I needed to make time to post on my blog so everyone knows I am alive and well. I'm doing it from my iPhone so hopefully it comes out right!! This was the family's 5th year back to Wildwood, NJ. We just can't get enough of this place and it seems to have become a tradition now. Every year we learn something new or see something new. This year we ventured out more driving into new towns and going to new stores 😊 boy do I love to shop when I'm in another state! Lol!! I also take this trip to do both of my kids school shopping b/c we find different things than what we have in our home town, but also we get them so customized garments while we are there. Hope you enjoy just a few of our summer vacation pics!! My babies love the beach!! We were there every morning 3-4hrs! I was enjoying myself too! Lots of R&R!! I love taking group selfies more than just a selfie of me! Took a 45min drive backwards to Atlantic City! No gambling...

I don't honestly can't remember buying it...even if it was a few days ago.  This habit is a disease I tell yeah!  I found this in the back of my closet. My mother bought this for me when I was 17 I think soooo its been there for about 13 years now.  I drafted a pattern from it.  Something free hand and quick.  I didn't want this to be an all day sewing project.  Just a little 2-hour project to use my machine. Put it on the fabric and started cutting.  I think that is ...
