A magical day in 'The Land of Enchantment'

I've really debated about writing this post as I hate to bang on about our holiday so much. Especially as it's looking unlikely I'll find time to write a roll call yet again this week.

If you get bored, or think it's just too much, then please feel free to run away until I'm back down to earth and crafting again. I wasn't feeling good enough to make and schedule a load of makes beforehand as most of you know - but, I have a special piccie for you:
Yup folks, I finally got to meet Kay,(left and me right)! And what a truly lovely lady she is, like all of you super bloggers - so easy to connect with and I think (hope) we hit it off right away and had a great time. Len took the photo as we sat down to lunch at a terrific restaurant  for lunch - and, please note, those are our WOYWW badges being proudly displayed Julia, if you hop in here.

Those are Prickly Pear 'thingy wotsit drinks' - delicious and very pink :)

I can't hang around girls, I need to hop over to reception and print those dang shopping coupons/vouchers for tomorrow as we're meeting Kay again to go exploring locally followed by craft shopping.

So - I'm still wondering how the Playground tree house is coming along. Sigh, I don't suppose any of you are any good at mixing up adobe walls mix - it would keep us warm in the Winter!

    Oh, and the tree house is coming along nicely, and I'm now looking at chicken coop designs with Sam.

    Lovely pic of your "teacher training" course there!

    Ditto to everything everyone has said Di, don't you feel the need to apologise or excuse your holiday piccies and ramblings. It's lovely to see you having a good earned rest and enjoying yourself.

    Don't worry about the treehouse, we'll be warm as toast in there due to the duck and chicken feathers we gathered and stuffed into the wall cavity. Plus we'll be crammed in like sardines so will generate our own heat :)

    Happy shopping with Kay, take care xxx

    Ooh Di! The Land of Enchantment! Love New Mexico, beautiful Santa Fe and you must get to Taos too! How lovely that you met Kay! Can't recall the name but close to Santa Fe is an old farmstead type of place that you can look around, they filmed scenes from Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid there. Obviously after that your next stop will be Michigan??? Well, I mean, you're already in The States!!! Save you a separate trip you know!! Hardly dare venture into The Playground!

    Hugs

    Hi there. Just taken 5 mins off the sawing and joining to set my laptop up on the Pink & Decker! What a wonderful time you look to be having over there on your "teacher training" trip! I hope you got the recipe for our prickly pears! Maybe you can show LLJ and I how to make them next month!!
    Right, where did I put the electric saw now! Gotta go. Work calling me!
    Hugs
