A Little R & R


This, my friends, is the view from my room in Oceanside, California over this past weekend!!!  The hubs and I took a little winter holiday to go play in the ocean.  Our room was A-MAZING and we had SOOOO much fun.  Unfortunately, I STILL don't have a cord for my camera (I swear I'm rectifying that tomorrow) so my pics are all taken with my phone.  The biggest problem I had there was I was having so much fun that I kept forgetting to plug in my phone to charge.  So there were a ton of shots I missed simply because my phone was dead.


One of the shots I'm glad I didn't miss was the pier.  The pier in Oceanside is sort of the focal point for the city.  It is an ENORMOUS pier that takes you quite a ways out into the ocean and at the end of the pier....... a restaurant!!!  We had lunch at the end of a pier our first day in Oceanside.  What a way to start a vacation!!!


And of course there was SOOOOO much that went on in between.... a visit to Carlsbad, a train ride to San Diego, pedal cab ride in Balboa Park.... so, so many photo ops got missed because my stupid phone was dead!!!  UGH!  But what a great ending!  A beautiful sunset walk on the beach with my honey!!!  To see some REALLY great pics of Oceanside that I found online click HERE!  At least SOMEONE took a good camera with them!!!

More Than Just Playtime

I hadn't realized until just recently what a blessing my "mostly stocked" craft room is.... honestly, that little space of heaven might really be saving my life!!!  Not a bad way to start off my new year!!! My husband and I recently met my sister and her husband for one of those "paint nights" where you meet at a bar, recreate a masterpiece and have a bit of fun.  When my husband asked my sister why she decided to plan this outing she explained that as part of her breast cancer recovery, her holistic doctor recommended she take up something artistic to help relieve stress.  She was quick to point out that I've always had paper crafting for stress relief and artistic expression and I realized that she was right!!!  When I sit down to work on a project, I can COMPLETELY lose myself... truly not a care in the world.  HUGE chunks of time can fly by unnoticed when I'm in the throes of creative inspiration, even if it is only recreating a masterpiece.... ...
