Our Beautiful World 112 ~ Beads

This week at

Our Beautiful World

The word picked by Mandaysea is

BEADS

I don't know how this week had gone by, guess it is all those teacher's meeting and scheduling, plus I am back teaching on Saturdays again, sigh...... my friend Nancy keep calling me for help, the Saturday chinese school she is teaching desperately needs teacher this year, and just because Nancy is my substitute teacher while I am away, I felt that I need to do something for her, so..... here we go again, back to waking up early on Saturdays...... besides that, the school also wanted me to do a paper crafting class, so you can imagine how much time I put into preparation and meetings this week.

I have no time to take and upload photos, so I dig one out from my folders, here you go...

here's another one, beads on my sweater

ahhhh...... is winter here yet?

We do want you here in Las Vegas, it is 114F today, HOT!

A 12x12 layout. Really?

Can't remember when was the last time I make a 12x12 layout.

When I saw my blog friend Sharon showcased her layout for Challenge Yourself, I wrote in her comment section that I need to find time to make one, but days turn into weeks and week after week, no action from me : (

Well, it is better late than never, I finally did, but then I forget about it until I saw Sharon's comment at my blog yesterday, I suddenly remember that I need to post that layout and it is pretty close to the deadline, so here it is......

The layout out for the challenge at

Scrap Challenge Yourself #21

KEEP

CALM

AND

LOVE YA!

die cut frames

and other details

I had fun and should do more of these layouts, the problem I guess is storage, besides storing them in the big plastic boxes and stack them up in the garage, any suggestion on how you store you 12x12 layout with bulky embellishment?

I picked up the colors with my cross-stitching floss

Our Beautiful World 111 ~ Stairs

This week at

Our Beautiful World

The word picked by Manuela is...

STAIRS

Right away I thought of the spiral staircase at Loretto Chapel, Sante Fe, unfortunately, I lost all of my photo folders few years ago when my old laptop crushed on me, I managed to find this from one of the blog post I shared with my family when I traveled ....

 I do have a recent and funny one to share for the word STAIRS

one I saw at the poker table, chips that stacked like spiral stairs, still amazed by how this guy did it, of course, I had to ask for a photo.
