Rock Climbing-Melanie

  The Scrap Our Stash blog provides the inspiration and my supply of scrapping supplies are put to good use! The challenge here was to use different items.  I chose to use ribbon, sequins, journal card and numbers. You can see the numbers in the Day Pass sticker.  This is Melanie on her trip to Joshua Tree doing some rock climbing!

A trip to Joshua to try out some rock climbing! 

Fun at Kelsey See Winery with good friends - the Horaceks and the Sharps!  Just a stop on one of our frequent trips up to the Central Coast! 

Central Coast Winery Visits

Spring break of 2014 found us heading up to one of our favorite spots in California.  We headed up the coast with Ron and Sharon and met up with Brenda and Steve for a few days of visiting and enjoying the great wines of the area.  Thanks to another blogsite, "Scrap our Stash," for the inspiration - designed by Brenda Ragsdale.  I used my Close to My Heart Pathfinding kit and embellishments I know I have had for years!  

Family Traditions

My favorite holiday is Thanksgiving!  I love cooking the meal and sharing it with family and friends!  We had a full house of Jenkins',  Boroquez's,  Gavigan's, Taquino's and of course my mom and Auntie Ro.  I am looking forward to Thanksgiving 2014!  Who wants to come?

Diane and Paula 2013

Paula and I have been friends for almost 35 years!  She is one of my sisters from another mister!  We have gone through so much together.  This past summer, we were able to spend time together .  What began as an almost sad period, ended up being a story with a happy ending.  I love you Paula!

Upland High School Drill Team

One of my favorite activities in high school was being a member of the drill team!  It was exciting as a parent to participate as a parent when Heather was a member!  Some of the differences were she participated in field shows, where we had parades.  I can still remember our routine.  Great fun and wonderful memories for the both of us!

Family and Friends - Wedding Guests

Tonight, on this layout are pictures of family members and friends in attendance.  More smiling faces! I am so happy that we were able to all share in the happiness of their day!

More Wedding Day Happiness

I will be sharing photos of some of the family and friends in attendance for the next couple of days.  Here we have Brenna and the Best Man ( sorry but I don't remember your name). It was a beautiful wedding site, the perfect place for Heather and Alex to begin their life together !

Wedding Day Smiles, page two

Here is the second page of the "Wedding Day Smiles,". I wish I had more pictures of everyone who was there!  I don't think there is one of me. Lol!   Look at that mustache on Michael!
