...catching up

on
Hello!

I was a smidge quiet last week:


This was the view from our deck last week:


We were in beautiful

Jamaica!


Darin and I can both say that this has been our best vacation yet.  A whole week of much needed R&R.  The people at our resort were beyond kind, so much so that yes, I'm going to be slinging a card together for a gal and her crew.  

Anywho's, it is definitely a place to go AND I noticed that the next Paper Crafts Cruise stops at Jamaica!

For blog post fillers I was slinging some goodies away from my stash and I'm back to announce the lucky ducks:

 Okay, that's it...today is filled with laundry and catching up with things.

I want to see more pictures!!! glad it was a fab vacay for you & darin! I'd love to go to Jamaica again and next time, we'd be more street smart! HA!
best vacation destination for us is hands down----- Tahiti! bora bora is beautiful! I can't suggest that place more especially for a honeymoon! and we are totally thinking about bringing the boys there. it costs just as much to go there to go Hawaii (kids fly free to Tahiti and 2 kids end up costing a lot) :)
glad you are back! hope you're well rested!

My fave vacation destination...I think PEI. Even on the trip where it rained so much our tent filled up, we had a great time, and it's GORGEOUS there. So green!

Wow Amy Thank You :) The view from your deck last week looks like paradise! I'd give anything to go somewhere warm right now and not have to look at the 15 or so inches of snow we have :)

Looks like a fabulous way to spend a week, Amy! So glad you had a wonderful time and to hear that you feel so refreshed!

My favorite place to get away is the beach - I like to get up early and walk along the beach to catch the sunrise. It's the best part of my vacation every year.

Glad you had a great vacation, Amy! My favorite vacation spots? Just about any national Park where we can camp and hike. :-)

I forgot to answer the question, I don't have any favourite, or as I love travelling I can say I have so many favourites, but I love all the National Parks (I haven't visited them all yet) or any place where I can be in contact with nature, Have a blessed week.

Oh you lucky duck! Your deck looks heavenly! My fav place is ... well I'm not quite sure because we never go to the same place twice. Except Paris. Now that's a favorite!
