I'm no longer feeling under the weather and have been able to get back into my craft room. (Yay!) So I'm sorry if I haven't posted lately.
Anyways...
My daughters and I drove the short drive (2+ hours) to Hollwood to meet up with Sarah (PinkCricut) and Emma (My Creative Time) and some other scrappers from So Cal. Sarah and Emma are in town for CHA and they organized a little get together for brunch. I had a great time meeting some sweet and creative women whose blogs I've been following!
Here are a couple of pics from the meet up.

Group picture! (My oldest daughter doesn't like her picture to be taken, so she was nice enough to help take pictures with everyone's cameras.)
Afterwards my daughters and I decided to drive around Hollywood and do some sight seeing. I can't believe that I was born in SD and have lived here my whole life, yet I've never played tourist in Hollywood!
We drove through the Hollywood Hills looking at some incredible homes (mansions actually) and then we drove up to the Griffith Observatory. My daughter informed me that this is where they filmed a scene for Charlie's Angels the movie. The drive up was gorgeous and the views from atop the hill are amazing!
Me and my youngest at the Observatory with the Hollywood sign in the background.
Views of the city from the Observatory.
And no trip to Hollywood would be complete without driving up to see the Hollywood sign. The roads were narrow and winding (I can't believe people actually want to live there. And pay lots of money for homes with barely any property!)
And finally, a close up picture of the Hollywood sign.
We had a great time on our adventure. Now I'm off to make something crafty!
Thanks for stopping by!
