Checkin' out the Mayan Wedding

Lori, I must admit this work is outstanding. I almost felt as though I was there. Loved the Trash the Dress. What a way to end the year, with your best work to date! Proud of ya, kid!

Hi. Just working away today and trying out some new things. Here is a video I created on a site called Animoto.

Oh, just found this link to a higher quality version on its own page. I love it!

Enjoy

Just chillin'

Just hanging out on my patio, enjoying the evening breeze. Maya is piling her toys on my laps in hopes that I'll throw one of them. Soon she'll give up and throw them for herself. When she shakes them "to death" and lets go they go flying across the room. :-)

Started taking down Xmas decorations. I will un-decorate the tree tomorrow.

I had 3 small family sessions this Xmas season. They were fun. I'll post some samples when I'm done working on them. Went to Cancun for one of them and stopped in a Home Depot. I need to go up there more often. Playa really is a small town and Cancun has so much more when it comes to stores.

Oh, my friend Aristi scheduled me a tarrot card reading as my Xmas gift. I will do that shortly. I'll be sure to go in a good mood, then I'm sure she'll tell me all good things!

Well, thats it. Bed time I guess.

Christmas in Mexico

Here's what I did Christmas day! Obviously I would have preferred to be with the family but this was a close 2nd place. I bought myself a necklace, and a henna tattoo. Merry Christmas to me! My holiday season has been very different but I was able to get into the spirit and make the best of it. It was great... and continues to be!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Years Y'all!!!

Well, now that the hype of Christmas is over, we start the new hype of New Years for a week. Gavin and I just booked our tickets for a NY party.....Las Vegas theme. Not sure how that will work out...seems a little outrageous for Dubai, but I guess we'll see what its like. We're going with the same Aussie friends that we had Christmas with. Should be a good time.

I was going to add some pics....but I'm having some techinical difficulties. Stay tuned.

Aaaw

Little Teva Beva! This seems to be a recurring post around Xmas time Mom! Teva is Santas little helper!

I am going to a friends place for xmas eve supper tomorrow. Thought I'd bring along some Nanaimo bars. After finding some interesting ingredients I attempted to make them tonight. I have to compromise on a few ingredients... so we'll see how it turns out ;-). Well, so far not so good. Attempt one, failed. Apparently I boiled it instead of stir on medium heat. I boiled the butter right out of the chocolate. They seperated and wouldn't mix again. Ah, live and learn. I didn't know that could happen. Hm.

So, tomorrow I will go buy more butter and try again! I was only on the 1st layer so didn't waste too much. Second layer should be interesting. Heehee.

Merry Xmas peeps. Keep in touch on the big day!

HELP!#!#!#!#

Do you think I need any more help?

Thanks Teva. I'm sure I couldn't have wrapped without you. Notice how crinkled the paper is....might I add by the time she was done it was also ripped and clawed.
