Love Day!!!

I had a very very lovely Valentine's Day =^__^= The Friday before Valentine's Day, I baked with my boyfriend :] We baked strawberry banana heart shaped tiny cakes ^.^!!! I ate some of the ones I thought looked retarded xD! I have an oven now...but no mixer T~T chu! Anywho, while boyfriend frosted the cuppy cakes, I made my Valentine cards for my friends ^___^ I bought a Hello Kitty pack xD! It's hard to pass up a $1 good quality Hello Kitty thingy! haha. Besides, last year, I made my friends paopus...so now this year, something edible ^__^ Here are some piccys!


They're yummy-er than it looks ^_^; If you remember my old first cake charms, it's based on my boyfriend's mom's cake she makes a lot :]


Annnnd here's their Valentine's :D

After all the baking and frosting and card making, we packed up the cupcakes and drove all around the area to deliver to my friends ^_^ All my single close friends get a cake to themselves, while couples have to share =P lol.
The day of Valentine's Day, my boyfriend and I decided to join his aunt's little party that she wanted to try. She wanted to do a backyard romantic dinner theme ^__^ So off we were to L.A.!

Once we got to his aunt's house and through the gates and CC the Pomeranian (heehee, my puppy's aunt), this is what we had to stroll on to get to the main area:



I decided not to use flash for the camera because it kinda ruins the mood ^__^; but here's a snap shot with flash!

Kinda looks bleh, but it shows what they used :] The lights were pretty dim and full of candles and rose petals ^__^ Lookie the ceiling thingy:

pretty cool, huh? This was all in the backyard ^___^ Now the fooood!!!

The food was all home made and oh so delish!!! There was roasted chicken, roasted pork, scampi, bread, and this sweet and tangy salad (I didn't get salad). The food was so scrumptious and tender ^___^ Then the best part...DESSERT!!! oh yes oh yes oh yes! Here's pics of the table of desserts...in two shots!


So much! And here's a picture of my boyfriend's and my little dessert :]

I certainly love love loooove the tuxedo chocolate covered strawberries made by his mommy ^__^ So cute! And the tart is so delicate and yummy!

:] I'm glad she made this theme! It's so romantic and I love the bonding ^___^

Theme Parties!

I really enjoy theme parties. Never really been to many except Hawaiin themes. Last year my friends threw me a birthday party :] and I chose the theme of 80s! Because it was uberly last minute! Heehee. It was so much fun. Decorations were hand made and some borrowed from friends like a Transformer's poster. There were 80's candies that me and my bf were lucky enough to find at 99cent stores and Universal City Walk x] We even watched some 80's movie. My close friends don't throw huuge parties, more like just our group. I love themes ^_^ Here are some photos :D It's not like SUPER accurate of the 80's (like the video games we played or food):





This year, we've planned it out more better. This year's theme is Victorian/Rococo/Sunday's best dress tea party =^___^= chuuuu! *jumps up and down* I'm excited! It's not very accurate as well, but hey, with friends, anything is fun :3

Swap Party

This isn't a very Etsy or seller related topic, but I thought I'd share it. I held a swap party last weekend with some chick friends ^__^ The goal was to clean out our rooms and bring any stuff that is in good condition and you didn't need. It could be clothes, accessories, whatever. So the girls came and we had some snacks. We piled all the stuff unto a table and just grabbed whatever we wanted =] It was neat! I got some cool earrings a friend didn't want, and I plan to wamp it up to sale. She knows my motives xD Atleast it's going to be put in good use! I also got these cute jumbo nerdy glasses and a Hello Kitty shirt! I think anyone who needs to get rid of stuff they don't need, a swap party is an awesome way to get rid of things! heehee, you give some, you get some ^__^

On another note, I'm sad my boyfriend is leaving me for Mexico for a family vacation xD I'm such a selfish girl! I haven't been not calling, txting, seeing him like crazy for the past week or two,lol. He leaves next Thursday. He sucks.

Better happy note, I made Hello Kitty earrings! I'll have more made during school time. But these are my only ones so far:

Something new in le Etsy Shoppee

Sooo...I made a new category ^_^ It is called, "Weekly Special" where I list an item for a week or two and have something special about it like BOGOF, Free Shipping, lowered price, etc. Yay! Been 1 month of being a seller on Etsy and made 8 sales! It sounds a lot to others, so I believe I did well =] Can't wait till July...MAJOR SUPPLY SHOPPING!

By July, I'll be working on hime goodies :D because I've always wanted to. I'll be making quite a number of things because school will be hectic again~! In celebration of being an Etsy seller for a month, I'm giving away a special secret item that I've made related to deco hime stuff! These items will be released mid-late July ^__^ hooray!
