Hello Thursday
Tags:
Unpacking from two big trips to two totally different climates. I spent last week/weekend in Cabo, Mexico attending a wedding and spending time with good friends (the week before I was in Ireland). Awesome time on both trips but now the major transition back home is completely underway. And, as usual, I find myself with a head cold after all that traveling fun.
Voting. In Oregon we have a vote-by-mail system (we don't go to a voting place - it's all done by mail). I spent time yesterday reading through all the ballot measures (can you say gill nets, marijuana, casinos, death taxes) and doing my civic duty. I took a photo for Project Life.
Watchingthis interview with JK Rowling on The Daily Show. I picked up her new book, The Casual Vacancy, on the way home from Ireland and am about 1/2 of the way through.
Catching up on Project Life. Look for a post later today that includes the last three weeks.
WatchingAnnie with the kids and singing along just like I did when I watched it when I was a kid.
Working my way through my December Daily foundation pages. Hope to share those with you next week.
Getting ready for my sister and her sweet family to visit us next week for our annual Halloween get-together. So love when they are able to come for a visit.

isn't it a hoot to watch "Annie" as an adult? As a kid I always thought Miss Hannigan was really clumsy and drank lots of water from her bathtub. ;) haaa. welcome home :)

Haha Jenni, me too! I had no idea she was a drunk. Annie and Sound of Music are my two favorites - can't wait to share them with Emily.

Sounds like you have been really busy but how amazing is that to travel and then to document it for all of us who don't get the chance.
I am so excited for December Daily to start I can hardly contain myself.

Congrats on making it back! I was wondering if I had somehow made it off of your blog list. So glad you're back and sharing! It is so wonderful to get away and so hard to "return to normal" afterward, but I think it's all good!!!!

I started watching Annie with my kids last year. They loved it, but threatened to lock me in the garage if I didn't stop singing so loud. They also don't like my miss Hannigan impressions..... Weird!

I'm also looking at the Polaroid Z340 instant camera. It prints 3x4 photos. Haven't tried it yet but it looks cool.

Wow! busy girl. How do you do it?

Luckily the travel is usually more spread out - definitely wouldn't be my choice to do this all the time.

Is it hard or easy to return to ordinary days after being gone for so long?
Replies
It's a little of both :). Easy because I missed the kids and am happy to be back with them again but tough to get back into the work/daily life routine (and play catch up).

Have a great day.

Yayyyyyyyyyyyy the December Daily are on it's way!
I am so glad you are doing a smaller size. I use the 5x7 myself and am in love with it, so resizing the 6x8 has worked great. Though I am smitten with the Studio Calico December Daily Package, which unfortuantely I missed out on, I may live. Barely. It looks phenomenally precious in it's cuteness of size!
I know you are working on the foundation, maybe a rounded corner look of the days or outline? Either way, your designs are fab, so I am nailbiting till it comes out and will be first in line to buy..
I will post a few pics of my fave December Dailys tonight from 2011.
As always, thanks for the daily inspirations!
