Moments in Time

Well, we're off on vacation in another hour. Right now, two weeks seems almost two long, but I think it will go by fast. I miss Dixie already. Poor Ali cried when we left her last night. But Dixie is staying with a friend from work, Denise, who breeds and LOVES labs. Dixie can go swimming every day and, I think, will have fun. Hopefully she won't miss us too much either.

Before our trip, I finished all my ATCs for my upcoming swaps. I've added them to my Projects gallery. The project I am really excited about is my new, alterable "Memory Purse". You can see all the pictures (including before and after shots) in my gallery. Here's one shot. (You can see a larger view by clicking on it.
I LOVE how this turned out. I love the paper collection - Mulberry Meadow. All products are made by The Angel Company, with the exception of the "smile" sticker on the tag. That's by Creative Memories and I bought it from my friend & super CM consultant, Jill. :-)

I also finished reading "The Yacoubian Building". Great book. Written by an Egyptian for the Middle Eastern market, it's an interesting insight into that culture and way of thinking. There's an interesting side story that relates to the current conditions in the Middle East and the rise of the jihadist movement.

I'm off to do some last minute packing and then it's open road for the next 7 hours or so!
