I voted....

I have been so excited about this years presidential election that I decided I would participate in the early voting process. My Mom, the kids and I waited in line for 3 hours to cast our vote. It was very exciting for me because my kids were able to share this day with me. They stood behind me and gave their support while I made me decision. This will be something I hope they will remember and be able to share with their kids some day. Of course I didn't leave home without my camera. While taking some pics on the stair of the Aventura police department a gentleman offered to take a pic with me and the kids. He was a photographer for playboy for 30 years. I didn't even have to tell him how to use my camera. That is rear. Usually I have to give a quick lesson and then I end up not liking the picture. But this picture I have no complaints. I actually love it and plan on blowing it up on canvas to hang in the house.

After wards we made a stop at Sweet Tomatoes for a healthy lunch and then went to see High School Musical. The kids loved it.

October 23rd ......

I plan on having a great day today. I figure if I tell myself that enough I will actually start to believe it. Been feeling like I am in a rut lately. Hopefully it won't be for long. I hate feeling this way. I went on vacation thinking it would help but I am back to feeling down. I plan on taking the kids out this weekend and maybe happy hour with some friends on Friday just to do something and not think about how life is going for me right now.

So I had a big bowl of granola this morning and had a little time so decided to blog. It feels good to share the little world I call my own with others sometimes.

Wanted to share my two most favorite accessories in the world right now. My two new purses. Aren't they gorgeous? They hold all of my things and the fifty other things that Nay and Niah give me to hold through out the course of a day. LOL

And last I will leave you with a layout I did a couple of days ago. This really says it all about how I am feeling. When I saw this new Bazzill cardstock I knew I had to have it. I didn't even have the heart to cut it so I used the entire piece as is. LOL !! I love it. Have a great day everyone.

My art....

Well I did a mini album for Nayshawn a couple of weeks ago and Niah has been bothering me to do one for her. I finished this last week but I am just now getting around to posting the pics.

I worked on this layout over the weekend.

I am so in love with the new Prima glitter transparencies. I am sorry I didn't order more.

I leave you with my favorite picture from my Bahamas trip. Love it. I think I might have to blow this one up. These Ruins are owned by the Ocean Club. People pay over a thousand dollars a session to have wedding pictures taken here. It is so beautiful.

More pic from Paradise

Here are all the edited pics from my trip. Created a slide show with them.

Finished a layout tonight but will take pics of it tomorrow. Also started a canvas. Will share when it is done. Going to start working on my vacation album tomorrow.

Inspiration ......

I have been so inspired by Donna Downey lately that I painted a canvas inspired by her work.I am jumping on the Inspiration band wagon.

I have joined the Campaign for Creativity.

Also did this layout sometime last week which is also inspired by Mrs. Downey.

Back From Paradise ....

I know I didn't say I left but yes I left. I was out of here this weekend. I took a long needed break from reality. Took my little self over to Atlantis in the Bahamas for rest and relaxation. Even got a Swedish massage. I can you say heaven. I am back fully recharged with a new attitude. I realized that I need to start including myself in the equation. I have been so busy taking care of everyone elses needs that I forgot about mine. Here are some pics from my trip.

Today I am 32 years young....

Yes ... Today is my Birthday .... My special Day ...... My earth Day......
