City Crafter Challenge Blog Week 319 ~ The Book of Love

How do you measure LOVE? Especially LOVE for your children?

If you ask me, my answer would be.....

A parent's LOVE is Whole,

No matter how many times divded.

I only wish my children understand.

I made a BOOK of LOVE sometime ago for Clare, when she started a new page of her life.

this BOOK of LOVE is in the photo journal form....

 it started with a a few of her baby photos....

 and then Clare as a young lady....

the next few pages is her life in Singapore, New York and Las Vegas, and then the day I sent her to college, and photo of her graduation recital....

I leave some blank journal card for her to write down her thoughts......

and then the important day when she is officially on her own....

I do have a graduation speech by Bill Gates, meant for the graduate to read by somehow, a little doggie seems to be interested too (see his little foot on the top left corner?)
 

and then I filled up lots of pockets with journal card, she can continue with the journaling on her own
 

my daughter probably do not have a lot of art supply at home so this BOOK of LOVE comes with glue stick and other embellishment for her to get creative
 

here's my BOOK of LOVE for my kid...
 

do you have one? come share with us at

October 3

Clare and Jared came home with their friend Catherine, it seems like our "tradition" when the Clare is back home is to go to Korean BBQ, she just loves it. We did try a new place this time.

I have to admit I didn't keep my promise, when I started project life this year, I tell myself not to buy any NEW stuff because I have boxes and boxes of journaling cards, sorry..... I did, this October, new journaling goodies I am using.

after dinner, we went to the strip for a walk.....
to see the wonderful Bellagio musical fountain

I have to say, looking back at this photo of Paris hotel makes me sad....

Still thinking of you Dear Paris! (big sigh.......)

and then we took the kids to Serendipity for their famous frozen hot chocolate

October 4

I make french toast and corn muffins for breakfast.





In the afternoon, we decided to go for a picnic at Bonny Spring Park, the plan was to go get two rotisserie chickens and a few sides, but the plan didn't carry out well, the store was out of chicken and we drive to Pollo Loco to get few boxes of chicken, by then, the sky got really dark and I am afraid we are running out of day light, so instead of going to Bonny Spring, which we are not familiar and further away, we stop at Red Rock Canyon instead.

although it was windy, cold and even drizzle a little, it didn't spoilt the fun

I brought along my corn muffins for dessert

it was cold so everybody is fighting for that fur coat

it turn out to be a perfect picnic after all

Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect

It means you've decided to look beyond the imperfections....

the kids like goofing around and take funny selfies

well, since this post is picture heavy, I better post the rest of October another day!

Thanks for sticking around!

April 13

I spent this week working for a friend at NAB convention, DH was driving me to work and take me home, that saves me a lot of trouble as it was always hard to find parking lot during convention. I do miss DH and Papi while at work since I don't usually leave them for long hours like this.

We had so issue at the Singapore club sometime ago, it bothered me a lot but I chose to take the high ground and just let those people do whatever they want, said whatever they want, they called and talked behind my back, spread words around but I still keep my cool and let them be, but it seems that they gotten worst, it makes me so upset and angry, during these time, I still try my best to keep calm, one way to do it is to spend a lot of time playing with photoshop

I took Papi to the dog park, seeing Papi happy makes me happy too, that is another way to help getting my mind off the unhappy issue at the club
