Before I got busy packing and sorting, I finished up my tags for Elizabeth's Summer Tag Swap. We used vintage postcard images to make our Wish You Were Here tags. The little boy and girl image is a digital scan of a vintage Valentine. I altered the grill to say "wish you were here".
We really will be driving California soon. We'll be driving to Arizona and on to New Mexico. It will be our first long road trip together. I'm a terrible passenger so I hope my hubby will still let me move into our new home when we get back. Maybe I can pack some of those little bottles or something.
Right now, I am packing and packing. I'm off to get more boxes this morning. We cleaned the garage this weekend so we would have room to put the boxes from the house. The garage is already half full of boxes!! And that is after we took two truck loads and a car trunk of stuff to the goodwill. I swear the junk multiplies in there.
Have a great trip! Love the Summer tag! Mmm sounds very familiar that packing and especially that multiplying!

Hi Betty:
I loved the home you are moving out of : )
Will get lost on a country road in the rain looking for this home? : )
How exciting for all of you!!! Does your Mom like the new home?
Is it close to your daughter or son?
A different town?
Listen to me : )
My operation is put off until next Friday the 18th. My brain is aching from all of the stuff : )
I wish I had been there so you would not have had to take so much to the Goodwill
: )
Have a wonderful holiday driving the highways and by ways!!!
love & peace
Maybe your daughter in law will bake you some cookies to take with you : )

Betty,
Your tags are super. I love the sweet little girl and boy and their vintage appeal. And it is so cute the way you have tied them into your road trip !
I hope you have a great getaway ! You certainly need it after all the work you and yours have done on getting ready for the move.
It sounds like you are doing a great job clearing things out. It is always such a monumental job - moving house ! Having the vacation will recharge you batteries !
Take care and save journey with big hugs, Janice

Love your little boy and girl tag. Will be doing a road trip with my hubby this fall. We are from PA and we will be traveling west thru the northern states and coming home thru the southern states. Would love to know where you got the post card. Have fun!
