Asheville, North Carolina Here We Come!

So we've decided to go to Asheville in North Carolina. I first heard of this town/city through HGTV's Urban Oasis giveaway! I then went to Pinterest (where else!) and did some research on the area and now we're set to leave on Wednesday morning thru Sunday. I can't wait. It looks like a really fun place with lots to see and do. I'll be taking lots of pics along the way as I want to make another small (8x8) hardcover photo book with Shutterfly. I did this for our long weekend in Chicago a few years ago and love it. I will be making a kind of itinerary, not so that we have to go to certain places at certain times, but to list all the places of interest that we'll be able to pick and choose from depending on the weather. Plus a friend of mine used to live there and has given me some recommendations of some restaurants and sightseeing tips so I want to include those. I might make a small journal/notebook this afternoon whilst Hubby watches football (the American kind!) and a small pouch/pencil case to go with it. Hubby and I are getting excited as we'll be celebrating both of our birthdays (mines the 28th of this month and his is the 15th of October) and our wedding anniversary (Oct 24th). Then when we get back we'll be getting ready to re do our kitchen. We were at the kitchen appliance place again this morning narrowing down our choices. I'll probably do some before, during and after pics of that later.

Here are my photo-a-day pics for the week. Nothing very exciting but here goes!

The first pic is a wasp nest that was hiding in an umbrella. Next are some sunflowers that Hubby bought after we rearranged the living and dining rooms. Some fabric that I was trying out a pencil case with - it wasn't very good! A plant from work. Some sharpie pens and a "handle" to put my washi on. A sticky toffee pudding and custard that I brought home with me back in the spring and lastly a sale sign for a Sub Zero appliance from out latest trip to Gerhard's!

I was looking back through my photo-a-day pics and saw that I duplicated a photo - the cat hanger. I usually write down what I've already posted so that doesn't happen and I also note in my little diary what pic I took that day! Ooops is all I can say!! I'm off out back to sit in the sun for half an hour, so until next time...
