1/4 Century & Birthday Freebies

This is my super belated (a month tomorrow) birthday post.
I feel old but seriously I'm still 12 inside :P. I love cute things and watch animated movies.
I've been watching some Dexter's laboratory clips lately :D.

Life of a nursing student really doesn't leave much room for free-time. I am back dated on many posts -_-" sorriez. Now that I have finished my final preceptorship I can take a breather and blog about birthday freebies.

For my birthday this year, and for the first time ever I took advantage of several birthday freebies.
The usual discussion around birthdays are "where are these free things and ice cream everyone talks about?"

Some people may prefer not to subject themselves to free gifts from others lol but I see no harm in indulging in money saving, tummy filling activities on your birthday.

I started my day by going to Boston Pizza for some free pasta.

Not too mention it was huge...I was stuffed after half and saved the rest for my day shift at the hospital.

More about birthday freebies after the jump....

Yummy Glass Pendants

I saw these amazingly shiny glass beads at the art store so I couldn’t resist and bought 2 strings to play with.
Each string only came with 8 :(.


These glass beads remind me of stretched candy sugar but I think they are call cat eye beads which are also referred to as fiber-optic beads as they change hue depending on light reflection.

I wasn’t sure what to do with them then but they were just too pretty.

So this is what I came up with.

What do you think?

Ps. I later went on a crazy shopping binge at the art store but that’s another post :D.
More after the jump!

Squishy Cream Tarts

I've made many things in the past 2 months but just haven't gotten around to taking pics of them so I will have a few back dated posts in the near future.

Here is one of them! 

They are Squishy Cream Tarts with bows!

They so so real I want' to eat them! 

Don't you agree!

At Last It's MINE!

So over the weekend, I found a really good deal on a stand mixer.

Something I've wanted for a while now...so its not exactly an impulse buy *shifty eyes *

I had to buy it...besides I have to prep for wedding cake :D.

Here's my new toy!

Shhhh...my mom doesn't know about it yet lol...

I'm gona break it to her slowly... currently hiding it in my room...

It is quite a massive piece of kitchen equipment~!

but who can live without one right. I've had enough of the hand mixer forever!

Look Pea look what I bought!... Silver Spray...not sure how it will look but I'm excited :D.

Heart centered donuts?! yup!

I made a new twist on my squishy donut charms :D

Which color looks best?
I really do love them :D

So what's the surprise you say?

2 Carrot Earrings

This week has been super busy. Still feeling overwhelmed about aspects of my term project and I have a paper coming up. A lit review ><... as if the paper isn't bad enough now I need to come up with the best known evidence -_-".

In less than a year I should be done school! I can't wait for that day! Though after all my research on novice to expert tells me I'm in for the worst... the year after I grad.  I'll try not to worry about it until I get there. But it excited as I am to be out of school. I'm not sure I'm ready for the what comes next. Hopefully, I can always run to my crafts and this blog as my happy place!

This summer has been the year of weddings/engagements as it seems....and it makes me think....about diamonds *sparkle* *sparkle*. Since I can't afford 2 carat diamonds I decide I could own the next best thing. 2 Carrot Earrings :D. Check it out below. Larger carrots pair or the small fat ones?

PB and J

Hi everyone!

I realize I don't talk about my life much in this blog. Mainly because I don't want to bore you with all the details and I thought It should focus on crafts...but there is not much to say about my crafts because really the pictures say it all lol and maybe If I put my crafts into the context of my life then you can see what I'm really like. Besides some weeks (or shall I say most) I don't have time to get into my crafts and hence I don't end up posting very often and hence leads to lack of interest for readers.

I'm not sure what you guys would like to see on this blog.
I'm open to suggestions and Ideas. If you see something cool on the web send me the pic or link and I'll attempt to craft it and post my endeavors.

I remember the days when I used to spill my heart out on xanga  and had lots of friends who blogged too but they have all grown out of xanga blogs and now just stalk each other over facebook haha or chat via MSN, skype or texting. I miss the days where everyone had a blog :D. Here I am after so many years (like 7ish...Omg)  trying to blog again.

Its difficult to blog, as I'm not naturally good at capturing audiences, but I must admit that I am better at expressing myself in writing's than in spoken conversations. I sometime draw a blank and can't articulate what I want to express face to face...I see it as most people get writer's block but I get speech block...-_-". Is it just me?

Enough words?! Time for a picture.

This is my attempt at PB +J

two ways I tried to make toast...I like the Left one

I attempted to make some PB and J toast recently.

I figured if I made a sandwiched...then you can't really see the Peanut butter or the jelly. 

Yay or nay?
