Can't believe summer is almost over, it has gone by as fast as usual. Just a few more trips to the beach, and that will about do it. I made a list a week or so ago, of things I still wanted to get done, and now it's gettting down to the wire. Not going to complete it by the end of summer, but there is always the fall. hmmm.

It makes an art teacher proud, when her students are in Chicago on vacation and they come across a piece of artwork that they recognize from art class and they text her and tell her they saw Alexander Calder's "Flamingo" and they send her a picture. Well at least two have been listening. I have the best job.

Design Team challenge for the Red Bee: Create a 1 page layout using Smooch Spritz. I bought a wine purple color and sprayed a white sheet of paper with the word girl masked on top, then added stamps and paper and ribbons and buttons. Photo by Tara Whitney.

These are a swap return on Zetti Twinchies. These were really fun, so happy with my returns.

Bad Blogger, Bad Blogger. Just noticed it's been almost a month since I updated my blog, which is not normally like me at all. But then I got to thinking, it's the end of the school year and things get really busy, right before the summer break and that's where I am right now. Just 11.5 days left of school for this year, wow, it's flown by at usual. Looking forward to sleepin in and going to the beach a lot. This pic is from a girl's weekend in Lake Arrowhead a couple of weeks ago. What fun.

Happy Mother's Day to all my special mom friends and to my mom. You are the thread that holds us together.

Spent some time in down town Santa Ana this weekend. Actually had a photo shoot with Tara Whitney. Looking forward to seeing those shots. I didn't have much time to look around at the art, but whenever I go there it makes me want to go back and explore and immerse myself in the creativity.
