I've been busy prepping for the above classes and A Muse-a-Palooza!

I am positively *giddy*  over how all the designs have turned out and can't wait for class to share 'em!  GOOD TIMES!!!

Snorkel Boy and the waterline . . .

So glad so many of you are enjoying this COW in the A Muse Newsletter this week!

I've received a few questions about exactly HOW I masked off the waterline, so I snapped a few quick shots--these aren't the best shots, and the quality of sponging is pretty poor on the example shots--I'm kinda swamped.  But, they should give you a self-explanatory visual.

 

The Party's Started!

A Muse News: A-MUSE-A-PALOOZA 2009!.

Oh, lolly! The fun's begun!

 

A "nauti" hello . . . *wink*

I was inspired the other day by these, to make this nautical design! *chuckle* Exudes summer and the island I live on, no?!

I omitted the sunshine on the sailboat when I inked it up for fresh white sails effect!  LOVE how this turned out!

Happy sailing to you this week! *grin*

Stamp Out Breast Cancer @ I'm Impressed, Vancouver BC

Raya, owner of I'm Impressed, organized a fabulous Stamp Out Breast Cancer event!  We got these super fun flip flops when we first arrived.  Raya is a fun gal--I will always think of her when I wear 'em!   I flopped down on the bed and flipped my feet in the air to take this shot cuz the tile flooring and little area rug were much too distracting a background to show 'em off.  LOL!

In support of a most excellent cause, I hope this event continues to grow even bigger and better each year!!!

Eleonor, Raya, me, and Consuelo

Consuelo is a survivor herself--my MIL is, too!  Remember to take care of yourselves, my women friends and get checked REGULARLY!!!

A few pics from the classes!  Look how industrious these chicks all are!  YAY!!!

Teresa and Olivia are always there to encourage my rogue stamper tendencies . . . LOL!

This was the view at dusk outside my window--so pretty!  I could smell all the yummy stuff they were servin' out on the restaurant's deck area and hear glasses clinkin' among the laughter of folks enjoying dinner.

I'm all about the food.  Always.  Every trip I take, I'm all about the food.  Luckily for me, Eleonor is, too!!!  ROTFLMBO!!!!!!  Some ladies at another table were probably baffled at how much fun we had taking PICS of the food before we dug in.  But, we didn't care!  And, these food shots are actually Eleonor's--she sent 'em to me to share.  I think she could be a photographer for one of those foody mags!!!  Girl's got skillzzzzz.  Well, and a most excellent camera, too.  Dang.  Must get me a magic camera like that.

Last, but certainly not least, we *had* to have some girly 'tinis!  Eleonor had a raspberry sumpin' sumpin' and I had a blueberry sumpin' sumpin', and they were so de•lish!!!

Just wanted to share some of the fun, some of the lovely people I got to meet and super sweet friends I got to see once again--always GOOD TIMES!!!

Janet, thank you for the truffles--they are *so* yummy!   The boys saw the box  . . . so, I had to share.  *curses*  But, that's prolly a good thing for my butt.  BAH HAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!
