Hoppy For You!

I am happy to say that the latest round of migraines has started to show signs of letting up. Bowling was difficult. We had the San Francisco tournament this past weekend. I bowled a 227, 212, and 200 for my high games. Surprisingly, only the 200 game managed to hold for second place during that squad. I got beat out of the other games. I loved bowling at Serra Bowl, but the constant pounding in my head and having to constantly reach for my inhaler was a stinker. Need to make a run to the doctor's office tomorrow to find out if I am having asthma attacks or if it's something worse.

Anyways, I managed to crank out a card for a card challenge I posted on 2SCD.

Hoppy For You:

Colors used: Brocade Blue, Old Olive, and More Mustard.

Background stamps: Paisley and Linen

Stamp sets: Very Punny (SAB) and Hearfelt Thanks

Orders have started to come in for SAB. The Stamp Camp is set for Saturday, Feb. 3rd.

It's gonna be fun!

Wild About You!

I'm back! I had the best time participating in the online crop at 2ScrappyChixDesigns. I survived my first online crop! And I managed to finish every project and challenge that was posted. What an incredible experience!

I am excited to mention that I will continue on as a member of the Creative Team at The Stamp Shack. It is also an incredible honor to be a moderator for the Card Challenges forum at 2ScrappyChixDesigns.

The Stampin' UP! Spring Mini is coming out soon! And don't forget Sell-A-Bration is on right now!

Have a wonderful evening, my friends!

Tickled Pink!

This is such an adorable set from the SU! Sell-A-Bration Mini. I made these cards for my demonstrator swap.

Today, my almost 4 yr old had a trial consult at a local Tae Kwon Do Dojang and he has decided that he loves it. Here are some pictures of him trying to remember what a Master had showed him.



Needless to say, I am quite proud of him! He's a natural at this!

Happy New Year!

Shinen akemashite, omedeto!

We spent Monday morning with my family in San Francisco, celebrating Japanese New Year.
Then we drove back down to Saratoga and spent the rest of the evening with my in-laws.



To put the world right in order, we must first put the nation in order; to put the nation in order, we must first put the family in order; to put the family in order, we must first cultivate our personal life; we must first set our hearts right. - Confucius.

Here are some of my intentions for the new year:
Let go of "stuff" both physically and emotionally.
Enjoy the process of being creative.
Get organized.
Live life to its fullest.
Laugh.
Love like there's no tomorrow.
Don't forget "ME"!

What about you? Any intentions for 2007?
