Running out of space in the OFFICE!

Yep – that’s my office right there! Kind of messy but whenever I clean it up – the next day is a mess again. I can’t help it – there’s just too much stuff in there. No one goes into this office except myself and I just don’t understand how it can get into a mess so quickly! Even with three tables to work with??

Here’s table #1 – a mess eh? It’s my craft table with a bunch of crap on it right now and under this table has a little mini table to put things on. I just think I need more organizational storage space – so this mess will go away!

Table #2 – Another craft table.

& Finally – my work table where I spend hours on working on my blogs and online work. This table gets messy too when there’s too much table on it. But as you can see – I have an extra table on the bottom to put stuff. Yes – that’s like a total of 5 tables for me to put stuff on? It’s funny because I’m the only one that uses this office and hubby doesn’t even have his own office. Well – his office is in the living room coffee table with only his laptop.

Here’s a little so-called table to put other things on. Nothing related to work or crafty stuff. Just candles, phone, and picture.

Here”s a shelf for my printer and filing boxes. I got this over Christmas – sort of a Christmas present from my other half. I wanted a printer shelf for a long long time now. It’s a lot more organized than before.

Pretty big office but its a heck of a mess! I gotta start cleaning up before this little guy comes along – I won’t have ANY time to spend in the office when he’s here. I’ll probably be up in his room and upstairs living room most of the time. Yes – sacrifices of having a kid but that’s life eh? I’ll still be working at home but not in front of my office – I’ll probably be having my laptop upstairs while taking care of a crying baby. That reminds me – I have two months to enjoy my sleep, freedom and spending alone times with the husband.

Prepping my nails for the party!

Prepping my nails for the Bachelorette dinner. The gold I have on is very sparkly and shiny, but the cons about this is that the polish takes years to dry. Kind of frustrating when you have no patient. But the gold would match with the theme I’m planning to have. ^__^

Beautifying his car

This is by far the cutest gadgets I bought for his car. Isn’t it cute? I wonder if my other half is thrilled about the idea of putting this on his car but I did it anyways and he didn’t say much. I asked for his permission first of course because he owns the car. I love beautifying things and making it look beautiful. That’s what most girls do right? Lol – this is one of the reason why I want to get my own car too – I get to decorate it however I want it.

This is how it looks like – what do you think? Not only does it look cute – it smells nice too. I like spending on gadgets like this – now his car is full of Mickey Mouse decors – can’t help it. :D

Vase for Wedding Centerpieces

We decided to swap the idea of having a centerpiece for our wedding – that lift off a lot of stress in searching for the perfect vase for us. Centerpiece can be quite expensive because it’s almost like the center of attention and you gotta have the perfect one. So we decided not to have one – not only because it’s expensive. It’s because we couldn’t find the perfect vase. It’s hard sometimes – we want something unique and tall but where can we find right? I don’t want to order online because these things break when shipment comes and it’ll be another headache to deal with. We’ll have a bottle of red wine, a menu, and a table number in the center of the table anyways – that’s already overwhelming – that’s why we decided to swap the idea of having a centerpiece. Did you have a centerpiece at your wedding? Share a picture with me!

The Christmas tree is up!

Yes – get the man at work! This is the second year that we put up the tree together – usually he’s fine at helping me because he doesn’t want me to do it all by myself. Look at how hard working he is eh? We got the tree up a bit late this year – no idea why – maybe because we are all so busy that we forgot about the tree. The tree is usually up in mid-November but it’s almost mid-December. All that is left is the putting the presents under the tree. I’m only excited about wrapping the present with different wrapping papers!! What about you?

Hard at work eh?? It didn’t take us that long to put it up – but it sure did take us hours last year figuring out how to put it up. It took us nearly 20 minutes to put up the tree and the ornaments – not too bad eh? Hope next year will be faster – so I can save more time! Time is limited nowadays!! 168 hours in a week is really not enough.

Ikea Vanity Table

What a mess? Yes – I know. I’ve been saying and saying that I will be cleaning up my vanity table but really never gotten a chance to. It’s either I’m at home doing my online work or I’m out working. It’s been a busy month so far and I can only imagine it being as more busy than ever till the end. Which means – I better clean it soon – or else some of my friends will be coming over, over the break to see this mess. Is your vanity table as messy as mine? I need some organization and I need to put things back when I finish using it because that is the main problem.

Cross Stitchings

I haven’t cross stitch for quite sometime now because of this hectic and busy schedule of mine – there is still some orders for me to do – I just gotta find some time to do it before I meet up with my customer. I don’t see this as a job to me because I enjoy cross stitching very very much. Let’s just say – I’m more of a hands on person. If your telling me to sit in an office and just read documents – I think I would rather not go to work. Are you a hands on person??

Party Packager @ Highway7 & McCowan

Party Packager is one of the places I love going when I’m holding a house party. Decoration to a party is very important – well to me it is. I love decorating and it just brings the party spirit up better. Agree??

Party Packager is the place I go – the whole store basically sell party decorations for any celebrations. Anniversaries, birthdays, bachelor parties, wedding parties,  school parties and you name it. It’ll be there. How convenient eh? But let me tell you – the price is a bit expensive than stores out there. A bit more pricey – but I think it’s worth it, saves you a trip from getting to two places right?

They have tons of ballon designs to choose from too. I believe it’s over 1000 of them. A bit pricey – but it’s unique :) Where do you buy your supplies from??

Motives Nail Polish & Nail Arts

If you follow my blog earlier on – you would know I love doing nail art designs. But ever since life got a bit busy – I didn’t care about my nails as much. To me – nails are as important as putting makeup on. Are you like me too??

I love nail polishes and nail supplies. I have tons of them in my collection – but now that I have a busy schedule – I really don’t have much time for it. But for sure is – from now on, I will fit in sometimes to do my nails.

What do you think? This took about 20 minutes to do. Kind of rushed it a bit. :) My nails usually last for a week. Do you do your own nails too??
