Cupcake onesies

This blog should be named "Stuff I make when I'm bored" . So I wanted to create some creative cupcake onesies, much like the ones I've seen on Etsy. To get started, gather all the supplies: colorful onesies, scrapbook paper or doilies, template for cupcake holder, toothpicks. Start by unfolding the onesies lengthwise, start rolling away lengthwise, then roll like a snail shell, and secure with a rubber band. The next step, cut out the cupcake template out of your scrapbook paper or doilies. Tape or glue the cupcake holder around the onesies. Create some cute cupcake topper flags, or some circles, tape on to a toothpick. Stick it in the cupcake ;)

Etsy lovers

So i'm currently obsessed with Heartsy. A special site that is a 'groupon' to etsy shops. If you're not familiar with etsy shops, then what are you waiting for? Visit www.etsy.com/ and find all the wonderfulness that is etsy. click here to get $5 on your first purchase at Heartsy. I just ordered some wood flowers for my centerpiece from AccentsandPetals . I will post a model once I get them.

Sweet bun recipe

Let me say that I am the biggest Chinese food fan. Sometimes I have the urges for eating dim sum mid week when I'm sitting kids, and when I'm smelling fried foods. Fried foods reminds me of Chinese food, and well pretty much anything that sounds good reminds me of Chinese food -- but am quickly disheartened when i can't afford to eat dim sum daily.

This recipe is for people who want to try out their own Chinese sweet bun recipe

World Market

If you have never stepped foot in a World Market, consider yourself unfulfilled!  I love this place. If I didn't have a college degree, I'd be applying all over this! Ofcourse nowadays that only means I could qualify as an assistant manager. Anyway, some of you are familiar with thrift stores. Well if you have ever been to a "Super Walmart" of thrift stores, then you would know what this place means to me. This place reminds me of "vintage" and oriental pieces you can incorporate with any household things. You really have to sit there and filter through hundreds of finds. 
So anyway there, I found some parasols for less than $10. So no longer do you have to bid on them for $1 on Ebay and have to pay $19.99 for shipping. Now go find one in your city!

DIY guest book and sign

This is an inexpensive way to a personalized guest book. To get started, purchase a blank journal or a ledger book from any store. Then take your wedding theme or colored wrapping paper and wrap your guest book. Then obtain a small $1 chalk board from a hobby store and decorate your sign and use double stick tape as adhesive. The double tape works really well to even out the paper.

DIY picture collage

To get started on a picture collage, purchase an 8x8 scrapbook refill pages. 

These sheet protectors should include white insert paper. Place your pictures as you wish and adhere onto the paper. Use as many as 3-6 sheets and place into the sheet protectors. Then simply position the sheet protectors together vertically and use double stick tape or use dot adhesives. You can find the same thing selling for $20 on some sites. Enjoy!

Floating lanterns

I love Chinese lanterns because they look so festive.  Every Memorial Day many people gather in Hawaii to set off these floating lanterns as a way to remember their loved ones. I can imagine this would be great in any event and will create a lasting memory. There is a diy, but it might be cheaper just to buy them online or China town.
