This first picture is of me on my first birthday back in 1974, thanks mom for writing the date right on the photo.
This next photo is me again but a little older. Hard to see, but I have on a Kikaida t-shirt on and my little moccasins.

Dear Photograph
I just wanted to share some "Dear Photograph" moments. I've been meaning to post these earlier but it wasn't until I read about Ella Publishing's Challenge. You can read about Dear Photograph and find out more about the creator, here.

A Week in my Life 2012
Here is my life in a typical week. Nothing too exciting really but just a peek into what we do everyday. Sorry the pictures are in collages by the day but within that it is completely random.
Sunday, April 22, 2012
We went to Pearlridge mall and Bostyn enjoyed riding the monorail (called the Sky Cab) and played some games at Fun Factory. We did some shopping at Macy's and Bostyn picked out a few new dresses to buy. Then it was lunch at Tsuruya where we all got noodles. I did about 3 loads of laundry that afternoon then it was off to my parent's house for dinner. Bostyn loves to go there because it gives her time to play with her cousins.
Monday, April 23, 2012
It was a good thing that I did laundry on Sunday because Bostyn insisted wearing her new dress to school. She continues to love that dress and asks to wear it right after washing. Just a simple work day so not much pictures. I captured Bostyn kissing daddy before he left for work, hanging up her backpack at school, and some work she brought home to show us. Then her usual, going over to play at papa's house. Simple dinner of corn and chicken. After dinner, Tate and Bostyn made princess crowns together and then Bostyn dressed Tate up as a princess. Her favorite thing to do.
Tuesday, April 24, 2012
5:30 spin class in the morning for me. If I don't wake up when that alarm rings then I'll never make it to the gym. Tate has been working really hard at his new job which often means late nights at work or on the weekends. He has been trying to take off early at least one day a week to spend time with us. Today was one of those special days. We meet up for lunch at Souvaly, Thai food, and enjoyed all those wonderful dishes shown below. We then went to Toys R Us and bought a few new balls then picked up Bostyn early from school and went to the park to play. She really looks forward to these kinds of day too. We then went to Jamba Juice before heading home.
Wednesday, April 25, 2012
Wednesdays are Bostyn's creative movement dance classes. They are practicing for their upcoming June dance recital where they will be dancing to the Smurf Song. She has a really bright blue tutu to wear for this event. We then went to Leeward Drive-In for some noodles and teri beef dinner plate. I also managed to go check on the chickens and collected their two eggs. The little chicks are no longer little but they are still sweet in their own way. I also received my confirmation that my Silhouette Cameo had been shipped that way. We also got a nice letter in the mail from Disney to help plan our upcoming trip.
Thursday, April 26, 2012
Not much going on. Went to another 5:30am spin class. Shinobu kicks butt! I also managed to get a picture of my portable in which I teach in. I also went on a Costco run and managed to find a few goodies. I'm was reading Catching Fire (already done) and worked on some layouts. I also managed to take a few photos of Bostyn playing at school.
Friday, April 27, 2012
On Fridays, I try to pick up Bostyn early from school and take her to the Farmer's Market. Lots of nice fresh fruits and vegetables to buy. However Bostyn's favorites are lumpia and the jumpers. We then went to Grandma's house to play bubbles with her cousins.
Saturday, April 28, 2012
Tate had to work so Bostyn and I enjoyed the day together. We went to the zoo and then to Teddy's Burger for lunch. We walked across the street to Waikiki Beach and watch the waves for a few minutes then left. Oh how I wished we brought our bathing suits. Bostyn passed out in the car and took a nice 3 hour nap. Shortly after returning home, my Cameo arrived! When Tate came home we went to Ichiriki for dinner. It was our first time but not our last.
I hope you enjoyed seeing a little bit of my everyday life. Be back later with some layouts to share.

April layouts for One Story Down
This was such a busy month creating tons of new layouts for One Story Down. It helps when you have great templates tons of new kits to help get the creative juices flowing. Here they are in no particular order, click here for my gallery to view credits.
Office Space
It's not too often that I blog about work or even create layouts about work. Well, I finally got a good reason to do so . . . a new kit (well a week old already) called Office Space Part 2 by Gennifer Bursett. I really loved the real vintage thing going on. Here are two layouts featuring her kit.
Katherine always host the best digi morph at Design House Digital. It is really fun to see how the layouts keep changing. Here is my page.
I'll be back with a much longer post . . . be warned

Happy Easter 2012
Happy Easter!
While Bostyn was outside playing, the Easter Bunny came and hid a present for Bostyn. It was a good thing that he left a trail of grass so she could find it easily. Bostyn loved her gift, a Barbie doggie with a vet kit. It was a really cute set. The dog and accessories are magnetic so when you put the tissue to her nose, it blows, the bone and bottle to the mouth makes a slurping noise. There are also different parts on her body that will respond when you touch it.
Here is another collage of all the fun we had at Grandma's house.

One Story Down
Okay folks, I am officially a week late. One Story Down opened their "doors" last weekend. They had a week long fun of challenges and games. No longer are they just a blog but a store with great designers. I've been busy the last few weeks helping to prepare for their opening by working on a few layouts. Here are some:

Now onto Design House Digital . . . Mad March Memories challenge. So the last time I blogged, I showed you 2 layouts for MMM challenge. With each round, they get harder. I am pleased to say that I finished all 6 rounds. Here are my final 4 layouts for these challenges.
