About Me

My photo
I was motivated to start a blog by reading all the wonderful talented individual's who have blogs out there. So, I want to make this blog about everyone who reads it. My family and God always comes first in my life. I want to share my experiences and in turn, hope to get feedback and ideas from you. I love unique things, I adore anything that sparkles (not over the top though) I love decorating, cooking, gardening, photography and shopping. My number one passion is photography! To me it becomes more than a picture, it can become a piece of art, or a beautiful memory. Decorating, though I am not a professional, and don't claim to be, has been a part of my life since I was very young, and just love searching and shopping for new ideas and incorporate the old, such as Mid-Century Modern and Hollywood Regency with contemporary. Living close to the Gulf of Mexico in Florida, and being of Hispanic heritage, I love cooking Mexican food, and love to share my authentic recipes. Though I live in Florida, my heart is in the desert southwest, and hope that my family and I will return there very soon…keep your fingers crossed that my prayers are answered SOON!!!

Shopping Day....



Today is our big Christmas Shopping Day, just for me and my daughter.  We are heading out for the whole day and will not stop until we are done!!!  All the presents for those out-of-state are sent, and now it's time just to enjoy the day.  Though it is suppose to be 70 degrees today, it has been raining all morning and will continue throughout the day, and in no way will it reach 70 today.  But, since we don't get the snow, I guess this makes for a nice comfy day.  Last evening I purchased all my chocolate, cake mixes, lollipop sticks, wrap and ribbon, so if, just by chance, we get home early we will begin to make our "cake pops", if not....tomorrow.  Well...we're off, wish me luck....

    Yes, it was a wet, dreary one today but a perfect day to get all those things done...

    Still overcast and drizzly today, but this won't dampen our holiday spirit in the Sunshine State!

    I wanted to be sure to stop by and wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas, now what time will that cake be ready?

    Becky...yesterday was so much fun finishing all our shopping, but exhausting at the same time. Loving this Florida weather. Today, really cold and rainy off and on. As, I've said, we can't get the snow, but the deary sort of weather, makes on want to stay in, wrap gifts, and bake...with of course, some taste testing along the way.

    This is hoping you have a Merry CHRISTmas...

    Hi Joni, I hope you had a great day shopping. It was almost 80 degrees here yesterday, but we got a major cold front last night.

    Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas! Health and happiness for the new year.

    :)
