Forced Vacation

Well, my internet has been down since last night and it won’t be repaired until Monday. 🙁 I had my mom type a post for me, but I now figured out how to login from my phone. (Thank goodness for iPhones!)

I’m supposed to be running a giveaway for a Silhouette Cameo right now, but that will have to wait. I guess this is a forced blog vacation! Hopefully I’ll see you all on Monday!

  1. I am so relieved that your forced vacation is nothing more serious, When I read your post title an image to you with a broken arm and a broken leg flashed into my mind. Thank goodness it is only the internet.

  2. I definitely think you deserve a vacation, so enjoy!

    But… just fyi… if you go to settings on your iPhone, you can turn on “internet sharing” (not sure of the exact word – im having another language in my phone), and then just plug it in to your computer if you have iTunes installed. Then you will be able to use internet on your computer again.

    I am doing it like this all the time when I’m travelling.

  3. Well, that’s one way to make sure you get something else accomplished, whether it’s family time, work time or just YOU time. You know we’ll be here when you get back!

  4. I noticed the beige wing back chair in your room in Lucketts for sale. If you have not already sold it, I would love to know the price. I have just the place for it and would make a special trip just to pick it up! Thanks, have a great day!

Lucketts Spring Market Wish List 2026
