Snowing in Vegas

Can you believe we have snow in Vegas.....

and it has been snowing a few days in February.....

People are so happy they went to the park to make snowman, LOL!

and school was canceled today due to snow? No, it is cold but sunny today, they were afraid of the icy road I guess.

I have a bookmark to share today....

products are some of the older stamp set and die from Papertreyink.

Thanks for stopping by....

Pray for Las Vegas and NBUS ##12

Thanks to those who has been asking, yes, here in Las Vegas, we are in a sad mood now.

Pray for Las Vegas

A city that I called home for the past 7 years.

DH and I go to the strip often, to eat, to play poker, and show friends around when they come visit, we were lucky that we were not at that particular casino that night, we supposed to meet up with friends to have dinner at the SLS casino, arrived there and found out that the went to a wrong location, so we drove to China Town to meet them instead, and then sent them back to their hotel at The Palms, these friends are from San Francisco, they come to Vegas often, and they stayed at those hotel on the strip every single time except this time, they decided to try out the service apartment at The Palms, whew...... however, everyone here is with a heavy heart though, school were let out early, and people were donating blood and bring supplies like water, sneak and blanket to the convention center for the families who flew here to find their loved ones. Once again,.......

pray for Las Vegas!

When I see the NBUS challenge #12 at Darnell's blog, I just had to play along, look at my piles of NBUS....

and this is only a small portion, the new NBUS, LOL! I don't have the guts to dig into my craft storage yet! : 0

Christmas is on the way, I feel like I need to start working on those holiday cards....

the patterned paper is a book of 12x12 Christmas collection I bought long time ago when Michaels had them for $5

the Christmas tree die and stamp, sentiment die, they are all my NBUS from Lil'inker designs

I believe it was their Christmas release two years ago.

now all I need to do is to make 10 or 20 of them.....

I believe you have lots of NBUS too, why don't you come join in the fun at....

PTI Create Along With Us (July)

I hardly have a second post in the same week these days, but I have to make a last minute birthday card so why not look for some inspiration from....

PTI Create Along With Us (July 2017)

The card that inspired me is this one from Betsy Veldman, see original post HERE!

and here's my card.....

I like the peek-a-boo idea and also the cake stand...

all the the products I used on this card are from Papertrey Ink.

...................................

The guest bathroom remodel project took about 3 weeks, it was done and I finally got some photos to show....

we started this project because the bath tub has some crack lines, but one thing leads to another, we ended up adding a new sink and counter top, put in new tiles, paint the cabinet....

putting in new toilet and add beads board to the wall as well... 

new lights, new mirror, took away the medicine box and add new shelf.. haha... pretty much change the whole bathroom.

 

it cost us much much more than we wanted to spend but everyone loves the new bathroom, so I guess it is worth it when everyone is happy right?

Alright, here's another thing that makes me happy!

Have a great weekend!

Happy 4th of July and City Crafter Challenge Blog Week 369 ~ Black and White

Here at home, Clare and Jared came home from Valencia over the weekend, we had fun together, just four of us, and they left early this morning, back to LA, and in just three weeks, they will be moving to San Francisco while Clare starts her master program studying under her dream teacher, Van Cliburn International Piano Competition winner Jon Nakamatsu, she is very excited, and I am very excited that I will get to go to San Francisco more often now! : )

We went to try the Fish and Chips at Gordon Ramsay, that make me miss the "real thing" even more!

the real thing meaning those near Bond Street Station in London last summer, and it makes me feel a little sad because it was last summer, I met up with Ros in person. That was one happy day in my life!

At City Crafter Challenge Blog this week, it is the final week for Ros, she decided to step down from the team, I wouldn't blame her, it has been 7 years, but I know we will all miss her........

This is my card for the theme this week "Black and White", please check out challenge details here!

I am loving this..... how about you?

Please stop by the blog and leave Ros some love!
