November Daily: Week 5 + December Daily: Days Two & Three

I have two photos from the last week of November to share tonight.

Sunday, November 29, 2009:
Had a normal day at work followed by a fun evening shopping at Target & Christmas shopping at Best Buy with Dan. I picked up lots of Special K with berries (my favorite cereal) and then we had pizza at home with the family.
Monday, November 30, 2009:
I spent the last day of November getting my December Daily together. I decided not to put any numbers on it before hand because I ended up moving them a lot last season.
And now that I have completed sharing photos from my entire month of November, I have two more pages to share from my December Daily album.

I spent the evening of December 2nd printing in the darkroom at Skyline college. I had so much fun chatting with my classmates and professor. I ran out of paper at one point and borrowed some from Sandy. She gave me a sheet she had already exposed (by mistake) and I exposed my image onto it. It came out really dark and messed up but gave us both a good laugh. I also enjoyed documenting the darkroom and the new campus.

Supplies: Hambly 3/4' Graph overlay- white, Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses Evergreen pp, Hambly On Edge Border Christmas stickers, Hambly Elegant label rub ons-white, Elle's Studio Snowflake circle embellishment, Studio G winter clear stamp, Making Memories magnetic date stamp, and Staz On Ink-jet black.

I added the journaling text and number two in photoshop and then printed my photos black & white in Lightroom's print program.

I was completely surprised to walk in the kitchen and see endless glass in Christmas colors all over the back window sill and counter. My mom is working on a project and she's very excited about it. It made me so excited for her. And it has changed drastically since I took this photo. I might have to capture it when its closer to completion. I used a typewriter to journal and I just realized this page is missing the #3!Supplies: Making Memories Mistletoe Snowflake pp, Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses Evergreen pp, Hambly Doilies rub ons-red (mine are limited edition transparencies), TwoGirlzStuff Candy apple long scallop sticker, Maya Road December calendar sheer, Catslife Press merry stamp, Scenic Route Days of the Week clear stamp, Studio G Holiday words clear stamp, Martha Stewart Border punch-scallop dot, Tattered Angels Glimmer mist-marshmallow, & Staz on Ink-jet black & timber brown.

And here is a snapshot of my latest page in my December album:

Tomorrow I'll be posting something that arrived on Saturday that I am very excited to announce.

November Daily Photos Week 4

The last week of November went by the quickest. Here is a quick review of last week in photos:

Sunday, November 22, 2009:
I took the day off for BorrowLenses anniversary celebration. We took a 2 hour horn blower cruise in the San Francisco Bay. We had brunch and got to take lots of pictures while going under the Golden Gate Bridge and going around Alcatraz (closest I have ever been). Photo by Eva:
Monday, November 23, 2009:
After work I met up with Kristi, Jarid, Jason, Crystal, and Dan for dinner at BJ's brewery. First photo is by Dan.Tuesday, November 24, 2009:
I made a birthday card for my boss Max during my lunch break. I love getting crafty at work. I get to create and it relieves stress. A big plus: I talked with Allison Kreft Abad (of Hambly) on the phone too.
Wednesday, November 25, 2009:
I settled in for some more paper crafting when I got home on Wednesday. I started working on gift card holders and catching up on Vampire Diaries.
Thursday, November 26, 2009:
I slept in! I had a chance to begin the third book in the Vampire Diaries series and spend time with Jenna. Then I drove down the coast with my parents to Princeton where Mavericks Surf contest takes place. We scoured the waves for sea glass. I found beautiful shells but not much glass. It was a windy and beautiful day. We went to my Aunt's house for Thanksgiving dinner.Friday, November 27, 2009:
I spent most of the day scrapping and blogging. I did take a break in the evening to meet up with Dan's friends that were visiting from southern California. It was my first time to meet Mary & Mike even though they are both from Pacifica. We ate at the Olive garden and then played a very long but fun round of Apples to Apples.
Saturday, November 28, 2009:
It felt like a very weird Sunday. I worked most of the day at the Christmas store. Then I edited photos for a couple of hours. Drove in a car full of family to my Aunt & Uncle's to celebrate my grandmother's birthday. I was really happy to see the other side of my family and it felt like Thanksgiving Part II.
I can't believe its December 1st on Tuesday. I'm trying to finish up my December Daily foundation along with several other holiday projects. Hope you have a great beginning to December!

November Daily Photos Week 3

I'm back to share this past week's photos from the November photo challenge.

Sunday, November 15, 2009
I met Econ Eric, a friend of Jenna's, and spent time dancing with the family in the living room. I love impromptu dance parties. I edited some photos and uploaded them to facebook. The tagging box cracks me up.
Monday, November 16, 2009
I was making some birthday cards for my co workers and left this mess on my bed. Its a pretty common sight around here these days. Tuesday, November 17, 2009
I photographed the Millbrae Bart station after work. I desperately needed to print something for my photo class since we only have 2 more classes before finals. I had a blast shooting Black & White film at night. Wednesday, November 18, 2009
Josh from the advertising department offered to do a Starbuck's run. A bunch of us placed our orders on Vin's desk with post its. Thom was writing all kinds of silly requests, so I captured Vin playing with some of the post its.Thursday, November 19, 2009
Kristi picked up pizza and came over to scrap after work. We started working on the foundation of our December Daily albums. Can't wait to work on this more this coming week!
Friday, November 20, 2009
Celebrated Kent's birthday by picking up delicious cupcakes form Mazetti's Bakery here in Pacifica. he had fun playing with his food before eating it.I did go see New Moon on Friday as well. I arranged for Kristi to buy the tickets nearly a month in advance. Kelly, Jenna, Laura, mom, Kristi & I had so much fun. I wasn't a fan of the young screaming girls. Next time I'll go during school hours... I loved that special FX were so much better. It was apparent that the budget was a lot better this time around. You won't be disappointed if you see it.

Saturday, November 21, 2009
I wasn't feeling 100% so Dan & I decided to stay home and make delicious burritos instead of going out to ice skate with some friends. I'm still going to try going ice skating, just a little later on this season. Dan makes the best chicken burritos and I have become expert can opener and bean stirrer. I think I might move up to cutting the meat next. Ick!
This coming week is going to be busy, then I'll get a few days off for the holiday. Hope you and yours have a happy one!

November Daily Photos: Week 2

Congrats to Stace & Rebecca, winners of the blog hop! Chipboard is 15% off until November 21st at the store.

This past week has blown by so fast. I am hoping November will slow down just a bit. Here are my photos from the second week of November:

Sunday, November 8, 2009
I wrote & sent out some thank you notes. I've decided that I want my own personal return address stamp. Now I just have to find a design I like. Any suggestions from etsy?
Monday, November 9, 2009
I got a little nerdy for Kellan Lutz & Ashley Greene of New Moon on Monday evening. They are the actors/tress that play Emmett & Alice. They had a question & answer session at Stonestown. They were expecting tons of people, like last year, but Robert Pattinson didn't come so it was a much smaller crowd. I met a really sweet woman, Yolanda and then my mom joined me later.
Tuesday, November 10, 2009
I found myself amongst another huge group at The Warfield. Dan took me to see Paramore for my birthday. It was originally going to be a on a Friday night in October, but Hayley, lead singer, came down with laryngitis. Look for a separate post later this week about this.
Wednesday, November 11, 2009
I was very tired after two nights out in a row. I love that I walk into the kitchen every morning to such beautiful, bright colors. I need to move these into my room and finally decorate with them. Thursday, November 12, 2009
I love that my mom brings home the unusual pumpkins. We didn't carve any this year because they were too cool already.
Dan & I celebrated our 5 year anniversary in San Francisco at Park Chow. It is not a Chinese restaurant. I had spaghetti and Dan had pizza. Its not exactly any type of food really. They have delicious pies though! Friday, November 13, 2009
It was a very long day for me. This is a box that was by the door when I was leaving in the morning. Think of this photo as a place holder for better photos to come. I shot a wedding in Napa (as second shooter). I expect to get my photos tomorrow. Will share more of that later.Saturday, November 14, 2009
Zombie mode. I stayed up until 4am scrapbooking, slept for 5 hours, then worked. When I got off, I drove to Dan's house and found him putting on vinyl protection on his new Acura TL. He got it three weeks ago but I haven't had a spare moment to photograph it. I hope to take it out to the beach soon and get some really nice shots for him.
I tried to take a nap after work but was so tired I couldn't sleep. Don't you hate when that happens? Later, we picked up something cute at REI and had dinner in San Carlos with Zena & Helen. I'm having fun taking photos every day. Won't you join me? Let me know if you are playing along.

November Daily Photos Week 1

Everything Scrapp'n is having a photo challenge for the month of November. Take photos each day and then scrap them! I'm trying to keep up with the photos, but if you want to play along, we'd love that! There are two prizes, so go check them out. Here are mine from the first week in November:

Sunday, November 1, 2009
I've been reading The Vampire Diaries, suggested by Jessica Summers. The story is very similar to Twilight (so far) and it was published in 1991. It will be interesting to see what happens later on in the book.Monday, November 2, 2009
I work with a bunch of really fun people and we like to goof around. I caught a glimpse of Mat's cup and had to snap a photo.
Tuesday, November 3, 2009
My friend/co worker took our other co-workers phone and stuck it with her display of beach findings.
Wednesday, November 4, 2009
I have been taking the majority of my photos at work since I'm there during the natural day light hours. Working on building a fort. ;D
Thursday, November 5, 2009
My family celebrated my cousin Kelley's birthday at my Aunt's house. Don't you just love the table center piece?
Friday, November 6, 2009
Kristi & I met at the Scrapbook Depot for a Friday night crop. It had been too long since we'd gone (before my trip to Europe last year). I met some really talented people and learned so much more about stamping and painting.
Saturday, November 7, 2009
I found out Friday afternoon that I didn't have to work on Saturday. Dan & I drove (in his newly purchased car) down the coast. We stopped in Pescadero for our favorite bread, and then had a picnic at the beach. It was too windy so we stayed inside the car. Then we drove to Santa Cruz for the Sea Glass Festival. I've never seen so many enthusiasts in one place. I didn't expect this line (photo as we were leaving).
This challenge is a great way to get back to blogging about whats going on in my every day life. My challenge to myself this week is to find more photos outside of work. Have a great week!
