My Dr. Seuss Plant

I never plant anything before I live in Las Vegas, I love flowers, who doesn't? So I started trying seeding 2 years ago in our backyard, but nothing really grow except those planted by our gardener.

I followed the instruction on the seed packet, where I supposed to grow them indoor until they are about 2-3 weeks old, but the wind and heat here just kill them once I moved them outdoor, so I decided that I am going to just let them live in the "wild" since "birth" and not sheltered them too much

Well, after almost 2 years, this is my first flower I grew from a tiny seed, oh well, I used up the whole packet but only one survive, and it looks kind of weird


with "long neck" and very little leaves


so weird that it looks like a plant in the Dr. Seuss story book, don't you think?


and these aren't very healthy looking either, but at least I see some blooms


if you have any tips on gardening, I would like to learn from you : )

Christmas in July

It is 112 degrees today in Las Vegas, I just need to find a place where it is just 84, so I am going to LA  to enjoy the cool temperature, ahhhhh......


OOPS!!!!!!

edit: my husband decided to drive instead, so he called to cancel our flight to LA 90 minutes before take off, we then drove 20 miles and ..............
tire burst on highway 15, 8 miles before we reach the next town Jean, we called for Benz road side assistance, it took them 10 minutes to get back to us and 100 more minutes for the technician to come help us, my husband decided to do it himself under the heat, and 20 minutes later, we are back on the road again, only this time is towards Vegas. Back to Benz service center and they can't do anything for us today, so here I am, back in my room in Las Vegas.


to bring the temperature down, I am sharing a Christmas card in July



and this is going to enter the challenge at

"Christmas in July"

City Crafter Challenge Blog week 117 ~ Recipe Card

This week at 


Linda is our host, she wants us to make a recipe card, what a fun challenge


I used a rolodex index card for this one



after I am done with the cover, I started working with the different categories as well as the recipe cards





next is to find a place to store the recipe cards, I thought of a Rodolex but changed my mind when I found this cute little napkin stand at the thrift store for just 0.25


dress it up a little bit


now I am happy......
