Hydrangea Hugs and Sylvia Zet!

Happy Sunday from Sunny Florida! We finally made it to Vero Beach and will write more details next week!   I have to tell ya about our exciting time at the airport on Friday! Our flight was to depart at 12:48 and after arriving at the airport, we found out we had a two hour delay. Eeeeks, I hate delays and I always arrive at the airport the very last minute and Friday we were early...go figure right! So we are sitting there and I am playing on the my laptop when they announce "anyone willing to give up their seats and leave on the 9:30 flight will receive two free round tickets to anywhere Airtran flies. Well, it took me a total of 10 seconds to be at the counter.  Some big guy tried to cut me off! I might be only five feet tall  but let me tell ya! Don't get in my way when I am on a mission. I asked the ticket clerk "do you need two seats" and when she said those magical words "yes" immediately I started planning our next trip!! .Airtran flies to Aruba, Cancun, Puerto Rico, Key West and Dominican Republic and baby I am going!  We received four free round tickets (2 each),  2 $25.00 gift certificates to use with Airtran and you are allow to use it for your luggage and 2 $10.00 meal tickets for anywhere in the airport. Wowzie I was so excited,  I couldn't quit talking and had smiles from ear to ear! It  was like winning the lottery!

Paper: Stash 
Scrolls by Marianne's Design Creatable dies

Tip of the day: How to remove paper from the intricate detail die cut  (Marianne's, Spellbinders, etc) You have read to run the dies through your Cuttlebug using wax. Or to use a paper piercer to lift it out. This trick is so dang easy!Hold a piece of tape and apply the end of it to the die cut paper and lift! Like you were picking up a piece of lint! It comes out of the die with no problem!! No tearing or marring of the paper!! It is so dang easy to do!!!
