More fun things in San Francisco and CCCB 292

More fun things in San Francisco

Cable Car - A Must, especially this is my sister's first trip (December 8, 2015)

and it was fun for me as well, regardless how many times I have been to San Francisco.

I love the redwood, I love being in Muir Woods National Monument, it makes me feel happy and calm, even we have to wear the ugly $3 poncho. (December 9, 2015)

my sister took vanity to the highest level as she refused to put on one because it would look ugly, she claimed.

Sausalito is beautiful as always, even when the sky is grey.

we ended day two in San Francisco with Ghirardelli Square, here's that girl posting in front of the vintage car right outside Loris diner.

I am actually at Yosemite National Park today, it is beautiful in the winter, I hope I can share some photos soon but for now, a project for City Crafter Challenge Blog

Theme this week...

The Heat is On!

(check out challenge details HERE)

forgot to take close up picture for the stamped and heat embossed text before I leave home.

this card set is for my friend Naomi, she is from Kyoto, Japan, the words on the tiny tag 手作りmeans handmade in Japanese. Naomi come to Vegas 2-3 times a year, she likes to play poker too.

Ok, I am going to take a rest and then out for dinner, thanks for stopping by. Check out City Crafter Challenge Blog for more fun!

I am leaving early in the morning for a short road trip, driving my girl to LAX, she is flying to Singapore for her internship, work in the global banking department for 6 weeks, I hate to see her go because I enjoy having her home with me for the summer. Dolce and I do a lot of cooking and baking together, and we like to go thrifting as well, now I am so sad that she will be gone all of this summer : (

but it is a good opportunity especially she is majoring accounting in NYC, this global experience is going to add some much to her resume, she just turned 19, she has bright future ahead of her with this experience on top of her 4.0 average every semester, so.... sometimes mom just has to learn to let go.....

I am going to miss Papi too...

he is staying home this time, hubby is going to work near the airport for 2 days, that is not a pet-friendly hotel, so Papi stay home and we have our neighbor coming over twice a day just to feed and play with him....
