Hurricane Sandy is gone!

Wow, these past two days have been something. Hurricane Sandy slowly made its way up the East coast making landfall at Atlantic City, shutting down everything including the casinos and NYC! Baltimore got heavy wind and rain, but thankfully my home stayed dry and the power stayed ON! I got 2 days off from work that I enjoyed although I'm afraid of what's waiting for me when I get back tomorrow. My kids are dancing because city schools are closed again tomorrow. A career in education is looking good for the snow & rain days alone. Just joking, being an educator is hard work! But back to the storm, I'm thankful it didn't hit Maryland as hard as it could have. Praying for those in NYC (my 2nd favorite place in the world) and NJ.

I did a little coloring with my sister's Prisma pencils I've borrowed. (Drea, I'll return them by Thanksgiving..lol) I'm still learning, they say practice makes perfect. I plan on getting some layouts done this weekend. I am so behind. I love Saturated Canary's digi stamps. here are a couple I worked on during the storm. Coloring is so relaxing, takes me back to my childhood. 

A Colorful Birthday

 I just celebrated my 45th birthday. I can't believe it! I feel pretty good for my age. Am I where I want to  be with my goals and dreams? No. Am I blessed to be alive and healthy with a life filled with family and friends that love and support me? Absolutely! I started my birthday off with an all day Color Me Crop, an awesome birthday gift from my bff Jenni. I learned some new techniques with coloring with Prisma pencils and I love it! Thanks Sandy for the class. I love going to crops because I am surrounded by a group of amazing, talented women who inspire me to expand my creativity. I loved coloring as a kid and still do. It's so relaxing. We had some cool digi stamps to play with.



This cutie was our project in Sandy's class.

This one is my practice girl, not bad, huh?
