This photo was taken almost exactly one year ago at the Pella Iowa tulip festival...oh my I have never seen such big, colorful tulips in all my life!
The time has come my friends...next week we are heading to ITALY! I can't even believe it! Are my bags packed...nope. Do I feel a bit overwhelmed...yep. Am I going to miss my baby girl...miserably (at least i know she'll be in the best hands possible...my own mother dearest). But this is something Josh and I have been looking forward to since he got back from his mission, so saying I am excited is a bit of an understatement!
And don't worry, I have some fun color lists and guest posts scheduled for you while I am abroad! To start off my very last weekend as a "never been out of the U.S." gal--here is a fun color list for you! And TOMORROW I will be announcing the winner for THIS giveaway--
1. Find the perfect color pallet
2. It's a hand?
3. For next Easter, this is a must!
4. Laduree Macraons anyone?
5. The best colors are in the sky
6. Strawberry colored beach curls
7. Colorful photographs (i need a better camera ha)
8. stare at the dot...now this is just crazy
Have a splendid weekend!
OMG I am so excited for you! Italy! I spent a couple of days in Rome by NYE. I actually wrote about it, since I had the priviledge of having locals taking me to the hottest spots in town -you know that, as a tourist, you usually miss stuff. Rome is a dream, it's like you are walking through a fairy tale! Honestly, you couldn't have picked a better destination for your vacations!
ReplyDeleteI look forward to hearing about your experiences there!

Baci!
Thanks Elsa...we are super excited! You'll have to let me know where you went in Rome, so I don't miss anything! :-)
DeleteHow fun!!! My hubby went to Missouri on his mission... I guess someday he'll want to take me there and show me all of the places he lived (i.e. the Ghetto). ;) Have so much fun in Italy!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a happy, colorful picture!! Have a wonderful trip to Italy!! My husband served his mission in Vegas and we went there a few years ago. Why couldn't he have served somewhere fun like Italy??!! ha!
