HEELLLLOOOO!

Hello everyone!

I've spent the last couple of days working on orders, baking 108 cookies, not including the 5 batches of macarons that I tossed because they all came out horrible for some reason.


^ That's about... 2/3 of how many cookies I had, the rest were packed ready to be shipped off to family friends, and blogger friends :)

I'm finishing up all the US orders right now-- anything I ship from now on, if you ordered on or before the 14th, will be shipped to you via PRIORITY MAIL, on me-- because I promised you were getting it for Christmas!

I've also worked on a couple of new pieces these last few days-- earrings and charms :)
Super cute, high quality flower connectors from SWAROVSKI:






and a pretty high quality charm:


Floral Radiance w/ hearts are back-- finally had the chance to restock, with a little prod from a customer ;)


Only a quick update this time, I'll be back later with some more reviews---- I do have a tons of stuff I want to review ahh!

Oh yea, chances are, if you place your order within the next 2 days (and you live in the US!), you'll still get your order by Christmas =)

Also realized-- WOW I've hit 600 followers! This will be a opportunity for another giveaway :)
Will plan that out soon!

love,

GIANT update! CHARMS! =) Origami Butterflies, love package =)

Firstly, thank you RINA for your amazing love pack (as usual, her love packs are always amazing).

LOADED with Sanrio goodies! (There was a lip gloss I forgot to include in the photograph, oops) I LOVE THE NERD POUCH. I'm thinking of either using it as a pencil case, or more likely, making a wrist strap for it and converting it to a clutch!
There are also TONS of MBD diary masks, omg! Plus... DOLLY WINK EYELINER!! AHHH! I've been meaning to try these out, and I'm so  happy that I have the opportunity to. THANK YOU, RINA!
Go check out her blog HERE. She'a a fellow talented crafter (She crochets, as well as makes these FRICKEN adorable sock piggies!)

Ah... My week of hell is over! 2 presentations, 1 big project, 1 paper. ALL DONE WITH MUAHAHAHAH.
I'm so relieved and happy right now! I finally have a couple of days to sit down and work on everyone's holiday orders. Finals will be next week, but it won't be as bad as this week, I don't think... I'll officially be done with this quarter next friday night!

For those of you who have placed orders recently Thank you so much for you patience! I know everyone is anxiously awaiting their orders, and I'm working very hard to get them sent out ASAP!

Over the last week, I haven't really been able to dedicate any set amount of time toward doing jewelry-- but whenever I need a break from something, I'd sit down, do a little, and over this period... it was really accumulated.

After my last class yesterday afternoon, I was able to sit down and take photos, edit, upload them onto the website. It was an 8-hour process, haha--- didn't finish till this morning :X

I've been getting a surprising number of emails from ladies who have known me since Soompi days recently! They have requested that I start making phone charms more (I used to make tonssssssss of those!)-- but I've been so busy that I haven't had the chance to order any phone straps! I finally made the effort to make an order of 100 last week, so now, I have plenty of charms to share with you all!!

Based off the popular gemstone coin earrings:


.. a random crystal I was unable to find any other use for... this is a huge, HUGE SWAROVSKI moon in moonlight charm. It's the size of a regular pegasus: 3 cm in length!


This is a genuine gemstone charm:

A bit more high end, but it's stunning.

A small wild heart cluster charm:


Another gemstone charm:


Plain star:


Cute, feminine charm:


Sultry!


And the following two charms are kind of different from what you're used to seeing-- I basically took the designs for one of my feather earrings, and turned it into a charm. I REALLY like the result:


Really gives your phone some extra flair =)

Bringin' the Moon Princess dangles back, but in GOLD this time =)


Earrings inspired by peacock feathers:


Christmas tree earrings!


These were the studs that I gave away on Cyber Monday:

I have extras left over (bought about 40 pairs, gave away only 10 pairs so far), so I decided to sell them: 3 pairs for $15 shipped!

And here's a necklace:


And finally, I had some time to work on these over the last week. It took longer than usual to  make because I had been so busy. The 3-day process turned into a 5 day process, oh well!
Origami butterfly earrings:










I leave you with..

A ghastly photo of me doing a He Qi Clay facial-- my skin always feels super smooth afterwards!

Thank you for stopping by! I hope you enjoy looking at the items I've posted.
I do have some things lined up I want to talk about:
- Dolly Wink liquid eyeliner review
- I'm approaching 600 followers: once I hit it, that means I'm having another giveaway!
Meanwhile, enter the Holiday giveaway, link on sidebar!
There's also another coupon code on the promos page =)

My Giant Bug Bite, Surprise Hello Kitty Charms

I've always been really sensitive to bug bites. But this is kind of ridiculous.





Dude, that's 3 inches. Of swelling. It itches like no other. I've got 3 other bites-- all on my arms :(. None of them as bad as this one. But all are swollen, haha.

Anyway, I was cleaning my room today, and I threw away a lot of old, plastic beads... but look what I found:



Those of you who know me from SOOMPI will know I sold these over the passed few years just by themselves. I've decided to bling them up with some SWAROVSKI Crystals. They're all mostly only $6 each, and only one of each available! So get them quickly =). They make great presents!


I also have some GLASS BLOWN charms that I have up. They're SUPER high quality!
Get them HERE. Many more coming in the next week! I've seriously got like, a hundred of these charms sitting around. They were hidden, and now they're found, yay!

Finalized this Victorian Necklace. This is going to be my new thing =).
But making these are time consuming (2 hours +), so I'm not sure how many I'll be able to make. I love these though. Really stunning jewelry.

You see cheap versions like this everywhere, but I wanted to make a good one for myself :X. So I have one myself, and this one is up for sale!

And a flower cluster charm. Clusters are my thing =)
I've been in a cluster phase for over a year now, and still haven't gotten over it yet :X
