Our Thanksgiving!

We spent our Thanksgiving in FL with the Gregov side of the family!

I am back to visiting one of my favorite places (my mother-in law Carolyn and Anna Maria Island)
It could have been a bit warmer but was just what the doctor ordered...a vacation!!!


My crew!

That's us!

We all had such a great time. We always do!




We also took our great friends with us...Debbie and Kenzie!



It was so fun to share one of our favorite places with friends!




The water was a bit chilly if you were above the age of 13...otherwise perfect swimming conditions!!

My loves!

Gotta love that white sand!

So much fun!!!  Thanks Carolyn for having us!!

Now it time to get ready for the holidays...I have been busy already!!!

Simple but nice!

 "It's the North Pole!,  "No it's not!",  "Yes it is!",  "Then where's the snow?"!!!!

Sand sculpture Fun on Anna Maria Island!

One more joy of being close to the beach...

Sand sculptures!
There were some amazing ones but the kiddos loved this alien sculpture a lot!
Yes...this is all sand
The joys of the beach!!

It's so hard to keep busy...NOT!

So, after the kiddos are all dropped off at school and in between unpacking boxes, I head out for some "me" time.

This is my new fav!

Biking along the beach.  Out on Anna Maria Island, there is a sidewalk that runs along the beach.
It's a perfect recipe to a perfect morning!
The path!

The view!!


It's so easy and convenient!
It helps me physically but also mentally...
I love breathing that moist gulf air-it fills me
I love how there is no end to the view-the hope it brings
I love watching the birds-the freedom

Come join me!~

"Dad, watch this..."

Big waves are so cool! 
The other day we were in this exact same spot and there were no waves at all.   Very calm. 
This was so much more fun!

My Bags!!!

I haven't talked about my bags for awhile.  I got a bit burned out near the end of the school year.  I did get my mojo back but it was right before we were off to FL.

Carl did make a trip back home to get our beloved cat and some stuff to stay here awhile but there was no way I could have him pack up my sewing machine, my entire stash (along with the scraps that provide endless projects), my threads,  my fusible interfacing, etc, etc, etc.  Remember, I have to take back what I bring down...our van is only so big and I think the kiddos might complain a bit having to carrying bolts of fabric on their laps.   

But...I miss my machine.  I miss my stash.  I really miss making great bags. 

I did bring a few with me.  I have realized that I use my bags a lot.  I love that!

So here is what I have with me...

My purse...very beachy fabric and I didn't even know that I would be down here all summer. 



My Lipstick bag with misc. other "mommy" things.  This one goes back and forth between all the other bags.

The project bag...always bring a project.  My momma taught me well!!

The very important Beach bag!!!

and the other important bag...The kids' wii bag!

I couldn't make it without them and it makes me happy to know that I am using something I made.

I am inspired!!!!
I have gotten some ideas for all things "beachy".  It has to do with the million (almost literally) Dollar stores and beach towels...a dollar for a towel, sometimes 2.

I may have to find a new machine.  Maybe someone will rent me a machine for the next 3 1/2 weeks...hmmmm!

I also got sea shells on the brain...I see some shell projects coming too!  No sewing required there...just a glue gun though...the kiddos wouldn't mind carrying that!

More FLorida fun pics to come


Life's is a.lovely...at the beach!
