Advice From an Old Cactus!

We stayed at Ocean Varadero El Patriarca, Cuba in 2015. There were some VERY OLD cacti there. We didn't get to see the oldest cactus there but this one was in the front of the resort and we got some pics of it.

Can't Touch This!

New Challenge blog, Yikes!!!!

I needed to start a new blog, yeah right!!! Well, it's a SCRAPBOOKING ONLY challenge!

It's called Scrapbooking ABCs With Dea.

I've just started scrapbooking after doing nothing for 5 years!! So, it's time to get back into it!!

I've gone through my pictures and have them on a disc to take to Walmart and get printed, so here I go!!

Hoping you will join me! If you haven't stopped scrapping and are going crazy with it, or if you HAVE stopped, now's the time to get going into it again!!!!!

Good day sunshine

I need to laugh, and when the sun is out

I've got something I can laugh about

I feel good, in a special way

I'm in love and it's a sunny day.
