My Mom's 69th Birthday

June 23, 2011 was my mom's birthday.  She is 69 years old.  Of course, she does not look like her age.  She looks young and pretty for her age :).  Anyway, we celebrated it with family.  We BBQ'd and cooked home good food.   My family was not complete, but at the end it was a success.  My mom was happy.  I made my first version of Strawberries covered with belgium chocolate.

About Me

I created this website in order for me to document my creative journey.  Well, I don't really have a talent, but I'm learning.  This is my way to keep me occupied and hopefully forget the pain I'm going through losing my dearest husband, John.   It is more than a year already when my husband died.   He died on March 2, 2010.  The pain is still unbearable.  I do thank God I have the support from my family and friends, but at the end of the day, I still feel empty.   I miss my husband so terrible, so I'm trying to focus and help myself by trying to keep myself busy.  I started throwing party for my family.   Instead of just buying decorations, I have decided to do DIY.   It actually started when I threw a Baby Shower for my son and his girlfriend.  Then the rest follows.
