I just wanted to start by saying I am blown away
By all the sweet comments all you lovely gals left me..
My heart is singing with gratitude..

Also if it takes a little bit longer for me to
get around to you this week it's because I am out of town again!!

THANK YOU!!

I was really meant to live by the Ocean.
We escape here every chance we get..
I just love the quote that says
"If your lucky enough to live by the ocean your lucky enough"
One day I will be Lucky enough. Till then we will just keep visiting...
Well It's Tuesday which means it time for
City Crafters Challenge.
This week the sweet and talented Cheryl is our Hostess..
Can you guess what the theme is!!
Boo-tiful
It's a color challenge and all you have to use is
Black and Cream on your project. And it doesn't have to be
A Halloween card.. But I do have to say I really enjoy seeing all your
Halloween projects out there..
My sister is getting married at the end of this month so
I thought I would make her a card!!
I do think this will do!!
To see what all the other gals have come up with or just to get all the
Details on this challenge you can head on over to CCCB!
*****
I have something to share with you..
On Sunday my blog went MIA for quite a
few hours I guess.. I got some e-mails asking me what happened.
Blogger said there was some suspicious activity going on with my blog
and to just follow a few easy steps to get it back..
Then they said if that didn't work to
Sit down..
Take a deep Breath...
It's not the end of the world..
And then give them a call...
I have to admit I started LOL when I read that.
I really couldn't believe what I was reading.
Anyway as you can tell its back and running fine for now..
Lets just hope it stays that way!
Thank you again my sweet chickadees for all the love you show me..
I appreciate it sooooo much.
Hugs, Linda

ooh how I wish I lived next to the ocean too!
I'm a kindred "ocean" spirit. I have never heard that quote before, but it will certainly be ingrained in my memory now :). Enjoy your escape and your "lucky" time :)

GORGEOUS card, Linda! I love love love that photo. (I had a similar one when we were up high on a gondola showing happy feet of my family)! The card is so beautiful! I love the lace and stitching details! Glad that Blogger is back and hopefully no more problems with it!
Oh the card for your sis is Fabulous Linda!! I love the wonderful color combo and pretty layers. The saying is the MOST appropriate for a wedding card !! Girl soak up some of the fabulous ocean for me too its just way to dry here now :)
good lord! nice to know blogger's got a sense of humor - or reality or whatever! :)
Interesting that you live in the desert, but adore the ocean?? Lately Blogger has had many issues for so many of us! Your card is lovely and I know your sister will cherish the beauty and thought that went into this creation! Have a lovely ocean visit!
Beautiful card. Love that you focused on the cream with the smattering of black. Love the pictures too!
Good ole Blogger. ;)
I LOVE your card for your sister, Linda. It is dripping with vintage elegance!
Such a lovely card ... and I know your sister will adore this ... Have a lovely break and here's hoping blogger behaves!
kindred spirit here ... that ole stork dropped me off in the wrong geographical part of the country! But I make up for it with lots of visits to the beach!
So glad you had a chance to get to the beach, Linda, and that you get to go again soon!! Fabulous card--I love how you used black and cream for a really pretty and elegant creation. :)
What gorgeous photo's, Linda! I just knew you were gone again. Love your boo-tiful card. I know you are enjoying yourself so have a happy day.
I too love the ocean and would quite happily live by the sea. Your card is gorgeous, perfect for a wedding card. Enjoy your trip. Deb xxxxx
I think we will both be lucky enough one day right?
I love the ocean shot and I feel like driving to you right now!
What a sweet and pretty card for your sister, she is going to love it.
Talking about losing our blog, I had a scary night last week too, oh well, they just want to get any information they can get from us, I just type in my phone number in order to get a code to get my blog back, that's it. (blogger =scammer)
I can hear the sea, taste the salt and sniff the air,thank you for bringing it to me and for sharing your beautiful tag! Enjoy your break.x.x
Gorgeous photos. Whoever receives one of your cards is special indeed!
Oh my goodness Linda, this is truly one of your very best, and I am sure your sister will be absolutely thrilled to receive it.
Do enjoy every moment of your time away my friend!
I love your seascapes. Enjoy your break.
Very elegant black and cream card. Your sister is very lucky to get such this beautiful card.
Your card is beautiful, Linda. Love all the creamy goodness!
I think you need to take me along with you next trip...
Linda..while blogger was up to its mischief I must have missed all your latest posts!!...I need to catch up...I think maybe all of us desert girls have a yearning for the ocean at the same time...could it be mentalpause...one day I am going to ask you for that area that you go to...hope you will share. One day soon you know who is going to be old enough to go with!!
Oh dear LInda, I was over here once took a peek and said I'd be back, then got side tracked...after all, WE are getting old aren't we? I love those ocean shots, makes me feel like I'm right there with you. Also, your black and cream card looks wonderful, and I think your sister will truly love it! I know you're having a fun time, chat with you soon my friend!
I guess we're going to have to change your name to Oceana or something like that. LOL Beautiful photos. :-) They are always so crisp and clear.
Your card is a perfect example of Linda style. Lovely combination of papers, stitching, and a little "collage" touch. It's so pretty.
Have fun my friend! Hugs!
I'm so glad you're at the ocean, I'm so glad your blog is back and I'm so happy your sister is getting married! Lots of good news here. Have a wonderful time. xo
