{Do you remember the Fisher Price Little People? I have fond memories of playing with these little wooden pieces. I think this is just adorable! From an Etsy seller named HappyTownUSA, coincidentally from Washington D.C. which is where I am headed!}

What to take to ArtBliss?

I

have packed and re-packed 

again

Never sure 

that I have enough.

Certain I forgot something.

(Jeanette will have me covered.)

Starting my vacation

...NOW!

I am off to D.C.! I am going to take the ArtBliss Workshops with artist Stephanie Lee!

I get to meet new people, including some treasured blogging friends!

See you next week!

What is the craziest thing that you have packed in your bags for a trip?
Do you think they will let me through security with a bag filled with assorted wire, a box full of beads and found objects and a kit full of pliers?
Have you ever been on a trip all by yourself? Where did you go? What did you do?

Enjoy the day!
