this travel thing sure has me beat!
sorry no inspiration wednesday today...but maybe inspiration thursday tomorrow?
i has such an amazing 10 days in brazil, it was fast paced and in Portuguese but it was absolutely incredible!
alice and fabi thank you so much for your hospitality and your friendship!
Alice and her mother made these incredible aprons as well as tote bags and placemats. tomorrow i will be giving 2 sets of them away to some very lucky readers.
there were too many moments to name them all and so many special people and relationships made, but i wanted to share with you a little photo tribute of all the fun we had!
Cool aprons
Love the camera case. Will stay up to watch the live video.

That looks like it was a very fun trip! Like the camera bag, will have to watch the tape though - busy 2nite. Looks like a great gift (with a little camera) for someone very special.

Donna, your video was so incredible... love to see your smile after the beach experience, with the wet hair...
I don't know if it was on purpose, but the final scene, kissing the movie poster, there's a phrase in portuguese saying "life is made of moments...". So perfect for this video.
I'm so glad to see you had a good time with my dear friends, and was also good to see their smiles being with you. Thank you for sharing your experience!

Welcome home. The aprons are so pretty, maybe too pretty to wear while crafting?
Posted by: Florida Nancy | March 17, 2010 at 07:06 PM
Welcome home! I missed you, although, I do appreciate your hubby keeping us up to date. I'd love to catch your show, but did I read that right, is it tonight - Wednesday - opposite Heidi Swapp's?? Oh please don't make me choose....I LOVE you both!
Thanks again for coming to FLorida. Loved meeting you at She Scrapbooks in The Villages!

Love, luv, LOVED your camera bag video tonite -- you & Bill are such a great team! I learn so much better by someone just showing me how -- had no idea how to properly use watercolours AND had previously thought you had just sprayed your bags with glimmer mist. Wow -- learned so much. Can't wait for Inspired.
