Heart-shaped paperclips

Posted in craft tips on February 5th, 2010 by Cathy — Be the first to comment!

clips This is one project I wish I had thought of myself.

I saw these adorable heart-shaped paperclips from How About Orange… last year. The best part is you can do it yourself bending the paperclip at the midpoint.

Visit the original blog post for the photo tutorial.

Perfect for Valentines day!

Flower garden – Thailand

Posted in other interests and hobbies on January 30th, 2010 by Cathy — Be the first to comment!

A few summers ago we went to Thailand. Our tour took us to Bangkok and Pattaya. We visited a flower garden and I was awed by this rock sculpture fountain.

Such a little diva! I love how she’s looking over her shoulder and the tiny smirk.

Yelapa, Mexico

Posted in other interests and hobbies on January 28th, 2010 by Cathy — Be the first to comment!

This is one of my all time favorite photos. We were on a day trip to Yelapa, Mexico and were allowed time to wonder the beach and we came across this pile of rocks. What caught my eye was that someone had stacked up a few on the right. It only took seconds for me to pull out my camera and find the right angle. The boat in the back balances the stack of rocks perfectly.

Minneapolis light rail

This is the Minneapolis Light Rail. It was the middle of the afternoon and amazingly there was not a person in sight! I just love the way the the blue of the buildings are reflecting off the train.

Vietnam market full of fresh fruit!

Posted in other interests and hobbies on January 26th, 2010 by Cathy — Be the first to comment!

This photo makes me want to hop on a plane today and head to Vietnam. The markets are full of fresh food, this is one of the may isles of fruits. It just makes my mouth water thinking about the logans (nhan), rambutan (chom chom), green dragon (thanh long), mangosteen (mang cut) and many more! Learn about the different fruit available in Vietnam here.

Rain? That’s not going to stop us!

Posted in other interests and hobbies on January 25th, 2010 by Cathy — Be the first to comment!

Vietnam is known to have two seasons – dry and rainy. We just happened to be visiting during rainy season and were amazed at how well everyone got around during downpour! It seems they’re use to it because in a blink of an eye everyone went from not wearing the rain covers to having them on. Lucky for us, that day we were in a taxi!

The Guthrie Theatre

Just a bike ride away from my house is the Guthrie Theatre. The bright bold color of the building really stands out against the green of the park and the blue sky. The clouds were a bonus!
