Convention Is Here!

Mom and I are in Orlando for the 2016 Close to My Heart Convention!


 
Here's a quick sneak peek at something new and fun that is coming
 
And...our Adventure color palette will be retiring a few colors.  If you are sad about any of these...or need cardstock, re-inkers or stamp pads before they disappear, please let me know:
Gypsy
Cotton Candy
Topiary
Pear
Honey
Hollyhock
Sunset
 
It's always sad to say good-bye to beloved colors,
but I wonder if you will like the new colors even more...
 
...I hope to see you in August to show you all the new things!!!
It will definitely be Magical!
 
Have a great day!

It's A "Farewell" Party!

Thank you, thank you to the ladies who were able to attend
my "farewell" party at...
 

What fun!
Here's a small selection of photos
 
Jackie, Elizabeth and Diana with yummy milkshakes!

Carmen, Laura and Jackie hanging out in the Corvette Club room.

Socorro and Nancy swapping stories on the end.

Angela and Mom talking teaching stuff!
 
Here's everyone - and it's chow time!!
 
Then, Bruno Mars came over and decided some of our girls needed a fresh, hair make-over!
Angela got some delicious chopstick-style hair knots...
 
Elizabeth got a gorgeous new red bow-tie hair knot...

And Nancy needed a stellar star knot.

All in all, these inspired hair styles ensured we were ready for a night on the town!
 
Thanks bunches for coming for a fun Friday Ladies Night Out!

My Apartment!

Here are some pre-move-in photos of my new place. 
 
Here is my master bathroom.  I like the hotel vanity...so I'm not trapped in a small, humid room when I'm getting ready for the day!

This my living space, peeking into my bedroom.  The lanai is great - I think Mom will LOVE going out there.  My apartment is pretty good about catching the wind.  Just in case of a super hot and/or windless day, I do have an air conditioner on the floor. 

Here is my kitchen.  It's small, but it's only for me.  :o)  Plus, it came will ALL NEW APPLIANCES!!  I get to be the first one to use them all-I even had to remove all the factory tape.

This is Mom's room.  More slats for wind to come in.  The apartment came with three new ceiling fans, too.  
 
Best thing?  I get to start with a bright white pallet.  The floor looks brown, but when the sun is shining, it looks a lot more grey.  I am already starting to add some color. 
Mostly Lagoon and Cotton Candy...and Black.  
 
Here's what I see when I look down from my front door.  I probably won't use it...but it looks fun!
 
Here's my view from my balcony to the left (looking down Waikiki Beach at Diamond Head) and to the right (looking a the start of Waikiki).

 
 
 
Thanks for looking!
Have a happy day!
