Hi all! I’m super excited to be featured here on the fabulous rikrak studio blog! {editor's note: thanks, cutie! so honoured to have you! }
I'm Sandy from Sandy a la Mode, a blog and more recently, an etsy shop!
I love cupcakes & traveling & shopping for dresses.
{You might be surprised to hear that I travel almost every other week, to cities all over the world, for my full-time job.}
Beyond blogging, my perfect afternoon would be: a picnic, with my husband, eating ice cream, talking about our next vacation (hopefully Australia), listening to Billboard Top 100 songs.
I'm a huge fan of frozen yogurt with mochi + strawberries.

Here's my favourite photo of myself.
I love the photo because that camera strap cover was the first thing I’ve ever sewn and made me realize that I could be a crafty person. Also, most of the time, you can find me behind my camera.
I just finished sewing a bunch of mini drawstring bags for my etsy shop. To celebrate my grand opening, I am offering them for FREE with every order.
I love making anything with puff pastry & sugar.

The sunshine makes me happy & ice storms make me sad (and really cold).
A word I love to overuse is “amazing”.
And I may have made up the word “dramaful.”
I HEART blogging!
Taking pictures for the blog and meeting new bloggers inspires me to keep on posting!
I began blogging to document my journey in cooking, sewing and photography and now I blog about inspirations, our basement renovation progress and other DIYs as well.
What amazes me about blogging is that there is such a VAST community of encouraging, supportive bloggers out there!

Gosh! It's challenging blogging when I have a full-time job, travel all the time, have all this housework,
but fear not, I just try and schedule up posts ahead of time on the weekends so I’m not AS busy on the weekdays trying to blog. It doesn’t always work out that way, but I try! J
One of my favorite blog posts I've ever written is this one on the baby shower I planned for my friend.
I documented with photos the food we prepared, the decorations we made and the games we played.
I spend a lot of time reading other blogs.
I love the rikrak studio blog because it's fun and has posts about a vast variety of topics. { editor's note: superthanks sweetie! }
and I can’t help but check the bright side project blog because it's got giveaways every Monday, Wednesday and Friday – who doesn’t love giveaways?.
and of course the oh hello friend blog is beautiful because it's always got a daily dose of inspiration.
One thing I wish I had learned sooner in bloggyville is that it is super addicting.
and don't worry: if I can get myself to close my computer lid then I can step away for from blogging for awhile and enjoy the fresh air haha.
My favourite part of blogging is that I have been able to meet so many blogger friends online and even some in person.
However, I could do without spam comments.
Something regular happening on my blog these days is my Friday Flavors to Follow posts.
Hope you all enjoyed reading a little bit more about me, a fellow blogger and friend. OK time for me to go, ice cream is calling my name!
