Hello everyone! I am very much enjoying my alone time right now! As you know a girl with two kids or any kids under 15 don't get alone time that often. My DH Brian took Justin's to my ex neighbor's house to watch the De la Hoya fight ( I think is De la Hoya?) Anyways fighting isn't my thang so I let the boys go have there fun. Ashlyn is sleeping and i'm in heaven for a bit. I"m enjoying my cup of noodles and a glass of wine while it last. Anyways i finished my papers for my monster kit. Is super adorable and very simple. I always love simple and clean stuff. This papers are pretty clean with very little textures but there is some textures. I printed them out and they look great! I love them! OK i'm all cute out, i think i'm gonna do some flowers next. Oh hey if you got any suggestion on anything you like me to draw just shoot me an email. I love to see what people have in mind and I don't mind few suggestions!

Justin loss a tooth
Yesterday Justin loss a tooth, he was soo proud of what a big boy he is getting. We put his tooth in a little container and he wouldn't let go of it LOL. We told him the tooth fairy is gonna come and he asked me all kinda questions! He want to know how is the fairy gonna come into our house if everyone is asleep, is the teeth fairy a ghost, and how big is the teeth fairy LOL. I told him to go to sleep early so the tooth fairy can visit sooner with a little something for you. So this morning he woke up earlier then anyone else and was extremely happy that the tooth fairy have visited and gave him a dollar. the background paper is from my new and undone monster kit. It have nothing to do with his tooth but I thought is soo cute I wanted to use it!

Digital scrapbooking
Have you guys pick up the june/july digital scrapbooking mag yet? I was sooo excited about June/July issue for a few weeks now. Shabby Princess emailed me a few weeks ago letting me know that some of my digital stuff will be in the front cover. I didn't expect the issue to be out soo soon but when i visited the gallery over at designerdigitals i spotted the mag with my Floral Zest papers in the cover! Now i just have to go visit the book store to buy this mag now.

My little Monkey Ashlyn's birthday is around the corner. So i thought i'll homemade her invo. I only invited family so i only made a few cards. I used my Monkey Do kit for this cards. I printed out the envelops and cards. It was a bit tedious to get the envelop cut and folded. Good thing i didn't have to make much. I am very happy with the result of it. It is super cute! I think i might sell this cute template with patterns at DD minus the words of course LOL. Nancy and my dear Mother-in-law, you'll get this in the mail sometime this week =)

~Mindy~

MirandaLea. Congratulation, you will be receiving Jungle Gym Kit and Jungle Gym sticker for free!!! Well, this is fun i think i might work in some kinda contest or drawing every week or every other week! So come back often to my bloggy and see what is going on!

Long day today
Today we went to get lens for me. At first i went to Lens Crafters to see what they would charge me but they wanna charge me an arm and a leg! I think it was 80 bucks for eye exam and another 50 bucks for contact lens fitting? I am not quite sure what they are charging me but i know it was like 130 bucks or so for just some type of eye exams. I say screw that! So we went to the one i usually get my eyes checked in Garden Grove which is like 35-40 mins away. I was thinking damn is so far maybe lens crafter will be good since is like 5 mins away. I am soo glad i didn't go to Lens Crafters!!! This place i go regularly only charged me 140 dollars for eye exam AND 1 year supply of contact lens. So i am quite happy that i didn't give Lens Crafter an arm and a leg. After i got my lens we swing by South Coast Plaza where all the riches shop so yes i didn't get anything. I can't afford almost anything there. We had a late lunch at the Corner Baker (YUMMY!) had HaagenDazs for dessert and drop by my FIL/MIL's house for a short visit. We got home and the kids fell asleep. So here i am updating my blog and ready for bed.



Ok tired now. 9t9 everyone

~Mindy~

Many of you have emailed me and told me that Jungle Gym is the perfect name for this kit soooo i decided to just kept it as Jungle Gym. Since i didn't pick a name from anyone i will randomly pick a winner to receive this kit for free! Thank you everyone for suggestions! I apologies if i haven't email you back with a thank you. I was soo tie down with this Jungle Gym kit yesterday. I had to get it done yesterday so i can get it upload by today since today is the deadline for uploading new kits to designerdigitals. Ok enough chit chating here are the previews.

~Mindy~

Ok ok i don't know am i gonna name this kit Jungle Gym but that is what come in my mind at this moment. I was having such a hard hard time working on this kit. I'm not too sure why, I think i'm just having one of those days where i just can't seem to be creative. I might keep it as is or keep tweaking it til i get so sick of it that i never want to see it again LOL. Anyways, anyone have any name suggestion for this kit? I would love for you to shoot me an email at bittersweettie@gmail.com if you got any cool unique names. If i happen to pick the name you choose you of course get this collection for FREE!

My dearest friend Andrea is 26 today!!! Happy birthday to one of my favorite online girl which I also get to met in person. Andrea is one of the sweetest girl. I gotta say good thing we don't live close by are else our husband wouldn't be happy with our spending habit. LOL Many time she will shop online and asked me how i like it and i'll do the same thing. Even we are thousands of miles away we somehow influence each other a lot. I told Andrea how great Mac is and she have to have one and Andrea told me about the Origin skin care product and i end up having to order it online! I think i bought a few things just because Andrea told me is good LOL How silly are we.

Anyways You have a great Birthday Andrea


Safari Animals

~Mindy~

Today my Mother and Father in law treated us to a mini trip while Brian was out of town to Mexico on a business trip. They took us to the Long Beach Aquarium of the Pacific. The kids have sooo much fun!!! Justin was soo excited he just wanted to look at everything. He kept wanting to go to the next tanks and see more amazing fishes. There most favorite have to be the Shark Tank. The kids didn't want to leave!! They love the large sharks and different kinda sharks. Ashlyn was just bouncing all over the places, she just couldn't get enough of it. At first i was worried that she might be scare of the large fishes but she end up loving it. I remember when we went to SeaWorld a couple of month ago Ashlyn was sooo scared of the giant fishes. Here are some photos of our trip.

~Mindy~

So how is everyone enjoying easter weekend? So far is been a nice gloomy morning. Hopefully the sun will appear tomorrow for the kiddos.

Justin's day at school

So they other day I was volunteering in Justin's Class, I over heard Justin said to his friend " My name is Justin Terasawa" and his friend say "Your last name sound like Teriyaki". I am sure the little boy wasn't teasing Justin and was just being a kid who spoke his mind. I can see when he get older the kids will really start teasing him. I'm glad I wasn't a Terasawa growing up, but then my maiden name was WORSE. My original name was Nha(Nah) Tu(Two) To(Toe) and yes you got it, everyone called me Nha have two toes growing up! Eekkk i hated that. I really don't know how i ended up being Mindy, I mean i know because i gave myself that name. I also have a few names i used, I don't quite remember but i think it was Jenny, Elaine and some other names but i settle down with Mindy.

SO SWEET!!!

The other day KristinCB have started such a sweet sweet thread over at Digishoptalk. She was complimenting on my Monkey Do kit. It Always make me warm and fuzzy that someone enjoy my work. Thank you so much Kristin and all the wonderful comments.

More stuff up on Sunday

Amyjo have made me some quickpages AGAIN. I love that her quickpages are simple, and she know i'm a simple girl and will create my quickpages according to my style. When Amyjo send me the sample of my Desert Blooms Quickbook, I was absolutely excited that I want to use them myself!


Oh one more thing. No one can still comments on my blog yet!!! Argh I know i'm upset about it myself. I'll think of alternative soon.

Ok ladies enjoy the rest of your Easter Weekend
