PaperPixieCreations's Shop

You must be wondering what is PaperPixieCreations! That is my newly launched shop. I have been super busy these few weeks. Just started school a month ago. Into my fifth week now, time just pass so fast. I had been rushing datelines and datelines. So many assignments to do, its never ending. I think there is even more work to do compared to poly. In the midst of it all, I still find time to set up my store, as that is my passion. I am always in love with crafting. I love the handmade feel of things. So take a look at my store. There is a link on the right "Juliet's Store". Any feedback or custom orders will be welcome. :)

Valentine's Day

I am not able to spend Valentine's Day this year with my Dear. He would be away in Florida for detachment. We celebrated on Valentine's Day Eve instead. We went to Cheesecake Factory for dinner after his work. Yeah, I don't need to cook, can relax. Cheesecake Factory's food is well beyond cheesecakes. They have such a wide variety, and so far everything that we had tried is fantastic. We ordered an appetizer and a main course. Crab Wantan and Black pepper shrimp with Banana and rice. Their portion is too big to order too much. We ate until very full till there is no more space for cheesecake. So we order the Cheesecake To Go, which is their term for our take away. Haha. It will be reserved for supper later.

The next day, which is on Valentine's Day. :( He would be flying to Florida for two weeks plus. We woke up very early, at five plus. not enough sleep. I am going to fetch him and his friend to base. I gave him his Valentine's gift in the morning (in the pictures) which is for him to bring to Florida. I baked heart shaped cookies dipped in chocolate and mini chocolate fudge cake for him. It took me two days and I got to quickly baked before he come back to work each time, cos its meant to be a surprise. Now whenever he is hungry at night, at least he got something ready to eat. :)

Twinkle's Health Scare!

When I woke up in the morning, I found the containers that I used to contain the new year goodies that me and the gals made on the floor. There is nothing left in the containers already, except for one pineapple tart. Then a sudden realization hit me. Inside the container is chocolate chip cookies, and Twinkle ate it all! I was really scared, because chocolate is really dangerous for dogs. It can even caused death. So I am really scared. I scare I will lose twinkle. Chocolate contains a chemical that is toxic for dogs, its like caffeine to them. The toxic level depends on the amount consume, type of chocolate and the weight of the dog. I quickly look up on the net for more information. I figure out that twinkle ate around 50 mini chocolate chips, as there are about six chocolate chip in each cookies and she ate it all. I am not sure how many grams that is, as it is not my chocolate chip.

Not wanting to take any risk, I bought Twinkle to the vet. They need to make her vomit out the food, so that hopefully the toxic can come out too. After which they made her eat some charcoal stuffs which is to absorb the toxic that is already in her body. Initially they suggested to hospitalize her. The Estimate cost is around $400 USD lor. So I called dear dear to discuss first. But he did not answer the phone. Think he is busy at work. So I ask the vet if it is necessary for her to be hospitalize. She said it is best for her. Then I was thinking that Twinkle will be better at home, cos if she is hospitalized, she will be caged up, and I think it will be even worse. So they gave her a fluid shot, instead of on fluid the whole day, and I took her home. The doctor said to moniter her, if she vomit or have diarrea, give him a call or bring her to the vet.

Once she reached home, she drank a lot of water. Then she went to the toilet. Then she went to drink water again. She really drink a lot of water. She keep on going to the toilet, and there is large pool of pee. I have to keep on mopping the floor and changing the newspaper. We had to buy medication for her too. Dear dear went to the pharmacy to get it when he came back from work. The medication is for stomach upset.

Now six days has passed, and I am glad that she is as healthy as she can be, no vomit or diarrea or anything. Really give me a scare. Now must really make sure that no food is reachable for her, no matter how impossible it may seem for her. Food is a big motivation for her. Nothing she won't do for it. Haha, except when she is at unfamiliar grounds.

Twinkle's Escape

Twinkle is so naughty and cute at the same time. Sometimes I just can't stand her, cos she is too cute already. I was just planning to go to the post office, was carrying quite a bit of items and was just going to get out of the house, then Twinkle escape! She run off. Then I put down my boxes and stuff and went to catch up with her. Guess where I found her? She was standing beside our car. As if saying that she wants to go out. She is so funny. So clever can recognize the car. She likes going out too much already. If I tried to bluff twinkle back into the house, its going to take me quite some time and I dun have time as the post office is going to close soon, so I had no choice but to run back quickly to my house to get my stuffs. Twinkle was still waiting for me beside the car. Really can't stand her. She is just too cute and naughty. Then I bring Twinkle to the post office too. She was so heavy then I still have to carry her and my stuffs to be sent. Still have to write custom form so more. Twinkle make me so mar fan, but at the same time I just love her to bits. Then now whenever i want to go out, she wants to rush out too already, cos one time she rush out then I bring her go out.

Christmas Eve

My first Christmas Tree! Its only US$35 at Wal-mart. So cheap, in Singapore below $100 cannot get a tree one lor. Haha. Celebrating the festival here is so fun. :) So many things can buy to decorate the house. But I will miss Chinese New Year! No good food to eat! All the goodies. Pineapple tarts, love letters and so many yummy stuffs that cant be found here. I miss my grandma's curry too! Yummy. Argh, cant bear to think of it now already. Am drooling right now.



Haha. Look at Twinkle in a Santa Claus's clothing trying to look cool. She is so cute. Her head is too big, the cap cannot fit in. Think this photo is so artistic. :)

Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve, we invited some friends over to celebrate christmas. Really satisfied with the table setting. Very western style. The food that you see in the photo are the soup and appetizers. Quite a lot of things to cook, but with the help of the wives, we managed to have a very nice christmas dinner. The christmas over here is different from Singapore. Their Christmas is like our Chinese New Year like that. No where is open on Christmas day except casino and movie theatre. Even macdonald is close. There are no count down parties that i know of, not like singapore. You see people everywhere. Over here, families gather together to have dinner.

MY first Halloween Party! (2)

These are the people and creatures in the Halloween party. Hehe. Lets see. We have Mickey and Minnie, Witch, Angel, Dark Fairy, Pirate, Chef and my beloved Vampire. Haha. Oh, and Princess Twinkle. She wore a princess hat on that day, but did not catch it in photo, cos she keep on taking it off. Hehe. We had a lovely dinner, with really yummy curry with bread, chicken wings, nuggets, fries, pizza, salad, ending it off with ice-cream buffet. By the time we started eating, everyone was starving already. Haha. Cos waiting for my husband to change and put on his "make up" after he reach home from work.

After dinner, we split into two groups to play games. One group played wii and the other group play pictionary. I was playing wii and i was looking at them play pictionary, it looks very fun! They were acting it out. Wish I was in the other group, lol, cos I can guess what was the answer most of the time, when my dear dear was acting. Think we would score really well if we were on the same team. Too bad we were playing different games. In the end, my dear dear's team (with teng tong) lost to Linda and Jessica and they got to do forfeit. Haha. They got to dance with each other, so funny. Teng tong is so shy, dun dare to dance. By the time the party is over, it was very late le, still got to clean up before we could go to bed. It was tiring, but really fun!
