Crafty Chica Cruise 2016

The last week of April, 2016 I went on a cruise with 50-ish creative folks and crafted with... The Crafty Chica!  {You can learn more about Kathy Cano-Murillo, aka The Crafty Chica, here.}  The cruise was 8 days, 7 nights to Mexico.  We stopped in Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan, and Cabo San Lucas.  On the 3 full days we had at sea we crafted our guts out!  This was my first time on a cruise ship and such an amazing experience!  I hope Kathy offers the cruise again, as I would sign up in a heartbeat!

I awoke quite early and began my double state day by driving from PA across the state of New Jersey to Goshen, New York.  The plan was to drive there on highways, but I can't resist a little detour through New Hope, PA and Lambertville, NJ.  These 2 little towns that hug opposite sides of the Delaware River are charming.  Filled with antique stores, eclectic second-hand shops, and a charisma that I have found bewitching.  Since my husband brought me the first time, 5 years ago, I have returned every time we've visited Bucks County, PA since.  So, even though I didn't have time to stop and stroll the streets of New Hope and Lambertville this time, I did enjoy the quick drive through their quiet, early morning streets.
