Washi Tape

  I've just discovered washi tape and bought a few rolls at the scrapbook convention last February.  I know quite a few people who are Disney fans and thought these would be fun.

  I don't have a Mickey Mouse die, so I made my own shape with 3 circle punches.  This is another 10 minute card.

Snoopy Coaster Run

  On March 10, 2013, we ran the Snoopy Coaster Run 10K.  I only run this race for the cool Snoopy finisher's medal.  Also, after the run, all finishers get a slice of boysenberry pie from Knott's Berry Farm.

Birthday "flip it" Card

  It is always difficult to make a card for a fellow card maker.  I always think that their creations are so cute that mine just cannot compare.  However, on the positive side, a fellow card maker knows how much time and effort you put into making this special gift for them that they will most likely keep it forever.
  Here is a card I made for my card making/stamp show/scrapbook convention/shopping partner.  I am actually pretty happy with the way it turned out.

  I used a mixture of DeNami and The Stamps of Life stamps.  Of course I had to glitter the card up a bit.  I am LOVING those flip it dies I bought!

  Today was the stamp show in Carson (CA) and I saw Nami (and the gang).  I bought a lot of new goodies that I am dying to try out.  I hope I have some time tomorrow to make new stuff and share it with you all.

New Orleans Rock 'N' Roll Half Marathon

  On 2/24/2013, I finished my 3rd half marathon of 2013.  My time is getting better at 2:50:23, but I don't think I had enough recovery time between the Pasadena half marathon and this one (which was only one week apart).  By mile 3, my right knee and both ankles were aching.  At the end of the race, I even had to ice my knee.  The worse part was that the shuttle that took us back to the starting area (where our hotel was) seemed like another mile from the finish line!
  On top of it all, we jumped on a cruise ship right after the race.  On my next post, I'll let you all know about our cruise to the Western Caribbean.  For those of you who have been on cruises before know that there is a LOT of walking on the ship...and up and down stairs.  For a few days, I was hobbling around the ship.  
  I should be getting my extra "Triple Crown" race medal in a few weeks...I can't wait!
