Merry Christmas :)

How is everyone's Christmases going so far? :)
Hope everybody's having a good time because I am.
Feel so grateful to be in the company of my family and such great friends.

Did you guys get a lot of gifts? :p What did you get? :)

Here's a sneak peak at one of the presents I got for my mom:

I Made Some Stuff...

I gave them to my BFF's :P

Bear Cell Phone Charm

Flower Hair Pins

Feather Earrings with Crystals and Suede

My summer holiday is finally coming to an end after this week but it was fun and I had plenty of time to relax. Hopefully this energy and enthusiasm will last me until Christmas! :P

Man, has it been that long already though? I noticed that blogger has a new interface. I'm barely trying to get used to it. I must admit that the design looks more modern and clean. I also like how I can see all of my blogger buddy's posts better.

Have you guys switched to using the new interface already?
Liking it? :P

Crafts: DIY Bow for Gifts/Presents/Wrapping Using Magazine Paper

Whenever I want to relax and calm my mind from stress, I turn to crafting. Lately, we have been celebrating quite a few birthday parties this summer and sometimes we run out of bows whenever we wrap gifts. I'm so glad I learned how to make my own from Jessica Jone's blog, How About Orange (her tutorial: here).
They're so addicting!

I think that the magazine paper really adds a unique touch.

Maybe I will experiment using other types of paper as well. :3

What do you think?

Would you mind if your gifts were decorated with bows made out of magazine paper? :p

Shopping For Birthday Gift

Not my birthday... :P I wish! :P
We went to Sephora and bought some Hello Kitty stuff.
We got the  Hand Held Mirror <--- This is super cute!
and the Hello Kitty Memoirs Of A Kitty Cosmetic Bag.
Hahahha! I love that name. :p So cute. I was a bit disappointed with the way the makeup bag looked though -__- On the website, the bag looks all cute but in real life some of the "branches" are sloppily painted/printed on there.. some of the branches aren't even painted on fully so I thought it was blood or dirt at first glance since it was brown too. -__- Each bag has unique "branch" prints on them so I tried to choose the one that looked the best though. Maybe I can try to make it look better by adding a few more gifts inside. :P It definitely needs it!

I hope she still likes these though. :) Wish she would have wanted the Memoirs Of A Kitty Palette because it looks so pretty. I really like the jade bow.

That's all we got so far for birthday-gift-shopping! :3

For myself, I got a graphic tee from Wetseal. It was only 8 bucks. :3
