Our weekends are line up with lots of fun and food, we have a small gathering at a friend's house to celebrate last day of Chinese New Year, and we are meeting Linda and her husband Bruce for dinner tomorrow evening, and then Monday my girlfriend Jean and her Italian husband is coming over to our house for a farewell dinner, they are in Las Vegas for the past 5 weeks and going back to Milan next week. I am sure to put on a few pounds after all the fun.

CAS flower card

I am so much of a layering girl, my card is always filled with bulky flowers and ribbons, but once in a while, I like to try my hand on something clean and simple, like this invitation card


It really helps to have a CAS invitation card when you have to send out a few.

I am linking this card to the challenge over at




Movie night
If you are looking for some fun, this is a funny one!!!!

*Note* - I just changed my setting to prevent anonymous to leave comment on my blog as I am getting quite a bit of those lately, to my opinion, people who used "anonymous" are cowards, they don't even dare to leave their names. 

To my dear blog friends, let me know if this change caused you any problem, because I would love to hear from you!
