Thinking About Vacation :)











I have been really busy getting ready for my trip coming up. I am going on a mini-business-relaxation vacation. I will be attending the Make Mine Pink Retreat on Cape Cod. Joyce has rented a beach house and its gorgeous. I know she has so many fun, inspirational and informational things planned. There is a total of 9 of us going, and I know its going to be so much fun. I have never been to New England and this is somewhere I have always wanted to go. I think we will have some free time to explore and do some shopping. I know I plan on visiting Marion Pie Shop. Its came highly recomended from a very reliable source. lol




I have kind of slowed down on the business this week. I cant do everything and its high time I learned this. I have a pet sitting job that will take me about 4 hours per day and working full time too. So I am spending this weekend getting ready and everything sorted out. But as soon as I get back renewed, refreshed and ready to go, there will be alot of new things coming. This week I made this tote bag for my trip. I tested it out and used it today. Works good! :) I did make this cupcake wall banner that is part of a project that will be going to a magazine for consideration for a feature.




I will be around to visit you all! Have a very Happy and Blessed Memorial Day. Many thanks of gratitude for everyone serving our country and to those who have served to make America the country it is today :) Until next time............gail

Gail, good luck on the banner -- it sure is cute! I love the tote also! I love the trim on it...I was admiring Carol's as well...I need huge ones with snaps as I carry so much stuff!!!

Well, I am GREEN with envy over missing this retreat! :(( I have not been to New England yet and I dearly would love to go. So have fun for ALL of us that won't make it, ok?

You all are going to have a great time on the Cape. What a beautiful house. The Cape is just gorgeous. Be sure to experience the Christmas Tree shop if you never have.
Your purse is gorgeous. I love the fabric and ribbon combo.
Have a good Memorial Day. We're off to the beach to cook out.

Hey Gail,

It's me again! Monday was a normal work day for me, but my colleagues in US were on holiday, so I came to know about it. I hope you're having a blast at the retreat!
