I’ll be going on vacation soon, and I must say that I TOTALLY NEED A VACATION!
Just the other day I ran into a neighbor who was perplexed on why I get up at 4:30am ‘since I am my own boss’ so I get to choose my hours. For some reason I think this neighbor thought that having a home office meant I get to watch soap-opera’s at home, he’s lucky I already had my coffee or I might had chewed his head off (<- ok, talking like this is cleaaarly a sign that I neeeed a vacation). I haven’t watched soaps since college (is Days of Our Lives still even on???), most morns are spent placing orders, blog preps, contacting stores, facebook check-in, answering emails, sorting tasks for my assistants, invoicing, and more admin stuff before I even GET to the actual “design part” of my biz. Once I am in the design-zone …. I am in my comfy happy place again. This past week was esp hectic since I was (well, still am) using SUPER POWERS turbo charging my multi-tasking skills (esp since I am short on a design assistant) in order to complete final touches on several designs before I can veg at the beach ……..
Did you see where I am going in the map? Yep, relaxing on an island. We even plan to have dinners ON the beach … with our feet in the white soft sands. Have you been to the island of Aruba? This is my first time visiting – hmmm, maybe I should get a dictionary, their prim language is Dutch (naaaah, no dictionary … I’m good at charades haha).
The maps above are from the decoupaged DIY that I installed in my bedroom, check out the how-to details here. And see if you can spot on the world map the last place you went to on your vaca. Where was it?

It’s amazing how many people think “working at home” mostly means watching TV in your PJs. Annoying!
Enjoy a much needed holiday!
Thanks Angela!
Enjoy ur vacation Ada!!
Thanks Julie!!! I’ll be back to my “un-cranky” self after the vaca
Oh, Ada an island vacation sounds wonderful. You deserve it! I hope you’re able to leave all your elecronics at home or at least use them for fun.
Only electronic is my phone’s phone. NO LAPTOP!!
How exciting! Think they’re might be some room in one of the suitcases for me??
Yep, come along! Funny, I am “aiming” to pack very light this time … like only bathing suits, shorts + tops, oooh, there is also dinner attire … ok, never mind, packing light is OUT the window
Enjoy your vacation, sounds amazing, hope you have a great book to read.
