CELEBRATING SUMMER STEP CARD

I took a week off from work to be with my kids and took them to the beach and to different places before they are back to school.  For my surprise my youngest kid became sick and was hospitalized the whole week.  While at the hospital I finished this card that represents what I was planning to do this last week of their summer vacations.  I hope you like it.

Hi, I will be "out of service" for a few weeks because I have to prepare a hundred invitations for a 50th birthday party.  I have to work late at night because I have a regular job as a legal-secretary, and then as a mom.  I will be posting the invitation soon and the drafts I made for it.  Thanks for visiting.

VINTAGE LAYOUT

Hi, this is a very special layout for me because it's the only photo I have with both my parents when I was a baby.  It is quite deteriorated, but I love it. 

Sorry about the light reflection, but I took

the photo late at night and couldn't  get the

right angle.  I hope that you can still appreciate the layout.
