B-day weekend over ;(

WOW!

Birthday month passed by so quickly!

soooooo what have I been up to? 

I finally finished my invites for my B-day crop (in NOV)

I'll give more details after the party :)

I made Labels for the envelopes using the cricut

and I stamped the image using Hero Arts cupcakes set :)

and I also made Labels for these:

They are for THIS:

 

It was the "Birthday treat" I brought in for my students (and co-workers) at school

It didn't work as well as I thought first time around

BUT 2nd time I was able to make about 8

I thought I was going to be whipping them out like they do at the carnival....

yeah.... UNFORTUNATELY that was not the case, 1 it took like 1/2 hour to warm up

and 2 it starts going cuckoo crazy (shaking) after 2/3 spoons of sugar

you can only pour in 1 spoonful of sugar at a time

Its definitely made for a little party or if your just craving cotton candy at home

What I really liked though was that it was super easy to clean

The candy floss just melted, I was pretty worried that was going to be difficult

SO glad it wasn't though :)

Heres a pic of a happy customer :)

That size took us like 15 min after it heated up to make :)

{thats my cousin Abigail}

 

Before my B-day comes my dads B-day

we went to Papadeux I've never been there before

I had my first encounter with "alligator"

NOT a fan really eeeeeekkk.

I got this deliciousness right here :)

  the TITAN SHRIMP platter is SUPER YUMMY!

Oh and we shared this dessert trio

The Creme Brulee was delish

BUT the bread pudding made me a new fan :)

  MR brought me mint choc chip ice cream cake :)

and he sent  this deliciousness at work

I think white choc with pineapple is my new FAVORITE!!!

(that's what the ghost was)

I LOVE Edible Arrangements :)

The parentals bought me these swarovski bangles I wanted

This pic absolutely does not do it any justice

its super BLINGY! {you guys know how much I love to bling LOL

and look at this cute NL I got too!!!

Heres a closer pic of the little Birdie

Isn't that sweetest little necklace?

SO adorable

and Saturday I went to Gold Class Cinemas

I've been wanting to go for a long time

It recently opened in a new outside mall complex

I heard such good things about it

when I went in I was super impressed!

There's a lounge

A bar... that I didn't get to take a pic of :(

A fireplace

I was choosing from the menu...

the blue cheese chips was super YUMMY!!! I promise :)

If you love Blue Cheese totally a must have...($13 bucks though)

The SEATS are SUPER comfy!!!

it practically turns in to a twin bed!!!

we saw Law Abiding Citizen such a good movie!

totally kept my interest at peak :)

This weekend was so much FUN!

Oh and I received a surprise package from my super creative BLOG friend AMY

I LOVE the MM Sabrina line :)

and of course there's a little hedgie on there

AMY always send me the cutest hedgie links!

 

Look at whats inside

What a CREATIVE idea!!!!

and of course an adorable card

I've been so jealous of her loopy punch

and yesterday while in michaels

I was running errands & I went to Michaels to get some lollipop sticks

and I checked for the Loopy punch (I check everytime I go...)

I've only been in search for it for the past 4 months lol....

and GUESSSSSS what i found?

YAhoooooooooeyyyy! It almost felt like I found the golden ticket!

it was the last one on the shelf

I snagged it so fast I almost wanted to jump up & down the aisle LOL

Anyway.....

THANK YOU miss Amy for the cute surprise package your just too dang creative!

I have more projects to make for my crop

so thats all my B-day festivities for right now

Have a GREAT halloween week!

Birthday Month

So.....its my BIRTHDAY month! Yahooo!

{YUCK i turn 27 10.23} Boooo!

I wanted to share what I got in the mail today!!!

Is this not the CUTEST & BEST little card ever? EVER? EVER?! EVER?!!

It's from Anthro LOVE LOVE LOVE Anthro :)

 

BUT it gets even cuter....{I know...how can it possibly get cuter?}

It turns in to a cute little candle NECKLACE!!!!

eeeek :) made my day! LOL {+15% off}

Oh...ummm yeah I have a new shorter do...

Here's my hair down

I have to say I'm still NOT use to it...

I definitely have to "do something" to it daily

(which is a PAIN in the butt)

I think that's one of the main reasons I've had LONG hair my whole life

cuz then I wouldn't be required to do much to it...

I have to do a LOT of teasing...if only the "BUMP it"

worked for me... BUT I'm very hair challenged

*I just work at a Beauty School ...

but I think I would fail Beauty School miserably if I attended LOL :)

I cant even figure out how to make that bump it stay

on my super "asian" stick straight hair

(eh...that's why I got a perm BUT my hair knotted so MUCH

so that's the reason why its short now cuz I wanted the perm cut off)

ANYWAY...

My aunt who currently lives in Japan

sent me TONS of Hello Kitty goodies for my B-day :)

so awesome! 

I'm totally LOVIN the Gabajillion little mini Hello Kitty stickers!

I'm planning to put it......only EVERYWHERE :)

Oh & LOOK what I found at the salvation army next to my work...for $3.00!!!

 

a vintage type case!

I don't really know what I'm gonna do with it yet...

VERY I N S P I R E D by Alis PROJECT though

I was craving cupcakes for 3/4 WEEKS!

I was going crazy & trying to hold back a crazy RAGE to a cupcake store
