City Crafter Challenge Blog Week 447 ~ Floral Laura

This week is our final week at City Crafter Challenge Blog, I am feeling a little sad as well as relief.... I am sad because it has been nearly 9 years, CCCB was my baby, I started it when I first moved to Las Vegas, through the blog, I met many friends, some has became really close, but life is tough, I have been going through a lot lately, especially the past few months, I think it is time for me to learn how to let go, I don't have much time to craft but I will try my best to make something once in a while,  I hope..... I have been selling some of my crafting stuff lately simply because I see no reason to hoard time since I don't use them anymore, so..... for my final card for City Crafter Challenge Blog....

the floral background stamps as well as the map stamp, sentiment stamp are all products of Papertrey Ink....

I hope you hop over to City Crafter Challenge Blog and join in the fun!

Morning Walks and City Crafter Challenge Blog Week 429 ~ Fall Colors

It has been slightly over a week since we moved to the new house, I felt like I haven't get anything done, let alone setting up my craft room.

I haven't been able to sleep well at night and wake up every hour because I have some much on my mind.... need to get the pantry, kitchen going, get the curtains up for privacy etc.... whew.....

Since I got up early every morning at 6, I take Papi for our morning walk....

that's the nice thing about Vegas, we are surrounded by mountains, when I walk out of our gated community, I see mountains from far.....

and when I turn right, I see our Lone Mountain, the one used to be at our backyard....

and on our way home before turning right into our community, I am facing the mountains again.....

Papi already knows his way home, he knows when to make the right turn.......

There is so much rules with the HOA, not only we have to pay nearly $200 to the HOA, we had to get approval for any little thing we want to do in our own backyard, like putting in a plant..... we are so angry about that, I put in a little garden/pee pad for Papi on the very next day we moved in because I didn't want him to just pee anywhere in the backyard, so I am retraining him to just do his business at pee pad garden, and then we found out that we probably would get a fine for that because we didn't submit our application for approval before making that garden pee pad! That makes me so angry!

the garden is not complete yet, we still need the edges done but it is on hold because of the HOA, right now, I have the pea gravel on top of some other soil and rocks and mesh, at least Papi has a spot to go to do his business, I think the mushroom is not very happy getting watered everyday though, LOL!

Ok, better keep this short since I still need to get back to unpacking, LOL!

Here's the project for City Crafter Challenge Blog, the theme is Fall Colors, check out challenge details HERE!

I hope you stop by City Crafter Challenge Blog and join us this week!

Fall Thank You Card

Fall is my favorite season of the year, I am sure I have told you that my Chinese name means Autumn.

The girls and the dogs will all be home on Thanksgiving, although it is still weeks away, but I am all excited already.

Today's card is a Fall Thank You Card using the pretty bloom called "Together we bloom" from Studio Katia.

I don't think I used the color orange this much....

unless I want to make something to go with the mood of the seasons....

and then I love the bloom so much I can't help but make another one.....

then another one......

all in beautiful fall colors.....

I love the bloom so much I can't stop just at fall....

please allow me to show the spring collection too! : )

I am linking my Fall Thank You Card at World CardMaking Day Studio Katia
