Double vday post! Sorry haha! I saw these at @target and I couldn’t say no! They just screamed Valentine’s Day so last minute made tags and wrapped these puppies up and gifted them to the ladies at the office. Swipe to see what I did for my coworker that’s pregnant! Too bad most of the girls took today off 😭 I guess they’ll see it tomo haha!
It’s Valentine’s Day!! Here’s what we did this year for the kids school treats. I say treats but yeah, I try really hard not to do candy. I did raisins one year lol! I’m THAT mom. But this year I designed an activity/coloring card and stuck some crayons in~! Swipe to see a video of each page! :)
Oh wait. January is over. Wait what? Geez why does time move so fast. February and March are going to be craaazy you guys. CRAZY. And then hopefully in April I can finally say good bye to the crazy crazy and just be semi-crazy. Also this pic hahaha. When you’re hanging out with @madebydavinakim and @simplyseraevents and you ask them to make your calendar pretty using whatever was in the room at the time. Skilllllzzzzzz. 😍
Friday introduction? I know it’s been awfully quiet on my feed-popped in and out on my live stories once-but didn’t post last month. But hi! I’m still alive. Still hustling. It’s just so hard to keep up with IG to be honest haha. But one fact about me is that I’m a very private person. It’s difficult for me to openly share if not prompted. Which is probably why posting things on social media doesn’t come naturally for me. BUT if you ask me anything about my life I am an open book! I will tell you anything you want to know. How does that even make sense? Haha. I guess I’m always afraid that people could care less what I have to say but if you ask then obviously you want to know? I’m a classic introvert 🤷🏻‍♀️what about you? Extrovert? Introvert? Private? Open? I asked! Oh and this sign is for a “baby shark” first birthday happening this weekend! Thought the teeth marks were fun hehe so wanted to share. 🦈
Happy New Year!! Wanted to share the Christmas/New Years cards I made this season! I tried to make it more practical since I’m sure most people don’t hang our family picture on their wall all year long 😂 soooo this year I made a simple print on one side they can use as decor (traditional family pic on back), then a separate insert with a calendar, bible reading chart on the inside and new year goals on the back. You can stick it in your bible or you can prop it on your desk to use the calendar! Hope it’s useful 🙈 check out my live stories for a video-made a kids version too!! Let’s start this year right!
2019 will bring about much change. I am leaving the event industry and venturing onward to new adventures!! Still have a handful of events booked but not much. But...looking at my best nine only two of these pictures were actual “paid” jobs haha. Everything else was either for family, friends or just for fun soooo I guess not much will change in that front 😜 still have birthdays to plan and events to host in 2019. Behind the scenes live stories will remain pretty consistent I think. Thank you for all the support!! I always appreciate the love ❤️❤️
She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins. Matthew 1:21 MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!
Finding out that the outfits you picked out for the kids matches the linens you picked out for the place setting....WIN. No joke, I TOTALLY was not thinking of that when I picked out the linens. I just wanted something “cozy”, went to home goods (last minute, surprise surprise) and saw these and thought—yes. This is it. Let’s do it. Before I saw them I wasn’t planning on doing anything haha! I know! But inspiration took over and I just ran with it. I had a lot of fun-I always have a lot of fun hehe. I needed some fun this week. It was definitely a tough week lol. (not because of how busy I was-or being sick-but that was pretty sucky too haha!) 😜
Hahaha my totally last minute sweater!! Literally at like what-5am morning of? Lol oh man why do I do this to myself. The sweater was inspired from the idea that most people actually have a hard time reading handlettering-or cursive in general! My husband will sometimes stare at my stuff and will usually read it wrong haha. Even for myself, I’ll see stuff on IG where I really have no idea what it says and usually have to use context clues to figure it out. 🤷🏻‍♀️🙈 haha but let’s never stop writing!! The more you see it, the easier it is to read ;) two more days!??? Eek!! (Swipe if you need translating for the sweater haha)
Okay to be honest, these came out a lot better than I thought they would and it’s all because of the glitter!! i sort just took a crack at it for fun and was pleasantly surprised how it stuck to the walls of the ornament creating that iridescent glow 😍 sigh. I love glitter. My husband hates it. Good thing I made these while he was asleep-and he didn’t see the crazy mess I made because I kept knocking the glitter over trying to film myself 🤦🏻‍♀️ 😬😬
You know those questionnaires that ask you what your hobby is? I never ever knew what to write because I sort of consider art/design/lettering more as part of my profession-it was never really a “hobby” aka something I would do “just for fun” when I had nothing to do—but now I have a legit hobby. Florals. I feel like I grew a little today figuring this out about myself. Jk-I’m a bit weird from no solid food for three days haha! Anyhoo, this was a fun little arrangement for a special birthday. Making birthday arrangements are my favorite :) Sorry for the ghetto box. Didn’t have much time to take pics haha. #specialdelivery
Sooooo.....I attempted a time lapse but if you’re a real florist DO NOT WATCH. You’ll just laugh at me hahaha. I’m sure there’s a technique to floral arranging but as of now I just do whatever soooo yeah haha :) also this isn’t one of a better arrangements-but I filmed it so didn’t want to waste the effort? Bleh. Anyhoo-don’t laugh. And yay for progress! :) #fakeflorist also-the ranunculuses look fluffy clouds 😍

My beautiful mama turned 60!!! I asked her if I could throw her a big birthday bash and she said no 😂 (60 is a big deal for us Koreans) she said “you already don’t sleep-I’m not going to have you lose MORE sleep over me-REST!” But....I still wanted to do something nice for her 60th so I set up this cake table/backdrop for her. Just for fun-just for us-just to remember this milestone :) posted a sappy dedication to her on my personal Ig account-so this one I’ll be sharing more hacks and tips on some of the stuff you see here! (Visit my live stories!)

Another #fakeflorist post ya’ll~! Got to make a very special arrangement this weekend for a belated birthday gift. These are not Trader Joe’s florals lol. It’s definitely SO different using florals from the flower market 😂 I posted most of these pics up in my live stories so that you can grab them as wallpapers for your phone!! Happy belated @susanjeehee our whole family loves you so much!! ❤️
The hubs turned one year wiser today! I always just stick with what he loves-photos. I’ve seen photos hanging like this off a branch so instead of a branch I made a lasercut of his name instead haha. I also wanted the kids to be a part of this so asked them to draw behind all the pictures! Check out my live stories to see their hard work! Or Matthews’s hard work I should say....Haven isn’t too into coloring sigh. Gotta change that. Happy birthday @therealjohnshin! We love you so very much!
Is everyone out Black Friday shopping?? Here are some snaps of yesterday~ I say this every year but thanksgiving is my favorite holiday to host. My husband and I have been hosting since we got married (8 years ago) and I seriously have so much fun every year. It’s always small-family and church college students that can’t go back home for the holidays. I usually don’t post pictures of the people.....but this year since I wanted to get away from the stigma that you have to have a big house to host-wanted to show/share that no space is too small to host a gathering with loved ones! And yes-I always put up my Christmas tree before thanksgiving :) I consider thanksgiving+Christmas one seasonal holiday 🎄#yayforsmallapartments
Happy thanksgiving everyone!!!!! The IG community is amazing!! ya’ll are superstars! ❤️❤️ side note: I liked the mahagony first (thanks to all who participated in the poll)....but then thought it might be too dark for pics so I ended up hanging the maple one up 😝 which one do you like better? :)
Went for a mismatch look this year for thanksgiving with a “blue theme”? I don’t know, I just like experimenting when I host-try to do things for funsies! :) I took this pic wee early in the morning and Haven woke up, bed hair and all, wanted to be like mommy and take pictures too. She cracks me up. Swipe to see her try haha. A little behind the scenes for ya. #mommyandme #thanksgiving
