back.

We made it back last night... The weather in FL was very nice and it was a very relaxing vacation, birthday/anniversary celebration. Here are a few pics. Hopefully, I can find time to scrap them soon! It was so pretty there... I had a hard time trying not to take so many photos of the water!

Neal made up a new sport..."boogie fishing". Resembles his "snorkel fishing" which he did in Hawaii after getting a lure stuck. Another fisherman on the shore said he liked Neal's technique.

I just liked watching him try and get out there with the boogie board and fishing stuff!

"Come see what I caught!"

Lady fish. Not so good to eat, but fun to catch. We put these back.

Caught something else this time...

Sting Ray... we put him back, too.

Lovely moon over the ocean. Made for nice night walks on the beach.

I only have one question... How soon can we go back?!

vacation.

Well, I'll be gone for a bit... 10 days to be exact! We're heading to the beach near Destin, FL for a little R&R and to celebrate our 11 year anniversary! Here's a little something I finally completed yesterday. Simple, but for some reason it took a while of looking at it! LOL! You know how that goes sometimes!

Grossbeak!

I love birds and get so excited to see these! They seem a little shy around here, so sometimes they are hard to capture in a photo...

Happy Tuesday!

custom Mother's day cards for Grandma.

A friend of mine wanted me to make her a couple of cards for her grandmas for Mother's day... Cute! I'm having fun making these pretty, girly cards!

peeks.

Hi there! Hope you're spring is going well! Things are really blooming around here and I'm thankful for a bit of a warm up.

Just been doing a little of this and that, but here are some peeks for tonight... I'll be putting 2 Mother's Day cards on Etsy and the Sports Guy layout on eBay later this evening.

Pink Dogwood tree surprise

This is our first Spring in this house. When we first moved in, I noticed an average looking tree out front but didn't pay much attention to it. Until now... I noticed last week it had some buds on it and smooth bark like the dogwood trees in the neighborhood. But, it wasn't in bloom like the other dogwood trees. One day, on my way home from walking the dog, I noticed the buds opening and took a closer look. To my surprise, it is a Pink Dogwood! I've always wanted one of these beauties! Sorry, but I couldn't seem to stop taking pictures of it... Enjoy!

I also wanted to share some photos from the tag albums I have on eBay right now...

Hope you're having a great Spring so far!!!

spring cleaning.

I'm here, really I am! Sorry about being MIA for so long. I've been cleaning the house. You know the kind of cleaning you only do once or twice a year. Blinds, hardwoods, furniture... Actually cleaning out stuff like the scrap room, too. I have a before shot for you. So embarrassing. But, the after shot is coming.


I also set up my guest bedroom for my sweet sister-in-law to come. I got the bedding at Target and LOVE it. She's a shabby chic kind of girl too, so I'm pretty confident she'll love it. I changed to my summer bedding on my bed. It's not as girly. I figure I will give hubby a break on the winter flowers over the summer with some stripes. :-)
Since we moved to this smaller house, it is faster to clean, but it seems to get messier quicker! I love how easy and pretty the hardwoods are, too. I guess while I'm putting pics up, I might as well show you the living room...
Dining and kitchen...

The kitchen is pretty small, but it's open to the living room and dining area, which I love. Anyway, I know it won't make it into any magazines, but I feel I've made it "home" for us. :-)

Hope you are having a great spring!

rainy days + new photos = good time to scrap!

This weekend I made this cute layout with some of the new MME papers and chipboard. I also used a KI layered flower, Heidi Swapp "cherish" sticker, 7Gypsies quote sticker, Prima flower, MM letter stickers and added a little stitching so it didn't look like it was going to slide off the page. :-) Hope you had a nice weekend, too!

another one...

The sun is out today! Yea! Or as my Smart-alecky husband would say, the sun is always out, but there are a lack of clouds today.

Here's another layout I did... I used a lot of the Jenni B February kit and some of my favorite Melissa Frances paper!
I will upload better photos of those last layouts, too. I'm also working on some Valentine pages for Etsy later today, too! Bye for now!

creative.

I was feeling creative and inspired to make some layouts for myself this past weekend... So, I'll share a little peek with you! Sorry, the lighting is not so good. It has been dark and gloomy here. I used some BasicGrey and minimal embellies.

More coming soon! Happy Wednesday!

puppy sitting.

Libby's friend, Baxter is spending the weekend with us. They are both playful and after a few minutes of Baxter missing his mommy and daddy, they were off to the races!

Awe, so cute! You would think my Libby would be able to dominate the situation, but it turns out, she doesn't know she's bigger than Baxter. LOL!
