I won a blog give away from Etincelle Creative Studio recently! I wanted the adorable stationery from Japan that a stylish French blogger, Marie, picked out, so I entered the blog giveaway. Honestly I did not think that I would win. I hardly ever win although as I get older, I seem to have a bit of a better luck. Marie’s daughter had a bowl full of names and drew one which had my name! Yay! You can see the photos here.
I have a privilege of being able to call Marie Maglaque, the creator of Etincelle Creative Studio my friend. I met her through the first online blogging course I took, Blogging Your Way, two years ago. Marie, the author of the blog, Etincelle Creative Studio, used to live in Singapore. She was an expat living in the same region in the South East Asia, so I was drawn to her blog during the blogging course. We started visiting each other’s blogs and got to know each other.
Then when I went to live in Singapore to give birth to my third child, I contacted her. She took me in and helped me a lot. She and her family moved to Tokyo in the summer 2012, so I was very lucky that I was able to meet her in person before her family’s big international move from Singapore to Tokyo.
Marie is a fashion and jewelry designer. Her blog is about her beautiful craft creations and also other craft and party design projects she takes on the side. She had a pirate theme birthday party for her two children in Singapore in 2012 and I happened to be in Singapore when she had a party, so my middle daughter was invited to be at the party.

I’m loving all the stationary items that Marie picked for the giveaway. Thanks, Marie!!
