Rayme Royale says....

Hey Divas and Dukes~~~

A very BELATED HELLO to all! The creative juices have been flowing in several thousand directions all at once and I have been nothing but GREAT-FULL for it all! Needless to say, Diva Danielle and I are so thrilled and excited about our upcoming book, "Designing With the Divas". All projects are at the publishing house, photos and editing are now taking place like mad as we speak, and then to the printers, and then into your hot little hands! We can't wait! It is turning into a craft book extraordinaire like I have never seen before! We know you'll feel the same way about it!

I write to you the night before the big CRUISE!!! Wanted to let you know how excited we are, and sad at the same time that this may be the last cruise for a long while because of the re-location of the cruise ship. But, it's all okay. There is no doubt in our minds that the next BETTER trip, retreat, etc. will be showing it self to us within the near future!

I can't wait for this cruise (along with Mama Royale) because it will give me the time to catch up on some much needed card designing! Many of you e-mail me and have asked for some cards with specific images. I can't WAIT to get started on them to see what I come up with! I've decided that I'm not even going to bring a book to read on this cruise. It will be a wonderful time of creating, creating, CREATING!

When the cruise is over at the end of the week, Diva Danielle and I will have a lot more to share with you on our radio show, and then of course, extra tid-bits here on the blog.

Until then, Create and FLY!

Write back to us! We LOVE hearing from you!!!

One Week to go Cruising!!!

HI Divas And Dukes!

Now we're getting excited. In one week we'll be boarding the Monarch of the Seas. Jan and I have been working on this cruise for 9 months. It seemed like it couldn't get here fast enough. Now we're less than 7 days to go.

Rayme, Jan and I gathered up all the goodies we're taking on board for our Diva Cruiser's . I hope they bring an extra suitcase!!!!

We're so blessed to have such great friends in the industry that I can ask to donate products for our Diva's to try out.

And there will be more surprises!!!

We're going to Nordstrom on Tues when we dock in San Diego. They have been so awesome to put an event together for us. We're going to have facials and mini make over. We'll be all glam for our formal night.

The best thing about this cruise is the friends we're going to see form the previous Diva Cruises and the new friends we're going to make.We have Diva's flying in from all over the country. We're gathering on Sun for a little Soiree. We'll be doing a few Groovy projects before boarding the ship on Mon. Elizabeth Hernandez will be teaching a class. She owns a store called Memories by Liz.

We'll be doing our show LIVE form the Monarch on Wed. We'll be anchored off of Catalina Island. It should be lots of fun!!!!! There's no telling what we'll be up too!! I hope you'll join us.

Well, I must go and do some more packing. I'm still trying to figure out what I'm going to wear! I do know I'll be packing my tiara and boa. Of course all my projects are packed and ready to go.

I hope you're Having a Diva Day!!!!
