M.I.A.

Has it really been over 3 months since my last post?!
That’s gotta change. 
As soon as I find the time, I’ll do another post

a makeover again.

Hi Readers.
No you haven’t stumbled upon a new blog. It’s still the home of Creative Peeps, but I’m once again experimenting with a new layout. I like the look and feel of this one so much better. What do you think? I’d love some feedback!
Also, I’ve got a customizable banner so I’ll be updating that [...]

pink velvety goodness

Today is BGP’s dad’s birthday and we celebrated with him. Instead of the traditional birthday cake, BGP got him cupcakes from Teacake Bakeshop. They have absolutely the best cupcakes in the San Francisco Bay Area! And why not? As they say on their website:

100 things I miss

I recently joined swap-bot.com, an online swapping community where members from around the world swap photographs, letters, crafts, handmade goods, books — practically everything you can imagine.
Since I like to write and have been wanting to get the creative writing juices flowing again, the first swap I decided to do was to list 100 things [...]

The Five Randoms: A meme

This is a meme that Erin tagged me for several weeks (months?) ago and I finally just got to it. Yay me.

THE MISSION:
(1) Share five random/weird things about myself and (2) share five places that I “want to see or want to see again.”

Okay, here it goes!
Five random/weird things about myself

Trade As One

I’ve had the link to Trade As One on my Lists page for a while, but now I’m actually becoming an active participant.
If you don’t know what Trade As One is, it’s primarily an online store that sells Fair Trade (e.g., no child labor, living wages paid, gender equality, environmental stewardship), high-quality products from [...]
