I love creating scrapbooks & crafting. It's a beautiful way to gift others as well as yourself. My sister calls it "soulful giving".
Zeus is keeping watch for his brothers in Tom's Place. . .will I get a snack too? (Uh, no.)
Uncle Gary on the left is the best, always cooking up fab dinners and smores. Most nights around the campfire.
Comfy trailer. 
LOL. Our space, cozy.
Luke & Frank did a hike on the own their own & took my camera for a few shots, you did good boys!
Kendry Morales & Howie Kendricks, I am enjoying the 2009 Season. 
Jared Weaver was the winning pitcher, Chone Figgins at third. JW doesn't know it yet but he is my future son-in-law. Do you hear that Sarah?
Sue, Luke & I were fortunate to score seats, SEVEN ROWS aside first base, Angels vs. Rangers. I could easily get used to the life of season ticket holders!
This little mermaid I carved in bad lighting watching the Angel's game last night with Lorin. Love those little bubbles I picked up at Micheal's. I have misplaced my weekly journal and am stubbornly hoping to find it so refuse to design a new one, so I am currently using a small 5 1/2 x 5 1/2. When I roll with a craft, I have tunnel vision. Even though I go about my day, under the surface I am thinking. . .what next?
Mostly ocean themed (it's still summertime!). . .a good one of my favorite coffee cup!
This mermaid is copied from my pearl pendant.
I have been wanting to create my own stamps for a few months! I've wanted to do ocean related stamps, first coral. Here's my first attempt done this evening, although I gouged the heck out of the carving block, I am so pleased to have my own signature coral stamp! I'm off to do more!
Our home away from home, August 11-19th. . .bliss. 
Georgianna and Olivia, cousins loved hanging with the boys.
Unending games of Speed, Password and Scrabble!
Frank and Lorin did a strenuous hike above Convict Lake, 16 miles total. Frank broke a slight sweat, Lorin got home and went to bed, smile. 
You beautiful boys with Zeus, our fearless one (NOT).
EIGHTEEN years this year, time indeed flies!
Frank, Noah and I sketched & enjoyed 24/7 downtime at Rock Creek.
It's all about HER. LOL. 
What I am appreciating is California shell picking. I've been a snob. After beach combing on Maui, I think no other shoreline offerings are good enough. . .but I find I have a delightful bag of goodies. At first glance you don't think you will find anything on the shore. . .a smart shell picker takes every opportunity to increase her stash, while loving the seaside. 
So proud. Luke made the 12 year old team with his Major coaches.
Noah made the 9/10 year old All Star team. What an awesome year for both boys! Our spring season was extended by making Corona American Little League's All Star teams. . .pretty darned special, these days of summer!
Aunty Vida. . .giving her neice back up!
Meet Kawai. . .
I heard the room was full of love & excitement. Kawai O' Nalu Jones, 7 pds. 3 oz.; photo with Godmother Emily Grace.

Lacette and her good friend Carmen, me. 
Watching these talented musicians is memorable. Coldplay gave free CD's of a recent live concert. . .
LOL. New wall hangings vs. new brick path being laid (just begun). Above are Her projects, below His. Okay, my Superhero wins. He builds in 100 degree weather, I craft in cool shade. It works for me!
The making of. . .yes, shell houses! LOL!
Lovely shell haven.
A new Sketch Journal! Came accross the wonderful artist Jennine, had an eyeful inspiring look of her simple format of journaling & adopted it immediately! I love designing in little spaces!
Funny sketches of our "Go To" items. Below is an incomplete project with shell houses I have begun. Which
