Jenna does Hong Kong in 34 hours...

Photobucket

Jenna's ship came and parked at my house! it was so exciting to have Jenna come for a brief whirlwind tour of hong kong... whirlwind because her ship was only here for 34 hours and she had to work 9 of those hours. We had to make sure we adhered to a strict schedule...(anyone that knows us well are probably giggling at that). We whisked all over the place first mongkok for the market, bubble tea and a fun filled lunch at a toilet themed restaurant...
We then went up the peak on the tram, Jenna got in a fight with the escalator and she lost. We must say Hong Kong first aid is no joke! It was like she lost a toe or something...(no worries those who are panicking, it was just a slice on the bottom of her toe). We had dinner at Bubba Gumps restaurant, a Forrest Gump themed restaurant (we are all about the themed restaurants). We then stuck our elbows out to fight the crowds at the look out to see over top of Hong Kong at night...still one of my favorite sights (sorry no good photos were taken...). A quick drink at lankwaifung with Luke, then Jenna had to return to her ship before it turned into a pumpkin.. (well thats what it felt like).

The next day we picked Jenna up bright and fresh (he he) from her all night shift. She got to experience Luke's F1 driving style as we whipped through Hong Kong for a brief tour of our house on our way through Hong Kongs scenic ocean country roads to Sai Kung. We walked a bit through Sai Kung and finally settled on Anthonys Ranch for lunch...even though Sai Kung is famous for its seafood Jenna wasn't too keen to try it. We still had a great lunch including deep fried pickles!! Hong Kong has everything!! I tried to hold Jenna hostage and get her to stay here... but unfortunately she had to go with a promise she will return one day!!

My personality...


So time to start showing some of my work. It has been weird this month because I have been challenged by different places to do similar projects.
First, one of my university assignments for my visual design class is to do a project describing myself. I also had seen the march AAM challenge to do a LO about your personality and I thought "Perfect!" I will work these together.
I had planned to work on this at the scrapping retreat I just went to, and while there we had a challenge to describe different chocolate and use those words and thoughts on a LO about us. Well that works even better! I actually won for best journaling in this challenge! since journaling is a new thing for me this year I was so pleased!
I also thought that this was a great second post for the new blog as it introduces myself a bit more.

...from me with love...

Ok...finally after much request I have finally started a blog! My friends have often told me I should start a blog to tell of my crazy happenings living abroad, it also makes it easier to keep them updated and our phone calls shorter. I also wanted to find a way to share all my creative projects with those who want to take a peek. So alas...from me with love...has arrived.

I must say the thing that has kept me from creating a blog sooner was finding the right name...I knew that my blog would quickly become an obsession, my baby... and you just don't call your baby anything.. umm well some do I guess.. but I don't!! From me with love came to me when I was signing an email the same way I usual do to those I miss and love... thats when I realized it was perfect! my blog is essentially sharing and writing to those out there tuning in to see what I am up to.
So here it is, from me with love.
