Hello everyone and Happy New Year! I wish you the best that life has to offer in 2013 and may all of your dreams come true! I haven't had a chance to blog (or work on the SHABBYFUFU Website) since before Christmas with lots going on....including the cruise that our family took to the Eastern Caribbean. Here are a few quick shots that I grabbed off my Instagram page (come follow me...shabbyfufu on Instagram)....and then on to some other bits of news.....  |
| My husband and me on a dive boat at St Nevis |

| Happy people in the islands...dive boat captain, with my husband and daughters in the background |

| St Maarten (St Martin) |
 |
| St Kitts |
 |
| Amazing sunsets.....hand me a Pina Colada, right? |
 |
| We went on the luxurious and brand new Celebrity Reflection....it was truly gorgeous |

So now here we are....back to reality and it's 2013!
One of the first things that I'm sharing is that several months ago I was contacted by a representative to Ikea (YES...THAT IKEA!) concerning the possibility of carrying my fine art photography in their stores. Oh yes...this would have been fabulous, but alas the project has fallen through at this time.
Onward and upward to other things....it's all good, no worries....
|
I'm working on a couple of upcoming blog posts that I think you will love....as well as a magazine contribution, so stay tuned soon for those.....
And lastly (certainly NOT leastly!)....speaking of magazines, I was approached awhile ago by one of the editors at Lotus publications to submit some work and am thrilled to have a 38 page spread that I styled and shot in their magazine called SHABBY STYLE.
It's a French magazine and as an added plus, my sweet friend Tania of Grange de Charme has a spread on her gorgeous home that I have had the chance to visit in France.
I don't have my copies yet...it's just out, but I'm going to host a lovely GIVEAWAY PARTY here on the blog for them when I have the copies soon!
Have a great week ahead....please don't be shy and leave a comment, I enjoy hearing from you!

Sounds like a lovely vacation Janet! We are thinking of a Panama Canal cruise this year...cross your fingers! It's just super hard to schedule any vacation with Wade's work schedule. We have to schedule everything more than one year in advance. It's a total pain! Hope you have a fantastic 2013! xo
Love the blog header photos, Janet! I hope to get my hands on that magazine. Congrats on the 38 page spread.

Congrats to you, Janet. I'm sure the spread will be so fabulous! I can't wait to see the magazine.
My parents honeymooned in St. Martin in the 1960's. There was hardly anything there then (very primitive)!
Janet , Ikea - wow!!! What an honor!
