July 23rd was my 2 year "Cali-versary". Hard to believe it was over two years ago on a chilly July night (50F and windy) I arrived in Oakland. The plan was to work at OTX West for a year, gain some experience, enjoy California, and by then the recession would be over and I could return to the South and resume normal life. Life rarely goes according to plan though.
My 2nd Cali-versary didn't go according to plan. Last year I was in Napa at the Chris Botti concert, this year I fell ill. But I still decided to make a colour tribute.
Cali-versary contains the following colours:

Cali-versary contains the following colours:
- Gilded - the yellow
- tangerinedreaming - an orange for those odd tasting Cali oranges (still prefer Florida's)
- cali-luv - a sweet pink. I do "luv Cali"
- dangerous girl - still one of my fave colours I discovered
- stop by Julee @CL - to complete the sizzling yet adorable scheme.
I was able to use some of the pattern templates I designed as well as some of my all-time favourites. Just a simple tribute to Cali, my home away from home. As much as I miss the South, the East Coast in general, this was necessary. I've grown so much in the past two years and discovered so much about myself. Hopefully I will be spend a few more years here.

Happy Cali-versary! :) It is too true...life NEVER turns out the way you intend.
