IKEA wall stickers in Scrap Room

QUICK & EASY Design Tip
Love these realistic photo wall stickers from IKEA. They added a bit of color and fun to a very beige room. They came in packs of 3, for $12 bucks. I put the other single stem on an opposite wall.
They also had some bamboo photo stickers, which were very cool.
One of my favorite buys from my favorite store!

** Quick update :
I am completely artistically blocked. I can not get my scrappin MOJO on. I am so frustrated. I haven't loved any of the pages I have done and struggled through every one.

Mr and Mrs Aruba

I'd thought I post another photo from Aruba, notice the Balashi, Aruba's own beer.
We have a good story about the "snorkel hut". People would approach me as if I were a were another species and ask about my accent.
I am officially scrapbooking for the next 2 weeks. I'm dying to craft. Sometimes the scrapping part can be hard to do after a long day. Its not like some crafts where you can sit back on the sofa, like knitting or needlepoint.
My goal is to try to bust out some pages just for fun!

One Happy Island

Mike and I just returned from our first adult vacation to ARUBA. My mama graciously kept the children. We decided on the trip relatively last minute around the middle of Feb.
We booked a 5 night stay at the extremely reasonable Tamarjin/ Divi, an all inclusive resort.
Not a five star hotel, but clean, oceanfront rooms. We would snorkel from in front of our room to what I called "the Drinkin' Shack", chug a Balashi (the official beer of Aruba)then snorkel back. The nature of the all inclusive package encourages you to take full advantage of the alcohol and food..which we did.
We fell in love with Aruba. The island is safe, clean easy to get around. There weren't people pandering on the beach. The staff and every islander we met were friendly and helpful.
The drinking water is delicious, food was above average buffet food and hey had the best club sandwiches EVER!
It was a pleasure to have as our neighbors, Michele and Josh, the cutest couple from Boston. I hope to see them again if they ever travel south.
My favorite memory CASINO night. We had never gambled before. Our first stop was at Stellaris. I was disappointed when the slots machines did not have handles and instead of paying out with raining coins, you would get tickets. (kind of like chucky cheese) When I couldn't stand the $5.00 minimums on the table games we relocated.(yes I am cheap)
We later went to the Alahabro casino adjacent to our hotel and proceeded to the roulette table with, $2.00 minimum bets. More my style. I hit 00. Mike and I played $50 bucks for around 2 hours. My husband looked extremely hot anyway that night, but as he sat there at the roulette table smoking his Cuban cigar, giving me cash, he looked like Alec Baldwin.
I am so grateful for the opportunity to go, for my mom babysitting, for the business giving him time off.
I cant wait to go again. This time we will take mom and the children. (She will especially appreciate the all inclusive bar.
This photo was from casino night..will post a few more later.
