the weekend

I'm missing these ladies.

Weekend before last I was able to meet up with Becky, Lisa and Jen. It was one of those weekends we had planned for months and then it got here and of course flew by! That must have meant we had fun, right?

There was pool relaxing

junk finding

 (best 25 cent chairs ever.)

(thanks, Jen, for the globes!)

late, late nights

good eating

yum

double yum

and lots of creative talk.

As I started my 7 hour drive home Sunday (while listing to Harry Potter for the first time! Still not a huge fan. Don't hate me.) I was inspired...not only in scrapbooking, but inspired overall in life. Does that sound strange? I came away wanting to be more creative in everyday living and in my crafty endeavors as well. I also pretty much wanted to set a match to my scrap space and start over ;)  Becky's scrap room is so fun and I confess--I sat behind her desk for about 20 minutes.

It's exciting to talk creatively with creative people, to share ideas and chat with those that GET IT. It's amazing how you can meet up and instantly bond and talk until your eyes won't stay open any longer.  I love when women can come together and encourage one another and make each other feel valuable, because goodness knows we tear ourselves apart enough. We certainly don't need anyone else to do it for us. {stepping off soapbox}

Looking forward to when we can meet up again.

School starts this week. Sigh. How is it that summer is over? I'm mourning the loss of my carefree, no setting the alarm days, but looking forward to a few hours a week of solo time. One more trip to the store for school supplies and we should be set. I think.

And with that I am off to squeeze in one least park play date. Enjoy your Monday!
