We’re going WHERE? The surprise of all surprises!

It’s been a little while since I’ve posted on my blog and I have the BEST excuse in the world, just wait and see.

When Marty & I knew our 25th Wedding anniversary was coming up in November this year,  we chatted about where and how we might want to celebrate such a great milestone. I must’ve hinted at cruises for about a year before, but was truly happy going anywhere together. Just getting away from work/business, and having a break together was going to be amazing no matter where we ended up.

But then … a couple of months out, Marty started acting sneaky and told me to book off a certain 2 week period in my calendar and not to ask any questions … Hmmm. Okay then. So I TRIED so hard not to snoop and be a sticky beak, but I sure was just the slightest bit curious.

All right then, I was a great BIG bit curious, and began to suss out the kids a little bit and even brain-stormed with friends of ideas where we may be going. Would you believe, my kids (age range 14-21) knew all the details, but did not let on ANYTHING!

My ideas?

My ideas running around in my head were:

• a cruise off the coast of NSW/QLD, or maybe some islands;
• a trip to Melbourne to see our 2nd son, who lives there now;
• a trip to Tasmania or New Zealand, perhaps?!

I was not prepared for the surprise ahead, and the best way to give you a taste of the surprise factor and how I reacted, is to give you a behind the scenes look at how it unfolded …

Oh My GOODNESS!

I know, right?! So over the next few weeks I hope to show you some of what we saw and some of the places we went – MANY of them furniture and antique related. There was SO much I loved about these beautiful places.

But amidst those posts, I am back into the swing of things here at home after our whirlwind trip – we’ve even had a graduation in the family in the last week, also.

So I’ll be looking forward to sharing more painting tutorials and tips and sharing new products with you. OH, I also have something special I’ve been working on behind the scenes for Christmas that I can’t wait to show you!

Who’s decorating for Christmas already?? Are you a December 1st person, or do you sneak in a little decorating in November?

Would love you to add a comment below!
