a few things, oh and WhAleS...

Now onto other business- like the fact that I was 15 feet away from a pod of gray whales and a humpback whale and her baby!We got to sit in a tiny little panga right next them and be in absolute awe as we watched them move effortlessly through the water. We also got to swim with sea lions, observe a TON of sharks in the warm shallows getting ready to mate and  see hundreds of dolphins jumping playfully through the air all that among the zip lines, great food,  snorkeling & relaxing on the most beautiful beaches with good friends- ah it was heaven! 

Here are a few picts 



Home sweet home!


This is the house we stayed in

and that is our beach right below- there was hardly any one there it was really "our" beach



the largest yacht in north america was docked next to us- equipped with a helicopter and all-
 it was pretty amazing!




 GREAT food!


 Cam climbed the tree and fetched us a few coconuts to drink!


 Aimee didn't love the fish and Mike ate it's eyeball...

Zip line! {isn't he hot} :)


free swing

Snorkeling

And yes we really were THAT close- amazing!!!



It was a Smashing good time!

Cupcakes make me happy..


Happy 2012! Whimsy is having our semi annual mini sale! 
Buy 2 dozen GET 2 dozen FREE ( same flavor).
Any order placed and paid for through Jan 31st will get this lovely treat. 
 You can make the order for another date, but you need to place the order and pay in advance to get it-
sorry I know that is a pain but it helps people remember they ordered cupcakes :).
Certain days we will only do so many and some days are already booked to the max

we will only do so many a day because we don't like baking all day every  :) 
Get them while you can!
Happy Winter!!!

Your Welcome :)
Enjoy!!!

learn to make a Girly Ruffle Bed Skirt


Hey guys Sorry I have slacked on this blog quite a bit- crazy holidays!! It doesn't help that I have had the flu- it was a killer but quick with a lot of help from my magic moon tonic :) and of course my sweet hubby and mom and sis!
Here is a fun ruffle bed skirt tutorial from little cherry blossoms! She has a lot of other fun ones on there too and a giveaway right after this post so check them out- HERE I am working on some vintage sweater and lace legs and lace boot cuffs for little cherry blossoms this week so go stock up for Christmas! They are my favorite accessory to put on indie and so fun on the older girls- they add so much to any little dress or skirt or leggings! For those out of area I don't think I will be able to add more before Christmas to my Etsy store- sorry they seem to get sold before I can add them- if you are in dire need email me and I will see what I can do! :)

here's a look at some grey marl ones for LCB...




Have a great week!
