planning and plotting a road trip 101

Good morning my fellow homemakers! 

Well, I am on the road once again!  My scrap friends and I are heading to PARADISE, CA for a fantastic crop at Paradise Scrapbook Boutique! 

I have been hearing a MAJOR BUZZ about this scrapper haven for quite some time now in my circle o' friends and lemme just say... I SIMPLY CAN NOT WAIT TO GET THERE!  Now that you are totally jealous, check out this web link!

So, now I am on a countdown of 27 hours before blazing off into the mid-day sunshine tomorrow, with our first stop in COLFAX, CALIFORNIA! 

Wait, what?  Yes, in my travels, I take the LONG route.  No, that's not true.  :)  I am actually taking MamaMia along for part of the ride up to "the designated drop spot" of Colfax so that she can be foot-loose-and-fancy-free with her sister up in northern Nevada for over TWO WEEKS!  Look at MamaMia go!

The Hubster and The Girl will be flying solo for the weekend and I bet they are both Praising Jesus that there will be some silence in The Homestead this weekend!  Can I get an "Amen, Sista"?

And then Scrapbook Que Sera Sera, who will be my WingWoman for the weekend, and The Homemaker will head over to Britt's (aka The Niecie) Paisley Lane Design Studio for some pre-scrap PARTYING!  Aw, don't get your knickers in a knot... it's all innocent fun.  The Homemaker has a reputation to protect here!  By the way... The Niecie has her own blog THAT IS ABSOLUTELY AHHH-MAAA-ZINGGGG!

In the meantime, I am answering questions like I am in the hot seat at The Inquisition!  MamaMia is on a roll with her list upon list to be organized!  Whew!  She hit me with Question Number 1 whilst I was mid sip of my first Mug O' Life and it wasn't even 7a.m. yet!  But she is excited and really rip roaring ready t' go and I am excited for her excitement!

So, for now... I'm off to get appointments and errands done.  Heavenly Father, I pray that this day brings much excitement and much glory to You.  I pray that this trip breathes new twinkle into the life of my mom.  I pray my daughter has a good day wearing her "out of her box" outfit to school and that my husband is safe at work.  I pray all in Your Glorious Son's Name.
And all God's children said, Amen.
