Before I leave I have big news!! I've been accepted to be a vendor at JunkMarket Junk Bonanza! Woohoo! This is gonna be so much work...but soooo much fun:) It runs September 6th-8th in Medina, Minnesota. A western suburb of the Twin Cities. If you're in the area stop by and say hello!
Finally, I leave you with a weeks worth of eye candy. Remember this book (below) when I sent it off?
Here is the sign in page and the first page that I did.
My mushroom girl layout.
I did the work on the left, then it traveled to Lilia's gorgeous studio.
She did these pages. Stunning!
...and the left page. Then it traveled to Melissa's house. 
Here's her wonderful layout. Love these colors!!
She did the work on the left. Off it went to Cassondra's new home. 
Love Cassondra's work. Fab!! 
She worked on the left page and then sent it off to Julie out in Utah.
Wow! Absolutely gorgeous!! 
Love this last page she did with an Alice theme.
Then it came home to me! I will treasure this. Thanks girls for all the great art work! This round robin was so much fun.
Have a great week everyone!
Congratulations you!!! What a lovely surprise (well, I'm not surprised!) to start your vacation with! Have a great time! xo-Mel

ReplyDeleteHave a lovely vacation in San Diego. My husband and I lived there for the 1st few years of our marriage, and it's where my son was born, so I have the some of the best memories of my life from there :-)!
don't know if my comment showed up...but I said to have a great trip and give me a holler when you get back so we can talk about JustBe! Have a restful trip. ~Lia
ReplyDeleteAll those pages look just so scrumptious, I just want to eat them up!
ReplyDeleteIf your cabin is anywhere near the cabin on a lake that I stayed at for a week north of Duluth, you'll be coming back refreshed and rejuvenated. Go canoing for me :)
Kari, have a wonderful trip.
ReplyDeleteThe round robin book is quite beautiful!!! All of the work is very pretty...
Wonderful book! Such a treasure!
ReplyDeleteOh my! That book is fantastic!!! You are so lucky to have such a beautiful treasure. And Whooohooo for being accepted into the market...not that there was ever any doubt in my mind. I REALLY wish that I lived somewhere within a day's drive so that I could come!!!
ReplyDeleteHave a fun vacation. We will miss you, but look forward to some more yummy journal entries! smiles...

ReplyDeleteHi Kari, also wanted to add that I'm so excited about the Junk Market show in September. I can't wait to go. Also, I'm very happy that you were excepted as a vendor - maybe I'll see you there. Also, you inspired me with your art. I did a project and thought of you while I was doing it. I posted it on 7/9 if you want to take a look when you get a chance :o)

ReplyDeleteCome visit...Prairiehome.typepad.com
These are all beautiful!! What a fun project!!
ReplyDeleteHow serendipitous to be behind on my blog reading and come across your comment about going to "the cabin up north". I was just talking with my teen about growing up in Minnesota and how I figured out once that it was nigh impossible to be farther than about a mile from water there. Having grown up in the thirsty landscape of the west, he thought that was amazing. All my relatives had cabins "up north", either on the lake or deep in the woods for hunting purposes.
ReplyDeleteYour sister and her family live in San Diego - so does my son and his family. I wonder if they live near each other. (I know, San Diego is a huge metro area - I mean, relatively speaking)
Just beautiful and so inspiring!
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog through my daughter-in-law Mica (Garb-oodles) and I just love it!
ReplyDeleteIf you don't mind I am putting your link on my blog.
What lovely collages you have.
I am just starting that and I love it!
Thanks for the entertainment.

What a gorgeous book, absolutely beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful work.
ReplyDeleteI am involved in a group doing the same thing - starting this January. I hope mine turns out as well as yours did!!!
