Happy Holidays :)

One of my beautiful friend/model! Happy Holidays!

My current obession before I go to bed - $68

Tell me one good reason why I should sell this to you for $55dollars and I'll decide if your comment was legit to get $13 dollars off.

New Creations by me!

Sometimes it's just so hard not to create and keep these items for myself. Nothing gives me a greater sense of accomplishment than to make beautiful jewelry that other people like :)

With my busy schedule, I need to find time to take more creative pictures with my beautiful jewelry because I feel like I am not respecting my work enough :(

Messed up my blog??

I think I messed up my blog. I was trying to clean and create a better work space for my jewelry/photography for my jewelry...and landed my book on my mouse and it clicked like crazy. I thought I had a virus, but then realize it was just my mouse. I have no idea what the changes were, but i just heard Ding ding ding ding ding. LOL, I guess I'll find out soon enough?

Anyway, I told a friend I was going to post up this picture and I was thinking of him when I was making this because he teaches me things like a mentor and we chat like buddies, so here it is!

In Need of time!

I need more time. I don't even have time to take pic of my jewelry to fix my website, but here's a sneak peek

What's up?

I've been so busy being consumed by everything, I have neglected blogging my my jewelry making. I decided this weekend I was going to work on updating my site, but homework came up and prevented me from doing so. I guess I'll show you my art homework for now. Feel free to comment. :)

Image is inspired by violin :)

P.S I love stars

Renovations!

There are so many things that needs reconstruction in my life.. I am just taking it one step at a time. There's just too little time for too many things. One thing is saying good bye to this bathroom sink and cabinet..... it lasted for a long time and still works good, it's time to retire.. I hope your replacement can last as long as you did.

bye my friend :)

past current and future~

There are many things going on in my life and my mind right now.
I have to get my website re-done, which I didn't have time to take new photos of my product...
I am working full time, taking a master degree in quality management and I just signed up for art school. I know, some of you might think what the hell is she thinking of..but i signed up for adobe classes :) so I am way excited!


anyhow...I just stated my current and my future.. :) so here's a pic from the pass...

I would say I have pretty good parking skills :) too bad i can't find the original big picture

Life. Chances. <3

Life's about taking chances... if there is something you want to do, go for it. Please, just know the risk that is involved with it.

Don't get addicted and know when to stop.

Time..

A lot of times we are pressed for time. 24/7 is no longer enough time to work full time and do everything you want. There are many things to explore in this world and so little time to do it...

This is where a fairy with a magical wand should come into play..

Fairy: What's on your mind?
Alli: things...

Fairy: what kind of things....?
Alli: EVERYTHING!

Fairy: what is this EVERYTHING?
Alli: nothing..

Fairy: what do you mean by EVERYTHING and then nothing??
Alli: EVERYTHING because there is no limitation...... nothing, because if you don't try anything, you'll have nothing!

Fairy started waving her wand and said..."Look up and there is limit"

Alli looked up...and said where???

Fairy respond.. my child, the sky is your limit. There are endless possibilities...... and with the sky, YOU have no limit. It's just a matter if you want to try or not! :)

SO remember, if you try, you gain a chance, if you do nothing, You won't even have a chance!

What's up?

SO there are a lot of things that are going on and too little time to do things. I'll update blog later :)

CT -- Connecticuit

So I've made it to CT and tomorrow we will go do many things with family!

Here's a picture of my aunt's veggie garden! :) I regret for not bringing my SLR camera :(





well there is also a little area for her flowers~~

Technology

Technology is such a .. powerful but yet stressful thing!
SO my computer crashed and I am in the process of re-installing everything.

Lucky, i didn't LOSE everything, but still lost things..... I will update soon.

Congratz J&C!

That's right~ Aside from making jewelry and other activities, I love taking pictures. Thanks J&C for allowing me to take your engagement photos and allowing me to upload this pic. I enjoyed spending time with you guys :)

<3 - Happy belated Mother's day!

Today, I went shopping with my mother. We had a BLAST! We spent around 200 bucks but we got a pretty good bargain. I got some working clothes and some night cream for my face. MY skin is real sensitiveee so .. hopefully this cream we got works. Oh, also, my mom finally got to meet one of the managers I tell her about. It was real weird! LOL he was so dressed down I didn't know it was him! :), but it was nice to see him :)

Today, saw some jewelry and I just love how they look. Gems are just beautiful! After seeing some that I like, I decided to make something myself..... an Anklet. LOL :)

Memories. Good bye seventy-four!

Our family has rented this apt for over 30 years with 3 generations living in this space for at least a day in our life. Usually when I need a vacation, I would come to this place where a warm smile and a breeze of love comes my way. I usually would sleep to all type of noises (besides rats) when I stayed in this apt.......now it will all be a memory, that shall never be forgotten.

good bye manhattan, 74~

O-M-G!

OMG my site is almost done!! haha it's still under construction because I didn't have time to focus on it... but I can't wait until I am done!

Next step would be creating business cards! I think I will miss the deadline for the post card ones, but....... i will have to settle for something that is free for now. :)

Time to sleep! GOOD nite!

HTML!

I've been so busy recently that I didn't have time to blog.
I've been selling Jewelry, working on registering for school and making my own website. I gave up using flash for now. I am trying to bring back memory re-call for dreamweaver so I can get my website up.

After hours of attempt, I am actually recalling certain things back!!
If I can only dedicate more hours to it... (maybe a whole day) I should be able to get it done before april hits :)

I will keep you posted!

Currently, this is what's on sale. :)

I was reminded that St. Patrick's day is coming up soon, so I made a a few pair of earrings for it. To those who are interesting in buying it from me please e-mail me to find out the cost. :) My website is still under construction, but I would like for these to go to those who celebrate it :)

P.S. I dont have my camera with me, but when i took a pic last time, i was able to get one side of the earring so i just doubled it for you to see. payment would be through pay pal :) Also I do not ship outside of the US without coordination first.

Update!

Hi Everyone!

I bet everyone is excited to see my website with Jewelry offerings from the teasers, but it's not ready yet, so please be PATIENT!

However, instead of thinking about my AFFORDABLE Sterling Sliver~ that will be coming soon, here's some pictures from my camera for this blog. LOL, please remember this this blog is for my photography work so here are some pictures for your eyes!

Website~ UPDATED

Guys! My website is almost doneeee! After all the hair ripping and shouting... it's almost done ;) I just need to finish it up with m contents... maybe.. this weekend or beginning of next week, it will be done.

Thank you all for all the comments by e-mail and live chat about the teaser jewelry. I hope you guys will enjoy my pieces and be back for more.

I want to thank my supporters and all my clients who have already started purchasing pieces from me~~ :)

check out the teaser!

Home~

I want to own a home. My goal at one point in life was to own one, but now it seems like it's becoming almost impossible...

My dream house will have 3 rooms and definitely need parking.

Earrings, Sterling Silver Ear Loop - edited

Here's another teaser... but this pair is not for sale. Still debating if I want to even sell it...

In the background of this earring is Sterling plated, so it's silver and not black. I just need the time to figure out how to make the earring, actually look like itself. :)

Survey, how much would you pay for this earring if you were buying it for urself or other people?

$10, $15, $20?

BTW, these are real crystals and all the other components are Sterling Silver!


I was asked by a few people...the length of the drop is actually a little over an inch and width is a little over 1/2 an inch so it's not really that big.

Tiny sneak peak of my jewelry to sell collection.

haha.. a tiny sneak peek.

Update -- Finally!

Sorry to keep everyone waiting, but I was busy preparing a website for my soon to be business! I will keep everyone posted for that when my site is ready.. :)

Below are some images I got when I was traveling... enjoy


moon during the day light! Wonderful~~

On the way home...

Coming soon....

FYI - I was so busy doing things yesterday I didn't get to post. Today I will update my blog with two things.

New Pictures
Update on an upcoming link to jewelry.... :)

Update

This week has been a crazy week. My mother has been dizzy for a few days and the medicine the doc gave her didn't kick in right away so I was really busy trying to make sure she is alright. Now, today she is feel a lot better and can actually stand up on her own, so without further a-do (don't know the correct spelling......) I will update my blog tonight.

Happy Early Valentine to my Readers/Followers!

I appreciate all that comes to my page so this post is dedicated to all my READERS/FOLLOWERS! :) There would be no meaning to this blog if you guys don't exist!

Thanks!!

Special note to those who make a difference in my life...

Today was a ending to a very special chapter in my life, but also the beginning of a wonderful journey. For the LAST 14 weeks, I was in a room weekly with a great group of people who coached me to find my COURAGE, MoTivaTion, and EnThusi--asm! It was a great experience before we all share great stories and etc with each other that helped each other grow.

One thing I learned a lot from each and everyone was their will power and everyone's eagerness to live an intentional life. I want those who read this post, to leave this blog thinking to yourself about what goals in life and how you can live a more intentional life. I also want you to take that extra step, and tell someone positive so they can start living an more intentional life through the influence of you like others have done for me.

Besides these people who have spent 14 weeks with me. I want to thank my mentor who has been there and already built this foundation of support before I met these new "special group" of friends within the last few months.

:)

Thanks for the visit! K.I.T. and thanks to those who taught me the real meaning of a dollar store. :)

aww

I saw the below post on 3 different screens and each time I got color difference. I think I'll lighten up the pics later and re post them :)

Capture These Moments

I absolutely love these picture! What DO you THINK?

Helen C. Kelleher

I believe it when people say a PICTURE is worth 1,000 WORDS!

I admire and love this photo, taken from a blog I follow....
http://www.helenkelleherphotography.blogspot.com/


I often look for guidence, motivation, and inspiration through other's work and in today's post, I can tell you why I am motivated to succeed.

#1 This is a great photo of Grace (referenced in Helen's blog)

#2 I've reviewed a lot of Helen's work and it's wonderful already as a black and white photograph, but

#3, Helen just knows how to capture these lovely images

Now, I know some might say, what the hell, is this girl talking about?
We'll, if you look at this picture, it has texture and color. It might seem like a simple shot, but in reality it's not! Give it a try, and tell me if it works and then email me! :)

In the mean time, go see more of her work. :)

Very Odd instance!

So I've been posting photos for a while. I realize when I am at someone else's place, or someone is looking at it on a different computer, the pictures are extremely dark or darker than what I see on my computer. That's very odd to me and I'm not sure if I should adjust anything =T

J's Photo Shoot

First one called --
I FOUND GOLD!

Here's the OUTSIDE Shoot
J has the perfect height as a model!

BLOG CHANGE!!

So I've been told by a friend of mine that my blog is too random and that I should stick to one or two topic. I think he's right...so starting today. I am going to restructure my blog! I am going to have either pics of food or people! I will keep scenery out of it. I will post it else where if i absolutely have to! :)

I will be starting my own website sooon!!! SOOOo excited!!

I like this picture

I like this picture in black and white!

Addiction...No Computer

Since the leak happened in my room, I was unable to use my desktop for photography. That has caused me to be sad because I want to update my blog!! :( I guess I have to try to work with what i have.

Roofing. Worst NIGHTMARE!

image is taken from www.ci.san-ramon.ca.us/bldgrefer/nailing.htm

so i have an issue. what issue? issue is that my roof is leaking again after I got it repaired 3 months ago!! Sigh. Don't really know what to say, but it's draining my energy level. I will use my Dale Carneagie principles and prepare to accept the worst..... hopefully i wont get a huge huge bill to fix this problem.

Winter Collection!

Thanks for giving me the chance to take these pictures for you :)
