I'm a Malaysian, living here all my life & loving the multi-racial neighbourhood. I have been beading for years, selling my pieces to locals for 2 years now, the encouraging response I got from my local buyers prompted me to try the international market by starting an etsy store in April 2010. It's so exhilarating to know that my handmade stuff are being worn on the other side of the world, places I have never been to!

Mei is offering the Glam bracelet below as her giveaway item. Valued at $30.00.
