What's Sticky

Lo and behold, I'm starting a Tumblr after all. :)

What happened was that I started blogging in this very post when suddenly I realized that what I was writing about was completely out of sync with this blog. I scurried over to the next room and asked my housemate, "remember that book I shared with you the other day? The weird one. Would it be weird if I shared it in my blog?" As those words came out of my mouth, I knew. I knew that if I had to ask about it, I had my answer.

What's Sticky may have slight overlap with some pictures or stories I share here, but it'll be nothing like this creative blog. It's purpose will be to log random things I come across on a day-to-day basis. Things that stick. It's marketing-related. Anyways, I'm rambling.. if you're looking for freebies, tutorials and giveaways, you've come to the right place. :)

Speaking of things that stick... I came across this funny, out of the ordinary picture the other day and it sparked my interest to make a new mini kit!

What do you make of this picture?

Haha, this made me chuckle. :) I'm almost done but I have a few more elements in mind that I'd like to add before I post it as... a giveaway! Details to be announced soon! Here's a sneak preview of what most of it looks like:

And just to celebrate my new Tumblr, here's a freebie for you! Click on the preview to download:

Busy, Busy Bees

This week has been fairly busy. I've been applying for a very important internship, working on a few side projects, balancing my budget, researching fun and interesting marketing books and jogging in my spare time to shake off the jitterbugs. It feels great to finally take a break with my hot cup of jasmine honey tea and crunchy nut thins (have you tried these? they're new, nutritious and very delicious! you can find them here), and blog to you guys.

I was digging through some digiscrapbooking pages from over the last two years and thought I might share some every now and then for inspiration. I'll be sure to link any quickpages I have used for you to pick up.

Back in late 2009, I became an active member of the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) at UC Riverside and immediately joined the board as Historian Chair. UNICEF is dedicated to saving the innocent lives of children across the globe through humanitarian efforts and collecting funds.

Thousands of children die from preventable causes every day. Children, who for lack of clean water or food or basic medical care, won't get to grow up. On behalf of the world's children, UNICEF strives to reduce that number to zero. You can join their efforts through their website or help by donating here.

Joining UNICEF at UCR sparked my interest to play a more active role in our community. It was such a pleasure to work among fellow students who were also passionate about giving back and making a real difference. As Historian Chair, I blogged about our activities on the UNICEF at UCR Website (due to technical and financial circumstances, the original website has been taken down), took meeting and event pictures, and scrapbooked to my heart's content. :) So don't be surprised if you see 'UNICEF' stamped on many of the pages I'll be sharing over the next few months. Here's one that inspired a freebie I made below:

Kit: Le Petit Poodle

Since my schedule has been pretty busy the last couple of weeks, I made an agenda/ weekly planner for you other busy bees out there! I hope it comes in handy. :) Just click on the preview to download:
