Old Friends, New Memories

It is going to be one super fun summer; or so I hope. I am going to be in New York City more often. To catch up with old friends in New York City is now going to be easier. I always found it difficult and expensive to go to New York. So when I went two summers ago, I decided to stay out for a weekend. It was nice to see people that I haven't seen in years. At the time, I really needed to just get away from everyone and everything. It was quite a memorable couple of days. I hope this summer I will be able to meet up with more friends that  I haven't seen in years. 

These pictures were taken at Coney Island in the Ferris Wheel. If I remember correctly, it was before it closed down. I hate roller coasters and they kind of guilted me into going on the Cyclone. I remember that I was crying after the ride was over; actually I will admit I started before the ride even moved. But I hadn't seen Herman, Jeanne, Cynthia, and Edward since I 'graduated' Chinese school; so I didn't want to ruin the fun.

Summer Time

I haven't blogged in a while, because of finals and graduation preparation. So graduation was earlier this week and my gosh has time flew by. My graduation festivities are mostly over and I am sitting at home waiting for the next thing in my life to happen. Summer is already here and it really doesn't feel like it. I think back to the high school summers that I had four years ago. The day that school let out, everyone let loose: no school, no homework; but I really cannot remember what else we looked forward to. I rarely ever went to the beach.

I really like this layout, since it is my first fun beach visit layout. Hopefully it will not be my last visit. I had popsicle sticks that were different colors. They reminded my of the fences that line the beach. So I lined them up to get the same feeling. The beach reminds me of the colorful clothing people wear during the summer.

I am super excited about this summer. I printed all my graduation pictures today and I am dying to start make pages of the my last semester of college. Hopefully, I will start soon. HAPPY SUMMER EVERYONE!

A Sister's Day

Happy Birthday Sharon!

I know it must be tiring for my readers to see so many birthday posts. But I have too many special people that have been there for me for years. Last year, My Godsister and I went to Paris together; the picture is of us at the Louvre and the many glass pyramids. It  was such a great experience and I am so glad that I went. This page is some what bare only because it is one of the many pages I created for our Paris Trip. I have made four complete scrapbooks of the trip. 

The theme of the page was Friends, because that is what Sharon and I were friends first. Then she was just a great friends that I knew I wanted her to part of my life for the long term. I loved how the ribbon colors worked well together. I think it was one of my very first pages where I had flowers and ribbon together. At the time, I hadn't developed an addiction to flowers yet. Those little white ones are from a kit I had bought way in the beginning of my scrapbooking days. 

I actually do not have a list of the materials I used but I think I remember so I will list what I can.
