Valentine’s Day is only a few days away. Just in case you were looking for more ideas, I thought I’d share just a few more. I’m always a sucker (no pun intended!) for mustache crafts, so of course I loved these mustache and lips lollipops when I first saw them over at Blonde Designs. I made them two years ago for Susu’s and Suraya’s classmates. The mustache and lips were [...]
On Wednesday I participated in another Anthropologie workshop. This time it was a gift basket making workshop. I wasn’t sure what to expect from this one or what it included, but nevertheless I figured it’s Anthro so it’s worth checking out. There were a lot more attendees at this event than the last one I attended. At our arrival, we were greeted with hot chocolate, juices, and an assortment of [...]
Wishing you and your loved ones a happy and blessed Thanksgiving!
A few weeks ago Anthropologie had holiday vignette workshops at some store locations. I thought how fun would that be so I joined the workshop at the store in my area. Boy, I’m so glad I did!

Participants duty: Making the fur that will be [...]
Thanksgiving is one of my most favorite times of the year.

Every year my mom makes Thanksgiving dinner and we all gather at my parents’ house, except last year for the first time, I made the dinner because my mom was out of town. Yup, I sure did! And surprisingly I made one heck of [...]
Earlier this year (yup, the kid plans ahead!), Suraya decided she wanted to be something “scary” (as she puts it) for Halloween. That something scary is a zombie bride… and I liked that idea! As I was searching for ideas, I came across this Corpse Bride costume over at Family Ever After. I loved it, so decided to use it as the inspiration for Suraya’s costume. First thing on the [...]
Do you have the Booing tradition in your neighborhood… or if you live in a condo like I do, does your condo building Boo? The condo building I live in didn’t Boo until last year. After hearing about all the fun my sister’s neighborhood has Booing each other, I thought why not start the tradition in my building. So that’s exactly what I did last year… and it was a booing success! In case this [...]
