A little r & r....

What could be better in the dead of winter than to go somewhere warm and sunny for a little rest and relaxation? Only if you get to go with a bunch of really good friends and their kids too! My husband (aka; Gary, the Captain, Mr. Tammy Tadd, Mr. Hunkalicious, or Lampchop) and I took our 2 youngest kids; Haley and Garrison to Disney World along with our friends John and Mary Lynn and their kids Ashley and Miles. It's been an annual event for us the past 4 years. This year our friends Mike and Sherry came and brought their grandson Gideon too. Let me tell you, it is so much more fun when you take little kids! We had a great time just watching Gideon! He squealed with excitement on more than one occasion and made us all laugh.  Here we are about to go in to see Nemo! He loved it!

What I love the most is the green grass, flowers and trees! I am always so excited to see roses and all of the flowers blooming in FEBRUARY! It never ceases to amaze me. It's like a whole other world! How can this be? We just left Chicago where everything is shades of gray, brown, and white! There is no color anywhere. Two hours later we get off a plane and it's like paradise! I know you girls in California that are reading this don't appreciate my wonder at all of this, but just come visit us in Chicago right now and you'll know why I'm so excited about this! Not that the midwest isn't a great place, but this is my least favorite time of the year here. I'm tired of winter! It's snowing today and they're predicting snow off and on for the rest of the week. I'm really ready to go back to Florida already! 

This was my world on Sunday. Sitting by the pool sipping a cold drink and soaking up the sun while the kids all swam. Aaaaaagh...... I might have to put this picture on my screen saver for awhile. 

 

Anyway, back to reality! It's cold and wintery here but I am back to work in the studio and trying to catch up on everything I missed while I was gone. Back to work on the new book we are releasing this spring! Over the next couple of months I will start giving you sneak peaks at the projects that will be in the book, and I will be having some of the girls here at TTD sharing projects and tips on my blog. Thought you might like to hear from someone other than just me! They all have some really great ideas, and a lot of creativity to tap into among this group of women. And let me say how thankful I am to have such a great group of ladies that I get to work with everyday, that can take care of anything and everything while I am gone and I didn't have to worry about a thing! That is truly a blessing! Thanks girls, I appreciate all of you and your committment to our business.

May you enjoy abundant life, with God first, then family, and friends! 

That's all for now!

Your FL pictures look warm and sunny. It's nice here, but not warm, but of course would be down right balmy to you!

Can't wait to see what you're all up to there. xo
