Ztampfilicious

Yeah… it feels sooo… good to be home after being away for 2.5 months! Sooo… nice to be with my man again :). It’s been a wonderful trip but I’m so glad to be home! I’m lucky that the weather has been nice too… coolish with low-ish humidity: a real treat for Hong Kong!

My Toronto trip went well too: I really enjoyed spending time with my niece Olivia (11) and my older brother and my sister in law. I helped Olivia made a very special Mother’s Birthday Gift – she’s so proud of it :). We went to Scenic Caves in Blue Mountain – it was fun and interesting. There were some snow still over there! My last day in Toronto was spent in Toronto Wonderland – we took some really scary rides, well, really scary at least for Olivia! She was scared but also really wanted to go on those rides so she really had to work her courage up while waiting in a looong… line. We all so proud of her! She did it and ended up really enjoying the rides too: The Thunder Run, The Time Warp (used ot be called Tomb Rider) – where you were lying down in a ‘cage’ and ‘turned’ into a roller coaster car, The Bat – where the roller coaster cars went backward on the second round and the Klockwerk – the least scary ride we took (except for the SpongeBob 3D Show!). It was a fine sunny day – the park was so full. I wanted to try out the Behemoth, the new huge roller coaster there but it wasn’t operational by the time we got there. It was running earlier in the morning though. Oh well. We did have a fun time regardless.

The flight back to Hong Kong was very long (a total of 18 hours: Toronto – Chicago O’Hare – Hong Kong) and full of delays. It was pretty boring and I was so excited when we finally landed in Hong Kong Airport. My dearest husband already waited for me there – we had a sweet reunion :).

Now tons of work are waiting. First, I will have to get re-organize, and then I have to start Ztampfing… yup, creating brand new kits! I can’t believe I haven’t created anything Ztampf! except for a small accent pack recently for the past 2.5 months! The problem now is to choose which one to make first… I have a long list of kits to make! I also can’t wait to get back to my studio to make more art – but this will have to wait until I got this month’s Ztampfever released on the 15th!

Thanks to everyone who has emailed/left me comments regarding my trip and my art making :). So heart-warming! Talk to you all again on the 15th! (have you subscribed yet?)
