It's a Wednesday.
How does it happen.
i am just getting old.
i remember when i was a kid time felt like it stood still.
i waited for Christmas.
i waited for Summer.
and now it feels like it was just Christmas.
and it is Summer.
what the heck?
Florida was a blast!
going to Whim-so-doodle is always fun.
we had the best time.
i love taking my girls with me.
Jill and her daughters are the best hosts.
WhimSoDoodle is such a fun store.
such great customers.
fun women.
creative women.
i had a ball re-connecting with old friends.
meeting new ones.
not a bad gig.
love it.
taught with the Girls' Paperie for the last time in a store.
bittersweet for me.
i love lines.
they are part of a very special, unique time in my life.
some of my favorite designs.
the product is almost gone.
i have a stash.
Friday i will be posting about selling off the last of the kits.
so if you couldn't get to one of my workshops or i wasn't in your area keep your eyes pealed...
taught with Authentique for the first time!
exciting.
we had a ball.
thanks to Jill and the Whim-so-doodle family and the Orobello Family for hosting us!
The 4th of July at our house has always been a family day!
this year no different.
the boys came down from Idaho for the weekend.
Brooke came up from Provo.
we sat by the pool.
we BBQed.
we just hung out.
it was great.
on the 4th we went down to my brother's house for a traditional Romney celebration.
Parade {we didn't go to, too early!} huge BBQ with the family, and swimming.
there was lots of eating.
lots of talking, catching up with my nieces who are married and live away.
sitting in the shade drinking homemade rootbeer and eating Yevon's famous homemade icecream.
the food was out of control.
wink!
perfect day.
i loved being with my kids.
for me it's what it's all about.
spending time with my kids and the people i love most.
celebrating freedom.
it was a great day...
i hope your 4th was filled with family, friends and the things you love most.
i hope you took photos to record it...
i know i need to remind myself to take more.
happy Wednesday.
i can't believe the week is half over.
i am doing some fun things on the Authentique Facebook wall this week with Splendid come on over!
kiss kiss
