New Year 2011

Just a few hours until midnight... bringing in the positive energies of 2011, year of the Rabbit! 2010 is quite an interesting year for me... because of the fact that I have never thought that I would have a passion for something I didn't know I could do, and be good at it. I always thought that I would just come from work, go home, then go to work again the next day. But I discovered so much more than just going to work. Making jewelry IS my passion, creating new things and beautifying things IS my passion. And being a Libra, ruled by the goddess of beauty, Venus, justifies what I love doing.


Looking back in the year 2010, I am glad that I took the chance to try new things. And will keep going, and continue doing what I love to do! 


2011 is going to be a great year! New items, and new Lines coming up! For Crochet line, so far, there are 4 hats I've made and 3 Bag charms. Release is on January 9th, sunday. 


Spring Collection 2011 release date to be announced but it will be sometime in the beginning of February! Please watch out for it! I am proud of every item made and up to now, ideas are still coming to my head, I hope they won't stop flowing (:


I would like to Thank everyone who supported me in my first year of journey of The PurpleShmurple Shoppe. I couldn't do it with out all of you! Please continue to support, and tell your friends about The PurpleShmurple Shoppe.

So it's still snowing outside... We're supposed to get 8-16 inches of snow up here in the North East! But the snow didn't keep us from staying home! We went on our adventure of driving 2 hours from NJ to Queens NY just to have our most favorite Fried Chicken and it was well worth it! Then we drove 3 hours back to go home going about 25m/h pace! The experience was tiring, but unforgettable! Here are some of our pictures...

This tastes as good as it looks!

It's best with rice!

Rain or Snow, here we go!

Jollibee with the family!

Queens, NY

Hope everybody had a wonderful sunday!

until next time!

This was Best Christmas ever since 2006! Nothing is ever more special than spending my Christmas with my loved ones! We started with our traditional midnight mass that started at 11 pm on the eve of Christmas, then went home, had some coffee and apple pie, then went to bed at  2am. Woke up ready to open presents but we had to wait til everybody got to the house so we ended up opening presents very late at around 4pm! But that's okay because we enjoyed every minute of our day! We had dinner and dessert, then after, we played Kinect (Xbox) with Dance Revo to exercise a little bit, then mid night snacks again! All in all, it was amazing! Hope everyone had a great time with their family as much as I did!

Midnight mass at St. Thomas Church

Me and my husband behind us is the Nativity!

Watch out for it!

It's late and I need to go to bed because we plan to go to NYC tomorrow, but not sure if we def are because of the coming snow storm! 

good night everyone!

CROCHET

I learned crocheting at a young age and forgot how I loved to make stuff from yarn! So I decided to make lots of things from yarn and put it to the store! There will be bags, scarves, and hats coming soon! This is what I got from my local craft store the other day! Yayyy for yarn!

The good thing is, Crocheting is not only for the winter months! I can make light stuff for summer and of course, thick things for winter. Items will come out next year around January/February.

Hey guys! I know I haven't blogged in awhile! There were lots of things going on these passed 2 weeks! I hope everybody's doing well and is having a great weekend! I have been busy with sponsorships, custom orders, and donations lately but happy to finally finish everything!

November is Epilepsy Awareness Month and the color for it is guess what? Purple! (: Many of you may have heard that The PurpleShmurple Shoppe sent out Winky Cupcake Necklaces to contribute in anyway to raise epilepsy awareness. Florida is holding it's biggest bake sale to raise money for researches and treatments. And the baked goodies chosen were cupcakes! That is why the necklaces are donated so they can give it away to people who take part on the Awareness. Please check out their website and donate or support in anyway you can!

In addition, I made a Purple Epilepsy Awareness Ribbon Necklace and is sold at my website so all proceeds will go to the Epilepsy Foundation of Florida. It is sold for only $10 and with your support, it can definitely help! So far, $60 has been raised since I put it up on the store yesterday! so please support by purchasing this ribbon necklaces!

I did a revision this morning and was very well pleased with the results. You see them everywhere! Cars, T-shirts, jewelry etc. So here's what i came up with:
