Spicy Buttered Shrimp for Hubby!

Was really looking forward to Sunday. My hubby was working 13 days straight and this Sunday was finally his rest day! I pity him a lot because the nature of his work was physically and mentally demanding. I could only imagine him counting the days till tprecious day. Today, to make his rest day more special I prepared him a special dish, Spicy Buttered Shrimp!

How to make it:
I decided to keep the shell on and just cut the shrimp's antenna. The shrimp with the shell is more flavor full. After cleaning it I let it simmer in 7Up (soft drink). This will add sweetness to the shrimp and its sauce. Set aside the shrimp after it simmers. Saute garlic in butter, add the shrimp and lee kum kee spicy garlic sauce. You can add more spicy garlic sauce depending on your taste. Finally, ENJOY! Just like my hubby did!

Designed! Sealed! Delivered!

Finally made the first wedding cord for a fellow W@Wie! I was so excited to design and make this cord, the theme was inspiring and the bride is sweet and pretty! The wedding theme was cherry blossoms and my creative juices was over flowing for it!  Words that are flashing through my head was dainty, pretty, sweet, elegant and of course timeless!

It was actually breakeven for this piece, but  the reaction of Sis Jen was enough payment! Really!!! I really didnt scrimp on the material with this one, made it as if it was my own. Sis Jen ordered  for all glass and crystal beads but I threw in few Swarovski crystals for the added shade of pink.  The darker hue of the Swarovski added character to the cord. The finish product was something I was really proud of! Even hubby was amazed with how cherry blossoms was interpreted in the design.  The different shades of pink was perfect! It was so lovely I was telling myself, "Lovely things for the lovely bride."
