Hello everyone! Im back from the beach! I cant believe it came and went so FAST!!! I am already missing that fresh sea salt air! The weather was PERFECT and we had a fantastic girl weekend!
We hung out on the beach (wearing LOTS of sunscreen of course!), shopped, dined on yummy food, and went out for some local nightly entertainment.
It was the PERFECT start to my summer!
I collected several beautiful shells while on the beach. I'm particularly fond of these shiny thin shells.
Gazed out at the gorgeous ocean.
Moi.
Out of respect for my girlfriends I've decided not to post photos of us on the beach and by the pool. Last thing I would want to do is upset one of my girlfriends by posting a shot of them in their swimsuit. 😉 Im sure you ladies will understand.
This is me and the lovely and wonderful friend and hostess Deidra that invited us to her beach home.
Enjoying the sunset before a night out on the town.
One evening we had a fantastic dinner at Roy's at dined at the dessert bar. DELISH!!!
Cheers! Getting ready to taste my yummy chocolate martini.
Now that Im home and slowly coming off my vacation "high". I am back to work and super super busy preparing for Kim Caldwell's July Les Sirenes event.
I CANNOT wait to see my roomies! My big sassy, spunky and fun Barbie Doll Sis… Jessi and my cute as a kitten sweetheart of a friend Christine.
This is a sneak peek of something I am making for the event.
Later this September I am off to Minneapolis to be a part of The Creative Connection. It's a 3-day conference, crafting extravaganza and shopping emporium for creative women, women entrepreneurs and “mompreneurs”, created by Nancy Soriano and Jo Packham of WHERE WOMEN CREATE.
Eye Candy Creations will be a 3 day vendor! Whoo-hoo!
This is a tiny sneak peek of one of the many things I am creating to sell at the vendor market. More yummy photos to follow soon!
When you have time please check out both events. These are one's you wont want to miss!!!!
Alrighty you vampire fans! It's officially vampire season. hee! hee!
Hubby bought me the book Eclipse for Christmas, and I am finally making the time to read it now. It is my goal to read and finish the book before the movie comes out. Cant wait!

I am sure you girls a had a wonderful time, I love the Florida Beaches! It has been to long since I was there last. A bit jealous.. my vacation is going to be going to Utah to see Breezy and Miss Amelie and the soon to be born Baby Knox. I will be trying to hook up with some bloggers there. And I have been told there are a lot of Thrift and Antique Shops! Thanks for stopping over to my blog, I agree with you my favorite is the popcorn chenille. Yummy!! Hugs, Diane
P.S. Maybe in July when you are out here at Kims Event we can hook up I would love to meet you.
Jenn,
It looks like your weekend in FL was fabulous. It’s so great to just “get away” with the girls. Love the pictures of your toes in the sand! And your lovely beach shells. It must have been fun collecting shells on a beautiful day on the beach.
Just love your pretty mermaid. She is stunning!!

good grief. Can you tell me where you get your energy from? I love to visit you, because you are always full of a fabulous zest for life. I love seeing your creations, and am always impressed by your imagination.
So, whatever you have, can you bottle it and send some over?! I only have one little girl to look after, and I don’t even have half of your energy! :O)
Glad you had a good break, you are so glamorous on the beach too.

Looks like you had a WONDERFUL time Jenn! Nothing like sand and sun to make a girl feel refreshed. I love those pretty shells you collected.
I bet you are SO excited to go to The Creative Connection!
