happy halloween...

hope you have lots of treats and no tricks today! xoxo

one of my favorite...

stores of all time...love Paper Source and was so excited to hear they were opening one only 45 min. from me instead of 2 hours. Guess who was the lucky first customer to walk in door today for the grand opening at the new Paper Source in Costa Mesa? Coulda spend the whole day there...and lots more $...but tried to refrain. Totally inspired to create something every day! xoxo

my poor neighbors...

are probably tired of me playing this new song over and over again...can't wait till December when the new album is out. xoxo

Marie Antoinette...

has anyone seen this movie? If so, what did you think? Debating about catching a movie this weekend and really want to see Nightmare in 3D (one of my favorites is the original) and may see this Marie Antoinette one too...we'll see...just wanted your opinion. Thanks! xoxo

disney...

went to Disneyland and California Adventure...who would've known that it would be so crowded. yikes! Oh well...was fun anyway. Love all the punkins, halloween decorations and pirates...arrgg....! xoxo

unexpected treat...

from a co-worker...love that...such a sweet little arrangement! Love the people that I work with...so thoughtful! Can't wait to see that one tall posie bloom! xoxo

good book...

love those kind of books that you can't put down...P.S. I love you by Cecelia Ahern was one of them. Just found out that there will be a movie based on this book soon too! oxox

new album...

finally bought a new album...my old one was busting at the seams. Love these scrapworks albums with 3 rings...so much easier than the others. Now if someone would design a 12 X 12 album that would house all my pages that have goodies that extend over the page...just a bigger page protector would work...end up cutting all mine open to fit the pages...oh well...maybe someday. so now on to my next project...organizing all my magazine clippings that I've saved for years...bound and determined to get more organized. xoxo

palm springs...

just a few photos from last weeks palm springs trip. We have been going for a mini vacation there for over 10 years for my birthday and always look forward to it! Soaking up the sun and relaxing with our friends...what could be better? Kinda felt out of place when we went downtown and there was a motorcyle rally going on...so many lights and leather! What a combination! This year we decided to check out the Living Desert and we were pleasantly surprised. Loved the giraffes and the model train exhibit! Off to celebrate my mom-in-laws birthday today! Hope you all have a great weekend! xoxo

home...

from a long weekend in Palm Springs. will post a couple pictures later! hope you're having a great week! xoxo

apples, apples...

and more apples! Went to Oak Glen today with friends! Had a great time and delish food! Came home with apple pie, apple cider, apple butter, raspberry syrup (for the apple pie) and apple cinnamon honey and some apples, of course! Good thing dave and i both like them! Can't wait to go back! xoxo

color blog...

you can now see all the fun bags over on the designing with color blog! Had fun decorated this crop in style bag! Wouldn't mind decorating a messenger style one too! Love that once I get tired of it, it can be changed! xoxo
