Happy Birthday Marina!

Today we are celebrating Marina's birthday at City Crafter Challenge Blog.

Here's the birthday card I made for her.



please stop by Marina's blog to send her birthday wishes!

Springtime in Paris




It is certainly magical to be in Paris in the Spring, the weather is still a little chilly most of the day, but we enjoyed every single moment when we were there.
This is my 3rd trip, unlike the first two, the security is tight everywhere, not just near The Eiffel, almost everywhere you'll have to go through bag check, how sad that the bad and evil are changing the way we live.  I feel extremely sad that this happened to one of my favorite city in the world. Sigh.....

Paris here I come and CCCB #350

It's been a week since I last posted, this is probably the longest gap I have in between posts, LOL! With OBW came to an end, City Crafter Challenge Blog is my only commitment, and now I am only going to blog when I have the time and mood, that way, I could enjoy blogging again and not feeling like a duty or chores.

A lot going on here at home and something exciting is coming....


YES!!!!! I am going to Paris!!!!!

The last two times I was in Paris, it was cold...

2007

 

That was in November I think, I lost all my photos from previous Europe trip because my laptop crushed, this one is from DH's cell phone, since then, I learn that I should store my folders in two places instead of one.

2013


Although we went to Paris early Spring in 2013, but it was still cold first week of April and there's really isn't much bloom.

Clare got into a International Piano competition in Paris, she is going to her semi-final round 3rd week of April. Springtime in Paris!!!! So hopefully, we can see Paris in bloom this time!

The other exciting news is this time my girl friend from Grafing Germany, together with her husband Augustin is going to Paris to give Clare support too, so I am meeting Ann in Paris, YAY!!!!
Ann and I went to the same high school since we were teenagers, we watched each other children grew from infants to adults, she has been a big fan of Clare, till today, her son Ambros still listening to Clare's first CD she recorded when she was just nine years old. Augustin retired about a year ago, they have been traveling non stop since, the last time we went to Grafing, Augustin had a good time chatting with Clare and has been following Clare on instagram, knowing that Clare is going to Paris in the Spring, they made an effort to join us in April! 

Now back to crafting topic...

Here's my project for City Crafter Challenge Blog this week, check out challenge details HERE!


the stitched lines background is one of my favorite background die from MFT


the heart die, sentiment and banner die are all from PTI


the green floral in the heart is another cover plate die from MFT.


I hope you could join in the fun at...

OBW 125 ~ White

This week at



The word picked by Ros is.....

WHITE

I took a few pictures focusing on WHITE this week, but I wasn't happy with any of them, so I went to look for picture in my hard drive, found a few, this is one....


and it is dedicated to my beloved city Paris.

I took this picture at the hotel we stayed 2014. Looking back.... I can see the lady in WHITE weeping for you Paris!
