Stay In Touch Thursdays!!

It’s quite embarrassing that I haven’t updated this blog in several months considering my love for the art of writing. I was inspired again to make more cards after spending some time in the sale section of Michaels craft store and JoAnn Fabrics (I went there on a mission for one thing and you know what happens when you see items with red sale price stickers? Hello Empty Wallet). I decided recently I’m going to start using one of my lovely handmade cards and personally write someone every week this year (Gee, I wonder if I actually know that many people?). It will be great way to reconnect with others than sending emails or constantly updating my status on Facebook. I will post my beautifully crafted card here only after I’ve sent it. I don’t want any of my recipients to get a sneak peek! Who knows maybe I’ll surprise one of my customers with a free handmade card along with a personal note from “Yours Truly!”

Is Brown Rice Nice?

Lately I've been on the craziest Fiber Kick ever! Not sure what has obsessed me to want to cleanse my system out; perhaps it's related to my exercise program and something called New Years resolutions. I read that we require 25-30 grams of fiber each day! Whoa, now that's a Sh*t load of fiber (no pun intended)! I even found a fiber calculator that tells you how much fiber a person needs to consume based on your height, age and weight. I wish there was a calculator that stated how many cupcakes I need to eat, before I pass out (I love my cupcakes, but I’ll use that as another posting one day). Recently, I sadly switched from white rice to brown rice, which is driving me crazy considering I'm Asian and steamed white rice is a staple! So in honor of the switch, I made a card that says “I love brown rice” (I have to admit I don’t love it, but you know if you repeat something enough, you start to believe it).
