NEWS!!!

Wow, I can't believe I let this much time lapse between posts.  Lots has been going on though! Hubby and I went to San Francisco late January for Macworld/iWorld. I LOVE going to Macworld! This year was even better with the 45 minute "Tech Talks"...I went to about 6 of them total. Mostly on photography, either with the camera or iPhone. Got some GREAT tips, and have been using my iPhone 4S to take lots of pictures!
Now the really exciting news is that we have a new Grandson coming any DAY!!! Can't WAIT to meet the new little man in our life! (Youngest Daughter is a happy mommy to be)

The Hubs is gone this week, taking some Apple Certification training. YAY him! He just called me and told me he passed the first section with flying colors.

Oldest Daughter is doing GREAT in RT School too!

Life is Happy right now!

Wow, just with the blink of an eye 2011 is over, and January is nearly half over! Exciting things will be happening around here! Hubby and I are going to Macworld, then next month our youngest daughter will be having her first baby- a Boy! That will make THREE Grandkids! Yee Haw!!!  Can't wait to hold that little darlin' in my arms...

Fun things with the nail design going on too...Another fabulous design by my Nail Guy! He used OPI nail colors... Yodel me on my cell, That's Berry Darling, and Purple with a Purpose. Also white and black paint, and silver glitter striping stuff, and some clear jewels. Thanks, Nail Guy!

Christmas Nails 2011

Pretty, aren't they? My oldest daughter has a set of discs from "Bundle Monster". Nail Art Stamping is becoming the rage. This was the first time she stamped on someone elses nails. I've received several comments on how great they look!

What? STILL no snow???

What is wrong with this picture?  OK so there is no picture, but you know what I mean. We have NO SNOW.  It's just not Christmas without a blanket of snow on the ground! This is one of the weirdest Christmas's in years!  Oh believe me, it's sure cold enough outside, but HEY, we NEED some snow around here. PRONTO!
