Palms..

I have recently returned from a much needed vacation... in which every room had Palm Tree Decor... by the weeks end, I didn't want to see another palm tree home decor again... or maybe until next time! It was a huge joke among the couples there! 

I found it ever so suitable to make my Thank you card for the other couple that joined us to be using the retired Tropical Island set.

I wanted something worn looking... with the crumbling of the cardstock that was under the embossed cardstock, I ruff up the edges.  While it was my first time  stamping in a while I am very pleased with the outcome!

My time off

Its been two weeks... or maybe alittle more  since I have posted. I have good reason... I promise! 

 I took a much needed, no teens vacation. While some may not think that it a great reason - since I was only really on vacation 7 days, I needed some time to me. Some time where I could do this:

for many hours and not have to answer the "Hey, Mom!" ... followed by a "can I...?"

I did dream alittle like - seeing myself out in this..forever.!!!!

After you put yourself in lots of this white sand - you start to think you will never return to mowing yards, or tending gardens, answer phones or even grocery shopping again - because this is the life I was to live...

...

then reality kicked in ... all because I heard this:

So I truly enjoyed my vacation- and hated to come home to reality but Destin, Florida will be there for me next time I need a break .... from being a mom and the corporate world!

Thank you for your understanding.

Now, we are days away from the last chance items in the 2010-2011 catty... and only days away from all the exciting new stuff in the 2011-2012 catty... stay tuned!
