... just sweet love ...

Five faves

Hiya! Here are my five faves this week.

1. & 2. I'm gearing up to go to my roommate's wedding in Hawaii and these lovelies just arrived for me in the post. What do you think?

 

3. This beautiful farmhouse in Walton, New York. I've been daydreaming about these pictures all week long!

4. My scrapbook-celeb homie, Candice Carpenter, makes the most amazing stuff, like, ever! Looking at this Holly Jolly kit from her makes me swoon! Go buy one!

 

 

 

5. Someone very special bought me this this week! I've had my eye on one for quite some time now. Her name is Ebony Jean. Ironic, isn't it? I love.

Tonight, I am donning the yellow and purple and rooting for my Lakers at Staples Center! Tomorrow, I am running errands, errands, errands to get ready for Silver Bella. Hope you had a great week! Hello, weekend!

Stranger #8

It has been months since I kept up with this project. I was going through such a whirlwind of emotions, I felt it hindered on my creativity. This is my first stranger in three months. 

I walked into the UPS store to pick up the bridal shoes for my (former) roommate's wedding in Hawaii. His booming voice swept the very empty floor and immediately, I knew Ernie was going to be cool. He asked for my name to search my package. 

"Jenny Star Lor? You sound like you're famous," He said. 

I beamed. 

When he went back to the warehouse to retrieve my package, I ran outside and grabbed Celine. 

"I can see where you're trying to get at as an artist," Ernie said after I took his photo. "I'm a graphic designer myself." 

Well, my fellow artisan, good look in your endeavors.

Hi! I hope you're having a great week! Here are five of my most favorite things right now. Some I own, some I covet, some I just can't stop staring at....

1. My brand new Elsiecake 2010 Calendar. She's my most favorite artist ever and I want 2009 to hurry up already so I can start using it!

 

2. This dreamy piece of work from my friend, Holly Stinnett.

3. I've been feeling a little romantic lately.

4. This cutie King-of-the-Jungle Jar I got as a housewarming present for someone special. Okay, really, how adorable is he?!

 

5. This apron I'll be wearing for the Apron Party at Silver Bella in a few weeks.

Tonight, I have dinner with my friend, Graham, at this really cool place I've been wanting to try. Hopefully, I'll be home early enough so I can scrapbook. Happy Wednesday!

 

 

Feeling smitten

In keeping with the Hello Kitty theme, I've started scrapbooking for myself again. Though I've done many other pages I'm not ready to share just yet, I hope you enjoy this one. 

In late August, I went to New York. My friend, Philip, and I stayed at the Waldorf Astoria. A few blocks away, artist Tom Sachs installed enormous Hello Kitty sculptures in front of Lever House. The first night, in a drunken stupor, we came across it. Immediately smitten, we proceeded to come every night of our stay....

Hello Kitty turns 35!

My friend Ingrid and I went to the Hello Kitty Three Apples Soiree a few days ago and it was beyond magical. My eyes were so overwhelmed because there were SO many things to look at. Hello Kitty was everywhere! Art, fashion, food, even Hello Kitty champagne (which was good, I might add). AND! There's even a Hello Kitty Airstream RV for sale! Oh, it's only going for $150k... Enjoy!

This, I promise....

This, I swear... Once I finish up my last swap for Silver Bella, I am going to be better at blogging. Happy weekend!

In. Love.

Sugar n Spice

Today, I got ready to ship my Sugar n Spice ATC swap out for Silver Bella. They were so fun much to make and I can't wait to see what everyone else created. 

 

On another note, I attended The Cleveland Show premiere party a few weeks ago. It was super fun. The show is super funny and I know it'll be a hit. Along the way, I met this fellow: 

 

We talked about his book, Thank You And You're Welcome, my brother, and how cool his gf's necklace was. He was very nice and very generous. I like him. 

Coraline Couture

I just participated in a Tim Burton Ornament swap at Kim Caldwell's Artistic Affaire event. This was my first time making dolls ever! It was a lot of fun but a lot of work. I sewed everything by hand and it was so nice of my darling brother to come and help. In a few days, I'll post pictures of other ornaments I received from this swap. Some serious talent. 

Pardon me

I'm so sorry I've been away! Life has been a whirlwind of work, traveling, and scrapbooking. There's so much to say I don't know where to start. I have lots of pictures to upload and many goodies to share.

A few weeks ago, I was invited to Big Bear by my good friend, Candice Carpenter, and had THE best time crafting, being silly and getting so many things done! We stayed at a   charming home called a Place in Tyme. It was beyond cute! Here are a few pictures: 

P.S. In Big Bear, I learned that my porn name is Happy Logan (My first dog and name of the first street I lived on). What's yours? :)
