So, I'm finally playing catchup after my big BLOG LIFT (do you like it by the way?? he he - I finally got everything juuuust the way I like it), so I thought I'd play along.
First up....I received this super cute Blog Award from mi amiga Paula in Buenos Aires. Paula and I met a long long time ago on another small message board. She and I, along with so many others from across the country, with an Italian, a German and a Laotian, all became very close knit. Although the site didn't survive due to changes in policy and ownership, we all thankfully have remained in contact. It was a blessing that Paula and I got to meet in person here in Los Angeles, CA when she and her family came here to Disney for vacation. Paula coordinated her vacation dates with my scrap weekend retreat that I was running at the time, and many of us, from that small message board that I had mentioned before, got to meet Paula and her family and took her shopping to all of our amazing lss' as well as to Michaels and Joann's. Here are some pics of Paula and her family that I still cherish from her visit. Muchisimas Gracias por la regla mi amiga!!
