  • Feb 9, 2014

I’ve been living in my current condo for over a year now. I’ve moved so many times in my life. I’ve had 12 addresses in my lifetime! I’ve never really effort to make any place I live in a home. As long as I had a bed and a microwave, I was all good to go.

My fambam was over for the holidays. This time, my Dad wanted to turn the condo into a home. By that, he meant replacing furniture, installing light fixtures, and adding decoration.

I captured some of the changes on instagram. How do you think we did?

My Love Affair with Color

  • Crafts
  • Sep 7, 2013

Realization: I have a love affair with color.

I love to have anything that will satisfy my hunger for color. The ability to combine the perfect hues or shades sparks creativity even more. If I love something, I end up buying it in many (or all available) colors.

A lesson to most of you: Use what you buy. “Sayang!” is not an excuse to hoard and just store! Make!

Morning Coffee

  • Random
  • Sep 6, 2013

My day doesn’t officially start until I’ve had some coffee. Since I started working from home, I’ve consistently been brewing my own cup (or two). I’m a self-proclaimed addict, and it’s been my lifelong dream to own my own cafe. Until that day comes, I’m content with being my own barista.

I brought back a few bags of Kaladi Brothers Coffee whole beans.

I grind my own beans each morning.

My current espresso machine can’t quite steam milk anymore, so I’ve been having iced coffee the last few months.

Yum!

So what starts off your day?

One whole wall of my childhood bedroom was shelving for books. I had hundreds of them: the entire Mr. and Little Miss collection, Dr. Seuss books, a set of encyclopedias, a set of medical encyclopedias, BSC books, Choose Your Own Adventure books, and even ones I wrote, printed and bound myself.

My room was a library with a bed. Each book was carefully labeled as mine. At some point, I even instituted a library and borrower’s card system to make sure books were not lost when people borrowed them.

My mom came up with a (not so) secret method of marking each and every one of my books. Don’t you dare claim that book is yours, because I know how to prove it’s mine! To this day, I still flip to Page 45 of my books. Here’s a peek at the last few books I got from her.

Invitations and the color Pink

  • Random
  • Jan 18, 2013

Last year, I found myself crating a bunch of simple invitations and other party printables for family and friends. As I was compiling them, I noticed that it had a common theme: PINK, my least favorite color in the world.

Fiskars and Features

  • May 17, 2012

At 6:38 yesterday morning, a box was delivered to my condo. My Alaska family sent over a box filled with goodies. Pretzel M&M’s. More cupcake liners. And this!

My mom sent me a Fiskars Shapeboss Ultimate Embossing System! I’m too excited for words! I wish I had gotten the box sooner. Not having internet at home for 4 days now has driven me to do non-wired things at home.

I see scrapbook paper abuse in my future.

On another note, Thanks to Candy Magazine and Macy for featuring me!
