All I want for Christmas is....

I have been busy the last 2 days, both my girls are home, they are keeping me busy, cooking, shopping, we even clean up the garage today, throw away 5 big bags of "stuff", you know, stuff that you hoard for a long time but they really just stayed in the boxes in the garage, it is time to "let go"...

Anyway, today's project is gift wrapping for Christmas..

have you done your Christmas shopping yet?

I really want a workable vintage typewriter for Christmas, any idea where to look?

More cleaning up to do.....

 I store all the photos on my computer until I posted the project, now that my photo folders are so full that it is beginning to slow down my computer, I better do some cleaning up.....

I didn't manage to get Christmas cards out to all of my friends last year, so I made it up by sending them New Year's card, I better post these before they turn one year old, LOL!

just 2 weeks more, we will be welcoming 2015! so goodbye to New Year's card 2014!

Our Beautiful World 35 ~ Soft

This week at

Our Beautiful World

The word is 

SOFT

picked by Bonita

We were in Paris early Spring 2013

walking by The Seine is a MUST every time we go there

It is a little too cold for us this time of the year, but everything is starting to grow and we could smell spring in the air with the soft and budding leaves on the trees

Here in Vegas, it is definitely SPRING TIME, beautiful weather everyday, I know other parts of the world might be still cold, or having lots of rain, I do wish that SPRING will come to you soon.

Hop over to

Our Beautiful World

and see what our DT brought you this week!

Movie Night

One of the worst movie I watch this year, I cannot understand how Jorden Belfort could glorified his despicable behavior with no remorse or any sort of emotion for the people he had hurt. His book... yikes.... his interview with Piece Morgan, and the movie, double yikes!

December Daily 2013 ~ December 17, 18, 19 and 20

Clare is home for winter break, she had lots of fun with Papi too.

December 18

The girls and I went to the thrift store today, this is something we do together and when the girls are back in college, I hardly go to the thrift store.

Today is the first time I feel really really good, I remember when I started my December Daily, I was feeling down most of the days, making December Daily "forced" me to focus on gratitude, take note of   happy things and thoughts, it really helps, see.... by the 18th, I am feeling great already!!! 

Lots of journaling space for today because I have a lot a lot to write....

December 19

Today is photo session with Papi

Papi is so smart, he knows the different names of his toys, we asked him to "Go get Pumpkin" and "Go get Eeyore" and look what we got for the photo session

December 20

Today I received holiday cards and gifts from friends, happy happy mails!

Dolce bought me Christmas present too, it is a sticker maker, this will solved a lot of glitters problem I had, LOL! I tried many different type of glue for glitters, still find that sticker is the best way to use glitters.
