No, I don't mean I smell ‘off’. Least I hope I don't!
When I say I'm off I mean I'm off to AMERICA to PALMETTO TAT DAYS in September. How exciting is that? I heard at the end of last week that I’d been selected.
Next job will be to book my flights and get the insurance done. A few weeks before I leave I have to get my ESTA (visa) done too. That's not too bad but takes a bit of time and effort!! Then there's the taxi to book and, of course, two months or more before the trip I start packing!!!
That might sound rather early to pack but there are so many 'odds and ends' I have to take with me/remember that I have to start early to be sure I've got them all!!! Anyway it keeps me focussed and stops me getting too excited.
Main excitement is about meeting old friends and making new ones too. The only complaint I have about Tat Days is that it’s never long enough. I never seem to have enough time to talk to everybody. PLEEEEEESE, Palmetto Tatters make it Tat Week next year.
Congratulations Jane. I wish I could be there too.
ReplyDeleteOh, Bev, I wish that too. Would love to meet again.

ReplyDeleteI like the sound of that: Tat Week! Would that entice you 3 more time zones West? We could have great fun Tatting for a week By The Bay!
