I hope everyone had a wonderful Holiday and is enjoying the excitement of a new year and a new decade!
Now this is more like it!
Mary came over for a visit on Christmas day. She brought over her brothers' wonderful bourbon soaked fruit cake and I broke out the champagne.So here's toasting everyone for a wonderful and creative new year!
So you may be wondering where the heck I've been. We took a vacation to Captiva, FL. We really lucked on the weather and only had one cold and rainy day.
We rented a house on the gulf, which was decadent and wonderful.
Aren't these bed "skirts" cute? My daughter was delighted with her room.
Lovely birds-
Pretty shelling. I ended up with twice this amount. I'm thinking about trying a "sailors valentine" with them.
Famous Bubble Room cake, oh my. The red velvet is a family favorite and we also tried the buttermilk, brown sugar, orange cake, which I loved and want to try and recreate.
These sewn paper slippers were a compliment of the Tampa airport to use during the security check-in. I think they are so funny.
Santa brought me many wonderful gifts this year, including a new Apple Computer (yikes, no whining about learning new things). This was one of my favorite gifts. I can't wait to play it with my Cupcake girls!
Look how cute the pieces are.
I have a lot of blog reading to catch up on as the connection at the beach was not good.
There's no place like home~

Welcome home Barb! What a wonderful trip. Thanks for the great photos so we could all get a whiff of that salt air. I've never seen those "slippers" at an airport. Funny.
First I thought your top photo was of champagne and pizza! Cake and pizza are way at the top of my list.
Happy new year.

A toast to 2010! What a great vacation. It looks warmmmmm. I see a fantastic shell blog post in your future! I've been seeing a lot of shell encrusted bathrooms in the decorating mags. Quiltopoly - now that sounds like a fun game - she with the most fabric wins? I miss you.

I didn't know there was still a Bubble Room. There used to be one in Orlando and the Red Velvet Cake was outstanding!
Happy new year, it sure looks like you had a wonderful vacation.
cheers
