We took a drive out to Bear Lake in Milton, Florida on Tuesday afternoon. The weather was absolutely beautiful! And since we drove out there with all the windows down, I now have one very bright red burnt right arm. It looks rather funny :-) And it has reminded me of just how quickly my skin burns. I have had some bad sunburns in the past - ones that I would love to forget about, but I think they have also been burned into my mind. I'm talking about the kind that leaves purple skin & huge blisters. Ouch & ouch. My skin can handle about 30-40 minutes in the sun, and it then starts to turn pink/red. Yeah. Anyway - I snapped some beautiful pictures out on the lake! I was hoping to see an alligator, but none were seen. There is actually a sign there that alligators are present so no swimming or pets are allowed. Oh well. Maybe another day ;-)
I also wanted to make an announcement here that I am teaching an online class at Let's Capture Our Memories: http://www.letscaptureourmemories.com. I am teaching how to create an altered book similar to the one I created for the SYTYCS Competition that was held at the site. The owner of the site asked me to teach a class on how I completed the book & I was more than happy to do so :-) If you are interested in taking the class, just go to the website and register and it the classroom will be in the "Creativity Captured" Forum.
Also, one other quick announcement - as of April 1, 2010, I am no longer designing for Bad Girl's Kit Club.

I hope you all have a fantastic week! It's already half way over!

Cheers!
