The summer is looking great with vacations, the Cragles coming, reading camps and everything else. Have a great one.

Happy Birthday to Me

Hello, yes it was my 40th birthday. It was calm and quiet. Breakfast delivered by a very good friend, Dinner at my favorite restaurant and cake at home with kids, Dave, Lecole, Cole and Madison. Because it was a "Big One" the gifts were BIG also, a new Canon Rebel xsi, some old things but good things, and a shinny new Grill from Mom and Dad. The weekend was very nice with manicures and pedicures for the girls, a trip to the scrapbook store and even a trip to the beach. Could not ask for more. Hope everyone had a nice Memorial Day weekend.

Will share some photos and the old gifts soon.

Record Album

Julia and her Godfather share the same birthdate. Last year Sean gave Julia as a gift a drumming lesson at the School Of Rock!! She had a blast. This year for his Birthday gift i used some 45 records to create a small album from last years gift.

Look who is ten!

yes our Julia Bulia is ten today. You go girl.... It seems like only yesterday that you were running around bare foot, yelling and giggling, Oh yeah that was yesterday! You are growing up so fast. You are becoming a beautiful young woman.

Happy Birthday Julia, Love Mommy

trip with camera club

Buildings in a sea of graffiti.
walking in China town these beads were hanging outside a small shop. They were very colorful.
Some signs of spring at the foot of the bridge span.



A strong statement on an old rusted warehouse door.


What a fun time with the Ridgewood Camera Club.

Mini album of Austin

Here is a mini album of our 60 hour trip to Austin Texas!!! We had a lot of fun.
The new Basic Grey paper was what I decided to use to make this album. I used a lot of embellishments from KI memories, My Minds Eye, Stampin' up, and just whatever I had on hand. I used my bind it all to make the book.
I even used water color on this page!



Thanks for looking.
