Today is a No Mail Monday (Happy Columbus Day here in the U.S., Happy Thanksgiving in Canada!). That means we’re closed at the shop today and that is a nice way to start back to work, after being on vacation for several days last week and through the weekend. I’m putting in a short day here at Loopy and then heading home to unpack and do laundry.
I had a great Girls Trip last week – thanks for your well wishes! We rented a house on Smith Lake (near Birmingham, AL) and had the best time catching up and relaxing. There are 12 of us, and it’s hard to get all 12 there each year, but it’s always fun with the people who are able to attend. We all met as scrapbooking consultants back in the 90’s and have had many fun weekends and trips together over the years. It was so fun to get away and spend time with them last week.
Here is part of the group, hanging out on the deck:
The house we rented was beautiful, and right on the lake.
Here’s the view from the deck:
We spent time chatting on the deck, as well as inside the house:
On one of the days, we went into Birmingham for shopping and checked out the Botanical Garden, too.
Now I’m back into Loopy mode, ready for a fun week! We don’t have a Monday Update tonight, but we’ve been collecting shipments of new things for next week’s update. Check in on Wednesday’s blog where I’ll be doing a contest to win a free skein of yarn from a brand new indie dyer line that we’re adding in. 🙂
