Yes - there was cake!

And ice cream too.  

It was our grandson, Charlie's 3rd birthday party in Brooklyn

on Saturday.  He does love his cake.  

Leftovers with ice cream today on his actual birthday.  

 

The theme this year was Cars - with

Lightning McQueen - Sally & Mater

 

He wears it well.

I'm ba-a-a-a-ck :)

Sorry I haven't posted anything for a while, 

but have a few things set up for this week :)

I've been a little busy and out of town.  

Spent almost two weeks in Brooklyn helping out 

with new grandson, Sam and his big brother, Charlie.  

Sam made his debut on Aug. 9th in record time.  

Went directly from there to Chicago to work with Margaret at the 

Sparkle N Sprinkle booth at the St. Charles Scrapbook Expo.  

We were joined by Karla McPeak

who is the sister of one of the SNS Design Team members.  

It was a fabulous show and we 

had so much fun that Karla will be helping us

 again in Kansas City in Oct.

Here are a couple of photos:

Stay tuned for actual cards to be posted!!!

A New York State of Mind

So, I created this brand new blog and then left town!   Spent the last week in Brooklyn visiting with Vicki & Steve and our grandson, Charlie having our early Christmas.  What fun we had.  Charlie is just chatting up a storm now and really enjoyed playing with his new toys.  We took him to see Santa at the ABC Carpet store in Union Square (a fabulous vintage, Norman Rockwell Santa) - went to gym class and music class with him.  Saw the windows on 5th Ave. and the tree at Rockefeller Center.   Here's a photo of Charlie with Santa...  he wasn't thrilled this year and shed a few tears, but managed to say "bye bye Santa" thru those tears as he was leaving.
