6 Grade Camp

My Daughter Julia is @ 6 grade camp.
Her teacher Mr.Marsh took this picture and posted it on face book.
Julia is the girl with the big smile and hair in her food.
At 47,I still have fond memories of camp. I hope she is experiencing the same fond memories.
My friend Lynn and I were in the same cabin and with face book connected again.
I do have a confession. I wanted to be a nun until 6 grade camp.
Nothing "weird" happened yet having that new found freedom and interaction with "boys"
-I realized, the monastery was not for me. Go figure.
What is your memory of camp?

Scentsy -Wickless Candles

My friend Tanya is a new Scentsy Consultant. I have to admit I had never heard of Scentsy- a safe,wickless alternative to scented candles.
I quickly learned of the Scentsy Mission:
To bring value to the world by providing an industry-leading,family-friendly business opportunity,selling creative,artistic,high quality products that Warm the heart,Enliven the Senses,and inspire the Soul.  

With my busy scedule and finals coming up I had 3 options, a Home Party,Basket Party and/or Open House Party. I opted for the Basket Party so I could take the Party with me to work,school, Julia's Basket Ball game and Youth Group. The basket was easy to transport and came complete with samples,brochures and order forms. The samples smell so good! The names are wondferfully creative.

Grandma Lupe & Daughter Mary

 Rey did a write up of Grandma Lupe's tamales here: Rey's Tamale Page 

Wanted to share pictures of  Aunt Crispina's Back yard in lovely Jamul,CA.  The weather was beautiful. We celebrated Grandma Lupe's 80th Birthday. Grandma Lupe has been featured on the Food Network for her famous tamales. I have personally seen people wait hours  at the Indio Tamale Festival to purchase her legendary tamales.   Mary, one of Grandma's Lupe's daughters, is my Yard Sale partner in crime.

Here are some pictures I took before I left......

Recycled Rubber Tire Purse???

Have you ever seen a purse made out of old tires? I didn't notice it until the seller mentioned it. My pictures don't give it justice. The purse is really cute.The logo states " Greater Good" El Salvador.
I googled when I arrived home and found there's all types of recycled rubber tire items.

Fashion Sketching By Patricia L. Rowe

 I love old books on fashion so when I came across Patricia L. Rowe's
"Shorthand Fashion Sketching"  ...I had to get it!

There's an Introduction written in 1959 from Rowe while living in Captiva,Florida. She explains how the pages of the book is designed to teach in the quickest possible time, by the shortest possible method, how to sketch fashions in the most practical way.
Lessons include The Basic Fashion Figure-Front, Three Quarter View and Smaller Size. Section II describes The Figure in Motion. Other sections include, Basic fashions from blouses and necklines ,collars,sleeves,basic skirts to hemlines,hats and coats. It concludes with fabrics,textures and patterns,techniques in pen,brush and pencil. I loves the historic costume section. Take a peek........
