Getting Back in the Swing of Things
December 7th, 2011
Goodness! Is it really Wednesday already? Last week we went to Austin TX to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. The first 3 days of the trip were great and we had a wonderful anniversary, but things started to go downhill the next day, Thursday, when I woke up not feeling very well. I caught some sort of stomach flu bug or perhaps it was a mild food poisoning. By Friday I was feeling really miserable as we had to check out of our beautiful hotel toom at noon and didn’t have a flight out until 5:00. I was so thankful for the Lord’s grace to allow me to sleep pretty much the entire 3 hours home on the plane. I spent the next 3 days on the couch and only yeterday beagn to feel like myself again. So you see, I really can’t believe it’s Wednesday already!
We had a wonderful friend house sit for us while we were gone. He took great care of the pups and the birds and he even sent us daily videos! 🙂 Here’s the card I left for him. Made this card when I should have been packing and doing a million other things, but just wanted to stamp – so it’s a quick and easy one. 🙂
From Taylored Expressions, I combined Thankful (apple basket and sentiment) with some of Taylor’s brand new little flags and banners – Fly Your Flag 1 (stamps and dies). I also used the Picket Fence Taylored Die, Take Note 1 Taylored Die, and Bronze Viva Pearl Pen. Paper is Echo Park.
Now it’s time to start catching up on a few things around here. I think laundry might be first on the list. Thanks for stopping by. Hope you have a great day!
