Sparkling Embossing Paste

Embossing Paste and Decorative Masks!!
I finally had a chance to play with the Embossing Paste and Decorative Masks — WOW, so much fun.
I really could have played ALL night creating lots of different looks.
I’m still suffering from time zone differences and had to plan for class so I had a little design help from my sister, Tina.  This card was fun and if you look close you can see the sparkle, we added Dazzling Diamonds to the Embossing Paste.

I’m Back………

Did you miss me???
That was a long time away.  Sorry for no posts — I ran out of time to get everything done
so blog posts had to be slashed until I returned from Thailand.
I thought I would share a few pictures from our trip with you.

The resort was fabulous.  When we arrived at our room there was a wonderful sign on the door welcoming me.  It just makes you feel extra special.
SU Incentive Trip, Phuket, Thailand AngsanaThis was the entrance — beautiful shrubs.

SU Incentive Trip, Phuket, Thailand, Angsana, ElephantsThey had wonderful shrubs shaped like elephants.

SU Incentive Trip, Phuket, Thailand, AngsanaThis is a sign welcoming me to our room — so cute.

SU Incentive Trip, Phuket, Thailand, AngsanaThis view was outside our room door.

SU Incentive Trip, Phuket, Thailand, AngsanaThis is the view from our first floor balcony — we had a 2 story loft room — it was wonderful.

SU Incentive Trip, Phuket, Thailand, AngsanaThis was looking out between buildings.

SU Incentive Trip, Phuket, Thailand, Phuket Elephant SanctuaryWe went to the Phuket Elephant Sanctuary.
It was amazing — best thing we did.  I would so go back there again.
May have to do an Elephant Class to raise some funds to send over there.
Check it out — YES, I fed an elephant.

Then Tony and I stood between two elephants for a picture.
I was freaked out because they kept moving their trunks looking for food — yes I was holding a banana but was freaked out because she was so close.  We got one ok picture — the guide kept snapping pictures and I didn’t know it because I was trying to move away from the elephant.  Everyone was cracking up and here is one of our fabulous pictures.  I was told to #phuketelephantsanctuary (http://www.phuketelephantsanctuary.org)
so everyone could see this great pictures of the freaked out tourist.
It was awesome and I would do this again in a heart beat.

Time for bed — jet lag catching up to me.
More to share tomorrow.
