Orlando to Miami -- Weezer Cruise - Day 1

It seriously feels like I have been waiting for weeks for this to come, and we are HERE!  We checked in at about 11 am, and our rooms aboard the ship were not going to be ready till after noon, so we chilled out on the deck overlooking Miami.  It was really relaxing already.  We ate some food.  We finally got to take our stuff to our room, and then we had to head to our muster stations for a safety briefing and after what happened with the Costa Concordia, I wanted to make sure we were there.

After the safety briefing, we headed upstairs to the Lido deck right away and managed to get a fantastic spot to view the outdoor sail away show.  Weezer was AMAZING!!  As if I expected anything less than that!

Seriously my favorite band . . . ever . . . 

 
 Captain Cuomo!  Pretty sweet hat.  He wore this for a bit and signed it for the dude who owned it

 After the show concluded, Mic and I went to see The Antlers in the Palladium Theater.  We were both falling asleep and tired though, so after a bit, we went back and crashed.

HANNA PREVIEW: For the Soul

This set is totally cool! I have not seen anything like it! I think it is perfect for a sympathy card, a thinking of you, a little hand out at church, maybe even for cards at Easter (thinking ahead here) etc. It is so CUTE! Hanna looks so angelic and well, to be completely honest, reminds me of my little sister (not sure why). I used the sketch at Card Positioning Systems (#83) for the layout. I was going for a "touched by an angel" look on the main image (and I think I kind of created that.) I used vellum to overlay the image to give it that glossy fuzz (soft focus).

My Decade Later Comeback and Playing Catch Up

Hello friends, It's been awhile and I kind of dropped off the face of the planet since moving to Oregon. I got busy with growing four babies into teens, and attempting to hold together a marriage with a partner who was working out of town for the most part. It was a lot! Truth be told, I have been spending most of my time over on Instagram which allows for more quick picture and caption posts (@the.amanda.sewell), but I really, genuinely miss having a journal of our adventures, so I'm back.  Some changes, my ex-partner moved out in October of 2023 (after 23 years of marriage, who would have thought?) and I am on a new, single mom adventure with the fabulous four. Luckily, they are adjusting to the changes well as we navigate this challenging time as a family team. Things are still in flux and hopefully at the end of all of this, the dust will settle and we will end up landing on our feet. Because of this change, I needed to go back to work and after not working for the past lo...
