Happy Birthday to me!!!

Ok, so I'm a bit late... well, OK... Maybe a few months late... but I did just get my Birthday present.... so....

Happy birthday to me, Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday dear me..... Happy Birthday to me...

Since we can't get anything shipped down here (especially if we want it to actually get here without being stolen), I ordered my birthday present online and had it shipped to Annie's home in New York. I got to pick up and play with my new Wacom tablet!!!! WHAT FUN!!!!

Along the same theme, I wanted to share a scrapbook page that I did of my actual birthday here in Dominican. We took these pictures as we went to a little beach front restaurant called Marabu. It is a really cool white topped (imagine a small circus tent) with glass for windows right on the beach in front of our condos.

I used Kristine's great kit Art Class and a sketch by Lucy.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Well, it might be a bit early, but since we are headed out to New York tomorrow morning to spend the holidays with Matt's family, I wanted to wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving!!!

I just had to use Gina's adorable doodles again, I love them!!! I'm so jealous, I can't even begin to draw a straight line, let alone be this wonderfully creative.

Cuddly Campers

I am finally getting to go through some pictures from past trips that we have taken and able to create scrapbook pages!!

I recently received an invitation to join Gina Arzaga's {cre8tvlyyrs} Creative team and I was so excited to work with her wonderful creations. Check out her blog here and her store here.




Matt took these pictures of us while we were on a camping trip in June of 2006 in Rocky Mountain National Park in Estes Park, Colorado. He loves night photography and had a great time playing with the fire.

Clownin' Around

Whew... what a busy day... We worked this morning on our internet postings and then Matt headed out on the moto to teach at noon.

About 1 our rental agent knocked on the door to see if we could be ready to change apartments in 2 hours. Well, we weren't quite sure if the move would happen or not so we had not packed a thing! So I quickly packed up the entire apartment into suitcases and plastic baggies. Since Matt was working, our rental agent and the cleaner helped me cart everything 3 doors down to our new apartment WITH AIR CONDITIONING!!! I won't boar you with the whole saga of the old apartment's air conditioning other than what I've posted before, but it never worked and it was always warm!!! Our rental agent suggested the move into her old apartment where the air conditioner worked and we were also able to stay here until we leave at the end of January.

Yesterday, I finished a page of the darling little one with pictures that I took of her in May, 2006. I used an adorable kit by Donna @ Chiggerlane Designs called Day at the Circus. Be sure to check her blog here to purchase the kit.
