Sick as a dawg

November 1, 2011 By Kokabella

So I was getting a little achy last night while walking around in Fleming Island {where we used to live} so my daughter could trick or treat with her little friend. I woke up today feeling lousy! Yuck.

I wanted to let you all know that I’m taking a few days to get some R&R.

What do you think of the photo?! It’s the best I could come up with. I didn’t even having a “sick dog” type photo so I grabbed this one from Dreamstime and added some color and fun to it. They have some great freebies there.

See you all soon with some new photographic art!

My Little Piece of “Precious”

October 27, 2011 By Kokabella

I thought I’d share a photo of my sweet, sweet little girl, Sophia. I took this photograph in August at our beach in Sea Colony, Palm Coast. She was two and a half years of age. I love her like crazy!

Day Twenty-Five: 31 Days of Props

October 25, 2011 By Kokabella

A.A. Milne’s quote was too perfect not to toss into this promo ad collage made by Apache’s designer way back in 2002. Where do the years ago? Craziness.

So… have you ever stopped to think and forgot to start again? It sounds so crazy but seeing this old ad reminds me of how easy it is to forget about ourselves. In my case, I had a baby {who rocks my little world by the way} and suddenly, life was all about being a mom. Then something like a quote or reminder from a friend makes you see that we have to get our groove back!

The props used by Apache Powerboats’ designer many moons ago were all things in my life; offshore powerboat racing, my horse, Dalmatian and a ton of sunny Southern California weather.

Memory: Jack LaLanne’s 88th Birthday

October 24, 2011 By Kokabella

I was sorting through an old folder of pictures and found this wonderful memory of Jack LaLanne and I at his 88th birthday in Malibu. I remember it quite vividly. My buddy, Jon {Jack’s son} invited me to celebrate his dad’s birthday at our local hang out, The Malibu Inn. There are two words that make any event a guaranteed good time: party & inspiration! Both of which were there in a grand way. [Read more...]
