Back to reality

HOLA SWEET CHEEKS.

I have returned to the real world=0)

We were in northern California for a whole week visiting friends and family.

Okay...let me just tell you...we had a great time.

First thing I did was to visit my favorite bakery and get a BIG OL' burnt almond cake.

YUM. If you are EVER in San Jose...YOU MUST. They even sell it by the slice, if you want a nibble.

I got to catch up in person with some of my closest girlfriends and you know how good that is for the soul. LOVE all the laughs and sisterhood.

We also did A LOT of swimming and we went up to San Francisco for a day. It was totally freezing, but the aquarium and lunch was fantastic.

 I did get a chance to sketch a little on the plane and I thought I'd give you a little peek. 

I'm starting to think up my new designs for my compact mirrors. Is there anything special you'd like to see? Let me know=0)

Have a SUNNY day,

My other job....

X-This is the worst idea ever and I will NOT have ANY fun.

3 HOURS LATER

X-So I guess you guys were right ONCE AGAIN.

Me-Next time, just be open to try new things.

X-That may be the time you are SO wrong.

Magical garden

HAPPY MONDAY.

I'm hoping you had a nice weekend.

 It was so beautiful here and it was REALLY time to clean up the garden. It always amazes me how quickly weeds can take over. Our little gnome was in desperate need of a bubble bath=0)

After spending so much time outside I was inspired. 

I would love a magical garden that was always filled with blooms.

A quick getaway for a cup of tea and a scone. Mmmmmmmm.

What will you plant this year? I think I'm going to add some more hydrangeas. The 10th time is a charm...right?!

My other job....

X-Who wants to play handball? Who wants to play handball? Who wants to play handball? Mom?

Me-Ughhhhh. I just ate lunch. Gimme five minutes to let it settle.

X-Come on Mom.

Me-In five minutes sweetie.

X-OH my gosh...I'M SO LONELY.

Me-I'm still standing right here.

X-Oh...Are you ready to play now?!!!!

Me-It's only been like 20 seconds.

X-LETS DO THIS.

Smell the flowers

I'm excited to show you my new Spring earrings. This is an oldie but goodie. I changed the pendant style, so you could see the painting better. I hope these add a POP of color to your outfit=0)

Now available in my shop.
