Best vacation page

26 years ago

What is the best vacation page you have done? I have only done a few of the trip we took to Sea World in Florida, haven't started the Disney ones yet. The Sea World ones are just shots of the whales on ocean paper, with fish sticker, and sea horse die cut, really nothing to brag about so tell me about yours. Penny

I think my favorite vacation page was from our first camping trip to the North Georgia mountains. We had hiked up a trail to a waterfall. I put a waterfall paper (81/2x11) as the background on 12x12 white paper. I mounted a few pictures of my husband and children looking at the falls on browns and greens. Then I cut out my husband and boys from one picture and placed them at the base of the waterfall paper. It was remarkable like the one we had visited. It turned out to be one of my favorite pages, period. :) Hilary

Penny, your Sea World sounds cute. Can't remember what I did with mine. But I did a page from Disney, my daughter was 5 and I had 3 pics of her dancing with the pirate dude Mr. Smee from Peter Pan. Well, I hunted all over the place for stuff for that page, finally ended up with cloud paper with the wave paper cut for the bottom, die cuts of pirate ship, treasure chest which I punched little gold metallic dabloons (sp) and had those spilling out of the chest, and a pirate with a parrot on his shoulder. It came out pretty cute. And 13 years later she took another picture with Mr Smee again, geez she must like this guy. Also, did a page with the real large Micky and Minnie die cuts, they are one on each page holding a wide border strip at the bottom and I placed the pics on the border. Could only use 3 pics on each page because the die cuts are so big but it came out really cute.The colors are white, black and red.

What's the best way to water while on vacation?

Hi Alba, I feel your pain, LOL...I am going to visit my Sister in Las Vegas in Oct and my poor Hoyas/Plants are at my DH's mercy. At least you have your Mom to water yours, I'll trade you, LOL... I love him dearly, but my DH is NOT a plant person, he doesn't know the difference between a Hoya and a Jade plant,you might say he is "BOTANICALLY CHALLENGED", LOL and I'm so so afraid what I will find when I get home. I'm already giving him some prep talk and mini lessons. All he says is, wait till it gets closer, I won't remember all that...I am doomed :o( just kidding, I think I will just call him every day and tell him exactly which ones need/not need watering. That might be the best way... My only advise to you is to tell your Mom to water the plants when they are mostly dry, except some of the ones that you know prefer a little more moist. I'm a Hoya newbie myself, only started January of this year...Good Luck!I'm sure your Mom will take great care of them, feel sorry for me instead, LOL... Enjoy your vacation!!

Would love to hear from people who have used engineered wood. Is it better for us because there can't be a basement? In Maine so I am concerned about temp fluctuations and freezing temps for solid wood. Suggestions?

Congrats! We have a new one baby coming in 2010 also! It is still very early for our DD...but they couldn't keep it a secret! LOL We are Nana & Papa! When the girls got bunnies years ago, they said we were grandpa and grandma....nope, don't like that so we went with Nana & Papa! Only prob, the other grandmother is called Nana also...and long before the kids met. :/ Oh well, they will figure it out quick! DH has a VHS to DVD gadget that he bought last winter. He has all of our old tapes now on DVD and we sent many to the neighborhood kids...that now have their own kids...from years ago when there were 15 kids in our neighborhood! Great fun, then and now! We haven't had our family Christmas yet, until the 9th then we will have all the kids together....to me, that is the best gift of all!!

(The following is a message from DH the computer nerd about those that are having trouble with the video on the website) For those that are having trouble loading or watching the video, first let the whole video download before pushing the play button. The second is that you might need the newest version of quicktime. Thank you for all the comments. We left again this morning at 8:20 to go and watch my nephew play baseball an hour away. We then met my mom and 2 of my sisters and 2 nephews at the park and had chicken at the park and let the kids play.The also brought my baby Hayden back to me. My sis had his hair cut ( it was in his eyes and I gave her the okay) he looks like a big boy now. Of course today and tonight he wouldn't let me out if his sight, I sure missed my little baby ( not so little at 25 pounds at 11 months) Rhiannon declared yesterday that she couldn't be 5 until she had a birthday cake. So my mom made an angel food cake and brought it down so Rhiannon could turn 5:) Growing up my grandma always made us an angel food cake for our birthdays. We have continued the tradition with my mom and my kids and nephews. Stacie who went all day today again and still needs to do laundry

So many vacations, so little time. One I like that I did was a trip to D'world. I did a double page layout. Page on left was stopped for picnic on the way - title: ON THE ROAD AGAIN...with cars (pic of kids looking out cartoon car) - caption: "Are we there yet?" Then the picnic, with the sticker ants. Also kids picking oranges at an orchard.

Page on right - all Disney shots with captions, then last shot was kids squeezing their oranges and drinking orange juice at home.

I thought it turned out as one of my best layouts.
