Vacation Ornaments

I made one of these when we went to Burmuda.  I collected some sand and made one for each of my girls, who went with us,  and one for me. I did the same on this trip.  I collected a little black sand from Piha Beach in New Zealand and some sand a sea shells from Fiji and made these ornaments for my Christmas tree.I still need to add some ribbon, but this is what I have done so far.  We always buy a Christmas Ornament when we travel and I put the date on them.  I couldn't find any in either of these places, so I made my own!

This is one side, front, with a closer view of the beach and Lion's Rock.

This is the back side, The sand is in the ornament and you can see Lion's Rock behind us.

Fiji, back.  See the tiny seashells!  Aren't they cute?

This and That Book

I am back from my wonderful trip!  I took my This and That Book with me so I could work on it as I went along.  It is small and easy to just stick mementos in as I got them.  Rolanda had a Polaroid camera that takes wallet size pictures!  We took a few pictures along our travels so we could put them in our books right away.  I added a lot more after I got home.  Here is a sample of my book, which is still not completely finished, but almost.  I just need to add a little more journaling and a few more pictures, but this was so easy and quick to chronicle our vacation.

I 'm not sure that I am completely happy with my cover, so it may change a bit.

So what do you think?  Pretty cute huh?  I wish I could share all of the pages with you.  You will just have to come to my New Catalog Open House and look through it yourself!

NEW Bloomin' Biouquet Project Kit

This kit is available today, but supplies are limited!

Bloomin' Bouquet Information:

  Mother's Day. Teacher appreciation. Just because. Say thank you with this no-maintenance bouquet. There's no watering, no weeding; just enjoying. This easy-to-assemble kit comes complete with the petals, stems, and buttons to create the flowers, as well as four different tags to make this the perfect gift for any occasion. All you need is some paper, ribbon, or a vase to add the finishing touches to the bouquet.

Give it to someone you wouldn't normally think of: a teller at the bank, a grocery store clerk, or the librarian at your local library. Anyone you encounter on your way that you'd like to give a little"a little thank you to" and introduce them to Stampin' Up!
