Mr. Crabby Pants!!!

Hi peeps!

Well my son Marc & daughter-in-law Sarah left Saturday on their African Safari & will be gone for 2 weeks...nice!!! But with that come some downfalls, they don't have their luggage for a few days (they hope it's only a few days), they have only the clothes on their backs, tooth brushes, tooth paste & their Malaria meds but by the sound of her email they are moving through it. The first 2 nights they are staying in a resort with tree house rooms...I can't wait to see those pics, she showed me on the web & it looked awesome. All of the places that they will be staying at are resorts, I know who knew! I was thinking they were going to ruff it, its nothing like I first imagined it when they told me about their honeymoon plans. Their both adventurous ya see! They held off on the honeymoon so that they could be there for the animal migration season. Dan & I will be picking them up in Boston on the 22nd & I'm a little nervous about that since their flying in from Amsterdam. I'm sure everything will be fine. I know I still have not done a slide show on the wedding but I promise I will do that soon, I have some things to catch up on first, then I will do that. OK enough talk, lets go on to my card & project.

I had to make a birthday RAK for a friend so this is what I came up with, I also made lots of these Grocery List notebooks for some Christmas RAK's that I sent out recently. I was a bad girl & didn't get these out till after the fact, sorry peeps!

So here we go, all details are with pics. Take care & have a great day! Thanks for dropping by!

Great card and grocery list. When I first read your title, I thought you were going to tell us hubby was being crabby about you buying some crafting stuff. lOL

Rita your card is so darn cute and your altered grocery pad is fabulous! You have an eye for details and the finished results are fab!
What an amazing honeymoon for your son and his wife, even if they have to tough it out a day or two:) I'm sure they will be fine and try not to worry.
Big Hugs
