Today, I’d love for you to meet Jacqueline of So Cute It Hurts!  She blogs about beautiful photos she’s taken, inspirations, crafts, and with so much joy and delight!  I always have a smile on my face when reading her posts!  🙂  And have you seen her shop?  First time I saw it, my jaw literally dropped at how beautiful, detailed, and well made everything is.  It’s full of camera/iPhone cozies, key pouches, elephant coasters, tea time treat boxes, and gingham purses… and Jacqueline is constantly crafting up new items like one that we’ll be giving away today!  Let’s get to know her a little bit better, shall we?

{MEET JACQUELINE}

1) Tell us a little bit about yourself.
Hello, my name is Jacqueline. I’ve studied computer engineering and I’ve been working as a programmer for about 7 years now. Although being a programmer is a form of creativity however the feeling of unappreciated, de-motivated and overwhelmed at work it’s taking its toll on me.  After a long day at work, a great stress relieve for me would be drowning myself with making functional mixes whimsy items for home to personal accessories with my hands and spending time at my very little creative space, a space i build up about 2 years ago.

2) Your shop is super cute!  Where do you draw your inspiration from to make such lovely items?
My inspiration comes from well almost everything and everywhere. From the delicacies of life ~ how small moments can make me cry with their extraordinary messages. From bravery ~ both in sadness and in love. From learning to love my life more every day and within that lies so much inspiration. From connection and conversation with creative others. From tapping into our potential and possibilities.

3) I’ve always wanted to visit Malaysia! If I did, where would you take me? 🙂
Honestly, i probably wouldn’t make an amazing tour guild but i do have a list of a few favorite places i would love to take you. From the gorgeous vibrant colors of Chinatown to a few cozy indie handamde artists cafes and zakka shops.

4) What is your favorite ice cream flavor.
I guess i’m really boring. I still love the all-time-favorite-love-by-all-ages chocolate ice-cream flavor.
