What Are You Pointing At?

During our honeymoon, B liked to point at things and make a face while taking a picture.  They look quite funny.  Since I have some extra photos that are not going into the Hawaii scrapbook (still need to start), I used these to put into my general scrapbook.

The Walking Dead

At this year's comic expo, some of the cast members of The Walking Dead were there.  Since B and I watch this show quite religiously, he pre-paid a photo op for us to take a photo with these three celebrities.  Not only was the photo expensive, the line up of people to get their photo was long too.  However, while waiting in line, I got a good look of some of the cast members of Supernatural and Stan Lee (and boy, does he look old!)

Mommy To Be

So my bff is going to have a baby boy soon.  Sometimes I can't believe we're in 'motherhood' age.  I still feel like a young 20 year old ... I mean, I am still a young 20 year old... The point being, after growing up with her for the last XX years, it's hard to believe she's having a baby and soon going to be called mom.  It's already pretty sad that our lives are so busy now that it's hard to get together and talk (in high school and university, she called me daily!).  Now with a baby, it's going to be even harder!  Well, she will be having a baby shower soon, but I might not make it (see, busy life).  So as a gift, I started the kid's future education fund in this piggy bank and paired it with a homemade card.  Since I was in Calgary, and decided to make a card last minute, I hardly had any supplies with me.  That means: shopping!  Haha.  I have to say, everything I got was 25% + another 25% off to 70% off.  I paid $48 for my stuff (not just on card stuff, if so, I would have just bought a Hallmark for $4).  Can you imagine if all my stuff were regular priced?  OMG.  Nuts.

Merry Christmas to my Parent-In-Laws

It's been a while since I've last posted but I've been spending that time debating on what and how to make my Christmas present for my new in-laws.  I know that family is VERY important to them.  Therefore, I created a 'family' page for them and framed it in a 12x12 display box.  The photo I selected was our 'first' family photo taken during my wedding in Hawaii, which included my two parent-in-laws, my two sibling-in-laws, B and I, and of course, my own parents.  There were quite a lot of problems creating this layout.  Firstly, I was stressing out how to make this VERY nice since it's my first present for my new 'parents'.  Secondly, I screwed up a few times - making the flowers too poofy for the display case.  I almost had to redo the whole layout.  Good thing I found another 'flatter' flower.  I shouldn't have stressed out too much since at the end of the day, it was done and mailed.  I overheard the phone call between B and 'mamee' and they loved it.  Although I gave B some credit on the present (I had him write the Christmas card), they could tell I made the present.  Haha.

Ireland Scrapbook ... done

The title of this post says it all, it is finally done. Well, of course, I could think of a few other photos I can put into it but why?  Maybe when I have time.  Now, moving on, the England portion of this Europe 2010 trip.  Hopefully it won't take long since I only stayed in England for a few days.  But since I have full time work, and I just signed up for a 14 week course, I don't see it being done for another year.  Sigh.
