Los Cabos

We're back from a week in Los Cabos as Las Ventanas. It was our friend Gary's 60th birthday party celebration. Boy was it hot . . . and HUMID. Probably the hottest and stickiest it's ever been when I was there. While Las Ventanas was a beautiful resort, it was a bit snobby for me and it was amazing what they charged for food and drinks. I guess I'm just an Espie girl. My sister and BIL have a place there and it is still my favorite. Here's a few pics of our week.

Caardvarks challenge - A Card to Die For

The latest Caardvarks challenge is to use a die cut. I used a MME "adore" diecut and used pop dots to adhere it to the card. It's a little hard to tell, even in the detail, but I then coated the diecut and flowers with a little MM glitter glaze.

My First Print Publication

I was very excited to get my copy of PC Holiday Cards & More Volume 2 in the mail yesterday . It contains my very first ever print publication item - a holiday tag. It's the "Joy" tag in the picture below. You can click on the picture to make it larger.

My Little Girl is Two

Little Hailey is turning two today. She certainly doesn't act her age - she still thinks she's a wild kitten running around the house and chasing her brother. She struck a nice fall pose for her birthday photo here.
