I am going to try to get to bed before midnight tonight… I am taking off tomorrow for a little inspiration trip. 5am. Ugh. But have to make the most of the daylight hours! We are doing the calif coast. Newport up to San Jose. We are flying into Orange County and then renting a car, and driving all the way up the coast. Going at no particular pace- no schedule. Just a rough idea of the stops we plan to make. So excited. It’s always tricky getting stuff pulled together before you leave town. I have been staying up way too late. Last night I worked on my “big picture” class. Exciting! More and more ideas keep popping into my head!
We’ll post some photos of our little creative adventure! Hopefully I’ll get some great ideas! I love these trips, and it’s been a long time since I went out to really focus on getting fresh ideas.
have a save trip sweetie,cant wait to see your pictures!!

Hope you have a great trip! Can't wait to see what cool new stuff this trip inspires! I used your "Sweet" frame kit on a layout last weekend. I really liked the way it turned out.
Can't wait for your Big Picture class. Do you have any idea how long the class will be and how much it will cost? The Big Picture site doesn't have any info on it, yet and I like to plan ahead!
My CE book should arrive TODAY!!! Can't wait. Hopefully I can make it to the event next year.

That sounds like so much fun. I'm tempted to move back to AZ just so I can do things like that.

Have lots of fun! It is a beautiful drive. It is hard to believe you need inspiration (laughing). Can't wait to see what you come up with and see what you see. You definitely deserve it. Can't wait till your BP classes. I am so in.

My most favorite vacation (aside from my honeymoon) was when my family & I flew into LA & drove up the coast to Oregon. The most beautiful trip I have ever taken!! Have lots of fun & be SURE to share your pictures with us!

You'll have to wave at me when you drive by San Jose! Giggle...I won't explain to my boyfiend why I'm just waving at no one in particular sometime this weekend :-)

I like what you do and your freestyle inspires to me

In Los Angeles you will need to stop at Sweetpeas & Snapshots, if you have not already been. Cool stuff and the girls are really awesome. Up the coast stop by my home town, San Luis Obispo and Avila Beach. Beautiful. Have fun.

my favorite trip is any trip that I take with my husband. Enjoy yourself. Enjoy the sun on your skin and the wind in your hair.
And show us pictures so we can all live vicariously, please.

This is in regards to your hands-free post. I have been getting people Babygami that has quite a few wrap techniques, some more complicated than others, and some crazy ones too. Quite a fun book, check it out sometime!
