I was suppossed to leave on a plane to Detroit to attend a family wedding but somehow I didn't get past Las Vegas. My son Clint called on the day of my departure and asked for help. So I did what any other mother would do...I dropped everything and came to help him and my beautiful granddaughter. Spending the last month here has brought back so many memories. How I wish I could know what I know now and go back and do it all over again. I know that sounds so crazy but sometimes I wish I could.

It was the most exciting thing I've received in the mail all year. Grace, thanks so much for the vintage shadow box, all the sweets and goodies, the vintage black and white scrapbook paper and the most beautiful tag you've ever seen!!! What font did you use??? I just couldn't wait to post this on my blog.

Campbell and I along with his brother Hamish, wife Rhonda and their two sons Chasen and Jack went to attend a family wedding.<br /><br />Although the wedding was the highlight of the trip, we did so much more...Visited world renown <a href="http://www.pikeplacefish.com/">Pikes Place Fish Market </a>where we got to see the <a href="http://www.charthouse.com/content.aspx?name=home2">fish philosophy </a>first hand. We stayed at two of the WorldMark Timeshare ressorts.<br /><br />First stop was in <a href="http://www.worldmarktheclub.com/resorts/db/">Discovery Bay</a>. Here we enjoyed good food and fishing. Second we stayed at the <a href="http://www.worldmarktheclub.com/resorts/st/">Camlin</a>, another Worldmark Timeshare.

Well <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">actually</span> it's a little of both. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;">With the beginning of a school year I usually put all personal issues aside for my little kiddos at school.

But, I was so excited to start this blog I couldn't help myself. Whatever I forget I'll just stop at Target.<br /><br />I had this vision about 2 years ago where a group of scrapbooking friends would share their art...where creativity would flow though a new venue. I am so excited to push myself and see where this will bring me.<br /><br />I can't wait to share my vacation when we return....Happy Summer!!!Joannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18384462703058526378noreply@blogger.com1
