These next few weeks are going to be super busy around here! Hooray :]

Later this week Zack and I are going on vacation for a while. We’re going to be with family the entire time — cottages and camping and lots of traveling. We’re very excited!!!!!!!!!! To prepare for our upcoming adventure I’ve got lots to do + share…

Here’s what you need to know:
  • All items in the shop are ready-to-ship
  • All orders placed before Wednesday {July 14} will mail this week Friday
  • All orders placed after Wednesday {July 14} will mail July 28
  • I’ll have limited internet availability towards the end of the week…
  • …But I have some AMAZING surprises set up while I’m absent :]

There is soooooo much to do to prepare for our big adventure! Ohhhh goodness. I’ve got lots and lots of orders to mail out — actually I’m sewing all day today to stay caught-up! I’ve got sunscreen, bathing suits & sweat shirts to pack. Tennis shoes and flip flops. Sunglasses and car charger cords and maybe some Sunkist Orange soda? :]

Yesterday we did some major cleaning. We had family come two weekends in a row and you know one of those weekends was a surprise visit :] So not much cleaning was done. I think “having a clean home” needs to be added as a love language. All the laundry is clean & put away. The linens have been swapped out. Floors washed, tops dusted, carpets vacuumed. I’m a happy girl.

PS. Since I work during the day in the same place as I relax at night seeing tiny snippets of thread all over the floor and scraps of fabric and cut fabric piled knee high and orders stacked kinda drives me nutso after a while. Hah!

Giveaway Day starts tomorrow morning — hope to see you back here bright & early :] xo!

    A vacation sounds beautiful! The boy and I are off to my grandparents house this evening. It’s going to be so nice to be in the country, swimming in the pool and eatting bbq. I find it so hard to not obsses over work that needs to be done. I’ll probably be bringing along my friend Singer for the night.

    Have a nice break Maggie! You deserve it!
