5. a plane
6. another dog
7. IV treatments
8. an FBO (the place private jets go at airports)

South Beach

One of the cool things about living near Miami is South Beach...very cool place to take pictures! But the down side is crazy drivers, no parking, and its expensive! But you have to see south beach at least once!

i take for granted

i take for granted to be a US citizen. I was born here. My friend Luisa was not, she was born in Columbia. We are both US citizens though. She became a citizen a couple months ago....but today she got her US passport in the mail. I was there to witness here jump up and down and screen when she got it. It's something i take for granted but it wanted to make me cry of happiness to see her be so exited to become something i was at birth.

In love with paper

Okay I am a paper lover...I always have been. But latley I've been gravitationg to chatterbox, scenic route, my minds eye and hambly.

Hambly is a new company that silk screens thier paper and overlays. I didn't have any until Luisa was nice enough to let me have a sheet to use for thier DT call. It was love at 1st sight! You dont get the full effect of this paper online you must see it live and in person!!!

jobs and trimmers

okay they have nothing to do with each other except they will both be discussed in this post! lol

I have to find a job. a part time silly job. why? well we need this stuff called food. They raised our rent by $200 so its time for me to get a job. It sucks bc I really hope we are only in S FL for a couple more months.

I not only need a new job but I need a new trimmer. I'm wanting a tonic guilotine trimmer....but it's $40...and well sicne food seems to be a prioity...the trimmer will have to wait...

Oh I will be posting soon about a cool sire were I will be selling some of my photography.
