Had to get the juices flowing somehow, so I grabbed my Simple Stories Vintage Winter Woods paper pad and ephemera pieces and whipped out my Christmas cards. Sometimes you need a deadline to get your engine started, you know? LOL Here are a few of my favorites.
We made it. If you have followed me on the blog or other socials, you know that we became Snowbirds a couple of years before Covid hit. Then, with Randy's surgery, we missed another couple of years wintering in the warmer weather. Well, we are here again, and so happy to be where the sun shines every day! It has been tough finding suitable places to stay within our time frame, but I have been lucky so far and this year's accommodations have turned out to be perfect. Airbnb has been so good for us, and we've had good luck with everyone we have dealt with.
That said, my crafty juices are stalled. I don't know where to begin; it has been so long since I really delved into the supply stash and it's making me crazy. I have a space here for crafting, which is always a must when doing our winter Airbnb search, so that's not an issue. One month ago today my sister and I were on our way to Paris, Germany and Switzerland -- FAB TRIP!!! -- and when I got home, I barely had time to breathe before packing up again and hitting the road. But here we are and I need to get the creativity flowing again.
While I ponder, here is a favorite photo I took while on vacay. This was from our table at the Sky Bar in the Hilton Hyatt Regency Hotel in Paris on the 34th floor. I'll never forget this breathtaking view.
It's Turkey Day once again and we are so very thankful for everything we are blessed with! I hope you are having a wonderful day with friends, family, pets or whomever and however you celebrate your thankfulness. We ALL have so much to be thankful for.
....but not for long! Just returned from vacation in Europe and have such a short time to get repacked and ready for our winter trek south. (More on vacation later - with pics of course! )We are sooooo hoping we make it out of town before the snow comes - please cross your fingers for us. We're heading out this weekend and I haven't even started packing, though I did get all the laundry done so that's a good start.
I'm having such a hard time not delving into the craft stash, you have no idea! The studio is basically shut down for winter, but that doesn't keep me from wanting to make it a huge mess in here again. Hahaha! My fingers are so itchy to get crafting again.
Before I left, I was able to get started on the cover for the Halloween Every Day Journal and I can't wait to finish it. So far I'm loving it! What do you think???
