Beaches, 4 Women, and a Bad Kitty...

As promised in my last post - Beaches, 4 Women and a Bad Kitty...  

I had the opportunity to travel with some amazing women to St. John.  It's truly hard to put into words how beautiful - fun - amazing - breathtaking ... this place is.  I feel the pictures do better than words. 

Welcome to St. John...

The view from the deck of our house...

...Me and My Partner in crime at the smoothie stand...

...On a boat...

...One of the beaches...

...At another beach (I think this looks like a swimming pool)...

...A little hiking by the water...

...A quick photo opportunity while out exploring the island (And for those of you who know Sarah and I well - she was definitely worried about my safety standing on the guard rail)...

...No words needed.

Every now and then - one must set aside things in life to live out an adventure.  There is no perfect time.  There are only incredible moments that happen when you take a moment.  Thank you to 3 amazing people for a trip that goes down in my books as one of the BEST EVER.  Thank you to the new friends that were made along the way.

And for those of you who need some adventure in your life - head to St. John and try out the Bad Kitty...

An Amazing Young Lady...

It is an honor to post this photo.  About 2 years ago, I received a hand written note from Kayla explaining her vision and desire to help families dealing with cancer.  She is truly a remarkable young lady - with an amazing spirit - and a vision to "Pay It Forward".

Through her hard work, she was able to make this donation to Team Vogel.

Please take a moment to check out her website.

Kayla - Thank you for being you!

Craft Camp for the Soul...

Some of my best days are making things...  I am sure this is a surprise to many of you (OK - maybe not).  This past weekend I had the chance to get together with some friends and craft away.  We created - exchanged - ate - had some beverages and a BLAST!  We even let the dogs join in our fun.  Every now and then - a little crafting is good for the soul and it really does wonders to one's entry way...

The new decor in the entry way...

...and a Christmas Tree.

And to bring cheer to your home over the holiday season, I will leave you with this photo.  Truly know caption is needed...  I am so excited to spend my Christmas looking at this tree.

Sending love and cheer to all.  Cheers!
