I know some of you don't do Facebook, so I put together a slide show for you with some of the pictures I posted on Facebook of the wedding, Luau, cocktail party & some of the sites we visited on Maui. I hope you enjoy them. If you want to see more pictures & videos then become my friend on Facebook. Thanks. I still have not done any crafting so I hope to get back into it soon, I have no mojo right now.
Thanks for stopping by today & I hope you have a fabulous day!
Here's our Slide Show of The Alamo & The River Walk in San Antonio Texas. We went to visit my niece Pat & her husband Gary in May. They showed us around Texas & made us feel right at home. We had a fabulous time, thanks so much for taking such good care of us...we love & miss you guys! Pat is only 18 months younger than me & we were more like sisters growing up than aunt & niece. Her sister Joyce (the one that got married last year in San Diego), Pat & I were called the 3 stooges by my mom because we were always together.
Warning...this is a really long post today. We celebrated my daughter-in-law Sarah's 30th birthday with a Clam boil & BBQ at her brother's house on Saturday. It was supposed to be a surprise party but in Marc's haste one day (a few days before the party) he left something on his desk in their home office & she saw it...so surprise was off, oh well.

another view of the basket...I luv the colors!
Sarah has been wanting my Starbucks mug for awhile & I wouldn't give it up. She likes it because she said it fits her hands just right & it's hard to find a mug like that...so watch out if it turns up missing someday, hehehe!!! So I figured I better find her one & wow I found it at a Starbucks on the way back to Vegas from San Diego while we were on vacation in April & bought it right away for Sarah...now she won't take mine!
I made a daisy flower with leaves for this basket top. click here for tutorial
This was the first picnic basket I made & it ended up being too small - so this one will be used for a future gift. So I went back to my printer & printed up a larger scale basket to fit the cup...I forgot to fill the whole page with the template settings on my printer.
Flower was made using the SU Flower Daisies #2 die & stamping CS with a script background stamp click here to see the video tutorial on how to make these.

Hope you enjoyed today's post! Have a great day everyone!!!
Marc & Sarah's Honeymoon was an African Safari in January. They had so much fun & loved every moment! They said they had one of the best guides & took them all over the place. I only uploaded 45 pictures so I could give you a varity of the animals without boring you. The pictures are awesome! Enjoy!
Sorry it took so long to post this slide show, I know it's 5 months late but better late than never right? I finally got around to uploading the wedding & honeymoon Safari pictures yesterday in order to make the slide shows. I've posted the wedding one today & tomorrow I will post the African Safari slide show. I tried to select a few pictures from everything but it was so hard to narrow it down to somewhere between 35 to 40 pictures for each slide show...I didn't want to bore you with too many pictures. I had tons of pictures to sort through so I hope you enjoy.
