The one with all the niceys

I have been going for a jewelry making class for the past month and frankly, I look forward to every new class. I love learning the different techniques and getting tips on which materials to get and where from. Even though I do not like every design, I realise that each lesson has been planned merticulously so we can master the techniques properly. And I'm so glad Jo's coming with me and she's equally hyped up!


You know, our community centres have a lot of courses tailored to meet every individual's interest. And at such affordation affordable prices too! You know, I really wanna join a scrapbooking class too. PA has them too and so I will be joining the one in October. Its only for a day but perhaps they might have other advance course after that ends. But you know what's my dream course? The one held by Laines Papeterie at Wheelock Place. http://www.laines.com.sg

Anyway I am quite happy with my jewelry classes. Having loads of fun. Spanish classes are taking a break, til me and Fanni are financially ready to go back. Haha. That was fun too, but a different kind of fun.


And guess what? This month on fareastflora.com , they are featuring my favorite flowers!! I know this is so random but they sent me an email and I got so excited seeing my favorite flowers in so many different designs and colours! Because of my wedding bouqet, I always thought hydrangeas were blue in colour!













*Swoons over pictures.* Goodness, but they are really expensive! I seldom see hydrangeas being sold...so this is a visual treat indeed!


And since we are on the topic of things I like... I really love the Eiffel tower! Or rather, pictures of it. Especially vintage looking pictures of it! I love those altered art pieces where people add touches of pink to the whole picture and then it becomes so dreamy and pretty! I love looking at what people can do with those digital sheets. Ok...I'm not making sense... On Etsy.com, where people worldwide sell all things hand-maded and also supplies, there are also photographers and um, digital artists (no idea what else to call them) who sell the photographs that they take. Either as framed pictures, or as collage sheets. A collage sheet is a collection of digital images that someone has assembled on a sheet of paper. You normally purchase a digital collage sheet online and the creator of the sheet emails it to you. Most digital collage sheet artists place a copyright stamp on the online image so that people can't download it free.(Taken from  http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/2601927/what_are_digital_collage_sheets.html?cat=24)

So if you buy the collage sheets, you can print them as many times as you like. Buyers will use them to make tags, um...scrapbooking, or even to make lockets, bags, towels anything actually! So I really love seeing the things that people make, like I said, anything with the Eiffel tower just makes me feel really dreamy and its just so pretty! I love the following vintage looking photograph and I'm so gonna buy one for my house when it comes. Preferably one with the Eiffel tower.





And these tags are just so, so pretty in pink, aren't they?
