Anonymous Swap Card

Hello All
Wow, the last post was in March??? Geez, I didn't realize that. I guess time flies when you are having fun.

Posted is a scan of my card that I made using the Eat Cake Graphics image for the Anonymous Swap. It was great. The cards have been swapped out and mailed to the participants. It was fun to stamp out the images, mail them to the participants and then receive their card back using one of the images. Once they were all received I then swapped them out and mailed them to their partners. It is great because no one knows whose card they will be receiving.

I've been chosen as a New Design Team Member

Hi All!

Happy Green Day!!!

Hi All! Just wanted to wish you a Very Happy St. Patty's Day!!! Beware of the little leprechaun and be careful when drinking that Green Beer, it has magical powers!!!

My New Car!!!

This is IT!!! Al bought me a new car! It is a 2010 Acura TL...I LOVE IT! Merola's Merlot! Burgundy is my favorite color altho' it is not my favorite alcoholic beverage.

I'm baaaack!

February has been a whirlwind month for us. February 5th thru the 8th I went on a Scrapbooking Cruise to the Bahamas, but you knew that if you read my last post. However, as soon as we returned, Al and I stayed in Miami for one extra night, came back to Fort Lauderdale and unpacked to repack for our trip to New Yawk. We spent Valentine's week with Kristin and Albert and Mia. Gotta love the snow...bleck!...I do not miss the heavy jackets, the gloves the scarf and trying to stay warm.We had a great time...lots of great restaurants, seeing the Jersey Boys on Broadway and spending quality time with Al's kids. But Wait!!!! the traveling has not stopped...we returned home from a chilly New Yawk to a cold Florida. Unpack to repack...off to Clearwater to visit Friends. We spent several days at a nearby Resort and Spa, ate great food, enjoyed being entertained by our friends' children. But now we are back in Fort Lauderdale and it still hasn't stopped. Loads of laundry to do!!! Oh, and yes, we both got new cars for ourselves so that has been awesome!!! Never a dull moment around here. LOL. Pictures will be posted at a later date.



Aimee arrived just as we returned from one of our trips. If you don't know Aimee; she is an adorable doll that a friend of mine makes and sells. She will be adorning my car as her pretty hydrangea patterned dress totally matches my car! Baroque Red...oh paleeze...it is Burgundy any way ya look at it. Thank you Madame Samm! I just loooooove her. She will be sitting pretty in my new car.



I will be posting pictures as soon as I can. Chat atcha later!

Cruise Classes

I am in the process of getting ready to take a Scrapbooking Cruise...the first week in February is right around the corner...Yikes! I will be teaching a few classes on the ship and thought I would share them with you. Here they are:

I have always suffered with motion sickness from my childhood to adulthood. My friends are all taking bets on me...I have got to prove them wrong...I am planning on buying the patches, the bracelets, dramamine and whatever else it may take to not toss my "cookies".

Madame Samm

How Awesome Can a Fellow Crafter Be???

Woohoo! I surf the net and can't even tell you how I get where I go, but I found the most awesome person ever! Madame Samm....she is the coolest! We just spent a little over an hour speaking on the phone for the first time and I felt like we knew each other for a lifetime! What an wonderful person, so sweet and intriguing to speak with. She has a ton of experience in all different fields. Crafting, Creating and CAWFEE are just a few things we have in common. What a delight she was to speak with. She has such a charming personality and did I tell you how talented she is?
Well, she helped me with my blog and I am honored to have her blog posted on my list...please go check it out! She makes the most adorable dolls ever! You just have to check her babies out. I am so excited to be adopting one of her Aimee babies. I will post more info on the day that Aimee arrives. Aimee will have her own special place in my new craft room.

OMG!!! What the heck???

My computer has a mind of it's own....I was able to post, but why bother when I couldn't post any pictures!  What is a blog without pictures?? B O R I N G!!!  My settings were all messed up...gotta be those little computer gremlins messing around. ANYWAY! I am back...so much to tell...where do I begin???

Christmas was great! Got lots of AWESOME gifts! Al and I spent our Christmas week in Delray Beach~ what a treat! We hit all the different restaurants from Boca, Lantana, Boynton and West Palm...Yummy! Christmas around the world...a different cuisine each day!
Christmas morning breakfast on the beach at the Dune Deck Restaurant. Nice way to start the day...with Mimosas!!! There was even a Florida Sand rendition of a Snowman...see photo attached!

Well, I hope a fun time was had by all during this Holiday season. Wishing you the best of this New Year! Who'da thunk it...2010!
