I've been Tagged!

So I admit, I love making gift tags! But I also LOVE being TAGGED!

Sweet Lesley had tagged me. Btw, she has such a cute blog. I really like her illustrations!

Here is the rules: Write 6 random things about myself, link the person who tagged you post the rules. Tag six people and link them. Let them know they have been tagged.

  1. My favorite food is fried chicken. But a side of chilli or 'sambal' is a must!
  2. I need my sleep. I can sleep anytime, anywhere in most cases. :-)
  3. I'd rather shop for supplies (papers, embellishment, glue, etc) rather than clothes and jewelries shopping.
  4. I love to travel. It's my dream to travel around the world.
  5. I don't like talking on the phone and try to avoid it if I can even though it's something that I really enjoyed doing it when I was a teenager.
  6. It's probably strange, but I'm not a fan of chocolate. I eat it when I feel like it, but I tend to say 'no thank you' when someone offers it to me.
So here are 7 bloggers that I'm tagging now:
Karina

Katherine

Rachel

Robin

Sue

Xylia

A Glimpse To Chinese New Year

To celebrate the Ox Year, we went for a dinner on the 25th. So many restaurants were booked for this event and the price hijacked as high as 400%. My dad-in-law insisted that we had to have a nice dinner as part of Chinese tradition. If I were him, I'll wait until the next day to have a nice dinner when the price would go back to normal.

The dinner started quite well until lion and/or dragon dance was performed. Ethan cried hysterically that we finally went back to the car and waited until it finished. What a night! An expensive dinner and yet we couldn't really enjoy it.

Since that day (until today), Ethan cries whenever he is in new (strange) places. A visit to a relative became a disaster too. I ended up waiting in the front yard and the in-laws had to cut the visit short. If you know ways for me to help him overcome his fears, please leave me a comment. I'll really appreciate it!

Here is my newest card. Yes, I'm still in love with bird and yes, with felt as well.

Tags...Tags and Tags

Just want to share with you some tags that I've been working on lately. I made a few batches at once and why didn't I think about that long time ago. Duh! But now I'm facing a new problem. I need to figure out away to store them in a way that nice to look at and at the same time well-organized. I'm running out of boxes too.


And look who is tagging the ant?

It looks that more and more of them in the backyard lately. I'm just afraid that Mocha will step on them while he's doing his business. I, myself, am not dare to walk in the backyard with Ethan for now. They're just everywhere.

Don't Kill Art, Please!

Aren't these cute??

This is a wrapping paper that I bought at a local market. I had a good laugh when I saw it the first time. It's a must have item.

Hm... I wonder what I can make with this. If you have a suggestion, feel free to leave me a comment. I really appreciate it.

So I *finished* a 2-page scrapbook layout for Ethan's album. I find it looks pretty simple. I'm not sure if I need to put more embellishments, what do you think?

Finishing the whole album seems to feel forever. It's still far to go, I sadly admit. But if I can do one page in every other day, I really make a progress. Perhaps, I'll start another page tonight. Or working on the same page?

I've been having custom orders lately for both of my stores, AdoreByNat and NatSupplies. Thank you so much for being a repeat customer. I'm so glad that my customers are doing well with their businesses that they have to order more supplies. It's no wonder though cause they do make great products.
