Leaving on a Jet Plane ...

... don't want to pack my stuff again.

{Apologies to Peter, Paul & Mary for taking liberties with those lyrics.}

This is our last morning in Jamaica & this afternoon we're on a plane back to Miami. I don't want to leave, which I think is the perfect time to head home - you never want to stay in a place so long you can't wait to get home. The vacation loses a little bit of sparkle that way, I think. Right now I should be packing, but I am kind of procrastinating by hacking the chef's wifi & looking at emails. Lucky for me, Mr. Lifeguard is out of the room so he has no idea that I am not working! ::insert mad scientist laughter here::

I just wanted to remind everyone that tomorrow is the August Virtual Crop for the Beachiversary. That's right - it's been one year since I started my online scrapbook & art community - the site went live on August 23, 2009. Crazy! It's been a wild ride & despite the fact that I am in Jamaica today, we are having an online party tomorrow.

The live portions of the show will be broken up into two segments to allow for participation from all members. The first segment will be from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Eastern time {GMT/UTC-4} and the second segment will be from 9:00 p.m. to midnight.

I will be spending the flight thinking up challenges for you. There's a good chance that I will be cranky & that the challenges will be especially difficult as a result. ::insert more mad scientist laughter here::

See you tomorrow!

  5. Tiffany, at your mom's for a whole month!? That is a long time to spend with family ~ no wonder you're ready to leave & never come back! :D Have fun in Utah! I'm allergic to camping, personally, but I hope you have a good time!

    Amy, I hope to see you there! I have lots of ideas for ways to use supplies "off the page", so to speak, that I think will be lots of fun to try - bookmarks, letterhead & the like. I'm looking forward to it!

    Tara, you should know by now that asking me to be nice & go easy on you for the challenges never works ~ come on now! :D They will be fun, though, I promise!

  10. Thanks for the warning your headed home! But in all honesty I've missed you and glad you had a fabulous vacation you deserve it (sometimes. Wow it's been a year for the Beach~~~~ Congrats on such a great accomplishment it is by far my favorite craft home on the web! I can still remember finding the beach soon after I realized there were sites on the internet related to scrapbooking and the like ~~~ I was so internet green it makes me laugh so it should give you a hysterical laugh. Fly safe and get ready to take crap I've been hoarding it for a whole week I'm ready to burst.
