Facelift....

My bestie Monica updated my blog. She has the patience for HTML codes and all that crap. No way would I be able to arrange everything on here without pulling my hair out. Thanks friend!! love ya!

My header is from the Wonderful Cassandra!!! She offers it free on her site. Check her out here. She is too nice to offer this. Thanks girl. I joined her Marie Group and let me say WOW!! such talent from all the ladies on that site. I have already joined in on two swaps. An altered envelope swap and ATC swap. Such fun!!

On a sadder little note my poor baby had an abscessed tooth and had to have a baby root canal. Needless to say I haven't been sleeping and Starbucks has been a necessity to make it through the day. You mommies ever feel like that when your child is sick kinda helpless? I wish I could take her pain away. She has slept with me and the hubby the past two nights. Where she will remain till she is all better. She got it fixed but then started complaining about the bottom tooth now. So we are heading back at 1pm to get that checked out. Cross your fingers. Talk to you all later.

(((((((UPDATE))))))))
My girlis ok. The pain on the lower tooth is because a new tooth is coming in. So she still may need it extracted but at least no infection. Yay mama, can sleep tonight.

Hugs, Maria

New Logo!

I bought this image off of Etsy. I think it is perfect for ME! Have a great weekend. I plan on watching my beloved Lakers kick some butt!!

Shooping goodies!

A few items I picked up this weekend.

This is my fav purchase from the whole weekend. I saw this when I was in Temecula but let it get away. That is till Mary brought it back with her. I had to have it. Coach smoach, look what i'm carrying..hehe! I will have the best purse at the lake this summer.

Some great vintage wrapping paper. Love the little ladies on the print.

Oh yes, some new hip Embroidery patterns. Got these at Domestic Bliss.

And some great scrapbook supplies from Mystic Paper. TTFN...

Bohemian Bliss!

WOW!! what a great weekend. A few pics from the weekend.




Me and the wonderful Mary of Sweetpeas and Snapshots!! Everytime I see this girl it gets better and better. She is so kind and funny as heck.

Me and my girl Tricia. She so pulled a fast one on me. She made Ceviche. YUMMY!!! This is my favorite mexican seafood dish. Oh no you didn't! HEHE!! I got to see the wonderful Maija, Deb and Sherry and Joy too. But I was talking too much I forgot to take photos. Great event. I hope they have one every year. TTFN... More to come. I will show you what I bought tomorrow.

What a wonderful day...

Yesterday was just perfect. My hubby set up brunch for us at Skye Lounge in Peoria. Just beautiful. Shrimp the size of my hand and prime rib. Champagne..mmmm yummy! Then the girls and him surprised me with this lovely ring. Aren't they just too sweet. Guess I was a good mommy this year..hehe!! We spent the rest of the day at home relaxing. A perfect day I tell ya. I hope you all had a wonderful Mother's Day!


I'm busy getting my outfit together for the Bohemian Bliss Soiree. The only thing I need is some cowboy boots. I need to scour a few more thrift stores before I go to plan b. That is some blinged out sandals. Which just might be more comfortable than boots. I will keep ya posted. As soon as my outfit is all together I will share some photos. TTFN...

More of Temecula!!

As promised more photos. No words needed. The pictures speak for themselves.
