As the end of the school year approaches, Nicholas and Elisabeth are talking more and more about summer vacation -- and how great it will be to be out of school and hanging out at home. And I get it - it sounds pretty good to me too!
But sometimes I like to be home alone - to just play in my scrap room, read, nap . . . . . .Summer vacation means I almost certainly won't be home alone again for a whole day til school starts in August. So years ago, I began taking a pre-summer vacation vacation. I take a few days off just before school's out and give myself permission to do as little or as much as I feel like for the whole time.
Yesterday was the first day of this year's pre-vacation. I did some errands and some laundry, but I also read a trashy romance novel, took a nap and finished this layout.
Its a fun mix of creative memories, making memories, and jillibean soup (among other products). I'm submitting it for the current got sketch challenge too.
Today I have an appointment for a mani/pedi and am visiting a relatively new local scrapbook store - Creative Chaos in Circleville, Ohio. They had a table at a benefit crop I went to in March and had great stuff and were showing great ideas, so I'm really excited to check it out.
