Life, Love and Heart

Hello again! There was a lull in my blogging. During this time, things in life happened. But, why I stopped writing (and a lot of other things in life) was the pain from the death of my mother. She was a BIG part of my heart and soul, and the heartache was hard to handle. But, my two beautiful kids + husband keep me smiling, and I want to share in life again -- and continue to put the pieces back together again. Life is short, and too precious to let it slip by! I'll continue to learn how to live and love to the fullest again!

Lighting in Mt. Vernon

The lighting of the monument was an awesome production. The mayor elect and his kids gave an 'eloquent' opening then they continued with the countdown. I happened to be standing in front of the speakers as his son yelled the numbers into the microphone. Here's the one picture I took since my battery was dying right when I arrived, but it turned out pretty nice.

Hampden Lights

The inlaws were in town this past weekend; we went to see the lights every night. It's quite an amazing sight!

Turkey Day

Here's a Holiday greeting my father-in-law was passing around, just thought I would share. Hope everyone had a Happy Turkey Day!

Scottsdale, AZ

I joined my hubby on his business trip to Arizona this week. I wish we got to get around more (ie. Grand Canyon), but mostly I went because he said we could get free golf. I never thought desert land would have such great golf. Now I know why everyone raves about how wonderful it is to play out there.


This is the front nine facing our Resort.

Collection

I used to collect everything back in the day, from mylar ballons, to banks, even dolls, but the easiest collection to transport back to Batimore was my pen collection. Here is one of them, but I'll bring them all into class next week. Happy Holidays!

Process

Don't forget about the Kitties and Doggies this year. This is the process on how do make a home made present for the ani-muls. Mmmmmm, they're going to be so happy!

I think it's great to be able to laugh at the ignorance around the world, Sasha Baron Cohen's sense of humor not only makes you laugh hysterically, but his humor brings new light to many touchy subjects that people often choose to ignore (as if they don't still exist).

Categorization Lancome

Lancome promotes that everyone should have Soleil Ultra Sun Care in their bag while highlighting other products they sell throughout categories.

It takes a little while to arrive at the main idea of the ad, but overall good use of categories to highlight many products at one time.
