Happy Easter

Sometimes family gatherings are best when done on the fly.  This year we had alot going so a traditional family dinner was just not in the cards.

With my oldest moving, my husband on call, Stef and my youngest son working and a flight to catch for me......well it really was a challenge.  

Rather than miss out on celebrating, we decided to opt for a brunch on the waterfront in boston.  Truly a perfect choice as the weather was sunny and warm and the views spectacular.  If you are in the area be sure to stop in for brunch at Sam's at Louis as the food was wonderful. 

If you have been visiting my blog, you know how versatile my music taste is, from rap to jazz - i love it all! Lately my Ipod has been filled with James Blunt's {his concert was amazing} and Adele!  I have been unsuccessful so far in obtaining tickets to Adele.  BUT my son just moved across from the BOA pavillion so I may have to visit him that night and sit on his roof deck!

Honestly Adele's entire CD is so good -  my two favorites? -"Rolling in the deep" and "Someone like you"!

The lyrics and her voice are so powerful!

This girls is off - have a plane to catch!

Is this thing on?

I know, I know, I am sooo bad at updating my blog ....geesh. Everytime i post i vow to keep up with this little olde blog of mine and then my life gets all crazy and well i don't blog. I have to be honest though finding time to post a quick hello, or where i am teaching, or the "assistants" photos are sooo much quicker on Facebook. So if you want more frequent updates visit me there!  Updating to Facebook is so easy - most days I do it from my phone! 

Now onto some updating - shall we?

Lots of emails asking where i am and where i am going (concerns over my lack of blogging)?I have been home since Christmas {well other than two weeks in California in Jan/Feb}.  I have enjoyed my relaxing time with my family and friends!  The "assistants" are getting soo  big!   They love to watch Toy Story and Monsters, Inc, laughing when i recite a line or two {watched these way too many times}  In fact, they love Toy Story so much i bought them both a talking Woody - which they take to bed on their sleepover nights!  

Here are a few photos from this past weekend!

 

Braeden and Brody....

Serious Brody

Silly Braeden

These two are so fun to be with - they are still not talking much but they do sign to us...and i love that!  They have a whole life ahead to be chatty so i am fine with their twin language until then!

My time home is about to come to an end...i leave Easter night {after moving my oldest son to his new apt} for California for a few days.  I will be bouncing around between 7 states over the next few weeks - coming home for a few days at a time. 

Here are a few of the classes i will be teaching:

Birdhouse altered book is one of my newest dies from Accucut Craft!

I am using the new BG Curio collection with new Petaloo Flowers, May Arts Ribbons and Luminarte paints!

Butterfly Album is another die from Accucut Craft!
