Buttons

Rachel, my wonderful friend and carpool buddy special requested a card of Rookie (her Maltese). Rookie's card did not have the bows since she is more of a tomboy. So here is my attempt of Buttons. The nose actually is popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals (104430). Card stock colors ~ Whisper White and Basic Black.

I had a ton of fun teaching this last weekend. The popsicle cards are great for your summer invitations, summer birthdays so have to share that idea before summer is over.

New Website

Just finished watching Game 3 of Lakers vs Magic. Sigh. I am slightly bummed that we didn't win Game 3, but it is an away game and I thought we did EXCELLENT since we fought to the last second.

I bought my domain name just seconds ago. The website will be www.GoodiesFromScratch.com. I will send out another post once it is up and running. I decided to invest on a domain name because a friend of my mom's called me lunch break today asking me information about my classes. I told her the information will be posted on my blog. And while I was spelling out my blog address for her, I realized that it was way too long. The ending of blogspot.com was spelled out with b for boy, l for larry, o for orange and g for girl. Yes, it was pretty bad. Chris, my good friend, was laughing at me throughout the day. He basically said the address is too long and inconvenient. As for Chris, he designed his own clothing line called Attic Junky. I have couple of his shirts and totally LOVE them. Please check out his site.

More updates to follow :)

June 6, 2009 ~ Workshop

I demonstrated in the first workshop today!!! I think it went pretty well :) The class was hosted by good friend Jen. She was kind enough to feed us pita chips, hummus (4 different flavors from Trader Joe's), and CHEESECAKE! It was very yum.

I spent hours preparing for the class. The attendees were veteran stampers and I wanted to be adequate in their eyes. Cutting out all cards, pieces of embellishments, creating instructions sheets (so they can recreate the projects), packaging took hours but it was worth it. I had a really good time at the workshop. I was pretty nervous in the beginning but the girls were so cool that I got over that pretty quickly. A lot of ideas were shared in our 4 hours. Yup, 4 hours!!! There is just a lot to say about stamping :) Here are some pictures and can't wait to for next class in July! I better start planning early...

Quotes

Hi hi!
A lot of my friends tonight were questioning what to write inside our handmade cards. Well, for those of us who have little to say, I find this site very helpful http://brainyquote.com
The site has so many good quotes for you to add in your cards! While checking the site out, this quote caught my attention.

If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning: just as, if there were no light in the universe and therefore no creatures with eyes, we should never know it was dark. Dark would be without meaning.
C. S. Lewis

So wise :) I also shared another quote by C.S. Lewis with my sis. I hope that in time, her heart will be soften.

Here is another source for you http://www.greetingcardmessages.com/.
