bloom

hello and TGIF! did i mention i FINALLY got my laptop back from the geek squad at best buys? it was a little over 3 WEEKS!! never again are we taking our stuff there to have fixed or repaired. their lack of customer service, not calling us to tell us what was going on and never answering their phones did us in. not to mention how much we had to pay! bad experience for us with them. BUT, i am happy to have my laptop back. anyways....................

made an accordion flower for the 1st time. i thought these were easy but not so much! you really have to get it 'just right' and to stay flat.


i never got to share my pictures from SF from when we went at the end of august. i was throwing my sister's & BIL's baby shower but a week before the shower, my BIL's father passed away. we postponed the shower but i still wanted to go to see my pregnant sister and my family. plus it was going to be our last trip before school started up. i cannot wait to meet my new niece!!

a glimpse of brybry's suitcase. makes me smile just looking at this =)
we went to a kids museum and coit tower (the boys were running around burning off energy).



we played tourist with the boys. we also went to lombard street but didn't get very good pictures!
thanks for stopping by!

LOVE your accordion card! Wow, I don't think I've ever done one, don't remember really! I will keep in mind where you went if my computer ever crashes, how terrible you had to go through that! When is your niece coming? What month?

I love your card, Ivy, and congrats on the CARDS blog! That flower was worth all the work; I will have to give it a try one of these days. And great pics - I can't wait to go to SF.
