Archivers and a Little Pampering

So after dragging me out of the bed before daylight and taking Kristin and Kendall to school (Diva's DO NOT do carpools!) Mona promised me a trip to Archivers and a little pampering to make up for all of the UNdiva-like chores that she had subjected me to. Archivers helped make up for it! Wow - there was BLING everywhere!! A Diva's favorite! Stickles in every color, blingy embellies, and I got to sniff the new Basic Grey Christmas line "Figgy Pudding". Mmmmmmmm! After we did the carpool thing again (boy, does that get old fast!) We headed to the Salon for a new 'do. Kristin really knows how to make a Diva feel pampered! I could get used to this!

I Have Arrived in Texas!

I am in Houston, Texas at Monak2's house. I arrived just in time to celebrate Kendall's 4th birthday. I love birthday cake!! You know that birthday cake has no calories, right? Mona showed Dude and me where we will be staying. NICE! We have our own balcony and fireplace (although why they have a fireplace in Houston, I don't know!) It is so unfortunate that the last resident who lived here had some sort of tragic accident. But that is why it is available for us now!

Happy trails to you until we meet again

We didn’t have much time for scrapping, but Mindy and I did put this one page together. I like how the joint effort turned out.


I do hope I will be coming back to Utah again, because Mindy said there is so much more to see, that I had to miss this trip. I am intrigued to go to Salt Lake City, but maybe next time around.
Now I am off to see Lori!

A Wild West slideshow

Since my time with Mindy in Utah was short, she had a special photo shoot with me to show off my Wild West outfit.

I have never been to a Mormon Church before. But since there was nothing else to do around here on a Sunday, I went along. Mindy teaches a cute little class of 11 and 12 year olds.



They gave me the royal treatment and a little Book of Mormon, all my own, marked with their favorite scripture passages. Isn’t that sweet?

Yesterday was a great Diva day. We shopped and shopped and shopped for hours.




I got these sweet new boots, in honor of my trip to Utah. Mindy encouraged my wild west look.

The craziest store we went to was called Cabella’s. I asked Mindy why she would take me, a diva, to an outdoor/sporting good store, wasn't camping bad enough? But I will admit that once we got there I was highly impressed. I grabbed some postcards to share with you (since we didn’t take in the cameras). This is what the inside of the store looks like. Pretty neat, huh? That huge “mountain” in the middle of the store had all kinds of animals on it, and that aquarium had the biggest fish I had ever seen.

Now I need to put up my feet and rest.
