Getting ready for a much needed break...
Two of my three kids are home...my boy is at Airborne school...jumping out of perfectly good airplanes.
We're all going to be together soon and I'll be taking a week off for fun.
SO....I will be offering a vacation discount in my shop starting Friday, August 12th...until Monday, August 23rd...mind you, I'll be completely ignoring my shop during that time so you'll have to be patient for your order!
To get a 15% discount on your entire order, use coupon code: funinthesun
at checkout.
Don't you just love discounts?

Friends...

A good friend is hard to find.  My best friend came to visit from California last month.  It was SO FUN to get to spend time with her...laugh...talk...laugh...giggle...laugh...we laugh a lot!   We have history...we've known each other for 35 years.  We love each other's kids...know each others secrets...bear each others burdens...help each other see clearly when things get foggy...
I cherish our friendship...guard it...treasure it in my heart and I get greedy when she's here....because time with her is precious...
We forgot to take a photo of us...so this one will have to do.  (Truth be told, we didn't shut up long enough to pose) These gals look like they're reading each others minds...remembering the time they...(fill in the blank).  They look like they're about to bust up laughing because one of them said "click...click...click..." and the other is about to snort with utter glee!!  (It's a long story...)
