A Beautiful Wedding

It's been a busy month, I thought I'd come back with a post with photos! Because photos are always a pleasure :)

My cousin (the handsome man in the photos) got married to a wonderful girl. She is now my cousin-inlaw! Helen looked beautiful. Her dress, her make up, her hair, everything. I decided to share these photos with you. Oh and I'm one of the bridesmaid :)

They always thank me for everything. I guess if it wasn't for me, they wouldn't have met.. so I think that's a pretty good feeling to have, knowing that they have found their true love because of me. Okay, of course I didn't do all the work but hey, it just sounds nice.

Photos are taken by Casey Arakawa. There's actually more photos that Casey and Denny took, but haven't taken a look at them. I can't wait to see more photos! What kind of wedding do you want? Do you also day dream about your wedding?

I'm back

I've been hiatus because of my charger for my laptop. Well now I'm back! Since then I didn't really have any access for my blog. Then when I went to check on my etsy, all my listings were gone because they were expired!! There's a lot of things I need to catch up on.

I got this card for my mom. I thought it was really cute!! It was an embossed card. She really liked it. I hope she keeps it forever :) My brother told me to include his name in the card which didn't really make sense to me because I wrote a really nice story about my mom and I when I was in high school then at the bottom it said "and jordan"... My mom knew he didn't sign it, its not his story , its not his signature. Haha but the next day she wrote an email saying she loved my card. So it felt good to make my mom smile.

Well I hope you all didn't forget about me. I'm in the process on working with new jewelry designs! Oh and guess what? I have a job now! Yay! btw, happy birthday sweetie! <3 i love you

I love macaroons!

One of the best desserts I've ever had were Macaroons. My goodness they are really delish! I'm really not sure how to explain how it tastes, but it's great. I tried Macaroons this year I believe, or the end of last year and when I eat one, I have to have more. Like 2-3 more! I haven't tried many flavors but I know people on etsy do make and sell them. I hope I go to one of the craft shows and someone is selling them. That would be fantastic! What's one of your favorite desserts?

Why I didn't blog this week

I realize so much that I rely on my laptop so much! My charger for my mac is broken. I do need to buy a new one. Then Jason mentioned that I should take my laptop in as well since that could be the problem why the charger is not working. My laptop is about 5 years old. I think I will start saving up for a new laptop. But buy a charger for my Mac for now. I did want to buy a new battery but seriously. All that accessories I buy for my mac, is half of a laptop! Of course its not half of a mac. Half of a "pc" laptop. Is that what you call it?

Sorry to my readers, that I haven't been able to post anything up this week because of my laptop. I Haven't been driving to go get it because I have to find a store near by, and I don't like driving in the rain. hehe I already got in a car accident once from the rain. Someone behind me was going to fast and ended up being under my trunk, on the freeway. That was 2 years ago. So that kind of frightened me.

Anyways you still have a chance to use your coupon code from my mailing list.
So be sure to use it soon! It's going to expire!

The story behind "Nina".

Nina was a name that was given to me. Jasmine Nina, Yeup it was good. Well I was in the car scene and I used Nina as my name. There were lots of Jasmine's in the industry when I wanted to start out so I wanted something different, sorta. There were other Nina's that I realized after I used it as my main name. Awe well it was too late.

There were many times that I decided to leave the scene, I started out when I was 18. I enjoyed the attention, the friends I made, the traveling, oh how I miss the traveling! But it was time for me to leave, I achieved what I wanted, get on magazines. After that I was pretty happy. I left the scene at 23. It was time for me to start fresh, and that's where YourSweetTreat came into my life. I have always loved crafts. Before then I just modeled, retouch photos and made website layouts. I was more of a hands on type of girl. As much as I loved modeling, crafting was more important to me. It let me express my feelings, not stress much about anything.

Plus, everyone was happy for me. My family and friends. They always supported me along the way. I don't regret modeling, I met some awesome people who I became great friends with. It's just my past, and it was time for me to move forward.

People still call me Nina, which I don't mind, but Jaz would be good too. :)

Erased the past

So I decided to erase everything on my blog and start something fresh. Something new. Something more exciting. I'm reading "The Handmade Market Place" by Kari Chapin and it's got me thinking.. Improve my business! Well that was the whole point of this book.

I've never been a great writer or blogger, and it says that I shouldn't even be trying that hard on my blog. Blogging should be about me, and what I do. So that's what I'll be blogging about. About me, about my life, about what I'm doing with myself. This blog will state and let you understand who I am. Hi, I'm Jasmine. I was known as a girl named Nina, or actually I'm still known as Nina. And you want to know why? Stick around and you'll find out. :)

And if you already know why, don't spoil it for others. *shakes finger at you*
