So, I'm on vacation, visiting my in-laws in beautiful Sacramento, CA... The weather is HOT but they have air conditioning and so does almost every place we've been since we got here. Where we live, the weather is not as hot as it is here, because we live near the beach. But, since we are so close to the beach, nobody has air conditioning in their houses, and you have to go to the mall for the A/C when it gets warm, which is about 5 days a year, lol... SO, it's kind of weird to us to be so hot, but we are having a good time.
We drove up here and found a lot of cool places on the drive, so that a drive which takes 6-7 hours ended up taking us almost 11, lol... My favorite place was the Cheese Factory, which was near to Fresno. They had 6 kinds of cheese out for us to try, a kitchen surrounded by windows where had we been there at the right time, we could have seen them making cheese (something I would have enjoyed immensely), a ton of cheeses for us to buy (I picked garlic jack and it is YUMMY!!), and all kinds of kitschy gift type items, of which we bought one for my Father in Law's birthday, and then it fell out of the back of the car and broke into 3 pieces, but hubby thinks he'll still be able to hang it... We'll have to see on that one. I was quite disappointed.
Anyhow, I brought all the preview and freebie links with me so you won't have to miss out on freebies even though we are off gallivanting. We are planning some fun stuff while we are here, mostly spending time with family and looking at colleges for Rachel. She's narrowed it down to 13 choices, but of course it will have to slim down even more eventually!!
Yesterday, when I was supposed to blog, Happy was released at With Love Studio. Here's the bundle:
If you got Happy in the daily download last month, you'll be interested in the Happy Extras, which I created just for you. It's a bundle of the alphas and the glitter, with a little discount for buying them together!!
Of course, as always, you can get all the pieces separately from the bundle if you only like papers, or what not, but since I'm on vacation, I'm going to let you head over to WLS and find them if you want them! I know you can do it!! And, as always, for the first week, they are on sale at 20% off!! :D
I made a layout with this kit, which I love. It is of my two daughters, one is Rachel and the other is Ashley, who is my step daughter from my first marriage. This photo was taken right around when Ashley moved in with us. It was fun for Rachel to have a live in our house sister, and we had gone to a concert of Bryan Duncan, who is a great singer.
And, here's a quickpage to match for you!! (Click it if you want it, always a direct download!!)
** Oops!! I had the link slightly wrong when I typed it in, it should be working better now, I'm sorry for the inconvenience! I am on vacation and this key board is a tiny bit smaller than the one I use at home :( Thanks to all who let me know politely and even the one who chose to scream and cuss at me over email for letting me know so I could get it fixed... **
Tuesday, I will be blogging early, because we have a college tour that day, so I will definitely have something for you then. It's some awesome solids and glitters to go with a blog train that releases on Wednesday, so you will get LOTS of freebies from me this next week! By Friday, I'll be back at home, so you'll get your regular freebie that day!!
I hope you are having a great weekend!!
Huggles!!
