JoyOfStamping

Although my trip to the Philippines was fun, there’s nothing like being home and sleeping in your own bed! 🙂 

This trip to the Philippines was for my dear cousin’s wedding.  We spent so much time hanging out with family that I did not take as many pictures as I wanted to.  The scenery can be so beautiful, I wish I could share more of it.

This first picture is of the Taal Volcano in Batangas while we were in Tagaytay.  I wish it wasn’t so cloudy that day.  On a clearer day, you can see the Volcano in that big hill/mountain.  There is actually a lake in that mountain and then the volcano is in the lake.  Isn’t that crazy?  I wish I had a better picture.

These little huts are called Bahay Kubo.  This is where we like to chill and relax.  A lot of my relatives had one in their backyard that we can just relax and “talk stories” all day.  It’s a nice shade from the hot-sticky sun.  This one was taken at a restaurant.  That’s why there are so many.  Usually there is just one.

One thing my husband Kurt enjoyed most about the Philippines is golfing. (comes in 2nd to the $10 hour body massages)  The courses are so green and beautiful.  He took this picture at one of the golf courses in Cavite.  He enjoyed having a Caddy and an Umbrella girl.  You can’t beat the service in the Philippines.

My cousin picked us up from the Airport and he had just gotten the flu.  So, the next 4 days of us being home, we weren’t jet-lagged, we were down with the flu! 🙁  But, at least we were sick at home vs. on vacation.  Now its just back to the grind.

One of my New Year’s Resolutions is to stamp more.  Since starting eclectic Paperie last year, I rarely get the opportunity to stamp.  I want to be able to enjoy the products that we carry and actually take the time to really TRYwhat we have!  LOL!

Happy New Year!!!!! 🙂  Wishing you the best in 2008.
