Winter Vacation

Postcard from Paradise

Greetings, friends!

I am headed off to Florida (in fact my flight was at 5:00 AM - it was an early morning), for a little winter vacation and rest/relaxation. I'll be out of the office through Tuesday, February 17th, enjoying sun, sand, excursions, and quality time with my family (plus celebrating my birthday and Valentine's Day!)...so, this is my short public service/housekeeping announcement....

While I am out of my office/studio, I will have very limited access to correspondence, so please be patient if you send me a message, comment or have an inquiry that requires a response. All shippable items will be deactivated in my Etsy Shop. Shippable items (paper patterns/charts, project bags, Stitch Starter Rulers, etc.) will return on Tuesday, February 17th. All digital items will continue to be available. I will respond to all messages, comments and emails in the order received by Wednesday, February 18th. Thank you for your patience!

Please note - I have scheduled some content during my absence, so you will see a couple blog posts and social media updates. Here on the blog, I will be sharing the long over-due photos from my trip abroad last November.

I'll be back to visit with you again soon, when I will have a bunch of photos and experiences to share with you... 

For now, I'm off to enjoy the journey!

Overseas Adventure

I  am headed off to Europe (Rome and Barcelona and a bunch of stops in-between), for a little adventure and rest/relaxation. I'll be off the grid until Tuesday, November 18th, enjoying new sights, cultures, and quality time with my parents...so, this is my short public service/housekeeping announcement....

I'll be back to visit with you again soon, when I will have a bunch of photos and experiences to share with you... 

For now, I'm off to enjoy the journey!

Much Needed Break (and a Giveaway)

I  am headed off to New Zealand very early tomorrow morning (Thursday, October 27th)...I will be on the trip of a lifetime with my momma and second dad...we will be doing two weeks of hiking on the South Island - visiting the forests of the Routeburn Track, waterfalls of Milford Sound, mountains and glaciers of Aoraki/Mt Cook National Park, and have exclusive access to Doubtful Sound, Martins Bay and Okarito Lagoon....and too many other excursions to count...yep, I'll be off the grid for the next three weeks...so this is my short public service/housekeeping announcement....

PLANES, TRAINS, AND AUTOMOBILES GIVEAWAY opportunity - while I am on this very extensive trip, I will be traveling by many methods of transportation. To enter, leave a comment on how many individual types of transportation I will be using - for example a car would count as one, a motorcycle as one, a camel as another, and so on...your guess will be a number...only count each method once. Upon my return, I will post a collage image of all the types - those who guess correct will be entered in a drawing for a very special prize made by me! You can enter here or on the BRD Instagram, or on the BRD Facebook page, but please - only ONE guess - multiple guesses will be disqualified. If you comment here, please make sure you leave your email address if you are a NO REPLY or Anonymous commenter.

I have an update scheduled to post while I am away - one you won't want to miss - it is my day on the Poppie Cotton Sunshine and Chamomile Fabric Tour and I created a quilt, needlebook and project bag to showcase - so please stop by on November 2nd!

I'll be back to blog upon my return, when (I'm guessing) I will have TONS of fun and creative things to share with you! Have a wonderful Halloween and start of November....
