We just returned home from our much anticipated vacation to Grand Cayman. We have been here many times before and knew what to expect, but this place gets better and better each time we go. It is the best place to snorkel and dive with the clearest waters in the world. The above picture is from Rum Point Beach. Just beautiful.

Of course you have to visit Hell while there. Tourist trap but nonetheless you can say “I have been to Hell!” I’m the devil on the left and hubby is on the right Just some really old burnt limestone. It was a fun little stop and we sent postcards to our family from “Hell”

We spent the entire week face down in the water “snorkeling” which is what we set out to do! So many awesome spots to snorkel especially Eden Rock and the Wreck of the Cali, and Cemetery Reef. Oh and all free sights which was great since everything else on the island was so costly!

The Below pictures were taken with my new underwater digital camera the Sealife “Ecoshot” You just never get good underwater pictures with those throw away cameras and whats a few more bucks when you spend this much on a trip to the Caribbean! We took tons of awesome underwater shots but only hubby and I will enjoy viewing all the fishies. I probably didnt eveb choose teh best sample to dispaly below but it is what it is…BELOW: top left was a HUGE turtle we swam with at Cemetery reef, the Sting ray on the top right is from Sting Ray city, and the fishes on the bottom right are surrounded by frozen peas- we were told they were used to being fed and were very friendly. I FREAKED out because we were swarmed and they were slapping against me and they were big and hungry- and too friendly for me! (Hence the bagful of peas)

I loved Sting Ray City /Sand bar! Hard to believe these things could actually kill because they were just so soft and lovable. I really surprised myself when I agreed to hold one! Proof is in the picture:

What a great time and relaxing fun filled vacation. It is so hard to come back home after a trip like this. I don’t think we will be going back in the water at Jones Beach for a long time after going into Cayman waters where you can see so clearly no matter how far out you were. This was a much needed fun trip- Hope you liked a sneak peak at our little journey.

My sister and I are doing this catering/waitress thing as a second income and I made this chefabella card to send as a Thank You to one of our customers. I think she came out pretty cute and you never know - maybe I can get a Stampin Up customer our of the deal and kill two birds with one stone …

Okay so I was inspired and felt a little ambitious today. I made 6 more chefabellas and I think one is cuter than the other. So hard to pick a favorite!  I made all of the aprons by paper piecing and matched them to their corresponding background paper. They all have the same design/ layout but all look different.  I love em!
