I spent yesterday packing for my Texas trip. I actually started packing on Saturday night but yesterday I took everything out of the suitcase I had packed and redid it .... about 4 times!! I am trying to get around not having to pay $25 for my suitcase and $25 for Sonny's suitcase - that's $100 roundtrip! Ridiculous! I've also heard that they now charge you for the blanket and pillow on the plane. When will this madness stop? So I decided to combine our clothes and stuff in one large suitcase and we would each take a carry-on. Good idea ... then it has to be under 50 pounds! I was doing ok until I put the case of Cheerwine Ashley requested in the suitcase. Oops .... about 65 pounds! The dang suitcase itself empty weighs 10 pounds. I need to buy a new lighter weight one. Finally, I ended up leaving the Cheerwine out and hoping my mom can bring it next week. If not, it would be cheaper to UPS it to her I think! So, I am packed and ready to go today. Just hoping for a smooth flight and not a repeat of the last time I flew to San Antonio. That time when we landed, my sinuses went beserk. I had the worst pain I have either had in my life in my gums and teeth. I'm going to try taking a decongestant this a.m. before I board the plane.
So, my postings may be rather sporadic the next couple of weeks. Don't know how much creative time I will have. Some of our friends from Dallas are meeting us in San Antonio so we'll be busy with them. We will drive to Austin Thursday am for the Rehearsal Luncheon and spend Thursday - Saturday in Austin. Then we'll be go back to Ashley's for a day only to return to Georgetown (just past Austin) on Sunday for another wedding! After that, Sonny will leave to return home on Tuesday and my mom will join me for another week. Hopefully, the second week will be a little more relaxing - laying out by the pool and "chillin."
So, here are a couple of Monday Mailers to share with you:
This is one that I received. I love the colorful flowers! I thought the white lines were done with a scoring tool, but she said she used the DSP on page 15 of the Summer Mini. Isn't it cool?
This is a card that I sent using the Black Magic Technique again. I just love this technique!
Have a wonderful week!!
