The food at the French/Asian fusion Nouvelle Bistro was delicious!!

And the room/decor matched our wedding colors!!! I can't wait to scrap these! Maybe after the wedding !!! :D

47 more days!!!

Had this session with my awesome and artistic friend, Pom...we called it our "practice engagement pictures." It's his wedding gift to us, and these pics will be photoshopped with table numbers. We'll use them for the reception!! The location was Coyote Hills and the Wildlife Reserve, the place where Gil and I became more than just friends, biking through the trails and piers. It's such a contrast to our other photo session, which will be in San Francisco!

And here's some scrapping stuff I worked on...I wish I could scrap more, but THE BIG DAY is keeping me pretty busy! TFL!!

Happy Cupid's Day!

Sometimes, when Gilderoy would tell me he loves me, I'd ask, "How much?" He'd answer, "A lot." Now, my fiance isn't the most poetic with words, and I'd ask him to clarify. He'd say the same thing.."A lot." I'd get mad with him.

So for Valentine's, I walk down the stairs and found these in the dining room table:



With this card:


Isn't that so sweet? I cried when I read it!!

Here's what I made him: Some Scenic Route goodness!!

And my sis got us a bottle of my fave wine!


Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!! Oh, and did I mention that I LOVE THIS MAN?!!!(He's gonna kill me if he sees this picture!) *LOL*

Wednesday Happs...

My sis was joking when we were shopping today. She said she spends more when she's with me. She's like, "That's what I get for shopping with someone who has expensive tastes." I tell her it's because I'm a Taurus. That's why I like the finer things in life.

Enter Nordstrom's Rack..the perfect solution for my need for a Valentine's outfit and the WB (wedding budget). I like shopping there because it's cleaner than Ross although you don't get the same deals. I got the perfect Cynthia Steffe top and cute, dangling earrings for more than half off the regular price! I hope the Gilster likes it!

And as far as my expensive desires, I see it this way. When we were growing up, we never were the "cool" teens wearing the then-designer clothes. We never went on any fancy trips. So now that I'm an adult and work hard for my money, you bet I'll be spoiling myself now and then! Shoot! I deserve it!!

And I never went into the store straight for the "expensive" rack. It just happened that I wanted a nice outfit with a good quality fabric & a romantic neckline. And that came in the blush-colored silk blouse with the rouching I find so flattering and scrapbooking-like!! :)

Anyway, speaking of scrapbooking, here's a l.o. I did for project # 3 from the Garage Girls.

The assignment was to use the Hambly sticker that was provided. I did this l.o. on my friend's daughter, Isabella. She did so well at her Christmas concert doing the Hula to Mele Kalikimaka..she is truly a STAR!!

A few random l.o.'s here: ..of my wish for a house, my giraffe nephew, and one of our Xmas traditions. There's also a card for a co-worker.






And I added more stuff to these:




And here are some pics from Jonah's party: He got into so much fun with the cake!!
