Destination Niagara...

We've had a couple of weeks of bad weather here on Long Island. We enjoyed a gorgeous summer, then Hurricane Irene blasted us with high winds and flooding. Now the mornings are cool and dry and the afternoons are hot and humid...it's very bizarre. But as long as we're all healthy and happy, I can deal with it!

Wanted to share a quick sneak peek of a mini that I've been working on using the My Creative Scrapbook August album kit. I plan on filling it up with my favorite pics from our Niagara trip. Not sure if the pics are a perfect match for the paper...the tones are a bit off , but I'll figure out a way to make it will work because I really want to scrap those photos and I LOVE this paper line. I'll post more pics when my new camera arrives (an early birthday present...YAY!!!)

Thanks for stopping by today....be blessed!

Photos from Barbados

We're back...and I am so excited to share a few Barbados pics with you. I usually do not like posting a lot of personal photos on my blog, as I know most visitors are expecting to see crafty things, but I have to make an exception. The Crane Resort in Barbados is simply GORGEOUS. It is a self-contained resort on the quiet West Coast of Barbados. Every unit has a full-service kitchen and there is a shopping village on the resort where you can purchase all your necessities. Before I start rambling endlessly about the beauty of this place, I thought I would share a slideshow I put together and a link to my vacation gallery if you care to see more.

Ok...Back to reality. I still need to unpack an a ton of laundry awaits me. I should be back to crafting sometime next week. Still on a holiday high over here! xoxo
