I always get sick when we go.  I&#8217;m guessing it has to do with the elevation change wreaking havoc on my sinuses.  Josh says its because I stress out getting ready to go and then it all releases once we get there.  It&#8217;s probably both!!  I was fine the first day and a half we were there and then &#8211; BAM &#8211; it hit me.  Icky sinus infection.  I took all the meds I could, and actually did ok.  We all walked and walked until our feet felt like they&#8217;d fall off.  One of my feet is STILL stiff and sore.  AND  I lost my voice (its still lost).  But WHO CARES?!  We&#8217;d jump back in the car and drive the 10 hours back right now if we could.   On the drive home, Josh and I were trying to figure out when we could go back.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll write up a whole detailed post on the haps of the trips.  But right now its time for new products and show offs!!<\/p>\n<p>New in the shop today (there&#8217;s not much since I just got back to work yesterday):<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:bold;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/scrapmatters.com\/shop\/product.php?productid=1477&amp;cat=3\"><span class=\"Apple-style-span\"  style=\"font-size:x-large;\">&#8220;Oscar Winning Alpha&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/scrapmatters.com\/shop\/product.php?productid=1477&amp;cat=3\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i70.photobucket.com\/albums\/i104\/designerbrittney\/brittdes_oscar_LRG.jpg\" width=\"540\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Oscars were last Sunday, while we were away, but we Tivoed them and watched it last night.
