Standing out in a crowded airport, for sure

I have wanted to do this for so long and finally, I just did it!  If you have ever traveled by air, you know there are a gazillion black bags on that baggage claim line.  I wanted ours to be easy to spot and less likely to get taken by mistake by someone else.  These babies will surely stand out in a crowd.

It was really pretty easy and I just used acrylic craft paint and lots of masking tape to make the plaid.  The plaid is on all the sides and the front plain pocket.

A word of advice:  Don't attempt this right before a trip, when you are tired and already stressed.  Give it some thought because once you commit to a pattern/design, there is no going back.  Be sure to give it plenty of time to dry.  Consider who else might be using the set of luggage.  I had in mind a lovely damask pattern but thought my husband might not be comfortable with it. 

Well, if you see this out and about, say hi...I am nearby!

Asheville, NC

 For our 24th anniversary, my husband and I went to Asheville, NC.  What an interesting town!  It was quite "environmentally friendly" and "creative."  Of course, the Biltmore was really something to see.  I was blessed to learn that the couple was quite in love. 

 We were nearly the first visitors in the gate and we spent the cool of the morning in the gardens.  My darling husband was VERY patient as I played with camera settings and my tripod. 

 There were many "take-aways" from this visit. I loved the plantings in the suitcases.  It was unexpected in such a manicured place. 

I promise to post more on my projects...several things are now checked off the list. 

Blessings.
