Strawberry Festival 2010

(My favorite Carnival junk food!!)

(Couldn't resist snapping a picture of these cute little bananas!!)

(The berries ~;o)

Finally got around to posting these pictures!! We went to the Strawberry Festival last week, on the last day of the festival. Don't go on the last day of any special fair or event friends, it was ridiculously crowded!! And for those of you shaking your head and thinking to yourself (rookie)....all I have to say to you is....."touche." Anyways, I was able to take lots of great pictures, the day was just beautiful!! Enjoy ~;o)

Pretty Scallops!!

New Gorgeous patterns and colors, now in THE SHOPPE!! I just LOVE the way these turned out!! All of my scallops can be made into squares, circles, ovals, and rectangles. I can also make them in any size up to 4 1/4 inches depending on your choice of shape. These lovely scallops are just perfect for scrapbooking, gift tags, jewelry cards, party banners, party picks, and so much more!! Wanna purchase a set? Visit: www.southernbliss.etsy.com

Happy Wednesday!!

What a perfect day for the park, beach and many other fun outdoor activities I could think of!! ~;o) Hope everyone is enjoying the SUNNY beautiful day out!!

A Day in Downtown, Tampa

(Lykes Gaslight Park in Downtown, Tampa)

(Details of the Cascading Fountain.)

(I didn't even know about this fountain, what a refreshing surprise it was!)

(City Hall Downtown, Tampa.)

(Taking a break for some yummy Gourmet Pizza!)

(Bumble Bee, enjoying the warm weather.)

We took my dad out for pizza this past weekend in Downtown, Tampa. And we stumbled across a bonus!! Apparently the Gasparilla Art Fest was going on ~;o) I didn't bother to try and get pics of the vendors at their booths because I wasn't in the mood to ask them if I could or for being rejected, yes that happens sometimes ~;o) But I did manage to snap a couple of pictures in Old Downtown Tampa for your enjoyment! For those of you who share a love of photography, there are some excellent points of interest! Just be sure to start early and be prepared to make a day of it!! Until next time ~:o)

Getting so Big!! ~:o)

My pretty baby is 6 months old now!! I can't believe how big she is getting!! And I can't begin to express how greatful and Blessed I am to be a mama to this happy and determined little one ~:o) She's my little princess, bumpkin, jellybean, and bumble bee just to name a few ~;o) Mama loves you Bella!

Spring Family Portraits 2010

Hi family and friends! Yesterday we went and had our first family portraits taken! So very exciting (at least for me) and overwhelming!! Getting them both to take pictures is like pulling teeth! Little Bumble Bee does not like having picture portraits taken. Being that I take my Digital SLR with just about every place we go to, you'd think she would be use to the camera by now, ha ha -- wishful thinking on my part ~;o) What a struggle we had!! But, here they are, and all in all I am very satisfied with them ~:o) To view the whole portrait session, visit me at facebook, until next time darlings ~;o)
