Camping

The adventures continue!  We had a long day of travel yesterday with snared up traffic.  Atlanta, GA had a 5 car pile up which created slow/stopped traffic. Nashville TN just had a lot of traffic. We should have arrived around 6 pm in Lake Park, GA which is right at the Florida border. We didn’t arrived till after 7:30 🙄 Slow traffic is far better than us getting in an accident or something breaking; all in all not a bad trip. 

Today was completely uneventful!😊 We have arrived in Kissimmee FL!  All I can say is it is HOT and HUMID!!😜

Creatures

We were up bright and early this morning to start the trek to Orlando, FL. We plan to get to Clarksville TN if all goes well. Kevin forgot his coffee this morning so it’s not starting out so good.  We don’t make extra stops along the way so he has four hours before we stop and he can get coffee 😳

Hello!  We are still having summer like days and running air conditioner. Not complaining , winter and snow will be here soon enough. Did some cleaning today so just getting out to the shop. I need to barcode all the stamps. I will be working late into the night.

 Kevin has a free day to change oil  in vehicles and then tonight he is taking our nephew, Drew, to the shooting  range for his birthday. I’m not sure who is more excited- Kevin or Drew? 😉

Hello!  We arrived in Portland yesterday along with President Obama!   We were pretty tired from the drive but woke up this morning refreshed and ready to go again.  We have our booth all set up, we made a few stamps that we had brought with us, and now we are ready for a good nights sleep 🙂

Enjoy your weekend!  Happy Mother’s Day to all you Mothers!

Good Evening!  We made it home from Akron at 4 am this morning!  Long night but woke up around 9 am refreshed and ready to go again.  I must admit to sleeping on the way home.  Kevin is a night owl so driving at night is far better for him than in the daytime.  Plus the traffic in Chicago is much better 🙂

We had a fabulous time in Akron!  So fun to see everyone there again.

Love this card…Karissa has been using up that calendar.  I love that this card has the first day of spring on it.  We had some super nice sunny weather today.  Little chilly but nice.  My clothes failed to dry on the line so they finally had to go in the dryer.  I got all the orders out and all the brother machines ordered that were sold this weekend so feeling caught up.

Stamps Used:  GG35 KB’s Primrose Lg, J35 Live Love Laugh, The butterfly stamp I will have to look up and get on the website 😦 didn’t realize it wasn’t on.  Have a great evening.

Good Afternoon…we have had some full and wonderful days with our family!  Did a little shopping today…got another pair of shoes today!  They are so cute.  That is one thing when I buy a pair of shoes…I never take a pair of shoes out.  With other things, like shirts, one goes in and one goes out…not shoes:)  Love shoes!  Bought red shoes today. 🙂

Notice that today’s card has a bead on it?  On the ribbon!

Stamps Used:  J35 Live Every Moment, D299 Trio Butterflies

Well back to work…not quite ready yet for Akron.  If anyone is interested in helping us at Akron on Saturday, please email me at beth@shopec.com.  Thanks!

It is a beautiful Saturday morning here in WI!  I know that I don’t usually blog on Saturday but since I’ve been quite occupied this week and missed a couple of blogging days….I thought I would make up for it.  I really have no excuses just plain busy 🙂

Washing sheets again today since a third set of company is gone and a fourth set is coming.  So special to have family and friends.

Good Morning!  We had a beautiful weekend!  I’m so sorry I didn’t blog on Friday.  My laptop has been acting up and it needs to go to the repair shop.  It seems it might be an easy fix so I just need to find the time to go to town now 🙂  Lucky my computer in the shop is still working.

Today’s card will be added to the Make n Take schedule.  It’s a fun frog card.  Stamps Used:  BB54 KB’s Flies sm, J30 Happy Day Banner, B204 Time’s Fun, D231 KB’s Frog Med, D228 Hoppy Birthday, F205 Birthday Toad-ally
