Back in Town & BACK to CRAFTING!!!

The kiddos and I arrived back in Ottawa this morning after a FABulous 3 week vacation on the East Coast with our family & friends. We had such a wonderful time filled with loads of memories {& photos} to last a lifetime! We were all very happy to see Daddy Kew {who was stuck working} - I have decided no more family vacations without all 4 of us going!!!
