Store Closing Sale!

In preparation for the birth of my baby girl and the move back to Singapore, I have decided to close my shop for the time being. Everything in the store is reduced to $2. Visit www.paperpixiecreations.etsy.com for some great shopping. Thank you for looking and your support. Have fun shopping!

Bath and Art!

Can you believe this is a body polish? It looks so yummy!!! How about some Apple Cinnamon Crisp Sugar and Oatmeal Body Polish by battysbath that smells so good to make your body soft and silky? You would be able to get these goodies from Battysbath's store. This sweet smelling dessert bath polish is made with two naturally exfoliating ingredients - Sugar and Oatmeal. I love how Battysbath uses natural ingredients and is earth friendly. There is really some yummy goodness in there. Yum. I shall go find something to eat after this.



As you can see, I am a lover of fine food, especially dessert. This art print really caught my eyes. What's better than a cup of coffee or tea to enjoy with a plate of dessert. This art prints spells modern and relaxation for me. I can totally imagine this art print in my little corner in my future house where I enjoy a drink and dessert to relax. This art print is available from Licorice Prints.

Week 35 Photo

5 More Weeks to Go!

Really, where did the time go? I have about five more weeks before meeting my baby girl. Gosh, time pass so fast. I am currently at 34 weeks. Look at how much my belly have grown! I love taking photos every week to see how the growth process. Although, my belly is growing, it is still considered small. It might be due to genetics, we shall see. I really hope my baby is growing well. I have an growth scan next week to check on baby's growth, and really hope she is right on track. I just went for my doctor's appointment today. I will have another appointment in another two weeks, and after that will be every week, as the day is coming. Wow. Before I know it, I would have Baby Sheris in my arms. :)

My Favorite Jewelry!!!

Anyone who knows me knows I love butterflies. When I saw brianarose's shop, I could not help falling in love with it. This pink butterfly necklace is my favorite. It is so dainty and pretty! Butterflies are something that I can't resist, and I want to get this jewelry for myself! Sadly to say, I don't think I can wear much Jewelry now, with my baby girl on the way. Besides necklace, Brianarose also have butterfly hair clips, which are just as beautiful. When my baby girl is older, I can get some for her and for me. Hehe. Wouldn't that be cute?

At Last. I Get to Rest for a While.

This photo was taken at 29 Weeks. My belly is growing. I am currently at 33 weeks. Where did the time go? Yeah. I finally finished this term. This was the most difficult term I had. The classes that I had chosen to take was so difficult. I really wish I would pass the two classes. If I am not able to pass, I might not be able to finish my degree before I go back to Singapore. :( Well, good or bad results, I am so glad that it is over for now. This means I can start preparing for my little girl to come. Now, it's time to pack the hospital bag and wash baby girl's clothes. There are so many clothes to wash. Haha. I think we bought a little too much though. They are too cute to resist.

Arts and Pets!

I love love this art print by SimplyCutebyKarin. I can see this print in my baby's nursery room (that is if I have a nursery room). Sadly, my house won't be ready in another one or two years. I love the colors. It is so clean and bright. It will make any room seems cheery. If you look at her shop, you will find lots of prints with dogs and cats in it, and the shop says so much about her. It is just so homely, especially Cute Girl and Yellow Dog Art Print. I love how the print says so much about the artist. It just makes it so much more fun. The artist has two Labrador retrievers and one sassy cat. That explains the cats and dogs in the prints. Her labrador eats soap, how weird and cute. Haha. My Maltese loves to eat my Lipbalm, so I always have to make sure I don't keep it lying around, or I will need to get a new one the next day.



This Dog Jacket from ShopKCQ is so sweet! I love the colors and the Jacket looks so comfortable. I am sure my dog, Twinkle, would look so pretty and sweet in this jacket. This cute wool jacket is made entirely from vintage kimono fabrics imported from Japan. This is what I found out about the dog in the picture. "Udon is an adopted scruffy, mischievous Toy Poodle who loves to wreak havoc and then cuddle afterward". Her name is Udon, how cute! She modeled so perfectly.

Great News!

Yeah. I passed my 3 hour glucose test!!! It's really a huge sense of relief. Another thing that I found out was that I am not anemic anymore. Yeah! Now I don't need to take any iron supplement. I was anemic during earlier on in my pregnancy, and had to take iron supplement. I only took a some of it, and I wanted to make sure that if I was still anemic, I would want to make sure that I am taking those iron supplements. Well, the good news is I am normal! Yeah. Lol. My baby is growing well and I still love feeling her move. I am amazed that I am already at 29 weeks. Oh, in the photo, I was at 26 weeks (sorry, I am 3 weeks behind in uploading photos). So fast! In another 11 weeks, I will be meeting my baby girl. Oh, speaking of that, I just made an appointment this coming saturday for my 4d ultrasound. I can't wait to see her!!! I want to see her moving, and see how her features is like. If she looks like mummy or daddy. Haha.

No calls Yet.

An update for my glucose test. I had not received any calls yet, so I guess I can say that I am 80% safe. My doctor's appointment is tomorrow, and I will know for sure by then. Praying that I will get good news.

3 Hour Glucose Test

I just took my 3 hour glucose test this morning. I was so afraid that this was going to happen. I failed my one hour test last week, and I am really hoping that I will pass this time, because it would mean that I have gestational diabetes if I fail. :( That would make me so miserable. I don't want to poke myself with needles. I hate needles. I can't even look when the nurse draw blood from me. I just look away, I am really scared of needles and blood. I got poke four times today, as they had to draw blood before I drink the glucose drink and three times every hour after that. The process was not as bad as I imagine it to be, and the lady today was very nice. Let's hope that I don't receive any phone calls this week from them, and I will be safe.

Regretted taking Spanish class.

I did not know that the spanish class that I took this term is so difficult. I totally regretted taking it. My grades are so poor now and I got to spend so much time on it. Learning Spanish in 8 weeks online just seems so impossible. I have to know the grammar, write in respond to the question, understand what what the person is saying and reply back orally. I am going crazy studying this. I really just hope I can pass. I am not even halfway through yet, and I feel like I am not going to make it. This is so bad.

27 Weeks Today!

I know I have been missing for a really long time. In october, I discovered that I was pregnant, and my husband and I are really excited to meet our baby girl. The first trimester of my pregnancy was terrible, as I had morning sickness. That is the worst feeling ever. The worst is I still have to go for my classes, and have to get through the class without vomiting or anything like that. It was really hard to control, but I am glad to say vomiting did not happen in class. I was constantly tired, sometimes I feel like I don't even have any energy to talk. That semester, I missed quite a number of classes, and I am really glad I took most of my classes in person instead of online, as the work load of in person classes is not as heavy. The photo above is taken when I was at 21 weeks. You could not really see much of a belly at that time, and people would not believe that I am pregnant at that point. My baby girl knows how to hide very well.



This photo was taken when I was 24 weeks. It is amazing to look back at the photos and see how my my belly had grown. Time had passed so fast that I can't believe it that in another 3 months or less I will be holding my baby girl in my arms. I am so not prepared. I wish time would pass by slower, and I really don't know how I am going to study at the same time too. I guess I will make it through somehow one way or another.

Accessories!

I finally had time to blog after my last paper today! This week's focus will be on Accessories, based on your choice.



This lovely coin purse caught by eyes. I love the sweet fabric on the purse and it looks just too cute to resist. I love all things tiny, and this is just right for me. This coin purse would really prevent my wallet from bursting. By putting all your coins in this coin purse, it will be easier to get your coins out for your payment, so that you will not collect one big bag of coins. This is so pretty to carry around that I would want to use it all the time. You can get this purse from LittlePrettIings. I was also pleasantly surprise that LittlePrettlings is from Singapore too, as I am a Singaporean too! I miss home, and I am glad my sister is here to visit to bring me a piece of home for a while. My sister is here to visit me with her boyfriend. Now that I had finished my exam, we will be going for tour this weekend, just in time for Columbus Day! Yeah. Time to spend money again. Next week she will fly back from Vegas. Looking forward to it. A few more days.

Jewelry, Art, and Paper Goods!

How elegant is this bangle bracelet? This is a bangle bracelet that I would wear to attend a wedding dinner, or any other formal events. This bracelet will compliment your outfit. It is sweet and dainty. It is also perfect as a gift for that sweet friend of yours. It is also available in 18k gold vermeil pricing upon request. This elegant bangle bracelet is from WhiteFly. They carry a wide variety of jewelry: rings, bracelets, earrings, and necklace. Previous to opening a shop at Etsy, WhiteFly had work as a Senior Jewelry Designer for several years.



Wow. I am loving this bird art from mamapainter. Look at the texture of the tree trunk. It feels like the texture of a real tree trunk. It is very artistic and modern. I definitely can see it in my future house. The sculpted tree is covered in silver leaf and aged to perfection. The birds are made from assorted, altered, craft papers and ephemera. Authentic, German glass glitter embellishes the hat. As you can see here. There are a lot of detail in this piece of art, which makes it really interesting to look at.



Green is the new in! I love environmentally friendly stuffs. I especially love the fact that greeting cards can have a life of it's own. Flowery Greetings carry a line of plantable cards. A card is not just a card anymore, you can now plant it, and watch it bloom into a flower. Planting instructions are included on the back of the card. How cool is that? It will also be a tiny step towards making the earth a better place for you and me. I also happen to know that Flowery Greetings' Birthday is this sat, two days after mine. :) Happy Birthday Flowery Greetings! Have a wonderful celebration!

Florida Vacation Day 3

This was the day I was waiting for! Cruise! The Beach and the Sea! I love it. It was the first day of the seven day cruise. Seven days might seem long for some, but these seven days are the highlight of my holiday. I had never been on a cruise before. It was my first time, and I was so excited. Yeah, off to the Caribbean Sea. I was delighted to be near the sea, I love the sound and the color of waves, it is so soothing and calm. Living in Arizona, its been some time since I've been near the beach, and I was so happy to go on a cruise, to the most beautiful beaches in the world.

We watch the cruise set off, and went to explore the rest of the cruise after that. We wonder around the place, getting to know the place. It was confusing at first, with so many floors and facilities. Soon we got used to it. Every night there is Show Time, a entertainment brought to us by the cruise. During the first day of the performance, I could say that I was not really impressed with the dance. I might be, after watching So You Think You Can Dance, my expectation had increased. I Love watching So You Think You Can Dance, how I wish I could dance like them.

After Show Time, it was dinner time. There were specific timing to go for dinner, and we choose the late timing. A table was already reserved for us. We had our own table, server throughout the cruise. Dinner was a three course meal, it was a long time ago since I had eaten good food. Dinner was just fabulous. Yummy, and satisfying. I am just so happy that I don't have any housework to do, food to cook or assignments to rush. I can just relax the whole day away. It feels so good.

Weekly Feature!

Starting from next week, I will be doing a weekly feature of your choice. Yes! You get to decide. On the right side you will see a poll that asked you what do you like to see feature. At the end of the poll, I will based on the result, and source for my favorites in that categories and feature them, so that you will be able to enjoy them. Enjoy voting!!!

Gypsy is on my wish list!

This new gypsy by provo craft is amazing. It basically lets you design on the go, which is great for me. :) I can't wait to get my hands on this newly released item. They are launching it on September 24th starting at 12am on HSN. What's exciting is that the cutting above blog have two brand new gypsy to giveaway. I sure hope I will be the lucky winner.

Florida Vacation!!!

The highlight of the second day of our Florida vacation is shopping and a lobster feast dinner. The main goal of the day's shopping is to buy more shorts and skirts, so that I can wear those on the cruise. I am not going to wear jeans when I am on the beach, and it was so hot and sunny. It will be crazy to wear those. After shopping, we meet Linda and Jia Min for dinner. They actually came to florida a few days earlier than us, and we decided to meet for dinner. We went to Boston Lobster Feast for buffet. It was expensive. Around $35 per person. I am not really a seafood person, and I eat really slow, so buffet is not so suitable for me. Haha. I would say that it is not really worth it to eat there. The food is average, I find only the fried scallop is nice. Yummy. But I would not go there again. I could eat something really nice with that amount of money.

Florida Vacation!!!

I had so much fun during my Florida trip, especially the cruise to the Caribbean! The first day was really tiring, as we only slept for about one hour plus. That's the least I had ever slept. My husband, Edwin, worked until about 2am in the morning, and we need to leave our house at six in the morning to catch the plane. I was thinking we do not need to sleep at all already, as I am afraid that I will not wake up if I fall asleep. Haha. At four plus in the morning, we just could not stand it anymore, and decided to went to sleep. Surprisingly on the way to the airport, with only so little sleep, I did not feel as tired as I thought I would be. I was excited to see the Caribbean island. I was really more excited to go on the cruise than Disney World.

When we arrived at Florida, visually it was so different from Arizona, as we saw from the top, on the plane. Florida is full of greenery. Huge area of land are covered with trees, it was so refreshing to see so many greenery. Arizona being a desert, is mostly brown visually. Florida kinda reminded me of Singapore, with trees along the highways, and complicated roads. The weather is also pretty similar to Singapore. It was hot and humid! But I think that Florida is more humid. Being the monsoon season, it rained almost everyday. We went to get an umbrella to prepare for the rain, we do not own an umbrella in Arizona, as it rarely rain here, even so it only last for a while, so an Umbrella is not really necessary in Arizona.

On the day we arrived at Florida, it was National Cheesecake Day, and Cheesecake Factory is having 50% off all their cheesecake. We just could not resist desserts. Cheesecake!!! Thus, we went Cheesecake Factory for dinner, and guess what? We had to wait for one hour before we could get a seat! With the special deal, I guess it really attracted a lot of people. Having come all the way here, we just waited to get a seat. I find the food at Arizona's Cheesecake Factory taste better. After dinner we were just too full, and we had our cheesecake to go (take away). Yummy!!! Godiva Chocolate Cheesecake!!! The thought of it makes me drool. Being such a long trip, and fun experience. Please wait for the next installment of my vacation. Hehe.

Dog House Gift Box!

I found this wonderful Dog House Gift Box on Etsy, handmade by FayeHubele. It is such a cute gift or favor box, to put our doggie's beloved treats. I hope someone hold a doggie's birthday party soon, so that I have a reason to buy this gift box. Haha. It's just so adorable, hmm.. Or I could use them as favors box for next year Twinkle's birthday party. Hehe. Won't that be so nice. I love beautiful packaging.
