Weekend in Lafayette

Happy Tuesday! I am back and all rested after a fabulous weekend in Lafayette. Abby, Deidre and I found the perfect guy along the road for our picture.

We cropped non-stop for 4 days at Paula's weekend at the Ladybug Lodge. She is an amazing hostess and so much fun to be around.... her nickname is "sunshine"!

We all wore red tops for a group picture and dinner on Saturday evening.

Can you believe I only made three layouts? I was too busy visiting with everybody, shopping and teaching!!!
I used the new Graphic 45  Playtimes Past.

The branches are from Dusty Attic. I made a bunch of roses out of the same papers.

This one is also made with Graphic 45 collection called Once Upon A Spring Time and Dusty Attic laser cuts. Treasured Memories is selling this layout as a kit. You can contact Janet or Paula at (337) 534-4433 or at http://trmemories.com

I made this layout using Prima papers, a white doily and these fancy ladies from a new company Treasured Memories is carrying.

I had a great time teaching at Treasured Memories!!!

Tomorrow I will be posting some amazing work these ladies made during the weekend. Have a blessed day!

It's a new day in our family....

It's a new day in the Farquhar-Guzman family ... our son Danny was traded yesterday.  Yes, it sounds awful, doesn't it?  But it's not as bad as it sounds as he is doing great in his Baseball career.  Danny will now play for the Oakland Athletics instead of the Toronto Blue Jays.  The first thing he asked me was if I could work with his new team's colors - green and gold.  I said yes!  We wish him well and I pray the Lord's favor will be upon him all the days of his life.

 This is Danny and his wife Lexie during Arizona Fall League.

I got to play a little in Lafayette and I made this layout using the fabulous BoBunny's  Olivia Collection.

 These swirls are made out of light wood from a company based in Australia called Dusty Attic. Treasured Memories sells them so I stocked up on  several of their fabulous designs.

Life can change in an instant! Plans can be changed in a twinkling of an eye....I say to you and to myself  today:  make sure you do not take your loved ones for granted. Tell them how much you love them! Have a blessed and fabulous day!
