Travelling. Destination: Whistler

 

It's 1 A.M. and I'm up.  I Spent all day cleaning the house and getting last minute things done before we leave for our trip.  We leave in just a little over 10 hours.  We are going on our yearly family trip to Whistler. 

Our entire family goes on this yearly trip -- it's a nice traditon that our kids can look back on when they get older.  I believe it's the yearly trips that count the most and the ones that they will always remember.  The most memorable moments in my childhood happened on trips we took as a family on a regular basis.  Tradition -- its what family is all about and it is from these traditions that most of the family stories that get passed on from generation to generation stem from.   We all look forward to this trip.  I could tell both the kids were excited to go as they packed their gear yesterday.  On the way up we will stop for a bite in Squamish and explore Shannon Falls.  Here we are on this same trip last year --  the kids mugging it up for the camera in the village.

I'll  be back in Vancouver on Thursday and I will be finalizing the details and projects for my scrap and card event which will be hed on Saturday, August 7th.  This event will be held at the Beacon Cove Condos in Richmond on the corner of No. 1 Rd & Blundell, behind the Esso.  It will be an all day event starting at 9:30 and ending at 4 PM.  There will be 2 classes: a 2 page scrapbook layout from 10 - 12 (summer theme) and a Christmas card class in the afternoon from 1:30 - 3:30 PM.  Amidst all that, I will have toonie stations setup around the room where you can create a project for $2!  A lunch option is available for those who want.  If you live in Richmond and would like info on this event, please contact me by clicking on the "email me" button on the left margin.  I'll add you to the email list when I return on Friday. I'll also reply to any email queries when I get back, so if you don't hear from me right away.....you know why!

In the meantime, here's a sneek peak of one of the projects.  More pics to come this weekend.
