Thank You Babs! Without you this trip would never have been possible and would never have gotten off the ground. You are the candle that lights the way and the most gracious and generous hostess. This was the best trip ever!!!

A much needed vacation was enjoyed by my family at Marthas Vineyard from July 22-29 2006. My mom, Babs and sister Dee Dee rented a house on Chappaquiddick for 7 days, it had 12 forested acres, it's own private beach and it was built in the late 1600's. They generously invited a group of happy fun loving people and we all had the best time. John could not come, he stayed home and took care of Rat so I was wild and free on the Vineyard, haha. Every body took a ton of pictures because it is beautiful so if you are inclined you may click onto these links and see the beauty, inspiration and fun we enjoyed on Marthas Vineyard.

Thanks for the slice of your holiday, Val. I adore the house in the first photo! Is that where you stayed?
Hey Val! I'm finally checking out your blog! I am the worst sister on the planet for not checking earlier, but I love, love, love what you've done with the place!
I love & miss you!

Thanks for sharing!I love the little houses!
Thanks for the nice comment, Val. I'm glad you were able to go to Martha's
Vineyard, but I wish you could join us for the trip to Huckleberry Hollow. It turns out our two sons will be coming along. It all happens in a couple weeks. I'll be putting pix of this lovely part of the rain forest on Mrs. T's blog.
thanks for sharing your holiday Val.

Hi!
Sorry I've been away for so long. I tried to upgrade my ISP and ended up with no iNet at all. But I'm trying to solve this so I can get back to IF.
Skyline and Sacrifice are awesome. I have new favorites. =)
Clean and Opposites are lovely as always.
Sticky: What can I say? I love it how you take every challenge. I never saw this coming. =D

I bet you have plenty of pictures for inspiration...what a perfect fit for the art that you create. How much fun.-- And you! You're just a tiny little squirt! :) The beautiful you I knew you would be. I can see that curious artist in those bright eyes! What a really special trip. I'm sure your battery will be charged up for quite some time now. I'm so happy for you that you had this experience.

YayYyY! I really enjoyed seeing your photos! It was as though I was on a mini vacation right there along with you!
Oh how fun! It looks like you had a blast! I so want to go there someday!
ohhhh i want to live in one of those cottages in your photos; I want to paint the interiors in wild colors and sit on the porches with my flowers. And that little girl with the dog is just too cute here on the main page!
Wow, looks like so much fun! I've been spending time with family too. It's great to take a break, and get new inspiration too. Thanks for sharing. p.s. I'm 5'2" too!
