Ooh la la

Welcome to my blog!

2010-01-29T20:34:00.000-08:00

It's been a while, but I believe I'm back...it will be fun trying to keep up between blogging and Facebook. :) Sometimes you just need a break to spend time with family and friends...I did just that this past year.

2009 was jam packed with adventure, broken bones (daughter) but she is great! Went to Maui with my Grandmother and Aunt...got to Island hop to visit my cousins Jared Stephanie and there kids all doing great. Spent time with girlfriends! Always a plus! xoxo

Another Anniv. with hubby! :) And so many birthdays! Made a 24 hour run to Vegas for my girlfriend Frankie's 40th birthday... Thanksgiving with my friend Jen and her family...Christmas Eve as always with my mothers side of the family...so many cousins! Hubby worked New Years Eve :(

Saints won and are going to the Super Bowl! Who Dat! Super Bowl Party at Jen's with some good Orleans cookn' by my cajun husband!

And coming up...the dreaded 39th bday...can't believe it?

But I see wonderful things in my future, because I have wonderful friends and thats what makes life beautiful!

Much Love to all ...

I will be posting all my art soon as I figure out this Mac...hahaha

Something I Love

2009-01-15T20:48:00.000-08:00

My mother thinks she's not creative ...

But if you ask me I think these towels are a little on the creative side...

I grew up always having fun and vibrant towels and I believe I took it for granite...

Not anymore!

One of the items I asked for when I got married where in fact a set of towels, my mother knocked me out and made me a months supply...which I hide from my husband so he doesn't wreck them. hehehehe

Then she made me these ... They look just like my daughter Haley when she was 2 years old.

I cherish what she creates, she's an amazing person a wonderful mother and grandmother!

What more could you ask, but she's also my best friend.

Rock n' Roll in Chino Hills!

2008-07-29T14:53:00.000-07:00

Some of you know that I live in Chino Hills! We're ok ...I raced home to see the damage and it wasn't bad..my biggest concern where my kids and they're fine just a little freaked out! Oh, and our 70 gallon salt water tank...but thats good too! One item did break and of all things it was my husbands mothers crystal bell...she passed away when my husband was 22 of lung cancer. So, that bothered me. But on an up note all my friends and neighbors are great...just a little shankn'
Thanks
