Remember just a few days ago when I did this post about my 45 favorite quotes and sayings and said it would soon be a mini book.  
Well here it is!

Using an acrylic album and the Work in Progress add on kit it 
was created in an evening.




The acrylic album was in a previous kit, and if you don't have one I just purchased my acrylic from Hobby...

Coming up soon my dear brother in law is moving to Florida.  It's a bittersweet though as we want him to do well and be successful with the opportunity he has and yet don't want him to leave all of us here in Ohio.  
 
I guess looking on the bright side it will get us to Florida/Disney a lot more often!

After washing and letting strawberries dry I dipped each strawberry in white chocolate and then into blue sugar that I picked up at JoAnn's.  So easy to make!

Looking forward to the holiday weekend, fireworks, parties and fun!

Today is my 45th birthday and I couldn't think of a better way to spend it then with my family on vacation on Hilton Head Island in South Carolina!

is how I would describe our Wednesday. 
We woke up early (5:20) to head down to the beach to watch the sunrise.

Then we headed into Savannah for the day


When we returned to the island we went to a couple shops and checked out the Stoney-Baynard ruins

then over the Aunt Childadas for dinner and back to the beach

So today was about the beach and the pool.  Starting our day at the beach, then heading over to the pool, went to the movies (the hangover for Joel and I and UP for the kids), then to Carrabba's for dinner and back to the beach at sunset.... another perfect day!
