Visitors

Anders came to visit from Minnesota for a few days last week. We kept him pretty busy at Dan's house. We ate yummy food, I scrapped, and they played the violin together. We watched this great movie, Deja Vu with Denzel Washington. I was a little apprehensive to watch it at first but it turned out quite well. Anders left early Saturday morning, but the late nights don't end there!
My sneak peek for the next Scrap Mojo challenge:
My newly finished ATC's for the We Scrap Better swap. I'm really happy with how they turned out!
Dan's friend Toby is visiting for a few days now. Yesterday we went to Malibu Grand Prix and played miniature golf. Toby silk screen printed his really cool shirt (purple giraffe). I really want to learn how to do it now.

We had plans to play in the arcades as well but so did everyone else. There wasn't much room for anyone so we decided to take the fun back to Pacifica. We played Rock Band and I got called Yoko since I can't play medium that well yet. Toby & Dan striking a pose x2:

Jenna joined us for some fun guitar hero. She hadn't played in a while and easy was too easy. She switched to medium and then it was a little too fast for her. My favorite thing she said last night was "this song is hard, its extra medium."

Playing co-op literally:
Oh, and I finished watching Sex & the City! I really can't wait for the movie to come out on DVD so I can see that too. Loved the series!

Hambly!

Friday I drove Toby and Dan down the coast to Pescadero for some amazing garlic bread from Archangli Bakery. I finally played a little Wii and thought it was fun. I even made a Mii to look like me. Jessica brought over Grandma's Boy to watch and we ate grilled cheese sandwiches. Mmm yum!

Today I picked Kristi up and we drove to Santa Clara for the Scrapbook Expo. It was so much fun. Hambly Studios was there which made it 10 times better than the expo this past March. We loved it so much, we went there first thing and then again at the very end. They were selling some limited edition overlays and paper. We did a make and take that was designed by the super cute Allison Kreft, product designer of Hambly products. I had a great time!

Kristi and I so happy to spend time at a Scrapbook Expo!

My expensive "Hambly Habit".

And some other stuff I purchased:


I went out to dinner with Dan to Mel's tonight. I brought my gorillapod and Dan drove me around for some night shots afterwards. I'm really interested in mixed ambient lighting at night. Saint Ignacious:


The new DeYoung Museum:

Coit Tower

I got some of my scanned photos off of the lab computer. This is another portrait done by Doug Yost.


I finished reading the last Harry Potter and I really enjoyed it. So much that I stayed up until 2:30am!

Dan, Toby, Lisa, and I went to North Beach last night and had dinner at Michelangelo Cafe. It took a little searching to find a place that wasn't crowded. We were originally planning to take a lot of night photos around the area but the parking lot was expensive.

Coit tower was lit with red lights so we decided to drive up Telegraph Hill and spend a little time photographing the night scape of San Francisco.



I would have taken more photos since I have such a passion for night photography but I was the driver for last nights outing. Next time I'll remember to have some one else drive so I can do the out the window shots!

I have a few other scanned photos that I'll add to my flickr account, so check that out too.
