Shop Hop Stop #26: Wooten's Scrapbook Co

Last stop, with more goodies to play with!

After lunch and hanging out at Old Towne Orange, I asked Tommy if we could head to Wooten's Scrapbook in Tustin. He agreed and we headed there. The store was pretty big and neat. There were a lot of scrapbook inspirations around the stores. They had a lot layout kits for people to buy.

I picked up some stampings accessories and got a Make N' Take and a bottle cap. The bottle cap was really cute and was creative.

Afterwards, Tommy and I headed to Little Saigon to have Banh Khot and Banh Xeo at Brodard Restaurant. Tommy had been wanting me to try Banh Khot, but couldn't find a place around our area that sells it. Since we were in the OC area, we took the opportunity to try it. Can't wait to head back there for more in the future! :)

Shop Hop Stop #25: Stamp Fever

Starting a new collection - stamps!

Sunday, last day of Shop Hop, I wasn't planning to do anymore shop hopping that day. I was happy with visiting 24 stores to see what every stores were selling. Then, when Sunday came around, Tommy and I decided to head down to Orange County to check out the area. Our stop #25 was Stamp Fever.

When we got there, I think they barely opened. The store was quiet and most of products were sold out. I walked around the store to see what I wanted to buy. Nancy (?) was really nice and spent times showing me the distress inks. Like I said in my last post, I had never done stampings before. There were a lot of great inspirations around the store and couldn't help myself but purchased few big stamps.

I got the Make N' Takes as well as the bottle cap. The bottle cap was so cute! There were different styles of flip flop charms. I took my time to look through each bottle cap she showed me. I kept on looking and really couldn't decide. Eventually, I picked one and couldn't be more happy! Boy, oh boy, there were so many, it was just difficult to choose!

After shopping, we told her that this was our first time to this area. She immediately pulled out a little piece of paper, showing Old Towne Orange. She recommended us that we should walk around. There were restaurants and antiques shops. We took her recommendation and off we went to Old Towne Orange. I am definitely going there again!

Shop Hop Stop #24: Stamping Details

Pretty Japanese Themed Stamps! :)

My last Shop Hop Stop in San Diego was Stamping Details. It was also really closed to my friend's house. The themed destination was Kyoto, Japan.

When we first walked into the store, it was pretty crowded. The store had a lot of stamps for me to choose from. They also had some paper cardstocks as well as embellishments. Mainly, the store has a lot of stamps and stamping accessories.

This store was nicely decorated with a Japanese theme. They had a small table section of Japanese themed stamps. They were all so cute, I wanted to buy them all. However, I needed to watch my budget and not overly spend.

What I loved the most was the Make N' Take. Their Make N' Take was so cute! I had never done stampings the way they do. The lady was so sweet and nice at the Make N' Take table, she patiently helped me put my Make N' Take together. Because this page required for stampings, it had to be done in the store. She helped me with the flocking of the brown branches. While she was showing me, she was also teaching me how it was done. Step by step, I got the page done in front of her. I was quite happy with the page. Not only did I bring home a finished product of the Make N' Take, I also brought home new skills and techniques that I could use in the future.

Of course, I also picked up a bottle cap as well. I love the sakura flower. It's so pretty and cute! If I have a chance, I would love to go to Japan to see and attend the Cherry Blossom Festival.

After we shopped, we headed back to my friend's house to hang out and play with little Evan. It had just been so long since I last seen her. It was nice to see her doing well with a second baby on the way. :) Who knows, she might just be my babies babysitter in the future...

After we hung out, Tommy decided that we should not stay in San Diego, but consider driving back home. We stopped by Roberto's (AGAIN) to have a California Burrito. We shared one, but he loved the one that was made by Mission Bay, he went back inside the restaurant and ordered another one, with sour cream, guacamole in it! He's so picky. Together, we ended up eating 3 burritos that day. No way we are doing that again!
