"Alone" Time

So today I had some quality "alone" time, since I didn't have to run any errands while the kids were at school. Ahhh... 2.25 hours without any distractions! I was finally able to work on and complete a layout that I'd had sitting ("in progress") on my work table for several months...

Supplies: cardstock (Bazzill, Target), patterned paper (Scenic Route - "Hampton"), diecut title, monogram and shapes (Quickutz), flowers and brads (Prima Marketing), border punch (Fiskars - Apron Lace), rhinestones (The Paper Studio), journaling tag (Creative Cafe), stamp (Joann's date stamp), white pen (Signo-Uniball), ink (Memories), heart clip (unknown), corner rounder (Marvy-Uchida)

This was Marika's first visit to the beach, I believe - we went to Kauai and visited Poipu Bay, which had a fantastic little inlet with no waves and shallow water. It was a beautiful day, especially considering that the island had been battered by heavy rain for 3 weeks prior!
