  2. diy pops for parties

    May 28, 2011 by barbara

    Eventhough the birthday party for my 6 year old is over, I am still visiting food and party blogs for some party treats.  I don’t know what has gotten over me but I don’t mind organizing another birthday party because I’m so going ga-ga over these oreos and marshmallow pops.  I saw them at Hip Hip Hooray.  They are so simple to make and the result is so much fun.

    The cooking instructions are the same.  Get some sucker sticks for the oreos or marshmallows, stick into frosting,  melt chocolate using double boiler, dip cookie/marshmallow into chocolate, sprinkle them with colourful sprinkles.  Ain’t that fun?

    One of the continents that I wish to visit before I leave this world is Europe.  This continent is not only rich in historical significance but it also contains a rich architectural dynasty that is centuries old.   I enjoy visiting the exquisite museums, art galleries, magnificent monuments and etc. The first city that I would love to visit is Zurich, the largest city in Switzerland.  It is one of the world’s most picturesque destination.  The art scene in Zurich is also well developed and there is a large collection of fine art at the Zurich design‘ museum.

  4. DIY Gift Wrapping

    May 27, 2011 by barbara

    I have been visiting many craft blogs lately and feeling very inspired.  Perhaps I should start a Craft blog and post about the lovely projects which I have seen.  That way, I can always go back to read them and try to do some of the crafts eh?  What I love most are the creative paper packaging for gifts.  There is nothing better than a simple brown kraft paper as gift wrapper.  There is so much you can do to decorate the gift.

  5. Getting Rid Of Lower Tummy Bulge

    May 23, 2011 by barbara

    Besides wanting to get my hands on some hgh releasers badly, another thing that is on top of my list is this Lower Stomach Beauty Trainer from Japan Trend Shop.  I want to get rid of my lower tummy bulge as soon as possible.  Actually I want to get rid of the whole tummy bulge and not just the lower part.  This slimming exercise cushion is effective and all you need to do is to slide your feet and legs into the holes and twist your body from side to side.  Easy?   I think I can spend 30 minutes doing this while watching the tv.  This cushion is great for slimming the waist and stomach.  Plus you do not need a lot of space to store it.  Can’t wait to see my toes when I’m standing up.

    While the spouse was busy helping a friend to look for a barcode scanner for his new retail store, I was at my netbook surfing the internet for ideas on how to decorate my daughter’s room.  I came upon this really cute Ice Cream Cone wall decal from Wall Candy Arts.   This chalkboard decal is spacious and just apt for a little girl’s room.  The sprinkles and stars can be arranged in anyway you like.

  10. Alessi Apostrophe Orange Peeler

    May 13, 2011 by barbara

    I came across this nifty orange peeler – Alessi Apostrophe from Amazon.com yesterday.  What is does is that it cuts through the peel and leave decorative marks on the orange.  The Alessi Apostrophe also features an ergonomic design which allows the hand to hold easily.  It is made from precision-cast steel with mat finish for easier grip.   Unless I work in a restaurant or I am someone who love throwing fancy parties and use oranges as decoration, I do not think I would get this cool orange peeler.  Would you?
