Thoughts of a Grasshopper

Most likely you just came here from Robbie's blog, InkedX2 .   Aside from the traditional sized card, this is my next favorite size to make.  The card is 3-1/4" x 6-1/2".  The first time I made a card this size was June '09 with the Blooming with Love stamp set.  I haven't been able to part with that set because of that card.  Crazy!  I like today's card just as much.  Stamps:  Friendly Phrases CS:  VV, Pool Party, Cajun Craze, Comfort Cafe DP Ink:  Cajun Craze Misc.:  Beautiful Wings embosslits, Adorning Accents EF, Pearls Your next stop on the blog hop is with Janice at Stamping with Janice .  Enjoy!!

We were on vacation for two weeks.  When we were at my cousins house for a cookout, I was taking pictures of the family and my daughter didn't want to look at the camera.  I continually took pictures until she would look and smile.  At least I didn't start singing some made up song because then she would have been embarrassed.  I don't know why they don't like my songs. Some day I'll get to all of the other pictures and make pages for them.  We went to DC to visit friends and to go to Arlington National Cemetery and the Mall with all of the monuments/memorials.  We were stationed there from 01-05 but the twins don't remember too much of the sights.  The older two remembered the places we visited. We also went to Massachusetts for a couple of days and did the usual things we do when visiting there (family, shopping at Bob's, duck pin bowling, Faneuil Hall, etc.) and we went to the JFK Library.  Then we went to Pennsylvania for the shopping and tour
