Yesterday was the American Thanksgiving day and my husband and I had a lovely time hanging out with friends. This is kind of time of the year that we wish our family members were nearby instead of across the ocean. My sister just uploaded this wonderful video of her singing on Youtube. She's a professionally trained singer, at one point she had a record deal before college but she decided that getting education was a bit more important so she declined. I've always been proud of my sister but this humble video of her singing on a humble stage at UCSD, her alma mater, made me thankful for such a talented one in my family.

So today is BLACK FRIDAY, y'all!!! Has anyone gone shopping early today morning? I saw my Facebook friend's status around 6 AM that he's just done with shopping and finally going to bed. :D My shopping hasn't really begun, but I found some great deals online so I'm tempted to just stay home and sip hot chocolate since the morning fog is absolutely beautiful outside right now.

 

COLETTE PATTERNS is having a 30% off all patterns just for 24 hours! I've made a lot of stuff from Colette Patterns designs and love all of them for clear instructions and great fit. I already put a couple of patterns in my shopping cart.

 

 

I'm a huge fan of all the mint sites (Shoemint, Intimint, Jewelmint, Stylemint) for their prices and styles. If you sign up today, the new members will get a huge discount! Check them out, especially these stunning studded heels from Shoemint.com

 

For sewing enthusiasts, I love Fabric.com. You can't beat "Free shipping all orders over $35" deal, the usual. And for Black Friday, they're offering tiered discount deals, so the more you buy, the more you save. It ends tonight as well so hurry up!

 

Black Friday really marks the beginning of holiday shopping season so I'm gonna try and get some gifts as well!
