Announcement: Christmas 2012
Nov. 30 is the last day for your Christmas orders to be shipped by regular shipping. Please plan ahead! I just hate to tell any of my customers that their gifts wouldn't arrive before the big day or that they'd have to pay so much extra for fast shipping.

True jewel
Sweet Danielle..
Many months ago, on a warm late-spring early summer day, I was sitting on a sofa at my mom's living room and Danielle was busy following around her grandma while she was doing gardening in the yard. After some time of quietness, Danielle bursted in from the front porch and excitedly brought these cute pair that she had found in the garden right before my eyes. She yelled, "Mommy, Mommy! I got these earrings. Just for you! Like you make jewellery! I got these! For you!"
Wow. How did she know bits and parts of the nature are the true jewels for all?!
These will certainly be the earrings of my life time! And absolute one of a kind. : )
Intricate details and exquisite masterwork for such transient pieces... A glimpse of the Creator's competence.

Another poster
Not related to the commercial side of my work, however, I still wanted to share this poster I created for a non-profit team because I like the way it turned out. : ) I hid the personal information given on the poster with a piece of electronic masking tape. Neat!
Commercial work of mine is at BOiS & BOiScreation.

Christmas 2012 Poster
My favourite season of the year is just around the corner!
I so hated all the horrific decorations of Halloween and couldn't wait for it to pass. I don't understand how an anchorwoman of a news channel points to those horrible displays (I don't want to call them decorations because decorations suppose to decorate) and say, "Oh, look at the cute Halloween displays!" Cute?! I only see dead corpse drenched in red blood with an axe or knife in their heads. We must have completely lost our aesthetic taste or out of our mind. The month of October was a very displeasing time that saddened me deeply.
Anyhow, it gave me a good motivation to gear up my lazy hands to prepare for Christmas early in time this year. : )
Hope you enjoy the announcement banner I created for BOiS Facebook!

Fresh look
I am rearranging the studio as of right now. Phew~ It's taking longer hours than I thought. Anyhow, this is how it looks! I got a new table and raised it high so I can do all the packaging and assemble jewellery standing up. Much more work to be still done. Book shelves and raising of the table done by the world's greatest husband JB.

Reality check
Suddenly, I realized...
that I've lost my gut and innate vigorousness along the way,
not because I desired to follow the narrow path that Jesus walked,
but just to get along with this new community which I call devoted Christians,
to be accepted
and gain respect which I had never been able to cherish in the secular party.
I could say about myself that I acted gutsy and vigorously in my early years because it is the attitude that secular people like and respect. And, then, as the new chapter of my life began, I gradually picked up these characteristics of peace-making, kindness, integrity, and so on.
Now, let's be honest with myself here.
Who am I?
What am I really like?
I'm not kind.
I'm sharp tempered and sensitive.
I love peace but hate peace-making.
I value integrity but I lack.
It's time to get down to earth,
work from there and up.
For the right reason and purpose this time.
After all this talk and thought,
what I need is God's forgiveness and acceptance.
Needing to hear "I already loved you for who you are."

New project
Yay!! I'm working on a new project and the cards I ordered just arrived today!
God answers prayers so faithfully; I'm just amazed. My story is this. I am planning to donate minimum 30 pieces of BOiS jewellery to YWAM Toronto and we will be selling them at Campus Conference 2011 for three days to raise funds for YWAM. So, in my clever wisdom, given by Him of course, I was able to order 250 cards desigmated for the event. I was happy to order the stack because not only I could hang each piece on a card in display but it would also be a good memento for the students attending the conference. Only thing is that I didn't calculate the shipping time and the package was supposed to arrive here by the 27th which is the starting date of the conference. I needed at least three days prior to the date for preping the pieces. Timing was just too risky. The 250 cards and my good work effort were on the verge of falling to nothing because of a split second of my heedlessness. Only if I read over the descriptions before hitting the order button one more, after the 10th time.
Last Sunday, I asked a couple of my friends to pray that the package would arrive in time. And, VOILA! Here it is today! I had initially paid for 21 day slow shipping. But for some reason, God of course, I received an email from the card company yesterday that the shipping method was upgraded, and today I actually received it by UPS Expediated. This fast! I'd thought about three days prior would be good enough. How amazing is that? The kind of work God does. : )
So, here you see the card I will be using during the conference from December 27 to December 30, 2011. The theme of the conference is "Fire Of Love" so I chose this passionate design. Pretty, huh? : ) I'm very satisfied with the weight of the paper and its glossy finish. (On the other hand, BOiS cards I ordered in matt finish are quite disappointing and I'm sad. Stuck with hundreds of them. Sigh.) I guess this would be the last event happening at BOiS for the year. Merry Christmas, everyone!
