Excited for next week & summer plans

I am home for the rest of the summer. Yay! But we just got back from a 3 week road trip. WE flew into Georgia, rented a car and drove up the coast visiting all of the historic places to Boston, Massachusetts. Learned I hated to drive in NYC! And only had to circle Dupont Circle 6 times before I finally made it out in tears! Never again! But what an adventure! Happy to be home and ready to scrapbook!

 

I've been working this week. Not used to it, I'm sooo tired. I hope to catch up with the challenges this weekend. No more work planned so I guess I'll stay here at the camp ground, having fun for the rest of the summer.

 

@Lynne-Marie, I'm liking the slower pace since I also have CT LOs to do for two non-TLP designers, as well as house work to catch up on (no fun!). The challenges & games have been fun so far. I don't really have any summer plans, either, besides scrapping and maybe some gardening. I was actually at the greenhouse to buy a few plants today! Beaches near your house sounds amazing! I am surrounded by cornfields and no beach within a couple hours. And grandkids, too! How fun! My kids are 21, 18, and 15. This is the first 4th of July where my two older kids are away with their boyfriend/girlfriend so no real plans for the 4th of July, here in the US, either.

By the way, my name is Lynn, without an E and my middle name is Marie...so every time I see your name it makes me smile!

 

I think the pace is perfect, especially since I'm also attempting to do summer challenges at another store too. We're currently on summer break from homeschooling and I am enjoying having time to scrap.

My plans are to do as little as humanly possible because it is so hot out but my mom is on summer break from school and wants to go do all the things. I'm sure we'll have a few indoor field trips (glow golf, maybe?) but I just want to breathe. 2025 has been kicking my butt and having nothing to do/be responsible for sounds fantastic. My son thinks we need to do family Mario Party every single day and, as long as I don't have to scrap each and every party, I am on board!

 

Nothing special this summer as my knees hurt and can't really walk long or sightseeing. Hubby will go to Korea for work first and then stay a bit to meet family but I won't join. It's just too difficult to travel other than with a car lol
IT's darn too hot anyway, both Japan and Korea soooo plenty of time to stay home and scrap, design... hopefully.

 

Lynne - Marie, you live in such a beautiful area. I loved visiting there years ago. I plan on getting in lots of road biking and spending time with family. Time at home is actually a nice change since I've been traveling so much these last few years. Thanks for sharing and enjoy!

 

I do like the pace, but I really must try and limit the number of kits I'm using - however, the store search is working great to search by kit name to link the credits. It's a bit different from the main home page as it seems to be quite specific vs the search in a designer's store. I'm pretty much caught up with Week 1 - I did re-do my siggy, but there was something in this BYOC release that I like better than the older element I used, so going to tweak that before I upload and change it.

I'm excited to see what adventures we will tackle next week.

 

My oldest daughter is 21, a senior in college this year. My boys are 18 and 15. I still can't believe they are that old!

 

@Lynne-Marie OMG!...I live in New Brunswick!...What a coincidence!......I did not know there was anybody here living in the same province as me......

 

@Lynne-Marie ...I just moved a few days ago to my new apartment in Moncton...I used to live in the Parkton area of Moncton all my life...so this is quite an adjustment for me...Are you familiar with Moncton at all?...It is the North End of the city... but I don't drive or have a car anymore since my hubby passed away and I had my broken neck and arm...Maybe we can find a away...That would be great!... ...

 

The pace is great! I have several work trips this summer, so not as much time home to scrap as I would prefer, so being able to do the games while away, and the scrap challenges when I'm home makes me so grateful it's only 2 scraps a week!

 

I like that it's just two a week, I am so busy at the moment as my two littles break up in school in two weeks for our big six week break and I never work during the day during that break so it's all systems go at the moment trying to meet important deadlines, it's okay atm but I'm not where I'd like to be, need to buckle down seriously on Monday and try and figure a few things out!

We have had so many school appointments and events and what not, and a few more in the calendar, it's a big end to the school year as both my children are starting new schools. I'm looking forward to a week in Devon and a week in Wales during the holidays and in-between that my Son has lots of Sports Camps and my daughter will get lots of 1:1 time with me and we will do various activities together.

I have made a start on the challenges and hope to be able to participate more!! Love this Summer Camp!

 

I'll be home for most of the Summer too. My Momma turns 70 in August, so she is coming to Tampa and I am taking her on a 4 day cruise. I'm excited to spend most of the Summer at home - working mainly, but I'll be happily pootling about in the garden and at my various hobby desks.

 

I am here too for the Summer, staying cool in the AC

 

I am enjoying the slower pace of these challenges... means I can slot them in between all the other stuff I have on my to do list.
