POST #2 LIVE FROM MYRTLE BEACH & A CHALLENGE!!

WOOHOO!! Back at the cafe again!! How have you been? Hope you are having a FABULOUS week!! The humidty has been KILLING us, but, today seems a LITTLE better!! I say a LITTLE, with emphasis!! Haha!! Well, I won't babble, for Kali is here with me and being VERY patient!! She has been going thru that seperation anxiety stage, SO, I cannot leave her with Eric!! She would, NO DOUBT, cry the entire time I was gone!! That is what we have been dealing with!! YAY!!
Anyway, I have a BEACH challenge to share with you!! As I had said before, I grabbed some crafting supplies to bring along!! That deserves a HUGE woohoo!! I was able to create something for this week's STAMPINSANITY challenge!! You will find the sketch below and be sure to check out the STAMPINSANITY blog for ALL the deets!!! I just LOVE being a GROOVY GURL!!! That being said, you will also NEED to visit the rest of the GROOVY GURLZ for some definite AWESOMENESS!!! I tried to get as close as I could to the challenge, however, I did not bruing the cuttlebug along, therefore I have squares instead of circles!!! That and the image I printed off, LITA, was a smidge TOO big!! I also used the OTHER WORLDLY LOVES sentiment set!! One of my FAVES, I might add!! Oh well, I had FUN anyway and I got CLOSE!! Besides, it is MY version right?? Hey, at least I got to use my Copics!!! OK....Kali wants to go!! I leave you with the challenge, MY version, and some more pics!! Have a GREAT day!! See you REAL soon and ENJOY LIFE!!!

THE SKETCH!

MY VERSION!

VACAY PICS!

THANKS SO MUCH FOR STOPPING BY!!!!

POST #1 LIVE FROM MYRTLE BEACH!!

WHEW!! Wow, we made it!! Sorry I have not posted before now!! The plan was to post EVERY day, at least a LITTLE something!! However, without an internet connection?? It's a BIT tough!! SO, although I am NOT happy about it, I am at the same internet cafe as last year! The last few days last year were a tad questionable, at this establishment!! I swear he charged me something different each day!! Oh well, I am on to them now!! Haha!! Anyway, it is worth it to connect with you all!! Missed ya!!
The drive down was not too bad and the kids were ALL super good!! Gotta LOVE that!! Well.....except for when Kyah got sick in the car!! BUT....even with that? Kyah handled it like a PRO!! Seriously!! That girl is AMAZING!! OK.....I am sitting here with Kali and the other two are with Eric! They are headed to the pool, while we are here! It would be TOO much to take all 3! For sure! Kali is going thru a BIT of a stage and CAN be difficult........at times!! The terrible TWOS that Kyah missed out on?? Kali is making up for!! She has enough for BOTH of them! Haha!! Heck.....for ALL 3 of them!! Kade doesn't really seemed to be phased by that whole thing, thank goodness!!!
SO.......Kali is sitting across from me with a chocolate milk, her FIRST I might add, and I am here with my computer!! I wanted to visit with you all and share some pics from our first few days here! Hope you enjoy them and I will be back, hopefully tomorrow, if not DEFINITELY Thursday!! Because?? Just like last year, I brought my COPICS along for the ride and plan to create a few for you!! I even had to go to the local Walmart and buy a trimmer!! I could NOT bring my HUGE table top one and could not find the other one!! SO.......improvise! I KNEW I could at least buy a trimmer down here! I would LOVE to find a stamps tore though!! Anyone know of any in MYRTLE?? I HAD planned to cut everything ahead of time? Kinda make card kits up? BUT? We all know how that goes! I ran out of time and just CHUCKED everything in my bag!! I even brought some stamp sets along! It was easier with the NEW SU DVD cases I have now! I printed out some STAMPINSANITY images and put it all in my craft tote!! I cannot wait to get a little crafting time!! Just to relax a bit from the FUN of vacay, if that makes sense!! OK.......I will stop babbling and I will leave you with some pics!! Have an AWESOME day ad remember..........................ENJOY LIFE!!!





PS. I have LOTS more and will share more later, if you are interested!!
