Weekend Projects!

Here is my first project.

I picked up this mail organizer the other day at a

garage sale for $0.50 and it just didn't match my color

scheme in my scrapbook room so I decided to get out the

black spray paint and go to town on it!

After:

I like the black finish much better:)

Here is a a little embellishment shelf  I had in my scrapbook

room that just didn't seem to match with everything else so I fixed

that with a little black spray paint!

After:

I got the little shelf listed below at a garage sale

for just a $1.00 and put it our bathroom.

Not a bad deal!

Happy Tuesday!

Honeymoon Pictures!

Well I finally have some honeymoon pictures for you!

Wedding pics will take a little longer we are waiting for our disc

from the photographer:(  Oh well I am sure they will be worth the wait!

Now I will have plenty to scrapbook!

Here is a picture of the airport we flew into.

I think this might be the smallest airport I have ever been to but it was very easy

to get to and from!

I just love all of the beautiful plantings that Sandals have on their properties.

This is the view as you enter the property.

Above is a view from our room!  I could get use to that every morning!

Me enjoying some sunshine:)

 

I thought this fruit display was so pretty!  I believe this was at breakfast.

This is my new house!  j/k :) 

We actually got invited to a special dinner at the Manager's house

and I couldn't help but to take a picture of it.  It was absolutely beautiful

inside and out, not to mention being right on the golf course!!!

The dinner was amazing and it was nice to venture off the resort.

Two years ago this resort hosted the "Big Break" golf challenge.

It was really neat to be able to play on the course where the show

was hosted! 

Here we are in front of the "Shark Shack"

This course was designed by Greg Norman "The Shark"!

I had to show you this picture..........

I hit this within 6 feet of the hole for a birdie!!!

Did I mention this hole is on the ocean!

I really liked this picture of us! 

Here is another view from one of the holes on the ocean!

This is definitely my favorite course I have ever  played at!

We had such a nice time here, I can't wait for our next vacation!!

I guess we better start saving:(

I would love to go to St. Lucia next year,

has anyone ever been?  If so did you enjoy it?

Happy Wednesday!

We're back from our Honeymoon!!!

Well we had a a blast at the wedding!! I can't tell you how happy

I am about how our wedding turned out!!  I can't wait to get some pictures uploaded to post for you!

Our Honeymoon was fantastic!  We went to.......................

It was such a beautiful resort!

I must say that I believe the golf was one of

my favorite things we did on our honeymoon, well

besides spending 7 days with my hubby:)

I will post some pictures of us in the next couple

of days but first I have to get back to my

Thank You cards!
