LESSology Challenge #22 - How Charming!




to use charm on your project....

and my upcycle item is this wooden box from Ikea, it used to be the home of those cute little pegs


after a coat of acrylic paint, and the fun begins...


I used an old photo of me, my brother and grandma...



while I was digging through my stash to find things to recycle, I found this tiny key charm, can't even remember when I bought it from


a lot of beads and sequins are left overs from my crazy quilt project, everything is so tiny, it feels like playing doll house once again....



the tiny heart is a total accident.... it was a piece of a negative from my die cut, I tried to play with ink and Utee, and the result is awesome!


now here's another charm....




one more treasure to add.... I found a super old drawer with scrabble tiles at The Brooklyn Flea last year (oh ya, I supposed to post those picture, oh well), it cost me only 5 bucks






I hope you pop over to LESSology and join in the fun

The prize for this challenge is


a $20 gift certificate to Elle's Studio sponsored by our super cool team mate Julie Tucker-Wolek

City Crafter Challenge Blog Week 145 ~ Just for you my friend

Linda is our host this week at

City Crafter Challenge Blog

and we are celebrating FRIENDSHIP!

My friend Jean came to visit in October 2012, we took some picture at home and Hoover Dam, so I decided to make a mini album for her birthday.




There's nothing better than a true friend...



True friends come into our lives at special time and stay...


we travel separate journeys and cross different bridges...

{Jean came from Taiwan, I was from Singapore, we met in New York City and clicked the first time we met, we were friends for the past ten years, I then moved to Las Vegas, she went back to Taiwan, and went to Italy for vacation, met his prince charming, came to Vegas to got married last year, what a story huh?}


Friendship is a special place untouched by time or distance....





I sent this mini album to Milan for Jean few days before her birthday, and the very next day, I received an email from her that they are on their way here to Vegas again, well, she is here now and hasn't seen the mini album, so I hope she is not reading my blog right now, LOL!
