I Made it onto My First Storque

My Pisa Print!

I love to travel, as some of you may know, and noticed the new Storque article on the front page of etsy about a travel showcase. I opened up the story and low and behold, there was my Pisa lino-cut print in the related items section! This is a first for me! I took a picture of it for all to remember it by ;).

Here is the link! I would buy a spot, but I AM GOING ON MY CRUISE TOMORROW and won't be here for the sale.

Wish me luck and fun on my cruise. I will update when I return (or tomorrow morning before I leave if I cannot resist)!

Travel Plans and Fun Finds!

Passport Wallet by Glassbeach (closed view)

6 Days left of my first year of teaching!

I have loved every minute of it, but I am ready for the summer, to start making more of my new art, and for VACATION!

For those of you who may not have read previous entries, I am going on a cruise though Royal Caribbean the second week of June! I have been on several cruises, but this is the first time my boyfriend will be going on one. I was concerned that his passport would not come in on time, but it got to him within a week without the extra rush fee! Great job USPS!

I have been every bit please with USPS so far, which is not normal from what I have heard. Since I have upgraded to printing my own shipping and postage though paypal and invested in a scale, postal life has become much easier! There is even the sweetest lady in the post office that knows me by name (but calls me little bit) and is so kind, even when they are rushed.

Anyways, back to traveling...

I want to buy a passport holder, purse, travel pouch, something cool for the trip. I am leaning more towards the passport holder, even though the cool ones on ETSY are expensive. Here are some sellers and items I am liking the best so far!
