my days off. Not sure if I ever mentioned this but my mom is diagnosed with cancer, stage 4. I don't like to talk about it because I don't want to face it.<br />
7. I am currently not on any design teams. I don't plan to get on any for a while.<br />
8. I have been so busy with the everyday life that I haven't been able to keep up my Etsy store. I am hoping to start back next year. I am hoping to add more variety of finished handmade items. I may have a separate store for my finished crochet items.<br />
9. Amazingly, I haven't been to either Michael's or Joann's! It's pretty unusual considering I used to go at least once a week! <br />
10. Besides crafts, I plan to talk about other topics on my blog. I just need to find some time! <br />
<br />
What have you guys been up to? Love to hear from you! Please share your thoughts!<br />
<br />
Thanks for stopping by!<br />

Hello everyone! Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
How was Black Friday? Did you go out there and grabbed a few good deals? I was out only because my eldest niece wanted to go. I was so tired from cooking all day Thanksgiving day that I wasn't in the mood to shop at all. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Black Friday was just another ordinary day to me. It was not crowded at all, at least to me. I guess most people shopped on Thanksgiving night or shopped online already. I didn't see or feel the "Black Friday excitement".</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I had lots of fun helping Lisa with the booth at the Original Stamp Show in Carson a few weeks ago. I was super happy to see her too! I haven't seen Lisa since the beginning of the year! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Sadly, Lisa has decided to close down <a href="http://www.thecraftsmeow.com/">The Craft's Meow</a> because she is returning to work. I know Lisa loves <a href="http://www.thecraftsmeow.com/">TCM </a>dearly and I know how difficult this must be for her. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Lisa is hosting a <a href="http://thecraftsmeowshop.blogspot.com/">farewell blog hop</a> on <a href="http://www.thecraftsmeow.com/">TCM </a>blog. I strongly recommend you guys to hop along and check out all the amazing creations by her friends and DT members, past and present! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Unfortunately, I couldn't join in the blog hop because I have been so busy. I absolutely couldn't find any craft time! I feel really bad and sad about it. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Will Lisa re-open <a href="http://www.thecraftsmeow.com/">TCM </a>one day in the future? I am not sure but for now, if you love <a href="http://www.thecraftsmeow.com/">TCM </a>stamps, better grab them while Lisa still have them in her online store! There is a HUGE sale going on now! Hurry for the best selection!</div>

What have I been busy with these days? Well, for one thing, we finally finished working on our rental property. From searching for the right house to getting a loan , remodeling it, advertising it for prospective tenants and finally choosing "the tenant" have been a long stressful process! Tenants moved in today so we get to relax a little before we work on the back house for my in laws. </div>

I used FALL CHARLOTTE on this case. FALL CHARLOTTE is currently on sale for $5 only! Grab her while you can!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I colored her with Copic markers and Prismacolor pencils. Sentiment is by Hero Arts, the Celebrate Everyday set. Papers are a few years old, by Me and My Big Idea. Pearls are by Recollection. Metal photo corners are by momenta (I think). </div>
<br />

Hi everyone!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Welcome back to another preview at <a href="http://sparklecreationsrubberstamps.blogspot.com/">Sparkle Creations</a>! Today we are previewing Mailbox Josh! Today is also Release Day so both <a href="http://www.sparklecreationsrubberstamps.com/">Crafting Emily and Mailbox Josh</a> are available for purchase at our online store!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As usual, I colored my image with Copic markers. I used Prismacolor pencil for the shadow on the floor this time. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Sentiment is my Papertrey Ink. <a href="http://www.sparklecreationsrubberstamps.com/">Mailbox Josh</a> is a great stamp for pretty much any occasion. I used him on this Holiday card because I am trying hard to work on my Christmas cards for this year! Christmas is just around the corner! Yikes! I am totally not ready!</div>

Is anyone ready for Thanksgiving? Black Friday? :) My family (maternal side) takes turn preparing Thanksgiving dinner. It's my turn this year and the entire family will be at my place. We now have a total of 27 in the family! I never roasted a turkey before and since I don't have a lot of time these days (especially lately), I've decided to order a ready-made. I do have glazed ham and roast beef on the menu as well. I will be busy cooking those, plus a few side dishes of course. Maybe I will try to roast a turkey for Christmas. :)<br />
<br />
Black Friday: Does anyone still go out and shop on this day? Most stores will be open Thanksgiving night, around 8:00. I don't plan to be out there that night but I will try to go early morning on Friday. My eldest niece (13) is very excited about it! She went with me last year and she had lots of fun! I don't have anything in particular I need to get. I just love to see the excitement, I guess.<br />
<br />
Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend ahead!<br />

Hello everyone!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's time for a new release at <a href="http://sparklecreationsrubberstamps.blogspot.com/">Sparkle Creations</a>! Today we are introducing you to <a href="http://www.sparklecreationsrubberstamps.com/">Crafting Emily</a>! There aren't too many crafting stamps out there so she's a must have! She reminds of us, don't you think? Well, except her desk is way neater! At least it is comparing to mine! My desk right now is a huge mess (this is always the case, by the way)!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I colored Emily with Copic markers. I used my neglected General's pastel chalk pencil for the shadow on the floor. The color is GRASS GREEN. I couldn't find any browns! lol I blended it with fantastix. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Papers are by Bo Bunny, Garden Girl Collection. Gems are by Recollection. Sentiment comes with Emily. There are actually three sentiments that come with this adorable stamp. Did you know that Sparkle Creation stamps are now scroll cut??!!</div>

On a personal note, we are screening for prospective tenants. We are hoping to have the house rented out by next month. We are pretty much done with remodeling the house. We just needed to clean it, like mop it! lol<br />
<br />
I find it quite interesting to meet different people with different needs, expectations when house hunting. I never rented so it's quite an experience having people come and check out our house!<br />
<br />
<br />
Well, that's all for now. I shall be back tomorrow with another Sparkle Creations preview! Thanks for stopping by and reading! <br />
