What a beautiful day in Coral Gables yesterday! I was having lunch outside and I looked up and this was my view. I couldn’t resist snapping a photo.Last week was quite a whirlwind. We had visitors in town and a conference to attend. Chris had the chance to speak at MiamiBarCamp about his latest project TastyPlanner.  Here he is with his team, they developed the application in 48 hours and won a competition. It’s always good to have a side project. We also attended FOWA which was held for the first time in Miami. I actually stayed out on Friday night until 3am. I’m still in shock - LOLYou know how after you stay awake too late and then the next day you aren’t quite thinking straight? On Saturday, this little cat was sitting on our fence and Chris & I were talking about how much he looks like Midnight (our black cat, that’s him on the couch). I was out on the patio making dinner and Midnight wandered outside. I was totally confused and I thought Midnight was the other cat. Maybe some crafting would clear my head!My mission to create something with all 9,000 pieces of the QVC Cosmo Cricket kit continues. I am working on the cards. These are the first two. I am pleased. Of course everything is going to look cute, the papers are amazing!The photos are a little overexposed. I was in a hurry. So that’s it for today. I’m still trying to see something if someone is doing something cool with the CC kit. Linky please! Have an awesome Tuesday!

Today was about as perfect as it gets, above is the view as I was sitting on the back patio this afternoon. I got up early to meet my friend Kristy. I was thinking as I looked at my clock at 7am that I should be going diving. I was meeting her to do a community service project with my former coworkers at Royal Caribbean. It’s fun to get out on a Saturday and give back a little to our community. When I came home I decided to get my camera out and take of few shots of this beautiful day.Here is our friendly spider that hangs out in front of the house. He and Chris have an understanding that he will not build a web in front of the door and Chris will not kill him. Here’s our quaint little grovey front door.One of my favorite things about the grove is the landscape. Here are the palm trees in our yard and our new patio umbrella we purchased at home depot.KC and Midnight enjoyed the day too. They love to hang out on the patio. It’s funny because they smell so good after they have been outside for awhile. It’s like the air gets in their fur, it’s the best smell in the world. Well, I also love the way my skin smells after I’ve been to the beach.So as I was enjoying my day outside with the cats, where might Chris be???? HMMMMMM, let’s see. Wouldn’t you know it, he is taking a well deserved break from work, playing a little Quake 3. Thanks to our friend Bob who was recently in town, he reminded Chris what an awesome game Quake 3 is, so downloading happened soon after their visit.Well, now that my mom is totally wishing she was here instead of in snowy Ohio, I wanted to leave with the final photo of our cute little bell. Wish you were here!

 Have you seen these???? I’ve ordered some and I look longingly at my postman daily to see if they have arrived.  The possibilities are swirling around in my head. I haven’t been doing much in the way of crafting lately because we are gearing up for the big move which is scheduled for tomorrow morning.  I honestly can’t wait to get my craft space set up and have cozy evenings listening to music with my hubby, wonderful warm winter dinner parties on the patio with our friends, and sunny mornings sipping coffee while my cats lay in the sun.  It’s going to be FANTASTIC!! I won’t be missing the 2 hour one way commute, that is for sure!  I am feeling very creative and since I will be traveling for work in a week, I need to get cracking on my Valentine’s Day cards and projects.  I will hopefully share them with you soon!
