Well, Dan and I are taking a much needed break and soaking up some sun. Ted Cutts (of Stamper's Anonymous, Inky Antics, Art Gone Wild and also Darcie's) is so extremely busy that he doesn't get many vacations... or even days off for that matter. In addition to the normal day to day operations at the "factory", he's on the road exhibiting at trade shows several weekends each month. So when I told him we were taking a trip, he asked if he could squeeze in our suitcase. Well... I DO have a pretty big suitcase (which I get teased for a lot, lol!). So I decided, what the heck, let him come along in the suitcase. Here's where we took him:
See? Now isn't that nice? Time to relax, kick back, and catch a few rays. Ahhhhh. But, c'mon, it's the beach.... you gotta loosen up, lose the suit and tie, buddy!
There you go, that's the spirit! Now you're getting with the program. But a flannel shirt? Seriously?!?! You're not in Cleveland any more. C'MON, it's the beach... go put on your swimsuit!
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!? THAT'S what you were hiding under that flannel shirt?!? Holy cow!!! OK, you can quit posing now. Please? Dan wants to go swimming, so I'm going to go get my swimsuit on.....
Aaaahahaha! You didn't really think I was going to post my picture here, did you?! No, I'm definitely not in the same shape that Ted is. What's that? I Photoshopped WHAT? Yeah, you're right....I've never seen Ted wear a necklace either....
So, Dan is worried that Ted is going to be mad at me. ;) Nah, Ted has a pretty good sense of humor and hey, I already revised this post and deleted the photo I had of him from his Sumo wrestling days. You say you really want to see THAT photo? Well maybe in a future post.....
What's that, Ted? YOU THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO DISNEY WORLD? No, not this time. You should have asked Tim Holtz if you could go along in HIS suitcase... he just got back from there. Hey, Tim has connections and even got to go INSIDE the inner workings of the rides! http://timholtz.typepad.com
OK, I have to quit working so hard now and go work on my tan. Aloha! :) Darcie
This is TOO FUN-NEEEEEEEEE!!!!!! I just chuckled through the whole post!!!! ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Jan, Thanks so much, I definitely had too much fun with this one! I laughed so hard when I was creating it, that Dan kept coming into the office to check on me... I was in there alone and laughing my head off. You'll have to mention to Ted that Kathy JH here is interested in his comments.... :)

Darcie--I LOVE THIS BLOG--I laughed and laughed--I just can't laugh anymore--my sides hurt. Ted is laughing cause he saw it before I did and called me!!! I couldn't talk--eveyone here at work is wondering what the heck is going on in my office. Keep it coming girl--absolutely love what you are doing. Enjoy your much deserved vacation and I sure hope I see you sometime soon!!!!
Jan:-)
