Happy thursday!

Hi peeps, Once again, I have been meaning to post and now I am behind again lol! I just checked my last post and saw that I wrote that the week flew by...and this week has flown by as well..which is good because it's gonna be a long weekend =] Yayyyyyyy! Before heading to work this morning, I happened to glance at my desk and saw a cannister of all these old beads I had probably bought 10 years ago and never used them for anything...Right then and there I wanted to make a necklace I could wear to work because I had also purchased a while back, a set of necklace wires from good ol dollarama...I just took out the beads I like and voilá! 5 necklaces in 5 minutes lol...will be posting some photos....I've also been thinking that christmas is actually around the corner and want to make presents this year....will be posting stuff that I've made and how to make them =] In the mean time take care and stay tuned, Carezza

What to do with all these old beads? =]

Make some necklaces of course! lol

TGIF!!!

Yayyyy, it's friday! This week really flew by...lol...I want to say I've been busy doing laundry, cleaning out my closet, purging papers, organizing my scrapbook supplies lol but to be honest I've been so busy with watching one of my favorite korean dramas for the fourth time lol...it's actually about 25 hours! yikes! and I finished it in 4 days lol..I still laugh and cry when I watch it, and I've been getting my Lee Min Ho fix =]I realize that I can add pages and hope this will help organize my post...I've been starting a journal/scapbook and have been meaning to take photos of it...If I have any leftover scrapbook paper or if I see a magazine or newspaper clipping, or a tag from shirts and bags that I get, I stick it in there...lol whatever I think is cute..will be leaving some of my fave Boys over Flowers photos that I googled...Aza Aza Fighting, Gu Jyun Pyo and Jan Gun Di <3 !!!

You can actually wear the paper bow pins =]

Wish I had my friends with me right now to model them but I will have to do for now lol

Paper bow pins

Hi peeps, As promised here is how I made the paper bow pins =] Enjoy! Carezza

All this paper! lol what to do.....

What you need: -paper stalk...the paper stalk that I am using is 5x7..plain or patterned but you need to use thick paper, like scrapbook paper -scissors -bobby pins -mini plastic hair ties

Follow from left to right...hope it's an easy follow: -fold the paper in half length wise -using the scissors, cut it in half -each piece of paper should be folded in half -then starting at the closed end, fold it like you are making a fan -tie the elastic around 3 times in the middle...as long as it is not too tight and not to loose -then fan it out -place the bobby pin through the elastic in back of the bow

Tada! Bows galore lol

Happy tueday!

Hi lovelies, It is definetely a happy tuesday...I heard the great news that a good friend of mine had her baby girl this a.m! Yay! I'm a Tita again! Can't wait to meet her....I also had a great and busy weekend and the high is still there =] My hubby and his bros and sisters organized a surprise 75th birthday party for Tj's dad. He is an amazing and supportive Father in law =] He really was surprised =] TJ and I decided to spend some QT together on Saturday doing errands...we ended up at Bloor west street fest where one of a kind artists had their creative goodies for sale =] then we went to Kensington Market and walked around....peeps must be wondering why would you make some QT with the hubby, if you see him every day? lol well, our week is pretty hectic and we don't really spend as much time together as much as we'd like to lol One of the things that keeps us busy is doing what we love to do...lol and that is creating something lol..tj is a photographer and hat maker by passion..although he didn't go to school for it he persevered at learning and practicing his crafts , he is amazing at both =] well, I think he is =] I also like photography, scrapbooking, card making, and anything DIY that catches my eye...I have so much paper still and want to do something with them...I decided to make paper bows and put them on bobby pins...I'm not sure if it's because of Hello Kitty but I have an obsession with bows...I love them on clothes, as jewellry and hair accessories...lol stickers, anything with bows =] will be posting on how I made the paper bow pins through photos...I'd love to do a video but I'm still a little shy to do that =] lol Toodles for now, Carezza

Yayyyy it's wednesday!

Good Morning lovelies, Feeling a bit tired but feeling very happy =] Countdown to the weekend begins! Had a great dinner with awesome friends last night...we met through work and although we work on different teams and offices we try to meet up here and there and catch up....we've actually been planning a dinner get together for the longest time and after prolly 2 years of talking about it, we finally had an amazing dinner at Gail's home =]...I'm really trying to savour each day as the days are coming fast and I will be facing my 35th birthday...yikes...I get anxious thinking about it! lol age is sometimes irrelevant to me because I feel like I'm still 23! =p but when people ask how old I am or if I look at my passport and driver's liscence, I am brought back to reality....none the less, I feel good and happy today =] Have a wonderful Wednesday! Carezza

Happy monday =]

Hi peeps, I really don't like mondays but I'm trying to be positive about it lol...Feeling re-energized...it was once again a very busy weekend...I live in Greek town and each year they have a food festival in Greek town for 3 days...they close off the street and all the restaurants and boutiques come out and set out shop for everyone to taste and see their goods....It was actually still crazy even with the rainy weather...every year my friends meet up for it and hang out at my place for a bit to recuperate...will be posting pics in another post...lol this post is dedicated to my all time favorite Korean drama...I'm almost done and it will be my 6th time watching this drama ---> Personal taste <---- with Son Ye Jin and Lee Min Ho...I love these 2 together, they are sooooooooooooo adorable! Here is a photo of the two main characters! This post is short but I wanted to drop by to say hi =] Night night! Carezza

2 mini notebooks =]

Happy thursday! =]

Hi lovelies, Yay! The weekend is finally near =] One more day of work! Can't wait! I said in my last post (woah like yesterday!!! teheheheh I posted 2 days in a row! wohoo!)...that I will be posting photos of 2 notebooks I made out of scrapbook and computer paper....I still have alot of paper and need to think of what to do with them...any ideas? I'd like to stay some more but I need to sleep lol...so sleeeeeepppyy! Toodles for now! <3 Carezza

I had to add in my HK lomo in there...lol I happened to just saw it on my shelf and forgot I had it...now I won't lol...which reminds me, I have to go and develop some film!

This is some of the paper I used to make the notebooks =]

I used a seam ripper to punch in 2 holes and used crochet string to bind the paper together.

feeling the love =]

Hi peeps =] Today...well I guess, it's yesterday now, was a happy day for me...a feel good day...I got some compliments today on some stuff that I made...I always feel shy accepting compliments and because I'm sometimes unsure of myself, it feels great hearing positive feedback...lol not that I can't take negative or constructive comments...I can because I am my own worst enemy lol..I would be the one thinking "it's not good enough"... There is really so much I want to do...I have so many ideas, I don't know where to begin...lol...will continue posting some of my photography, photos of stuff I've made, and ideas inspired by amazing creative individuals.... A friend that I've recently met through a good friend of mine is moving to fabulous NYC..as a little remembrance of Toronto and the good times, I quickly made a mini scrapbook...I got the chipboard from winners for only $2...they are also available through the makers' website, www.want2scrap.com....although it is $9....It's all about winners I tells ya! I have tons and tons of paper, stickers, jewels, cutouts, fabric tape, ribbons...etc...and although I'd like to buy more...especially when you find a great deal, like Martha Stewart scrapbook paper for only $4.99 at Marshalls and is normally selling for $20, you can't go wrong! lol but I restrained myself and vow to use as much of the paper that I have before I start buying more.... Speaking of paper...I was trying to figure out what other projects, I can do with all the paper...I ended up making 2 little notebooks with scrapbook paper and computer coloured paper...will be posting some photos as well.... I guess this is it for now....lol so sleepy...I was gonna wait to post until tomorrow...but why wait when you can do it now? lol...my feeble attempt at NOT procrastinating! Night night luveez, Carezza
