The D.A.D Project - donate to the Canadian Cancer Society

Last year, two sisters, Emily and Serena, started a project where they listed a drawing a day (D.A.D) on Etsy and the sales would be donated to the Canadian Cancer Society. Through this project they wanted to give back to an organization that helped their father who was diagnosed with colon cancer. Read more about their story at http://www.thedadproject.com/.

The sisters take turns listing a new drawing each day. On Fridays, they feature another artist's work for sale. This week, one of my earrings have been featured!  Customers can purchase these earrings from The D.A.D. Project's Etsy store and all proceeds (minus fees) goes towards the Canadian Cancer Society.

Also, their Etsy shop sells really CUTE pieces of art that I would love to get if I was decorating for a baby's room.

Here is the listing for my 'Creamrose Swarovski Pearl Drop Earrings' if you want to donate to a good cause. They also have an option to donate directly to the The Canadian Cancer Society.

You can read about me and my earrings on their blog.  :P

I'm so happy to be a part of this!

Kids Speak: Michael Jackson

Yesterday was Celebrity day where the students were supposed to dress up as a celebrity. A student comes in the class that morning and here is the conversation:

Student: Ms. Mok, I need a plastic bag.

Me: Why do you need a plastic bag?

Student: I want to be Michael Jackson.

Me: What does Michael Jackson have to do with a plastic bag?

Student: Because Michael Jackson had plastic surgery.

I'm in a Treasury!!!!

See this Treasury where my most popular bracelet so far is featured. The treasury was made by fellow Toronto Team member Sahetah.

My Jewellery Making "Studio"

I think I'm the only person that doesn't have an actual "studio" to make my jewellery.  When I was younger, I never liked using my desk for homework.  I always ended up sitting on my bed or on a couch with my books all laid out in front of my.  It was so much more comfortable than a hard chair and desk.

I actually make my jewellery wherever I feel comfortable.  Whether that may be on my floor or more often than not, in front of the TV. So here are a few pictures of me making a bracelet for a customer. My fiance took these pics one day with the camera he got me.  :)
