Travel, Travel, More Travel and Renos

Life has been very very full for me and my family over the past month and a half. We have been on a Carribean Cruise and explored southern Florida. We have been to many sporting events for Michael including a Basketball Tournmant in Mount Vernon, Washington. Baseball Season is under way and Basketball is winding down. I went away to the Sunshine Coast for a Scrapbooking Retreat with my friend Kandice. I got lots accomplished, a little extra sleep and the beautiful scenery of the Sunshine Coast is always relaxing to me.

I finally got caught up with technology for a nano second and got myself an iphone. There is so much to learn. I'm using my new motto "take action" to learn at least one new thing about it each day. Hopefully by the end of the year I will have it all figured out. LOL

At home Elvino and I have been renovating my office into my studio with paint, lighting, lament floor and a few new and re-worked room embellishments. It has been a long project but I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I'm hoping to close the book on this project Thursday April 26, 2012. I will post photos asap.

Below is a snippit of photos of "Izzy and Diane" on the Cruise:

Scrapping Weekends

I love scrapping weekends away to the Sunshine Coast.

With the hectic schedule I have, these must be scheduled

 to help keep me sane. This photo is from

my last trip with my dear friend Kathy.

We will forever have "Go Nicely" Thanks for the laughs,

they continue to bring a smile to my face

 each time I think of the weekend.

I'm looking forward to my next Scrapping Weekend

coming at the end of March.

I am truly blessed to have the friends I do and also

to live in one of the most beautiful areas of the world

These layouts are still from Crop n Cruise 2009.

I have lots of them. With my upcoming Cruise it has

been fun reliving the first cruise I took to the Carribean.

Let's hope the waters are calmer this time and the weather is just as nice.

I had alot of fun during this photo shoot with Izzy.

I love that we were told to take bad pictures,

That way we can truly appreciate the good ones.
