Dollar Day!!!

Surprise!! Scrapable is having their Dollar Day! Hurry up, as it will be ending in about 12 hours approximately! There are over 1oo products available for the ridiculous price of 1$... So you better hurry up!! Here are a couple of items you can find for a buck:

I am addicted...

To cupcakes!! Seriously. I have this new obsession and I just can not get over it! I am in love with them! They are so cute, and they taste... Delicious! The best cupcake I have ever ate is a Lemon cupcake, with buttercream icing, decorated with pansy flowers. Yes. Real edible pansy flowers. I have found this website where they tell you everything you need to know about making these little edible flowers! Check it out HERE!

And then... My ultimate favorite cupcake books has to be this 500 Cupcakes by Fergal Connolly. Honestly, the recipes are so yummy! And they are fairly simple! Be sure to check out the entire collection... They have 500 Cookies, 500 Cakes, 500 Pies, 500 Soups, 500 Apetizers, 500 Pizzas. They are all very useful! =)

And last but not least... My body cream! Honestly, I am totally addicted to this wonderful body cream by Bodycology. The vanilla cupcake smells makes me want to... Lick my hands all the time! I just can not stop using it. I find myself putting that cream on several times a day, just because it smells good. I have never been so addicted to a cream before! I definitely need to get more of their product, I totally LOVE this brand. Check it out for yourself right HERE!

Looking back, I have this to regret, that too often when I wanted a cupcake, I did not have one.

I am so honored, and happy about Captivated Visions new template set. Why? Well, because they were inspired by ME!! Yes. That's right! For the first time, you can have Mycau's LOs made into templates! Isn't that exciting? Oh well, at least it is for me!

New Releases!

I hope everyone is enjoying their week-end so far! I am here today to share with you some amazing new releases! Let's start with Scrapable first! Friday is new release day at Scrapable, and here are the new goodies you can find in the store! =)

First... Scrapshana! She have 2 kits that were released yesterday. One is called Brain Freeze! It truly is perfect for all your summer pictures! The kit is full of popsicles and really bright colors! Here's what I have done with it!

And her next kit is actually 2 mini-kits! Combine the 2 together, and you will end up with a full kit! It is title Fly Me to the Moon! I really love the papers in that one, and the elements are just too cute!

Next is a gorgeous kit from Dream Big Designs titled JayBird Street. I honestly adore the color combination! This kit is full of cute little birds and pretty little flowers! I really loved playing with it! The LO I made is actually a 2-page LO, for an album I am currently working on. It is my very first attempt at making a project like this and I am actually pleased with the final result! Here it is!

There is also a new release from CagedBird Design that I played with this week called You've Got a Friend in Me! This kit is so versatile, it's good for friendships of all ages, girls or boys! Again, this color combination is fantastic and the elements are very cute!

And last but not least... Mye De Leon, previously called Bubblescrap Designs! She is now selling at Gotta Pixel, and have a brand new release in the store! It is called With Minth & Cream Please! It is very elegant, very soft color palette and unique elements! You should hurry up, this wonderful bundle is on sale for the ridiculous price of 5.59$! You get the kit, the clustered borders and the stacked papers! It is a GREAT deal! =)

Chasing Harry Winston!

I have been reading this book this week by Lauren Weisberger, title Chasing Harry Winston. I. Am. Loving. It! I am almost done, and I started it last Sunday! I really like these girlie type of books! Shopping, men, friendships... And Weisberger's book is just PERFECT for my taste!

Meet Adriana, Emmy and Leigh, 3 girlfriends that desperately need some changes in each of their life! Adriana, the sexy bresilian, needs to stop sleeping with every men she finds attractive. She needs to grow up a little, and realize that sex and money isn't the only answer in life! Emmy is the complete opposite! Relationships after relationships, she had enough of it. Emmy should stop dating for a little while and have a bit of fun! Follow her adventures, while she travels over the world looking for some men to help her accomplish her goal: having sex with no strings attached! Last but not least, Leigh, the one who's life is perfect the way it is. According to her friends. But what's perfect about being a workaholic, stuck in a relationship that don't make her happy like it should?! Leigh will need to find herself, and follow her heart, once and for all...

Home Made Chicken Pad Tai!

Ok, I promessed a recipe for the longest time now. Here it is! LOL I am sorry it took so long, I lost my USB wire to upload pictures on my computer. My step father had 3, so luckily he was able to give me one! So finally, I can stick to my words!

This week, I really didn't want to get TOO involved in the kitchen, as it is still VERY hot. However, a girl needs to eat! So I decided to make that simple Chicken Pad Tai recipe. It really is so simple fast, yet very yummy!

What you need:
Chicken- I'll let you be the judge on how much chicken you need. Of course, it'll all depends on how many people you've got to feed! Slice your chicken into bite size pieces.
Asian Stir-Fry Veggies- I normally buy the frozen ones. Considering I am alone, it just makes it that easier for me. If you prefer fresh veggies, I recommend you have brocoli, onions, green peas, carrots, mini corns and water chestnut.
Fettucini or rice noodle.
1 Egg
1 enveloppe of ClubHouse Pad Thai Seasoning Mix.

Optional: chopped peanuts, grated ginger, sesame seed,

What to do:
First, boil some water to cook your noodle. While the noodles are cooking, cook your chicken in a little bit of oil. Once your chicken is grilled a little, put it aside in your pan. Add your egg and scramble it. Once your egg is cooked, add all your vegetables and mix it all together. Let it cook by mixing it often for a couple of minutes, until your chicken is ready. Add your ClubHouse seasoning mix with 1 cup of water (add also your ginger if you decided to use any!). Let it sit there, covered, for about 5 minutes. By now, your noodles should be ready! Dump your noodles in your pan, mix it well, add your peanuts and/or sesame seeds... And you are ready to eat!

FYI- This meal will even be better the next day, as the noodles rest in the sauce, they will get more flavor!

New Store for Mye!

Mye De Leon Digital Design is opening her store at Gotta Pixel and is having an incredible sale for the event! Her entire store is at 40% off until the 23rd of July! Be sure to check it out!

Every day is a new beginning. Treat it that way. Stay away from what might have been, and look at what can be.

Grab A Byte... By Mye De Leon!

I am always excited when Mye De Leon (previously called Bubblescrap) is releasing a new kit! She keeps on surprising me... Her stuff is beautiful, elegant and so refreshing! Which I believe is the reason why she have decided to change her designer name. Bubblescrap was cute, which doesn't really represent her style anymore. So I introduce you to Mye De Leon Digital Designs!

And of course, I have a brand new kit from Mye to show you today. It's for the Scrapbook-Bytes Grab a Byte Sale. You know what it means?! It means that every single part of that beautiful kit is available for only 1$! Of course, you should grab it as soon as possible, because it won't be cheap like that for a very long time! Mye have made 2 mini-kits for this sale, so in the end... You end up with one full sized kit! Isn't that cool?! And be sure to check what the other designers did, with the same color palette! You could end up with a super mega kit!

Life is its own journey, presupposes its own change and movement, and one tries to arrest them at one's eternal peril.

And she's back!

Ok. I do apologize for not posting anything since Tuesday. But let me explain... We've been having the most discusting weather in Montréal, and let me tell you... I was way too lazy to do anything. It's been CRAZY hot and humid here. We actually had the hottest heat wave in history... The weather was anywhere between 105-115 all week, including humidex. And guess what?! I don't have A/C in my small little apartment... And I'm on the 4th floor. So I wasn't really productive! Now it's a little better, we actually had crazy thunderstorm on Friday... There was so much rain!! It chilled the air a little and it's now much more comfortable! I was planning on cooking this week, but again... I ate salad all week, I didn't want to start the oven... So hopefully I'll get to cook this week and show you some pictures and share my recipes! We'll see how it goes!

Alright, enough rambling... There IS a reason why I am posting right now! Rachel from Captivated Visions has released a beautiful kit this week-end! Remember her "In His Teens" Grab a bag?!

Well, for this Gotta Grab It sale by Gotta Pixel, she actually made the girlie version of this kit... That's right! In Her Teens has now hit the store and is ready for you to use! You should hurry, since every part of it is currently available for only 1$! And be sure to check the other designer's matching kits!

When you want something in life, you just GOTTA reach out and GRAB IT.

2$ Tuesday

It's 2$ Tuesday over at Scrapable! Check out the wonderful stuff that is currently on sale! And that includes MordernJune's brand new kit Beach Bound! You won't want to miss it! =)

And the weather is still very hot here. I think it's even worst than yesterday. And they say it'll be that way for the rest of the week. And all I want is...

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ICE CREAM!!!
