Why cant vacations last a wee bit longer...

Oh my....time has been running away with me lately...I am finally getting around to posting some pic of the trip...Oh How I wish vacations could last just a little bit longer...

At the last minute we ended up changing our room and I am so glad we did...hubby takes the credit on that move...because we ended up having a balcony and if it was up to me....I could have stayed there the entire time...

My favorite stop was "Blue Lagoon Island"...another place I could have stayed a wee bit longer...

...This shot was taken looking up from the Hammock Josh and I snoozed on...

...and Hannah found a tiny Hermit crab and wanted to bring it home...

...Back on board we played some mini golf...

...and the kids anjoyed the slides...

...But again...for me...I could have hung around this patio...soaking in the massive beauty...

and been perfectly ok with that.

Happy Friday Friends!

One Step Closer

I am thrilled,blissful,delighted,overjoyed... to announce that I have been accepted to teach at Artful Gathering!! 




For those of you that are unfamiliar with Artful Gathering here is bit of deliciousness(I think that's a word) from the site..."it is an online Art Event. With the ever increasing costs of travel and lodging, traditional art retreats are often inconvenient and inaccessible to many. Artful Gathering is the place to go for art inspiration, workshops, community, and learning. Bridging the gap between time zones and busy schedules, Artful Gathering is the gateway for uniting brilliant and talented instructors with students the world over. Everything is at your fingertips, with 24/7 access to learning in the comfort and ease of your own home.


The Difference is...the experience. Artful Gathering brings our art retreat to you. Learning and participating happens from your very own art studio where you can work and practice on your own time, while learning from instructors who film their class close up so that your viewpoint is right over their shoulder. Each year, we bring you new faces and new horizons for you to explore and enjoy!"

Doesn't it sound wonderful!!I am so thankful to Zinnia from http://zinniasart.blogspot.com/ for giving me amazing opportunity...I hope I make you proud girl!!

The Blue Lagoon

Happy Saturday Sweet Friends!!

Hubby and I are taking the kids on their first Cruise and they are soooooo excited...makes me excited seeing them bounce around and asking tons and tons of questions.

On the Itinerary is The Blue Lagoon in Freeport Bahamas,where the family will enjoy some beautiful sun,crystal clear water and a once in a lifetime treat of Dolphin play.My hope is to find some time to keep a travel journal,I was so inspired by Caterina's Journals from La Dolce Vita, click here to see them,but with the kids running around,I might be to tempted to join in on the fun.

We will be away until next Friday,so I just wanted to wish everyone a healthy and happy week.

Blessings to you all.
