Greek Isles Cruise, Part III

Part I
Part II

Our last port in Greece was the island of Corfu, which was completely unlike anything I expected from Greece.  It was lush and green and very tropical.

Greek Isles Cruise, Part I

Hi everyone!  This weekend I’m going to regale you with tales of my Greek Isle cruise!  We sailed on the Royal Caribbean Splendour of the Seas and departed from Venice, Italy on June 14th.  Two of our best friends, Feisty Tourist and her husband, accompanied us.

Venice was lovely.  It was not my first time to the city so there was not pressure to see everything and do everything.

If you haven’t seen the Sex and the City movie yet: RUN, don’t walk, to your nearest theater!  I thought it was fabulous!

3,000

It’s not pink, and it’s not wedding, but it’s a HUGE moment.

John Smoltz accomplished a feat at 7:42 ET tonight that only 15 men before him have done - he struck out his 3,000th batter.  All of the strikeouts came while in an Atlanta Braves uniform.  That’s special, people.

He’s my hero.  :)

Pinwheels

I made these this weekend for a baby shower and loved them.

I also made these and didn’t love them so much.

Has anyone made these and actually had it work?  I’m thinking you need WAY more than 8 sheets to make them this full.

Side note, incredibly excited about pink week.

Busy Friday

It’s been a busy Friday in this household.  I took the day off work to organize for a shower I’m hosting tomorrow.  I also picked up a few goodies for a birthday gift.  A great day not spent in front of my work computer.

I put together a book for the first time ever.  It turned out good, not perfect, but definitely good. I went from this:

Have a great weekend!

Cravings

I’m craving a reason to throw a party.  Any suggestions for convincing my hubby?

I’m Back!

Wow, after 6 days away for meetings, I was SO ready to come back home yesterday afternoon.  Thankfully the hubby was able to join me on Thursday. I went a little crazy at Paper Source (note to owners:  please open one in Birmingham, or let me franchise).

Oddly enough, the hotel had a gorgeous ballroom.  If you’re interested in a hotel type venue in Boston, this might be perfect for you.

I’m grateful to be back to my life and the blog.  I missed this!
