I’m liking what’s in your vault, Kylie! Very sweet and very cute! It’s always fun to visit your blog and see what sweet creations you’ve made. Our son, dil, and gd are moving from Phoenix, AZ to Auckland, NZ next month. If we ever make it there, who knows, you just might get a visit from me since I’ll be in the “neighborhood”! Lol. Bev
The vault seems to be almost endless – there’s a lot tucked away in there. Thanks for your kind comments. You are so very sweet! Your family will love living in Auckland. NZ is such a beautiful place with so much to see and do. If you do get the opportunity to visit them, you won’t regret it! They’ll notice the difference with the weather – hot AZ weather to winter NZ weather. lol Will be a shock to the system! 🙂 Have a great day! 🙂
Tom was born and raised in SE Wisconsin, so he knows winter. Poor dil Deb is an AZ baby…but doesn’t mind the cold and snow. I really do hope to make it down there someday, but DH cannot travel like he used to…bummer. Maybe mom will just have to go solo! Lol. Bev
Oh they will be fine with the weather. 🙂 I was more thinking of the change of coming from summer to winter. It’s a beautiful place and full of friendly people. You’d be fine travelling there on your own. It’d be worth it.
