M.I.A!

so the last time i posted was like 3 weeks ago?? they got super strick at work and blocked all kinds of websites on our computers. unfortunely blogs happened to be one of them! i've actually made a lot of things within the last 3 weeks...! i had my very good friend nye's bday at work. also my co-worker cecilia and i threw a baby shower for our very good friend hilda for the arrival of her baby boy nathaniel aka nathan!

when i have more time i will update with some pics =P

altered grocery bag

hehe over the weekend, mike and i was at food 4 less and i saw their reusable grocery bag 2 for $0.99! i was so excited. but i only bought 2. cuz i wanted to test it out first.

so this is how the bag looks like.

this is after i altered it.

cookie goodie bags

i'm loving using my eurosealer! it's awesome.

i'm off for 3 days this week. work made me used my vacations. half the year has gone by and i still had over 50% of my vacations left. so i have 5 day weekend. woulda been nice to go somewhere but i'm poor. so i've been home doing nothing.

today i made some oatmeal chocolate chip cookies and made cookie goodie bags for my friends! sorry to the irvine/sd friends. haha

individual bag for the awesome boyfriend


for mike, the mais, sally, wendy, and rony

hope you guys enjoyed the cookies!

altered projects

yesterday i was at walmart and that place has EVERYTHING. in my friend rony's word "they even sell target!"

right now everyone is going green and using the recycable bags. so walmart sells theirs for only $1! and they had a black oneeee. so i bought it!

this is how the bag looks like.

but i altered it by covering with felt letters(oh btw! the cricut does not cut felt! i was absolutely sad! maybe with a deep cut blade?) i cut the letters with the circut on paper and then stapled it to felt to cut around it and used a hot glue gun to glue to.

i made this for my co-workers daugther...

another cheap thing at walmart, they have their summer items with the colorful plates and cups and all kinds of other stuff. their cups were on sale... a pack of 4 for $1! i bought 2 packs and made pen cups for my co-workers. a ribbon and some letters cut out with my DON JUAN cartridge, of course!

bruno's last day

so today is bruno's last day...!

we decorated his desk a carnival theme... since he's from brazil. nye did such a good job. i helped with the balloon arch.

hehe i invested in a $8 bag sealer! use a 20% of coupon at bed, bath, and beyond.

using the eurosealer... i made him a brownie goodie bag. it says "happy birthday" on the top, "congratulations" on the bottom and "good bye" in the middle.

i put it in a gift basket.

this is the top.

supplies tub & cake box decor

so my friend nye(desk roommate haha) at work decorate a lot of people's desk for their birthdays. the steamers, balloons, and ribbons were taking up one of her drawers. so she said she needed something put all that away so her drawer can be free. so i got her a tub from ikea and use DON JUAN to cut out cardstock to stick it on there. i just put "supplies" in case she needed to use it for something else.



it's someone's birthday at work and nye had asked me if i can make something for her. normally i make cupcakes but that takes too much effort and i was working way too much over time to be doing that. so i said i'd make something that takes me the least time... chocolate dipped strawberries!

i got a cake box and decorated with strawberry cutouts from my indie art cartridge...! i think that's the first time i used it. i even used layers and shadows.... i'm getting better with my cricut!


these are actually white chocolate dipped strawberries. but they had red candy melts! the theme is strawberry shortcake so we thought it would be cute to do red. but the flavor is really vanilla like white chocolate!

frame for bruno

i'm so excited that i got the new don juan cartridge! i absoutely love the fat bubbly letters! i bought it from someone on ebay for $30. it was missing the booklet but it was ok because i never read it anyway...!

so from my previous entry... my old boss/friend is leaving california and going back to new jersey. we got into a lot of arguments the past couple of months BUT i defintely didn't want him to leave on bad terms. even my mom told me not to be mad at him any more. and i haven't been since the 4th of june. lol.

anyway i made this frame for him so he can put it on his new desk in jersey! used the don juan cartridge and cuttle bug to emboss the letters and the background. the pictures... i cut it by hand with those pretty scissors.

wedding day "survival kit"

my friend/old boss bruno is getting married in august and not only is he getting married...! he's leaving california and moving back to jersey!

i made his fiance chrissy or christina a wedding day survial kit or essentials! i used a paint can from home depot and covered it pretty with cardstock and ribbons.
