Valentine's Tags

Happy Monday!
I hope you had a great weekend.
Mine was pretty nice. I had a chance to spend 2 full days with DH and Ethan, pretty much spending the time at home and relaxing and ended it with a family dinner last night with my parents, sister and her daughter to celebrate the Lunar New Year.

Today, I'm anticipating that my replacement printer to arrive on time. It'd better be today as I have tons of pending orders to complete. Yes, my printer died on my last Thursday. *sigh* Thank goodness that it's still covered under the 1 year manufacture warranty. I can tell you that I'll be working until late at night tonight to meet deadlines. I do love what I do, so no worries about it.

By the way, Valentine's day is just around the corner. Have you gotten your Valentine cards and tags for your loved ones? I have a few in my shop, so if you don't have time to make yours and really want to have one-of-a-kind handmade cards and tags, be sure to check my shop out.

Star Wars Lego Party

Happy Tuesday!

I originally created these Star Wars Party Line for a sweet customer of mine. How I'm glad that I was up to the challenge, Thanks J! :-)

Late last year, I started to offer these on my Etsy shop and I have been having a great response. It's one of popular themes for birthday party or baby shower.

So, if you are looking for Star Wars Favor Tags, Cupcake Toppers, Invitations, Food Cards, Thank You Notecard, and Banner, don't hesitate to contact me.

Firsts in 2012

Gosh, it has been over a month that I haven't showed myself up in the blog world. This is my first post in 2012. As some of you know, we went for a month vacation to Taiwan and Indonesia. I thought I would just relax while being in overseas. It turned out, we've been quite busy running around, going out with friends and family, one mall to the other, and excessively enjoying the foods! A month went by too fast.

So here I am, back in Canada, back to the routines with some plans cooking up :-) We're up to something and I can't share that just now.

It snowed on the weekend, the first snow of the year. I heard that there is a snowfall warning on Wednesday, a heavy one. I just hope that we still can go out as I have errands to run that day and there is no time to slow down.

Sunny and snow is a good combo. It's just beautiful. And the smile of my little one makes the day just super perfect!

Taipei, Taiwan - December 2011


We stayed in Taipei, Taiwan for 3 nights. It's too bad that it was cloudy and rained the entire time we were there.

Unlike most tourists, we did not go to those attraction sites that are normally suggested such as Memorial Halls and Temples. Instead, we went to places where most Taiwanese go on a day-to-day basis.Night market is one of the examples. We really enjoyed the foods and drinks: stinky tofu, noodle soups and bubble teas. Authentic as is. Shopping is fun and inexpensive. Gotta love that, right?



So we thought let's go to at least ONE recommended tourist site, and we chose Taipei 101.



They had Coral Arts Exhibition. I was in awe.


The details are impressive. The fact that these corals are hard to get makes them very expensive.




I wish we had more time to spend in Taiwan and explore more what it offers. Maybe next time.
