Ooohhh! Cute Wall Decals

These are cute! I’m definitely buying some for my daughter’s room. I know it doesn’t look like a stylish and posh decor from parisluxeapt.com for paris luxury apartments but yeah! we love cute!

Cute Wall Decals

I saw them at Gmarket {click on the link to visit the seller page}, the Korean version of Ebay and they do ship internationally. They have lots and lots of inexpensive wall decals and its sending my home decor mania into overdrive.

There’s a crazy number choices there. And I guess I won’t rest easy till I get a couple of this and decorate kiddo’s room. Maybe the mania will even extend to the living room, who knows.

 

Shop my ScrapSHOP!

Warning: this post is an unabashed plugging, okay?

There something I’ve been busy with, and in fact I’m not yet even halfway done with it. I’m blabbing about my Scrap SHOP here on my blog. You can see the link on the top right portion of the blog.

 Scrap SHOP, Scrapbooking Supplies Shop

What do I have there? All scrapbooking supplies! I’m not only mad about digi scrapping, I also love paper crafts and actual scrapbooking. And so I’ve created a small shop site where you can browse and find recommended scrapbooking supplies.

On the front most page of the shop, you can find a listing of all best selling, top rated, best deals and most wished for scrapbooking products on Amazon.

The I also have categories and pages for products I want to highlight. Please note that I’m not a direct seller. I’m simply aggregating my recommended products as well as consumer top rated products on Amazon for scrapbooking supplies. I think that would make your scrapbooking shopping easier.

Also each page would feature buying guides and tips, plus reviews of the products.

If you purchase your scrapbooking supplies on Amazon using my links, I’ll be really grateful. Haha! That would really add a lot in my quest for a more substantial enterprise data storage solutions for my files. Also, I’m hoping to save enough and get myself a newer computer machine to power up my graphic design software.

Crafty Finds: Gorgeous Earrings From Etsy

I wanted to get inspired today. Mainly because I’ve been thinking of several digi scrapping kit projects and I really really want some pretty inspirations. Whenever I’m in this mood I just wander over at Etsy.com and have my fill of the pretty. And of course, I got hooked on some pretty fabulous and crafty finds. How I wish I still make jewelry, I miss it sometimes, but I know I simply cannot fit it on my sched.

Here’s some really gorgeous earrings, I know some people prefer diamond earrings for women, but I do love different kinds of precious stones and handcrafted earrings on my jewelry box. And here’s just some that I wouldn’t mind having gracing my ears lol.

Crafting Resource: Beading Basics with Beadstyle

I think I’m getting back to being obsessed with beading. My sister, who’s getting married {she says..lol!} has been bugging me about how to find my ring size and stuff about wedding accessories. It has been about three years since I last touched my jewelry and beading tools and I think I must have missed it. But these are the things you don’t really forget, once you get hold of those pliers you just can’t help but think I wanna create this and that.

This got me really going and I found myself hopping on to one of my favorite sites for beading. I wanted to acquaint myself with the latest news and techniques for beading enthusiasts and what better place than the BeadStyle Magazine? I looooove this site. You get lots of tips and project ideas. It’s also a great idea to sign up for their newsletter for the latest updates.

You could explore their projects for free ideas or some with a minimal fee. Also their How-To’s page is really a great way for beginners to learn. And if you are in need of something, then their community of beading enthusiasts are just the persons to ask. Check out the site and before you know it, you’d be beading addicted, like me :) )!

Old Beading Hobby

I used to bead a lot. I made stuff for myself, my family until a lot of people wanted to buy what I made. When I was in the Philippines I actually made good money out of my beading hobby. I supplied some stores and also allowed them to re-brand my items. I wasn’t really keen on establishing my own name coz I knew I won’t be doing this for long and well be relocating soon.

But I did enjoy the tinkering bit until it got to a point that I felt like I was taking on too much and the creative juices ran out. But of all things I made, I kinda like the ones I made with leftover beads. hahaha Yeah, weird. I also love seed beading but I don’t think  I have the patience for that anymore.

Anyway, here some leftover bead art I made last time..
