All You Need is Love


I will never forget our trip to Treasure Island Florida. It was beautiful and magical in so many ways. I got to thinking on several of my long walks along the beach with Ian, that this place wouldn't be nearly as magical or beautiful if it weren't for being with him. Sometimes, having his love, makes even doing the dishes beautiful and magical.
The Beatles were oh so wise when they wrote their song All You Need Is Love.
This was my First Florida project. I just loved this picture of us together so on my lunch hour I open up a blank 12x12 project and went to work. I love the colors,texture, and the symbolism with the puzzle pieces.

The Best Father's Day Gift

New Orleans is quite the city!!! I loved everything: the history rich city, the craziness of Bourbon Street, and especially the FOOD. I can't go wait to go back.
NOTE TO SELF: Remember to NEVER, EVER, book a hotel room with a balocony overlooking Boubon Street again. It was great for people watching but reaks havoc on sleep.

I made this book for my Dad for Fathers Day. I was thrilled by his reaction. He said "WOW! Sweetie." I don't get too many wow's from him when it comes to sentimental things so I was very happy to know he really liked it.
