MORE SNOW?

Alex enjoying the last snow of the YEAR!, go it Mother Nature?  Most of the snow melting down already.

SLEEP WHO NEEDS IT

Well I do. This is the room that Krista and I shared at the Scraparoni crop.  We woke up early and went to sleep late in the hopes to get caught up with our scrapbooking.
It was a nice suite that we shared with Delia, Judy and Catherine.  Two bedrooms with a sitting area in between a small kitchenette that featured a refrigerator filled with cheese and wine that we brought and did not finish. It was a nice room.

SCRAPBOOKING WITH FRIENDS

Catherine, Delia, Judy, Krista and I shared a weekend of scrapbooking, chatting, eating, shopping, chatting, shopping,
eating, chatting, and did I mention scrapbooking? 3/1/13-3/3/13
I enjoyed myself, and I was able to complete 12 pages, and one that I had started on our last crop at Palmyra.  Well I still have to add a tittle and some journaling to some of the pages.
I got a nice Ott light lamp, and lots of goodies.

Trip to Maryland October 2012

My two sister in law and myself took a bus trip
to Maryland.  We first went to St. Jude's shrine,
where we attended the Sunday morning mass.
After eating some refreshments at the shrine's
cafeteria and doing a little shopping at the gift
shop we took pictures of the chapel and outside
of the church.
We all got back in the bus, and after a short drive
we got out at the seaport.  What a beautiful place!
We had wanted to take a ride on one of the many boats around the bay, but time was not on our side. So we settled for a walking tour filled with picture
after picture of the sites and us of course.
We enjoyed a nice late lunch with the view of the
bay and I promised myself to go back soon.
The trip back was a long one and I caught Irma
taking a nap. Zoraida and myself enjoyed a musical
video and chatted about crafting

Life is for living

It is hard to belief that our beloved kitty is 3 years old. Not quite sure about the day of her birth, we
have decided to celebrate it on the last Sunday of February.
She came to us mid march 3 years ago. Frail, thin and perhaps at the edge of dying. A small kitten,
so tiny so precious.  We fed her and she ate so eagerly, I remember how endearing she soon became.
After taking her to the vet we were told she had leukemia. The vet recommended she be put to sleep.
None of us were able to sleep that night, how could we end the life of the very kitten we had just
brought back to life.  We secured a second opinion, which collaborated the first one.  However we had
a choice, vaccinating our other cat Gato and treating Agatha immediate problems such an eye infection,
and other minor ailments. Loving her every second of each minute and naturing her constantly.
A few $$$ and 3 years later she is our beloved and skittish kitten. Life is for living and Agatha knows that very well.  Enjoy the moment and share every second with all who are meaningful in your life

Another layout

So it seems that time has a way of
catching up with me.  This is one of 
the layouts I finished at Palmyra.
As usual my plans are grand, the results not so much.
This is a picture of Alex and Papo
by the Hudson river.  We went out
for brunch to celebrate Papo's 29th 
birthday. He has finally caught up 
to me in years!!!

PALMYRA CROP

 Ellen, Judy, and myself enjoyed 3 fun filled days @ Palmyra Inn for a crop.
Arriving at Ellen's on Thursday by 9:30 pm, excitement overshadowed the quietness
of a household trying to sleep, sorry Ellen.
Food preparation, chop,chop chop of healthy vegetables preceded the Michael's
shop,shop,shop trip for much needed crafting indulgence.  After picking up some
extra groceries, and having lunch, Judy and I drove to the inn.  Ellen joined us
later.  We each had a 8 foot table plus one extra one (Louise's) for the community
tools to be shared and kept neatly!!!
We talked, and planned and talked, and ate, and talked. Some crafting also took place.
Sleep was scarce, but like I told Judy we were on vacation.

Lots of space

Road Trip!!!

Well I hope you gals are getting ready!
I know I am.  I have pictures, papers, sketches
all over the dinning room table. So much to do so little time.
Judy and I are driving to Ellen in less than 48 hours
for a wild scrapbooking getaway way up north in Palmyra, this is really a ROAD TRIP!!!

Getting ready

In an effort to take advantage of every second of my upcoming crop I've been sketcing pages, separating pictures, choosing papers. I can't wait.  I have so much still to do and so little time!

Two Beautiful Girls

Agatha and Krista

They are just beautiful!
