USA

It seems very weird to be writing this from America!! We are pretty exhausted and Kevin is now chilling and watching even MORE American football- so I have escaped to the business centre in the hotel for 5 mins to send a couple of emails and so thought I'd say Hi to you. I'm loving the exploring of everything here. We have met tons of lovely people and found some great shops. Saturday we head down to Vermont and it looks like we will hit it just right for the autumn colours. I'm excited! On the way we are calling in to a shop called 'We be scrappin' which I am told is fantastic. There's a web site so have a look. Four out of the first six scrapping shops we went to had closed because of the recession!! What a disappointment :( I have since made up for it though, and found some great shops. Michael's still seems to have the best overall selection and there is one in most towns. Kevin is brill, he just brings a book and sits reading in the car! I have decided he's a keeper! I haven't found any amazing new techniques as yet, and the stash here seems pretty much what we get over there, just cheaper. Anyway, I hope you are all well and look forward to seeing you soon. xx
