Finally got a chance to play with my new images from Deedee's Digis. This one is Little Miracles. I also purchased some new bling that I love because its different and it shimmers
and shines. The bling is Mosaic Tiles, this one is Opal Shimmer, naturally I had to buy more then one so I also bought red, green, black..... you can never have enough bling.......

For added shimmer I used heavy stickles on the wings, and my ribbon has a glitter thread running thru, hard to see on the photo

Summer is my favorite season. Living in Chicago you never know when the nice summer days will end. Usually we have a few good weeks, then the high humidy, heat index and ozone warnings strike. This week has been perfect, So on a perfect holiday weekend we Chicago folks head down to beautiful Lake Michigan.
I spent my Friday at Navy Pier, Millenium Park and of course, The Taste of Chicago, I am so sunburn but it was well worth it. It was a special family day with my daughter and mother.
For a day at Lake Michigan the only appropriate foot wear is FLIP FLOPS! I love the sand on my feet.
