BK's Dream Box , Vegas Surprise & A Story

Last night I stayed up late making Valentine's Day cards and Big Kiddo a Valentine's Dream box. The idea behind the box was that I wanted to make something that would encompass dreams of activities and future ideas of what we can share together.

Well, this is how it turned out. I used a Betsey Johnson box that originally came with tights in it as a Christmas gift. I used scrapbooking paper, stickers, chipboards, and quotes to decorate the box.

I also used mini hearts inside of the box. Each heart has a dream of something I would like to do with Big Kiddo. I am really excited how it turned out!

Here are some pictures of my Valentine's Dream Box.

The top of the box...I wanted to have a travel theme with a quote about dreams. The quote below reads "In dreams and in love there are no impossibilities."

One of the sides on my box.

Another side of the box...

XOXO BK! :)

The mini hearts with dreams written on each individual heart inside the box.

Without the hearts on the bottom of the box reveals Big Kiddo's name.

The inside of the top lid of the box...

I really like how my dreamer box turned out, I hope BK likes it too!

Oh and I had mentioned a Sex & The City surprise from Vegas for you all...

Here it is...

Yep, I could not believe in Vegas that this was in one of their casinos! I had to snap a picture and really wanted to play but of course two SATC wannabes were taking it over, bummer.

 

Here are a few other pictures of my trip in Vegas that I liked.

Nope, we didn't get married but if we were even tempted to, I would want to get married at this chapel in the MGM Grand Hotel.

It feels so nice to relax today after a few late nights this week...

I'll leave you with a story about 

a storm I got stuck in...

On Thursday night I went and 

picked up BK at the airport 

when the storms were still going on. 

It was really wet on the freeway 

but I still felt safe.

It wasn't raining that much.

But I had a bad feeling that I should 

have not have gone out.

There were still bad storms in the area. 

I fell asleep at BK's watching a movie with him.

When I left his apartment, there was no rain...

But as I got closer to my apartment 
a few rain drops started to fall.

Soon enough it was pouring rain.

I couldn't seen anything while I was 
driving at 3AM in the morning.

I started to get really scared, I had never 
driven in that much rain before.

Buckets and buckets of water
were coming down.

My tires were turning but there 
was no traction for them to go anywhere.

I started hydroplaning a bit.

The rain was coming down too quickly 
and there was lightning in the sky.

I started to pray.

I wasn't sure if I should 
pull over or keep driving.

I was scared a flash flood would 
happen if I didn't keep driving.

If that should happen my 
car would have been stuck.

My car is too low to the ground to 
withstand that much water.

I decided to drive really 
slowly, about 20 mph.

I made it home to my apt but my 
heart was pounding.

There were no storms by BK so 
he wasn't picking up his phone.

He got my text when I got home and 
thought I was safe.

I was safe but I was really scared.

My heart was still pounding and 
I couldn't fall asleep for a while.

I'm glad I made it home and hope 
I don't get consumed in a storm like that again.

Lesson learned, be careful when crazy 
storms are out and about.

But how was I to know? 
CA never has storms like this.

These past 5 days it has rained and rained.

We have had lots of floods, 
but finally the sun came out today.

You never know what mother nature
can be capable of I suppose.

Be careful in all of these storms Ocean Dreamers!

I have a work convention on Monday-Wednesday where we go to a craft show and learn about some amazing new companies for my magazine company.

I may not get the chance to blog so I'll see you back here on Thursday.

Have a lovely weekend.

XOXO,
