I had a fabulous time on my cruise but it sure is nice to be back home where my bedroom doesn't pitch up and down every night. Soaked up the sun, drank cappucino coladas, did a lot of sightseeing, and didn't really miss my sewing machine at all! Here are a few altered Barbies that were being sold as souvenirs at a 'flea market' in Acapulco. There was a fabric shop right across the street from the market but although I wandered through I didn't buy ... I am trying to keep to my promise to myself not to buy any more fabric. So far, so good!
Welcome home, Judi :)

I may have to adapt the look. What do you think? Is the world ready for a mermaid-y Kai? GLAD you're home! I missed you each day! Sounds as if you & Loren had a great time, tho', and I'm going to keep checking for details!

Posted by: kerry at February 28, 2007 1:31 AMOh the B's!!!!! They always show up when least expected.
Glad your back can't wait to see what inspirations you got while on Vacation.
Aw, come on! Surely you took better pictures on your trip than the tacky altered Barbies??? LOL! Like hunky bare chested native guys??

We had a nice time too, sis. And I too am glad to have a bed that isn't wandering back and forth all night. :-)

It sounds like you had a wonderful time on your trip.
I think it is funny where Barbies show up LOL
