Having fun!

Wow, long time no blog!  Sorry about that.

I kind of just took a break without planning on taking a break.  My children had their spring break, so we took off to Walt Disney World for 5 days.  We all needed to get away and have some fun.  It is good to unplug every once in a while.  Especially the most magical place on earth right?

For the last few weeks, I have been battling horrible allergies.  I am dreaming of the days when we have daily thunderstorms, the rain seems to give me a little respite.  That also added to the not wanting to craft/create/blog.  Does that ever happen to you?  So my unplanned break was great :)

Today, I grabbed one of my favorite Lawn Fawn sets called, Swimsuit Season.   You see, I am jetting off to Arizona Wednesday morning to go to the 2011 Spellbinders Design Team retreat.  Holy moly, am I excited and we are going to have so much fun.  

This image is so stinking cute right?  Who didn't have a pool toy growing up?  Everyone right?
