Happy Belated Mother's Day to ALL the Amazing Moms I Know!!

This past weekend we moved my Mom into a suite a mere 10 minutes away from us ... I am excited to spend much more time hanging out with her.  I was out of town on Mother's Day this year, and as her birthday is on the 12th of May, I also missed it.  I had been working on altering a beautiful old black and white photo of her as a gift and just want to say I think she is beautiful - inside and out!  I love you Mom!

Mardi Gras Make Up - Another amazing project!

My daughter, Taylor, is definitely becoming a make-up "ARTIST"!

 Great job Taylor - so very proud of you!

Baby Shower For Stella Irene!

My daughter, Michelle, and her husband Corey have a beautiful new baby girl - Stella Irene!  Before her birthday, on May 9, we held a shower for them and the decor was inspired by the bedding fabric in the nursery of their new home.

So Much to Celebrate!

It is finally time for a much overdue update .... we have been very busy with birthdays, a graduation, anniversaries, and a new baby in the family!  At the end of March I went to Kamloops to help with my oldest daughter's (Michelle) baby shower.  We had a wonderful time with friends & family gathering to celebrate the impending birth of her little girl, her husband's (Corey) birthday, as well as a housewarming for their new home.  What a weekend!!  I had the opportunity to return to Kamloops a few weeks later to help prepare for Stella Irene's arrival on May 9, 2011.  My youngest daughter, Maya, turned 11 years old on May 11 and my mom, Dorothy, celebrated a birthday on May 12!  Michelle and Corey had their 1st wedding anniversary on May 23 and my sister & her husband (Leanne & Brent) had their 21st wedding anniversary on May 26.  May 29, my daughter, Taylor, graduated from the Global Make-up and Special Effects program at Blanche MacDonald & will be marking her 19th birthday on June 5th with a night out on the town with her friends.  My grandson, Evan, will be turning 1 on June 11th and we are busy planning another party!  This is what I live for - I am so blessed to have soooo much to celebrate!

Amazing MakeUp Application!

My daughter, Taylor, is about to graduate from Blanche Macdonald Makeup School and I just wanted to share a sample of her work - this is her interpretation of an Indian Elephant Bride - can you just imagine what she could do for a bride here in Canada!
