Hello Thursday! I finally feel like myself again – boy the jet lag and time difference when I returned from Europe kinda kicked my butt for a couple days!
I've been so super busy getting everything ready for my USED STAMP SALE this weekend – that I haven't had time to make anything or take photos of the new swap cards I came home with….so I thought I'd share some of the photos of the BRAND NEW PRODUCT cards from our Mediterranean cruise from last week – SQUEAL!!!
Below is a photo of two of my BESTIES!!! These are my vacation PEOPLE! I have more fun with these two – it's a constant giggle fest when we're together. So much so that I think our hubby's were completed nauseated on our mini van ride back from Florence, Italy last week – TEE HEE HEE! If you haven't seen them here before – meet Dena Rekow from Iowa and Barb Mullikin from Wyoming! Here they are checking out all the swap cards that Stampin' Up! posted on this great display board for us:
And here are some of the cards from the display boards:
This is the PRIZE wheel that we get to spin everyday – for fabulous prizes!!! I'll share those with you soon!
Our first port had us arriving in Naples, Italy. This was the spectacular sunrise I happened to catch when I went out on my balcony:
Our first excursion took us to Pompeii – this is the city that is at the base of a volcano. In 29 AD this entire city was buried in volcanic ash and frozen in time. It was a city of about 20,000 Romans and was left untouched until it was discovered. Archeologists have worked tirelessly for years uncovering it. There's still so much they haven't unearthed! It was really fascinating!
The architecture is really hard for me to fathom – that the Romans built all this without modern technology – true architects!
Our tour guide was priceless – filling us in on what we were looking at. This would have been a shop front.
This street shows the worn path of the steal wagon wheels in it and also the large rocks sticking up. These were used to cross the street. The streets were flowing with sewage – thus the need to "hop rocks" to stay out of the YUK! Can you imagine the stench?
Here's one of our pillow gifts…YEP…we get presents from Stampin' Up! every night of our incentive trips – OH MY!!!! Love being spoiled!
And what did I find in that adorable box? A Dooney & Bourke purse filled with new ribbon!!! I guess this is a designer name in purses??? Who knew? I'm not much into designer purses…but here's a funny – our daughter calls her dad a "clothing brand whore!" OMGosh – LOL!!! He really is…loves his labels!
Sorry about the fuzzy photo – I'm not sure what's going on with my camera. It's so infuriating – I might have to bite the bullet and get a new one…so many different problems in the last several months.
I'll be sure to share more photos with you in the coming days.
