Anniversary cards....

Our Anniversary cards to each other....we don't do traditional.....
Hubby's is made from a large chipboard piece using Graphic 45 "Curtain Call" line of paper.
I will do a Youtube video on both later.

This is mine from hubby....he picked up the canvas frame from Joanns, painted on the crown using some beaded gel medium and painted it a yellowish color and glued all the gems on there. The verse is from Proverbs 12: 4a....."An excellent wife is the crown of her husband...."!
We both wrote our own notes to each other on the backs.
This is what we do for our Anniversary....we make each other things that express the years....now mind you these are only the cards to each other not the gifts.....his is taking me a bit longer to make and so is mine....those will come later.

Celebrety watch.....

We love to people watch so this trip was no exception.....Beverly Hills has quite a diverse sea of characters....interesting.
When we arrived Vanessa checked us in and said if we wanted to wait an hour and half she would upgrade our room from 200.00+ to a 400.00+ room at no extra cost...no brainer...yeah.
So she had a driver take us to Century City to shop....I'm NOT a shopper, but we did people watch...the first place we happened to come across is my favorite store....now I could do some damage in there...lol!

We had a wonderful romantic dinner at a place on Santa Monica called "Silk"....Thai Cuisine.
We decided to go for a walk and came across this street.....hmmmmm wonder who lives down there????

So, as we're walking down Wilshire Blvd. we came to this street....Rodeo Dive
Fitting sculpture for such a place....need I say more.

Go figure it's only 6pm and there is now one open or on the street....

Hubby did some Mother's Day shopping while we were there....I picked the bracelet above the necklace.....lol!
Well it's the thought that counts...hehe♥

Ok, so we head back to the hotel and there is all this commotion going on as I walk by the front doors and this is what it's all about.....standing right outside is Charlie Sheen...he was here for a red carpet event....

I have no idea who this gal is but she was on the red carpet too...

You can see Extra, ET and Access Hollywood all trying to get an interview in this small 4x10 area....funny that's all any red carpet is.

We did however get the scoop when we checked out that Price William and Kate will be staying at the same hotel when they come to America this summer.

Beverly Hills trip....

On May 4th hubby and I celebrated our 15 anniversary....woo hoo♥ it.
My girlfriend gave us a gift certificate for a free nights stay at the Beverly Hills Hilton so we went up there on Thursday....we had a great time. Below, is the view of the fountain just below our room.
This is the side entrance into the hotel.....this pic doesn't do it justice...the smells were so intoxicating with the Jasmine in full bloom and the other tropical flowers....my nostrils hurt from all the deep breathing I did trying to soak it all in...lol

This is the sunset from our balcony......

The next couple of pics are of permanent house guests of the hotel.....I couldn't believe how clear these pictures turned out....a good photographer waits and shoots many pictures until they get that right one....this lion fish was mine...♥

This guy was not happy with me...I was determined to get his picture....he's giving me the look...lol!

We got there early so we went to Century City and did some people watching...it's a big outdoors shopping mall and they had a huge out side Farmers Market...both Bryan and I had our first Falafels....have to try and make some at home...they were tasty!
