It’s August already! We’ve had a major heat wave recently, well, basically all summer, haha, so now that it’s August, I wonder if it will get hotter!?

Beach week is coming soon ~ wahoo!

Wooden Truck

This car (truck) is made of wood! The door handle is a glass doorknob ~ how cool! It’s not mine, but one of my extended relatives owns it.

Happy 4th of July!

I’m enjoying the day by staying in and relaxing ~

July 2010

As you may have noticed, I haven’t been blogging much recently, but no worries, I’m still as sparkly as ever!

I’m posting a general Sparkle Scope soon that won’t change every month like it used to.

I can’t believe it’s the 4th of July again! Last year I was in Tokyo for the 4th, so hopefully I can see some fireworks this year (^-^)

Earth Day is coming up April 22nd so the Earth banner is back up ~

Happy late St. Patrick’s Day!

Vancouver 2010

Amy — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 03:13:03 +0000

I love the Olympics, but I really LOVE the Winter Olympics! My favorite sport to watch is ice skating and I’m happily watching the the men’s short program right now. Now of course, I always have to have something sparkly going on, so meet Quatchi ~ he’s one of the official Vancouver 2010 mascots. He’s watching the Olympics with me. (^-^)

I already have some new favorites, the Japanese skater Daisuke Takahashi because his short program was amazing after coming off a big injury. My all time favorite skater is Johnny Weir, because people always try to bottle his personality, but his sparkle is meant to shine. Yes, Johnny Weir is sparkly. I’m also rooting for the other American skaters, Evan Lysacek and Jeremy Abbott.

Olympians are sparkly ~and anyone who gets out there and does there best is sparkly.

Valentine’s Day

I don’t know who made all these cute little guys, but they are super cute. I picked a few for today in honor of Valentine’s Day.

A cute little manju (dumpling)~

A smitten monkey ~ lol

and a…um…bunny? rubber glove??

and this one is so cute ~

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Winter Twilight

Amy — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 23:04:51 +0000

Twilight is my favorite time of day and no, I haven’t seen the Twilight movies or read the books (yet, I may, who knows). We’ve had so much snow this season that it’s super sparkly outside. I took this a few days ago when we got another 12 or so inches. I’m not sure how many inches we’ve had this season, but I know it’s probably over 36″. Luckily, it gets super sunny here during the day (I sure don’t miss those overcast days in Chicago) so the snow often melts quickly before we get more.

February 4th is Be Sprockily Day!

Sometimes I talk too fast and back in 2008 I was telling a friend about Be Sparkly and she thought I said Be Sprockily, thus, Be Sprockily Day was born! So today, instead of trying to feel sparkly, feel sprockily.

Doesn’t the word “sprockily” makes you think of broccoli shaped sporks?

Spread the sprockle!
