los angeles

so yesterday, my older sister let me borrow her camera. she has a nikon D80. i love it!! i need to buy a new camera coz mine sucks. anyway, raul and i decided to take plenty of pictures. first, we went to the grove to have a late lunch. pampa's brazilian barbecue is the best. we had top sirloin, caesar salad, spaghetti and fried plantains. awesome!

here's a cute picture, taken by the security guard. lol

then we went to rodeo drive and took more pictures. he mostly took my pictures. he's camera-shy... and i am a camera ham, not hog, ok? FYI : A camera hog "steals the spotlight" from others, while a camera ham is a very over-enthusiastic model for the camera, loves the attention, and loves to be photographed. A camera ham doesn't mind sharing the spotlight.

the louis vuitton store was closed because kanye west was in there, shopping.

i'd love to have a pair of jimmy choo

don't you just love l.a.?

i know i do ♥

cupcakes

i love cupcakes! they are just so yummy, even on handmade cards. most of the birthday cards i make are cupcake-themed. i can't get enough of it! hehe. here are some handmade papergoods that i've made in the past:

don't you just love 'em? anyway, my goal this year is to learn how to make real cupcakes, you know... the edible ones. lol. i also want to learn to decorate with frosting and sprinkles... and all that jazz! i can't wait! i think i'm gonna buy my supplies today ♥

etsy.com

i love etsy. if you have not heard of it, etsy is a website where you can sell and/or buy handmade items. you should definitely check it out! i have sold over 2,000 handmade papergoods. although i have stopped posting due to my crazy schedule. maybe one day i'll start making cards again. one day, when i get all my supplies organized, when i have a scrapbook room, when i have the money to, when i have the time to, one day...

but for now, enjoy this creation by yours truly ♥
