Hoping for a Rain

Today's temperature is about 39°C (102°F). Another hot day. But I was told that this is a sign that the rainy season is near. I just can't wait.

Counting the last couple of days of dry season and I will soon have to say goodbye to these gorgeous flowers and delicious fruits. Quite similar to what I experienced in Vancouver, except this time I don't see falling leaves nor experience having cold hands. If I were in Vancouver, I certainly would not hope for a rain. LOL! Vancouver rains a lot! It's still a beautiful city, nevertheless.



Mangoes and a Blewah (or muskmelon). It certainly reminds me of a pumpkin, but this is nothing taste like a pumpkin. It tastes more like a melon or a cantaloupe.


Ethan turned 11 months yesterday. Can you tell that he is actually under the weather? This little fighter does not allow some cough bugs ruining his playtime.

Check back tomorrow as I'll be doing my 1st ever GIVEAWAY! You know you don't want to miss it. :-)

Hot Weather

It's been hot for these past few days. TOO hot, in fact! I sweat a lot as I took some pictures of my cards as if I was in a sauna. The air conditioner in my bedroom was on almost 24/7. At nights we have to turn both ACs on. Yes, we need 2 to make it cool enough for this 400 square feet bedroom.


That just brought the electricity bill went up to the roof. Eek! But at least we save some money on laundry :-)



Here are some Christmas tags and cards I made recently. These will add variety to my AdoreByNat store.




Although I'm not anywhere near scrapbooking stores, I LOVE receiving their newsletters. They make me feel closer to home. Today, I received a newsletters from Treasuries of Memories. And guess what, these buttons, flowers & ribbons from Daisy D's are only $2.50 or 5 for $2 each (regular price is $5.99). That's REALLY a bargain! If I were in Vancouver, I would make an excuse to my husband to drive me to Bellingham. I will load up a cart with them. But until then, I can only drool...
