Getting Ready For Vacation!

I've been busy lately getting things in order for vacation and haven't had much time to craft. There is always so much to do before vacation and sometimes I feel like I need a vacation before and after the real vacation!

I got my order from Happy N Scrappin in the other day and had to get my cardstock all put away. The prices were just too awesome to pass up. I was talking to Linda on the phone and telling her and she went in and ordered some of the 12x24 packs of cardstock. We discussed how it can be cut down easily and the price was too good to resist. I don't think they had as many colors as they did when I first saw it but Linda was still able to stock up on some really good colors. She also ordered some of the patterned papers and I had her order me a few of the Jillibean Soup collections. I think we lost track of what I ordered, at least I know I did. That is nothing new for us though, I am often surprised at what Linda brings to my house and tells me I had her order it and she tells me to pay up *okie is beginning to wonder if maybe Linda just does this to get rid of stuff she doesn't want*.

I have another design for a shirt to make for BFF Karen and I, this time think of Pirates of the Carribean! I was looking through the excursions available for the cruise we are going on and there was a Pub Crawl at the Key West stop. I knew this was mine and BFF Karen's kind of excursion! We don't normally do the excursions but this one had 4.9 stars out of 5 stars...how could we NOT sign up? Now the issues is finding tank tops this time of year! I might have to cut the design and take it to Florida with me and find tank tops there. I mean it is summer all year long there isn't it?

Tonight is stamp club so Linda will be down and we will have our evening of fun with the ladies. Hopefully there won't be any little kids in the area this time. Last time I had to sit quietly in the corner. Anytime there are kids in attendance I have to sit in the corner quietly or suffer being chastised throughout the evening for saying inappropriate things. I also got an email this week reminding me about Stamp Club but also pointing out that I can't make any X-rated cards. *DEEP SIGH* I think it might be time for me to stop going to stamp club if they are going to put such limitations on my creativity!

  1. Have fun on vacation, stop by and see me in Florida, it isn't always summer here, in fact, this morning I woke up to 42 degrees in central Florida on the coast, and am wearing a turtleneck sweater and long pants today :) Even had to scrape ICE off the windshield 2 mornings ago...

  4. My husband and I just returned from a cruise to Key West and Nassau. It was great fun but a little chilly. Be sure to pack at least one pair of long pants and a sweatshirt or fleece. Have fun!

  5. I would tell you to have a lot of fun on your cruise....but I would just about bet no one needs to tell you to have fun.
    If someone don't want to here your "words" then maybe they should get someone to watch their little ones.
    My oldest Sister had always used the "f" word all the time. My kids called it the Aunt Alice word :) But they knew to never say it, even as toddlers she allowed her Son that was the same age as my oldest Son to cuss, but my Son never said the words that she allowed hers to say. Now I can't say the same as my boys are 42 and 37...lol...I have no control over them. And don't be sitting in any corner :)

  6. Hope you have an awesome vacation! Why does your Stamp Club tell you what you can make? That doesn't sound right to me.
