See Ya Later Alligator

Yipee!  It’s time for me to take my little breaky break break for spring market.  TheManoftheHouse is going to be brave and hold down the fort here while I get to go have fun with the Gulls.  I leave in the morning and I’ll be gone for about 10 days ’cause I plan to take a little extra time and visit family and PLAY.  Sadly, I won’t appear on PKM radio as I don’t blog while I’m gone.  I don’t have an iPad and I don’t want to have to worry about a laptop (I think I’ve mentioned that I had one stolen on a trip once and I’m scarred for life!)   I’ll take lots of pictures though, and there will be LOTS to report when I return.

Before I go, I wanted to pass on a very exciting tidbit.  A few weeks ago, Susan who blogs at Fort Worth Fabric Studio contacted me and asked if they could use the pictures of my Ghastlies quilts for an upcoming post.  That post is up now and guess what GUESS WHAT????

Eeeeek!!! How exciting!!! I’m hoping to see the new prints at market.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to go ogle the Miss Airport 2011 calendar and decide which pose will be most appropriate for me tomorrow when I go through the airport scanner!

Behave yourselves while I’m gone — I hope you’ll save all of your exciting posts for when I get back!
XOXO,
Anna

  1. Sob, no stories along the way and fun photos…and I don’t even get to go to market! Have fun, especially at sample spree!

  2. WOW I can’t wait to see what pose you went with. LOLOL Everytime I’m in that machine I just stand there imagining what they are looking at!
    See you in SLC.

  3. eeeekk – market & you’re leaving for 10 days of FUN (and some hard work)!
    eeeekk – the ghastlies!!!!! yay!!! i so missed out the last time because i waited too long (i hoped for a sale but that was definitely the wrong decision!)
    eeeekk – the calendar…heehee…have fun at the airport!
    and the last eeeekk – how will i survive those 10 days without an anna-post?
    :)

  4. Too funny. I had to go through the xray on my way back from TX. They searched through my bag that had all these antique camera’s I bought to display in my husband’s office.

    Loved seeing the Ghastlies make a reappearance. I hope I can get my hands on some this year. I’m going to be looking and asking some of my local quilt stores to carry it.

    Hope to see you while you are on this adventure.

  5. Have a brilliant time at market – can’t wait to read your report when you return. The Miss Airport calendar is fabulous – wonder which pose you will use:)

  6. Hhahahahahaha…. I am busting a gut here! Love the x-rays! Funny too, we all look that way. But I vote for the November pose. E-mail me… where are you going to be staying at market and are you heading to QNM on Sat.

  7. Have fun and can’t wait to get all the reports back from market. I think it’s good not to take your laptop because then you can concentrate on having fun and seeing lots of stuff and not be worrying about what is happening everywhere else.

  8. Who wouldn’t want to take a nod at your awesome Ghastlie quilts? The calendar is hilarious. I assume we will be seeing you in next year’s edition. ;) Have a super time at market!!

  9. Have a wonderful time with the gulls and hopefully you will come up on KPKM by way of Thimbleanna sightings.

  10. Oh, you make me laugh! Where did you find those calendar pictures!!!!! You are one lucky lady being able to go to market. Can’t wait to see your pictures. Safe travels!!

  11. Hope you have an absolutely brilliant time and as for the airport calendar I have no idea where you find such hilarious things but keep it up x

  12. lol, if you do have to go through the scanner then you should have some fun…the TSA staff probably need a break, too. ;0

    Hey, I got my Hancock’s of Paducah catalog this week and it has the new Ghastlies! Very cute additions! ;0

    Have fun in Salt Lake!

  13. I am laughing so hard!That calender ;0)

    I have never heard of the Ghastlies, gotta check them out.

    I adore your new header…you are so clever

  14. i’m all excited at the ghastlies, and aghast at the airport scanner calendar! horrified actually. mainly, because (sadly) i would look a bit different than those scans!
    we’ll miss you terribly while you’re gone.
    take a million pictures.
    i’d like one of you and all the quilting celebrities together. heather, amy, kaffe… the list goes on!
    i miss you already!!!
    :waves madly

  15. Hope you have a wonderful time [seething with jealousy!] Can’t wait to sere which pose you choose! Humor is the only way to deal with that nonsense……Take copious notes and lots of pics!

  16. Oh what goodness! I love that calendar, I can’t stop laughing. Have an awesome trip, enjoy, it’s good to be away from the computer.

  17. Hey sign up for the radio when you do post! You’re supposed to put a link to each and every post. DON’T MAKE ME HUNT YOU DOWN.

  18. ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tee hee about the calander. Have a blast at market!!!! I know you will.
    Oh, btw, I got the Quilter’s Bible book awhile back and just love it!! Anna, thank you so very much!

    xo

  19. LOVED the Ghastlies! OH MY HEAVENS! I love love love love the calendar! Both me and the hubby were rolling with that one! :) Safe trip!

  20. Enjoy your time at Spring Market. As for the scanner pose, I don’t have a preference however, are you sure you want to wear your stilettos? Airports are not known for short cuts, your feet will be in pain. That’s not fun while you’re at market! ;o) Have a fun and safe trip!

  21. I’m back! I’ve been thinking about the whole scanner thing! Maybe they ought to hire a Doctor to diagnose for possible health problems. Kind of a customer service bonus! My brother in law is/was part of the scanner project. Makes for interesting dinner conversations! Cheers!

  22. You’ll soon be back from your trip now but I hope you had a good time. Which pose did you choose for the airport scanner? :)

  23. I hope you went with June!

    I agree with some of the others. I wouldn’t mind having a tech of some kind in that little room. If they’re looking, they might as well let you know if something catches their eye that you ought to have checked out. It’s just a thought… I mean, if they’re looking at everything anyway.

    I hope you had lots of fun, took lots of pictures, and got lots of inspiration!

  24. Miss Airport has made me blush!

    I hope you had a truly wonderful time Anna. Can’t wait t read about it x
