it has been a looooong week. i don't think i've ever been this busy. and, lately everytime i say that, i get more busy. but, enough whinning already.
today's feature is the coastal culture specialty pad. on the page that i've created i'm using the UV paper but, my favorites are the flocked stripe and the foiled griffin.
this past weekend michael rode his blue schwinn (that he built himself) in the huntington beach 4th of july parade. you have no idea what an awesome experience this was for the both of us. he loves his bicycles and he enjoys building them. he seems like such a little boy again whenever he rides them. his love for bicycles started when he was about 6 years old. the bicycle he rode in the parade he started working on when he was 16 (he laced the tires that year). besides all the other amazing things he does, except for ebay (since he's so addicted) i think building bicycles is one of his strongest skills. i'm so proud of him.

Thanks for being there with me Renee! The Huntington Beach 4th of July Parade is the biggest West of the Mississippi, and if you missed it, try and check it out next year. It was a fun day.

OK, this page is AWESOME! It looks like so much fun -- but I really love the accordion album fold out that showcases all the other pictures!
