Life is like a camera
Focus on what is important
Capture the good times
Develop the negatives
and if things don't work out.....
Just take another shot.

I had been wanting to see an iguana while out sight seeing our last day in Puerto Rico. In Iowa, we have lots of road kill, rabbits, possum, raccoon, you know. Here Iguana are road kill very often. We took a wrong turn down a narrow residential street and were in the process of turning around when out he came! He stood looking at the car for a little bit then went across the street and down some steps near a house. Page kit is "One Perfect Moment" by Lynn Griffin at Digital Scrap Boutique.

These little orchids were growing on a tree trunk in the tropical forest near the Camuy Caves south of Arecibo, Puerto Rico. They were about quarter size. Page kit is "Unforgettable" by Lynn Griffin at Digital Scrap Boutique.


I really love this photo of Rich during our trip to Cabo San Lucas in January, 2008. I used a freebie from Linda Cumberland. Her kits are beautiful and she is very generous with various freebies on her blog which is HERE. They will make you want all of her kits!

3/11/08 - Day #1 in Puerto Rico. On the way to pick up our rental car, the bus driver was quick to point out this iguana to us. He was perched on a tree branch next to Hertz Car Rental. He also explained how the iguanas get run over regularly by vehicles in the area. He said he tries to protect them by placing barriers so that they don't crawl under the fence onto the road. This page was made using "Warm Winter" by Lynn Griffin.


March 12, 2008 - Day #2 in Puerto Rico: My feet are almost as white as the sand here on Playa Sucia near Cabo Rojo lighthouse. The page is made from "Unforgettable" by Lynn Griffin.


Here's my two best friends, Maggie and Shelby at a BMX race in Phoenix in January. It was a "girls" weekend. We arrived 2 days before the race, traveled to the Grand Canyon and Sedona and had a wonderful time! This page was made from a kit by Doreen Stolz.
Here's another page of the dogs at the park. It was 60 degrees, the snow was melting and they thoroughly enjoyed playing in the standing water! I used Lynn Griffin's "Antique Elegance" again and it can be found HERE
