I've been thinking it's Tuesday all day... so let's pretend it is!

I'm going to go live this afternoon, but it will be a little later than usual as I need to make my way through the rest of my email and clean up this desk!

See you at 4 p.m. EST for a little crafty fun!

I just logged in to stampin' Up and guess what I found! Free Shipping on orders placed Thursday, June 11- Saturday, June 13!

Ahhh, we slept in our own bed last night after a very long day of travel, but thankfully there were no glitches -- it just takes a long time to get from the complete opposite side of the country!

But to catch you up (not that you asked 🤪 I honestly like to write everything down while it's fresh so I have details when I am ready to scrapbook), Saturday was an at Sea day and we went to see the Queen tribute show, "We Will Rock You." We saw it last time on this ship, too... it is a really great show. Otherwise, Saturday was a lot of nothing but eating, drinking and napping! 🤪

Earlier in the week we learned that the 2028 incentive trip will be a cruise of the Mediterranean coast so I snapped a picture of the ports of call for that trip in the hospitality room... Nate and I are very excited about that one!

Each day the trip acheivers got to spin the wheel in the hospitality room for a free (product) prize. So I included a picture of all my loot from the week!

On Sunday it was off the ship one last time to Victoria, British Columbia. We had a "bye-bye" brunch Sunday morning before getting off the boat and Nate and Dan did the "ifly" on the boat before we docked in B.C.

Nate and I then took the shuttle into town and did a little shopping, explored the downtown waterfront and had ice cream before heading back to the ship.

Overall, we had amazing weather all week and an amazing trip! And I'm fortunate enough to to say that I earned the 2027 trip to Costa Rica while I was on the boat!!

So thank you all so much for following along and thank you even more for watching my videos, shopping with me and supporting my business. I don't take it lightly that I wouldn't be on these amazing trips if it weren't for YOU! Thank you so very much! ♥️

I'll be doing laundry, cleaning and getting ready for "real life" again today so if you want to sneak in an order for my mystery BOGO special today - there's still time - but today is the last day! 🤪 (Just shop in my online store and I'll send you a bag/box of goodies of gently loved goodies equal to what you spent in my store 🥰♥️)

Friday we started the day by doing a 360° turn at Dave's Glaciar. The views were spectacular and the blue of some of the icebergs was amazing!

Next, we stopped in the port of Juneau!

We didn't plan any excursions for ourselves this time around. We just chose to explore the ports on our own (or with friends)!

We are in port once again after a day at sea yesterday! Let me catch you up on our festivities on Thursday when we were in Skagway, Alaska!

Stampin' Up treated us to a trip on the White Pass Railway. We went waaaaayyyy up in the mountains for a beautifully scenic morning.

After the train ride, we did a little exploring of downtown before heading back to the boat (a very WINDY trek!), but I didnt take any pictures of the downtown area! 🤦‍♀️

(Hey, guess what, 😏 I'm required to tell you that I worked my little b***y off to earn this incentive trip. Fewer than 1% of demonstratoes qualify for this perk - but it is available to anyone that wants to go!)

Hi friends! Happy Friday from Juneau, Alaska... although I still need to share our adventures from our day at sea (Tuesday) and our day in Sitka (Wednesday).

I don't have a lot of photos from our day at sea. We had breakfast in the windjammer buffet and then Nate's parents were picked for the Love & Marriage Game Show on the ship... and they won!! It was rather hysterical and they got a free set of Bamboo sheets as part of their prize!

Sitka was beautiful. We went to the Fortress of the Bear and saw some rescued wild bears and then walked around town for a bit. We grabbed a Huckleberry Margarita at the bar right next to the boat before heading back to our cabin.

Then it was time to watch karaoke at Bolero's!

Good morning, friends! On Day 3 we boarded the boat, Anthem of the Seas.

But before our boarding we ventured back to Pike Place for a few last minute things and took a quick trip to the Gum Wall since we were so close!

Then it was on the boat. As acheivers we got a water bottle and participated in a scavenger hunt to collect stickers for our water bottle from each of the Stampin' Up Leadership, including SU CEO Sara Douglass.
