Through the combined actions of my customers and my downline, I was fortunate enough to earn Stampin’ Up!’s Hilton Head Getaway this year. And guess where I am arriving today! Yep…gorgeous Hilton Head Island.
Of course, there is more to going than just getting packed. There were the Twins to think about, and Lexi, too. Plus, I needed to make arrangements for someone to watch the house.
For the house, Brady came to the rescue. In fact, as you are reading this, I bet he is sitting in front of the TV eating some of the casseroles I made for him, and undoubtedly chowing down on the cookies I baked. As for the Twins, I opted to send them to a Doggie Spa! Well…I call it a Doggie Spa. I didn’t want them to know that technically it is a boarding kennel. But, wow…what a kennel it is! It is like entering a house. They will get “Nature Walks” in the woods, massages, and daily grooming, as well as group playtime. They will be rooming together. Since they are used to sleeping with Mom and Dad, they are actually sleeping on an elevated doggie bed, complete with blankies from home. When I left them, they were mesmorized by the pot-bellied pig who lives there, and couldn’t care less that I was leaving. Plus, this place has some of their favorite things…KIDS!!!
And as we all know, Lexi is at her handler/trainer’s house. I don’t feel sorry for her one bit. This is the huge lakefront home where she is staying. I can’t even imagine living in a home that big! I bet I could have a stamping studio if I lived here. I wonder if the handler will let me come and stay???
When we were married all those years ago, my husband and I never got to go on a “real” honeymoon. This trip will be it! So I once again thank those of you who made it possible, including Stampin’ Up! for their generosity. Until next time…
I had better put in my order today – they might make you walk back home or strand you someplace. Glad you are having a great time and the kids are well cared for. Where is the “doggie spa” located?

P.S. so glad to see Curt’s comment – I have missed his blog!
I know you will have an amazing trip!! SU trips are always so well done. Thomas & I had our honeymoon in Savannah…after we’d been married over 6 years!
Ann, I’m so happy for you. Nobody deserves this trip better than you! Congratulations! You’re always on top of things, helpful,inspirational and kind! Have a great trip. My husband, daughter and I have visited Hilton Head and you’ll LOVE it there. It’s a beautiful spot. Sometimes you enjoy “late” honeymoons more. Have a great time and don’t worry about the “rest of the family” -they’ll all be fine! Diane Gil
Congratulations! And enjoy your honeymoon/trip. All the best for both of you.
Yay! I hope you get some well deserved pampering and rest. All of the kids will be good, you just enjoy yourselves!
Congratulations Ann! I hope you have a wonderful honeymoon!!
Have a great time – you have worked so hard and deserve that incentive trip for sure! Hmmm what would I have to do to go spend the weekend with Lexi on the lake???
Congratulations Kiddo! That is so awesome. . .And it sounds like all the “kids” are just as lucky. I’ve certainly missed you! Best, Curt
Enjoy your well deserved retreat and belated honeymoon, Ann! Walk on the beach, relax in the sun and above all else enjoy the wonderful sunsets and hopefully moon over the ocean! You will probably receive lots of inspiration for future projects just from the scenery! Oh, and IF you have time take some pictures to share with us! Hugs
Sounds like the whole family will be vacationing! I can taste the cookies as Brady is chomping down on them. The Twins and Lexi are at a spa and an estate. And, you and Kim are at a fabulous resort. Enjoy! This is so well deserved.
Congratulations Ann!! You deserve it for all your hard work, have a wonderful time!
Hugs 😉
very well deserved! your proud “mama!” hugs, m
I hope you have a wonderful time on your belated honeymoon. And there is no better place to enjoy it beside the natural beauty of South Carolina. And , I should know! A Palmetto Girl to the core.
Have a wonderful time Ann. It looks like a beautiful place to be. Congratulations and you deserve it for all your hard work.
hope you have a wonderful time on your incentive trip Ann-you are a fab SU demonstrator and an asset to the company
Ann, I am so happy that you and your hubby are finally going on that honeymoon! You both deserve it! Have a wonderful time and take lots of pics! It sounds like Brady and the furkids are having wonderful vacations of their own as well! I could definitely stay at that beautiful home where Lexi is! And Muffy and Brody are surely having the time of their lives!
Congratulations on winning such a great trip! Very happy for you! Muffy and Brody are so lucky to have such a nice “Doggie Spa” available. (I won’t tell them that it is a kennel.) Relax and enjoy your time away with your husband.
How wonderful for both you and your ‘puppies’! I know you’ll enjoy yourself, just don’t forget the ones you’ve left behind, waiting to see pictures of this adventure!
Congratulations, Ann! I just love it when good things happen to good people! Hope you and your husband have a wonderful time!
Aweeee I am so happy for you and hubby. You both deserve this.
I think that I wouldn’t mind staying where the Twins or Lexi is. Any sweet pampering is always welcomed!
Enjoy your time at the Hilton Head!
Congratulations Ann! You are so deserving of some pampering time as well. And it sounds like this is a win/win for everyone. So happy that Kim gets to come along with you for your long awaited honeymoon. Enjoy!
Super….have a well deserved great time….
Congratulations! You will love Hilton Head. Where are you staying? I didn’t get to go there this year but will be there again in May. I think I would like the doggy spa! As for Lexi, that is a beautiful place she is staying at. Have fun and enjoy.
