$1.00 Pixels @ GP & Tasty Tuesdays!

Aloha!
Well I thought I'd try something new every Tuesday. Everyone knows my love to try something new to cook/bake. So I thought I'd come up w/ Tasty Tuesdays and share a new recipe with everyone. Since Valentine's is this weekend, I wanted to share an easy treat you can make with your kids or for that special someone. I got this from BettyCrocker.com. It's sweet and simple! So here's one to add to your recipe stash! It's a 5x7 Card. You can click on the photo for full size and save if you'd like to print.I made the card using FlavorFULL: Vanilla Pearadise by Tracy Reed. Which can be found HERE or in the full FlavorFULL Collection HERE.

It's $1.00 Pixels every Tuesday at Gottapixel. In my last post, I told y'all how I made the CT for Connie Prince/Digi Diva and she released a new kit today called Desperately Seeking Spring. It's in the store now and my LO has been chosen to showcase the kit. *YAY* You can check it out HERE. My LO is in the lower right corner in the previews. And here it is for a closer look:"Play"CREDITSUntil we meet again!

I've been featured! My first CT and *NEW* LOs

Aloha!
How was everyone's weekend? Ours was awesome! Saturday I took Tranquilino to his Gymboree class then right after we went to a family friend's birthday party. Well, Tranq has so much fun! I was suprised! He actually played musical chairs by himself. He said it was too hard! LOL So cute! I'll share photos when I get them uploaded. Then after the party, we took him BACK to Gymboree because they had a Parent's Night Out. They had 3 teachers to watch the kids from 5-8. It was great! I can't remember the last time Q and I had a "date night". I loved it! When it was time to pick Tranq up, he told us to go home and he was going to stay at "Gymbo". LOL He loves it there and the teachers are sooo awesome!

No, we didn't go to the Pro Bowl, but I was trying to take photos of the stadium "revamped" for the game and the tailgate area. But when we were driving by, we were too close and I had to take segmented photos. They did not turn out so great! LOL But I'm hoping they won't take stuff down tomorrow so I can try and take a couple more photos, since this is the last year the Pro Bowl will be in Hawaii. :o(

Well, I have exciting news! (For me anyways!) I have been featured as a gallery stand out at GottaPixel!!! My LO has been chosen to feature a designer's kit. You can check it out on the site's blog HERE. I will show the LO at the end of my post and you can click on it to get to my gallery. More great news, I applied for 2 designers' Creative Team (CT) and I made one of them! I was hoping I would! Connie Prince/Digi Diva is one of my FAVORITE designers! If you have a look see through my gallery, a lot of my LOs are w/ her kits. So here is a new blinkie I get to wear around the forums:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEVERLYYYYYYYYY!

Just wanted to wish one of my bestest girlfriends a very Happy Birthday! *muahz* I love and miss you sooo much Bev!This is for you:


and a li'l flashback...before we all became mamas! LOL I think we were playing around w/ Josh's phone cam. He was like the only person who had one at the time! HA! We are such dorks! It was when Kuya came back from his first deployment to Iraq. The second photo looks like the duck's eating your lip! (Dang I got a big forhead!) Remember these:



I love you! Hope you had a kick ass "23" Birthday! *wink* Here's a li'l hula for you because I know you love it oh so much!
Until we meet again!

FOBTY-SSD...pics & video!

Aloha!
I know it's been a couple days since I've last posted. Been a bit hectic over here. Well anywho, my post for today comes from SweetShoppeDesigns' blog. They are celebrating their 3rd Birthday and I've decided to join in a few contests/challenges to try and earn points and/or GC! LOL You can check out today's HERE.

So I am supposed to recall a favorite birthday memory. There's a couple, but I think the MOST memorable one has to be when Q actually celebrated my birthday and took me to my first Hawaiian Luau at Paradise Cove 2 years ago. He's not big on celebrating birthdays. He didn't even say Happy Birthday to me on my 25th birthday! Growing up, my parents always made us feel so special that it was our day. It was pretty much like a Birthday week. Receiving Birthday cards/presents from friends and relatives and what not.

So needless to say, I don't get much of a fanfare from dear ol' hubby! LOL Well, I received cards, phone calls, and even my Kuya (older brother) sent me flowers! (It was for Mother's Day/My Birthday). I came home and saw them on the kitchen table and thought Q actually did something sweet. Nope. They were from Kuya. LMBO! So I was a little hurt, but not showing it to Q or thought I didn't show him anyway. When he said to get lil man ready because he was going over to our friends' house for the evening. I was wondering, hmmm, he's not good at surprises, and I'm always snooping around if I suspect a surprise. So I thought he arranged something last minute because he saw how sad I was. So I just went along with it and kept asking him where are we going. He wouldn't tell me. I kept asking for hints and he still wouldn't tell me. I was getting very antsy and frustrated! LOL. We had only been in Oahu for a few months and he was driving to a side of the island I don't really go to, so I was COMPLETELY lost! (Nervous, because when we first moved here, we were lost for 3 hours and drove around the island!)

Come to find out, dear ol' hubs planned ahead and ordered Luau tickets to Paradise Cove. (I know he had to do this in advanced, he got military discount! And if you know me, I LOVE getting a discount!) He said I could have whatever I wanted that night. I was so touched!

My FAVORITE part was during dinner. Of course, they gave a shout out for my birthday, BUT Q got on stage and did the HULA! WOOHOO! It was a great night! He is sooooooo shy and normally he wouldn't have done it for me. He does NOT like a mass group of strangers staring at him. But he went up for me, on my birthday. *I think maybe he likes me just a little* Here's a couple BAD phone photos from the night:

Lei making a Lei! LOL (yeah yeah....corny....bleh...bleh...)

My Happy Birthday "Tattoo"
(It says Happy Birthday in Hawaiian-Hau`oli Lā Hānau)

End of the night, posing w/ the performers

Of course I've saved the BEST for last.....Q dancing the HULA! wahoo!Enjoy. Sorry for the sucky video! Peeps were walking in front of me and the other diners at my table kept bumping me! You might need some Dramamine to watch it! LOL


Until we meet again!

SUPERBOWL SUNDAY!

Aloha! While I'm not an avid Football fan, we are going to watch the Superbowl. And of course, I am cooking some goodies for today. I have both my crockpots a-brewing! One has BBQ ribs and the other has Swedish Meatballs. *MMM SARAP!* It smells mighty good over here. I'll also be making some mozzarella sticks, & french fries for the boy. Maybe I'll take a snaphot and scrap it for you all later! LOL Well, I'm off to check the crocks! I'll be back later with February's desktop and a link if you'd like to snag it!

Until we meet again!
