I truly love the ocean.......

I truly love the ocean....

the Pacific Ocean.....

maybe I am a mermaid at heart?

honestly, I could stay here for days and days......

it was so peaceful and beautiful .......

and so relaxing.......

I lived by the Atlantic Ocean before, I feel like the west coast waves have a different rhythm than the east coast waves.....

and they are definitely different in colors....

I truly love the ocean!

Note from HOME:

Clare left 2 days ago, we sent my sister and Jesse to the airport last night, but the flight was canceled, the airline put her at a hotel for a night because by the time the airline finalized the situation, it was already 5 am, they were rebooked on another flight back to Singapore on Thursday, so I am going to pick them up from the hotel and come to my place for another 2 nights....  

No time for the craft room yet, so this is one from my photo folder.....

Merry Christmas!

As you know, this little space of mine is sort of taking a break, no activity in my craft room when the house is filled with people, we have reached our peak, ten people and two dogs in this household right now, after cleaning up the breakfast table, I am on to preparing lunch and so on.... 
on top of that, lots of baking, lots of shopping and sightseeing, so.......

I am just sneaking in here to wish all my blog friends....



PEACE be with you.....

and JOY,

Photos from San Francisco and Our Beautiful World (Connect)

My sister, mom, Lione and Jesse arrived in Vegas last Saturday, I have a house full of people and we have been in and out of town, here are some photos we took recently....

December 8. We arrived in San Francisco late afternoon and snapped a few photos on my walk around the neighborhood, Union Square.

don't get me wrong, mom wasn't unhappy, that was just her PHOTO FACE! LOL!

well, I have a lot more to share but for now, I am just sharing a photo I took at Muir Woods National Monument for the word CONNECT, which is our prompt for this week at

Our Beautiful World

We just got home late last night from San Francisco but we are leaving again early tomorrow morning for Yosemite National Park, so I guess I won't be here much unless the internet speed is friendly to me at Mariposa, CA.

Please check out what the fabulous OBW team have for you this week at
