The weekend was incredibly relaxing. We headed out to Monterey early Friday morning, and it was definitely needed. The weather was nice and cool for a laid back hike along the California coast.


…and Maui and Hilo totally enjoyed livin’ the high life. They basically took over the whole hotel room. They sprawled and played all over the bed, couch, and even the shower.
Now, I see why we have to pay pet fees when we travel, haha!


Yesterday. we spent time with friends at the park. I even got to take some fun photos of them, which I plan on posting later this week.
Oh, and I drew a winner to the ABC giveaway. …and the winner is:

Congratulations! Please send me a message via the Contact page to claim your Imaginisce prize.
Lastly, I wanted to share a couple of layouts that I recently finished for My Paper Tree House‘s August kit. I’m pretty sure I mentioned this already, but it’s loaded with some beautiful Echo Park Paper and some fun exclusive items to the kit!

If you’re interested in picking up one of these kits, head on over to My Paper Tree House. These kits tend to sell out fast, so hurry while they’re still available.
Happy Monday!

Monterey! Oh, how nice! Lucky you guys, and lucky, lucky pups. Love your photos. I went to college at UCSC and I tried to pop over there whenever I could. So glad you had a nice weekend.
And how cute are your two layouts? I love the colors and papers of the Easter egg one. Those photos made me smile. And love the lacy strip on the girlfriends page. Fabulous photo arrangement, too.
Hope you have a wonderful day, Sarah!

Fantastic photos and pages! I see we have a mutual friend…Ms. Audrey Pettit! She and I live near each other and get together quite often. It’s so funny that she and I grew up in the Bay Area and went to neighboring high schools, but didn’t meet until here in NC.
Great you and your furry friends enjoyed your trip to Monterey! Such a gorgeous place!
