Lots o fun

Been going to a lot of parties these past few days. My dad and Jenna have their birthdays spread exactly one week apart. Friday night started out with me taking BART and meeting Dan out near his work, then driving to Fremont to hand out with our lovely friend Kristi & pals. We scrapbooked a little and goofed off a lot. Dan took this fun polaroid and we just love it (courtesy of Kristi).
My Dad's family birthday celebration was on Saturday night. Dan & I got placed at the kids table. Its been a while since that has happened. We had way too much fun and laughed ourselves silly. I don't think Dan will be eating green beans for a long while. ;)

I always love seeing my cousins because they love to give input on my scrapbooking and of course, its nice to catch up with the fam. I love this picture from dessert time. I Wish I could remember what they were laughing about.
Sunday night I met a bunch of the PVS family (mostly mine anyways) for a 10 year anniversary party for a few of the employees at PVS. They had a beautiful get together in the swanky pool house. I especially loved that Rocket the girl turtle made an appearance. Of course, the food was delicious.
I spent much of Monday procrastinating on this little piece of paper. I guess the proper word would be experimenting. I've been nervous to break out that glimmer mist and finally make a mess testing it. I found that silver under purple is my favorite look. This is a lil sneak for the upcoming Mojo challenge.
What a day Tuesday was! I was definitely kept busy the whole day. Our cousin Jeff met us and took us out to lunch at BJ's. Jenna & I ordered a berry cider and then Jeff got carded for taking a sip! The dude that ran over acted like a power hungry police officer about to make a big arrest. Silly him-Jeff's 25! We laughed pretty hard at that one.

Jeff had to go to work, so Jenna & I continued on to shop at the mall for a few hours. Due to complete exhaustion, we skipped the bike ride in the rain. It was pretty good that we did since it hailed twice yesterday afternoon. We relaxed some before dinner. I made Jenna a card while completing the audio book of Twilight (our book was out on loan). I was so glad to compare Bella's version of Twilight to Edward's version of Midnight Sun. Good thing he's good looking. :D

Our evening was laid back with chatter and a little bit of Wii bowling before we remembered that American Idol was on. Had some goofy pictures and dessert before passing out from complete exhaustion. Jenna had a great birthday!
Some how my to do list has grown in monster size proportions so I am off to slash it back down. Happy hump day!

This is Friends week

I am addicted to Flickr. I love to leave positive comments for people and I get so inspired by seeing through many different perspectives. It makes me want to travel so much more!

Thursday night Dan and I went to Lisa's new house for home made pizza. It was absolutely delicious!


Lisa was a wonderful hostess. I loved how they decorated the house. The living room was my favorite because of all the colors. All of Lisa's room mates are a blast!


Yesterday I planned to finish my wire wrapped necklace with Kelly. Jenna thought she was coming over to scrapbook so she got all of her stuff out (second time to scrap).


Jenny called me and said she was Pacifica, so she joined in the creativity. I was so happy that I'm seeing nearly all of my local girlfriends in the same week. Incredible!

I love taking photos as everyone already knows. Jenny likes to draw so I gave her my art journal. Nothing wrong with having a guest artist in it, right? :)

Kelly finished her necklace and we are so proud of how beautiful it turned out. I think she's a great model!

I finished mine as well. I took the picture here at work and the lighting is not great, but I was too excited about it and wanted to share. I feel like I've grown in jewelry making now that I have learned how to wire wrap. I also expanded my color choices and feel great about them. The focal bead is a piece I made with a blowtorch (lampwork) last year. I was so happy when the class instructor on Monday complemented it!
