Three Years later....

A Happy Third Anniversary mini-card for my DH.

Time has passed so quickly. Seemed just like yesterday we were saying our "I do's."

And now, an almost 2-year-old, a new home, and a pea in the pod later, I love him more than ever. :)



Card Supplies are mostly from Love, Elsie (KI Memories).

Celebration Part Uno.

Who knew that this tiny thing....

could produce such instant little beauties that I would treasure forever?....



And isn't this PP from Jillibean the perfect pairing for these pics? I feel the scrapbook bug inspiring me!!

These pics were taken by my sis' new toy, a toy that is going on my growing wish list! I am usually the paparazzi of the group ... the camera is always by my side and I take TONS of pics. Most of the time, it's way past the comfort zone of my peeps. But you know what? Who do they come to when they want proof of this outfit or documentation of their special day?? Moi, of course!!

So last night, I celebrated my early thirty-somethin' birthday with most of my close girlfriends at Cascal, this lovely Spanish restaurant I had gone to just a couple of weeks before. The ambience was super fun, although the food wasn't as good as my first time there (but was still yummy).

I am blessed with a lot of supportive ladies, and this little girls' night out is much needed time for this busy working mommy. It keeps me well balanced and preserves my sanity, and sometimes, there is nothing like laughing out loud with your friends about stupid lady issues!!!! Topics covered included the joys/ mishaps of breastfeeding, weird pregnancy symptoms, girl crushes, and a ridiculous new dress code for work (to name a few).

I am a HUGE proponent of celebrating birthdays, no matter how old it makes you feel. I've decided it was just too much to throw a little themed shindig at the home right now. But it was so much fun and intimate to share some tapas (small plates of Spanish food goodness) and gelato. I am pretty much celebrating this whole week :), so hopefully, there'll be more stories and pics to come.

Thanks for visiting! Have an amazing Sunday, folks!!




P.S. These are probably the only preggo pics you'll see. I am big, and love my baby bump but not the thighs and the large a$$ that go with it! But it's very good that I haven't really gained weight....although, that is kind of bad as well!! haha! yikes!

Gone are the days of being a Spelling Bee contender!

Hello folks!

I am at work today, but have scheduled a post on a recent card I made.

It features Cheeky Cherry Pie. Now can you all see the mistake I made with a certain spelling of a word?

Now, the perfectionist that I am, I would usually extract that photo, fix my mistake, and re-take a new one. All before finalizing this blog post. But I am just happy I get to post a new card so please forgive me for being lazy :).

The patterned papers are from 7 gypsies (polka dots), Basic Grey (plaid), and Love Elsie/ KI Memories (gifts).

Hope you have an amazing day! TGIF!!!

Go SF Giants!

With tax season, work evaluations, extra classes coinciding in the same two weeks, I haven't been able to sit down and craft much. So thought I'd share some pics from the Giants game my friends and I went to two nights ago. Sorry LA Dodgers, we won that game! Woot Woot!!!

I've been meaning to take the li'l tater tot to his first baseball game. But I have to wait till we go to a day game...the night ones are just too cold and crowded. But here he is enjoying my Pablo "Panda" Sandoval hat! And of course, I also wanted to get something for baby2 :).

Have a wonderful day!




PS. Above are pics of a couple of my two favorite players - Tim Lincecum and Brian Wilson!

Sheena's card

Happy belated birthday to my good bloggie friend, Sheena!

For my creation for her, I wanted to use more muted colors as I noticed that Sheena rarely uses bright ones (which is more my style). Just goes to show you that when you try/ think outside of the box, it pays off. Because I really like how Birthday Gretel came out.

And I love how she has short hair like Sheena's :). Sheena has been a great friend ever since we formed our Team International Ink at the TGF Royal Battle contest. She is always so sweet - commenting on my blog and sending me cards for my birthday and when we bought our house.

Thanks, hon! Sorry your card was late! Hope you have gotten it by now!
