My sister makes a really simple baked salmon. I went over her place one time and she made the baked salmon for my daughters and it was really tasty. Then, I had my sister over and made my version with added mushrooms, white wine, mustard, butter, etc. It was a fancied up version of hers... Continue Reading →
Happy Monday. The day is almost over though. Kida has a ballet performance in a bit here so I'm going to try to get this in before I leave. I'm trying to hype myself up for my idea of a hybrid photo album. Hybrid scrapbooks and photo albums are not new. It's been around for... Continue Reading →
ElEOldest daughter wanted a digital layout similar to her younger sister so I searched old photos and found one with her around the same age. The photo was from 2006. She picked some of the elements and wanted flowers too so I searched old photos for some flowers that would stand out a bit. Last... Continue Reading →
This was done for Digital Whisper's challenge. The White Hmong (Hmoob Dawb) dress outfit really doesn't have a lot of color but I'm really liking the belts. The photo was taken in July 2005 when the Nkauj Zaj Hmoob dance group was preparing for the Dragon Boat Festival performance stage. [Added 2/23] Just thought I'd... Continue Reading →
Kylie got a pretty dress today at Costco. I took some photos and decided to use some of the designs I purchased from Irene Alexeeva Designs to make a layout showing off her dress. Everything in the layout except for Kylie and the roses are from the purchase. ♥
Late last year my sister and I had this idea that we would blog about Mom's cooking but we never had the time so I'm going to talk about it here instead. Mom used to make these wonderful tasty flat cakes I used to stuff my face with. She used very basic ingredients: flour, sugar,... Continue Reading →
I decided to buy the full set from Irene Alexeeva Designs since just downloading the free one used for Kylie's wasn't enough. I could have used it again with Kida's but I wanted the designs for each girl's to be different. I had no idea that the elements came separately from the background pages. It... Continue Reading →
The digital layout is from Irene Alexeeva Designs. I added the photos and the cursive text. The cursive text was from...gosh, I can't remember. They're from a website I used to frequent. The text is called DearJoe. Late last night, Kylie was trying to make a house on the couch with the couch pillows and... Continue Reading →
My sister, who used to work with Mac computers at work showed me how to do a screen shot on my Mac a few months back. Yeah, I'm still pretty new to Mac's even though I've been religiously using my Mac book for about 5 years now. With this new knowledge, I am now able... Continue Reading →
It snowed this past Saturday with soft flaky snow landing so peacefully on the ground that I didn't even know it was snowing until I looked up from concentrating on my homework assignment. Spoken Words From A Toddler: "I'm In The Front" Yesterday morning while on our way to drop Kida off at catechism I... Continue Reading →
