Goodbye January 2016 ...






January 31, 2016 ~  With a heavy heart, I now say goodbye to my birthday month of January . Embedded in my heart and mind were some real happy moments day in .. day out .



 It started with a week of parties . O dear , imagine me dressing up in animal theme and painting my face as a pussycat or tiger or lion... I dunno, you tell me . I guess I did a good job with the animal make up because even
my husband had a smile on his face when I was going out with a face like that in broad daylight ... I'm full of guts .. lmao!





 I look back to the past events over the last 4 weeks and I can happily say that being among friends and loved ones near and far are  my most treasured moments. Some days are mild... some are wild ... some were wacky but  it was pure fun ! We eat n eat n eat n gossip... then laugh at each other's misfits ! and lots of  picture taking ... awwwwwwww ... don't use flash please LOL!




 My friends... their presence and thoughts had given me priceless pleasures.
Thank you my beautiful loving buddies !

Although I have a request ladies, please slow down a bit as I have a hard time scheduling myself to the busy potlucks and parties LOL!  I'm not a young girl anymore who can easily drag myself in high heels here n there you know ... especially when I have no escort .... ssshhhhhhhhh  .... but I love parties and ladies nights... it's my weakness so I hardly say no to invites ...  tsk tsk ! I feel hopeless to say no when I hear the word PARTY ! Can you blame me for being so submissive to parties ?  Uh oh ....

!.:



I'm a party animal  driving with my makeup on and gasoling station attendant staring and  asking me if I have a party to go to that he needs to quickly fill up the car tank . Ha ha ha !!!







Also, I would like to thank all of you who had shared the time to celebrate my birthday with me.
Your presence is well appreciated and thanks to all of you for all the wonderful momentos and gifts too. Wooaahhhhhh I love them all .... Thank you.. thank you... THANK YOU!



I do hope all of you who had attended my bday party at home had received my token of appreciation which I  had individually handmade for you during the event.




The beautiful focal pendants made of Mother of Pearl ( MOP ) of this seed bead necklace were ordered in Cebu , Philippines and personally delivered to me by my dear friend Ms. Mentin Oreel a few years back. All the focals were individually wrapped in plastic and kept in my drawer for several years until I finally found them again while I was thinking of making necklaces to make for my party give aways. They're a perfect souvenir item after I had made the necessary chains in a variety of glass seed beads.
The different colors of the chains had easily matched their sarong outfits and color preferrences !



Once again, the party is not complete without a quick trip to my beadroom by my jewelry sassy friends. Curious as always of what I had been creating in there and excited to grab whatever they could find. Some of them had bought a few pieces and some had ordered certain designs in their desired colors and shapes. Whewwww... lucky I can always alter to satisfy their taste although sometimes it costs me more sleepless nights trying to attend to all the details to fit their  styles. In the end, it's always satisfaction for them and for me once the items were done , delivered, accepted and worn to their respective occasions. Mission accomplished always give me a sense of satisfaction and relief.
A happy customer is always my top most priority !

These are some of the items that had gone to happy buyers for January so far and I got more pending orders to accomplish in the next few days ... I will be as busy as ever ... and for me , that's great !




































Many thanks again for all the people who patronage and continously support my handmade crafts. 

Cheers !!!

November : Topaz & Citrine



Yellow Topaz with Diamonds 18k Yellow Gold Ring from Singapore

Topaz, November's primary birthstone, has one of the most confusing histories of any popular gem. Though topaz has been known since antiquity, it has suffered from considerable misidentification since ancient times, most often being confused with citrine, the alternative November birthstone . Both topaz and citrine were found on an island in the Mediterranean called Topazios in ancient times. Since the two gems were alike in color, though not in size or form, they were often mixed up. The most common topaz colors are brown, yellow, yellow-gold, and orange, all very similar to the shades of citrine. .

Citine with Garnet 18k White Gold Ring I had bought from Singapore

  Meaning, Significance and Symbolism Of The November Birthstone  :

The topaz is known for its associated qualities of strength, tenacity, dedication and resilience. The thisNovember birthstone is believed to balance emotions and thoughts for a harmonious lifestyle. The gemstone is used to enhance spirituality, promote wisdom and cut through troubles and confusion to bestow clear thought and reasoning prowess on the wearer of the stone. The topaz was often used in the crowns and rings worn by rulers, diplomats, dignitaries and royalty.
The Citrine is a golden hued gemstone that encourages vitality and promotes good health of the wearer. These gemstones range in color from light yellow tones to deep orange hues. The stones have longed been believed to bring hope, strength, vitality and energy to the wearer.
