I am going to sewjourn TODAY!!!!
I am leaving behind five performances of Grease with the associated drop-offs, washing of costumes, and very very late pick-ups.
I am leaving behind rehearsals for two other shows (shared between the kids)
I am leaving behind gala night with an estimated 2am pick-up of daughter
I am leaving behind:
"What's for dinner?"
"I'm hungry"
"have you got a minute"
"Where is my (insert anything from basketball to brain here)?"
"how come He/She gets to ...whatever"?
"Why do I have to do all the work"?
I am leaving behind the real life crap for the weekend and it was all I could do this morning, not to actually push them all out the door to school and work and dance gleefully up the hallway in my dressing gown to a stirring rendition of Freedom.
(OK, maybe I did actually do that)
So even though I know all the crap will still be here when I get back
I'm going to belt out one more chorus, chuck on my shoes and get the hell out of dodge .........

So Jealous!! Have a great week-end and I presume you will be right to watch mine next week-end since you will be so refreshed.
Have a great creative fun, UNINTERUPTED time.
To quote a classic Aussie film,
"How's the serenity...?"

Jodie, keep the wild animals out of your craft room, what, oh, right... never mind...
Can you feel the 'happy for you but still jealous' energy coming out of our comments? :)
Have a fabulous time!!!
Colour me green with envy. Sewjourn sounds awesome.
Have a fabbo time! (and don't leave a mess because I am going to be there next weekend!!! LOL)
Good for you! Have a blast and enjoy it!!!

Great to see your room looks exactly like mine right now!
And I think my jealously levels have gone beyond anything I've known before. Why o why aren't I going too!!??
Have a great time!
Rock on sister girl! Have a fab, fab weekend.
Have the absolute BEST time ever.
Hi Jodie: Hope you had a wonderful all-singing, all-dancing, all-stitching weekend of freedom!
Cheers, Jan
Just go, no guilt! Do not look back, if you pass your family again as you walk out the door do not stop, just collect all your cash and cards, and go go go! Have a great time!

I hope you mean George Michael's Freedom. I have been singing it all week and I'm going nowhere!
Enjoy that crafting time!
Don't even give home a second thought Jodie. As you say, it'll all be there when you return. Hope you have a great time,
Hugs ~ Kerryanne
Greeeeeen with envy!!
I want to come too.
Andi :-)
Have a great time, can't wait to see what you create! I love your craft room, so good to see one that looks almost as untidy as mine! :-)
Oh my god, I love this post. Who cannot relate to the need for that jaunty dance down the hallway???!! Love your mess, love the escape, love, love, love. Have a ball x
Have fun! Only 14 sleeps until I get to go back too :)
See ya west of the Pecos, Jodie... or should I say... the Ric-Rac Kid! If you can just get over the Mexican border, they'll never get ya.
Enjoy! Have a fabulous time and don't think too much about the disaster that is sure to await you on your return!
Yay, yay, yay!! Like Suse said only 14 more sleeps until I get to go too! excited, ooh yes!!! Methinks sewjourn is the saviour of the crafting mum! have fun, make a big mess!
Sounds blissful! Seems a bit redundant to say have a fabulous time because I'm sure you will!
You lucky thing. I hope you have an awesome time!
Have a fabulous time!
Sounds like BLISS!!!!! Enjoy :)
Oh ace, I am going away next weekend with some girls from Crafty Mumas :) Cant wait. Will you bring back any completed projects??? I am going to 'try'
Getaways help recharge those batteries! Have fun. By the way, I LOVE the green on your walls.
Have a great time. That's going to be me next weekend as a few of us crafty Sydney girls have a weekend in Berry planned
Completely in tune with you there sister!!!
And loving the elephants and those little plastic coated dolls a few posts back, where do you get these ideas???
love Tracey
jodie have a great time...
p.s now i am certain my room is the messiest creative space...
i have about ten times the amount of scraps on the floor...
and i can't even see my machine...
i'm still wishing those creative cleaning fairies will come visit soon...
Have the most fantastic time! Not jealous at all. Honest. Much. Locket xxx
you go girls!
run, run very fast and don't look back at all
(you'll trip and be sucked back into the house)
Have a great weekend.
ohhh, lucky you; have fun!
Sounds divine! Hope you had a fabulous time!
so sad I couldnt go and I am glad mine isn't the only work space to look like that
Youv'e been tagged. Pop over to my blog for details. : )
Good on you! Hope you had fun and remembered to come back!!
Sewjourn! What a brilliant name for a sewing retreat. I love it, and it sounds marvelous - even though you'll come home to an absolute mountain of laundry. :>}
Just checked out the Sewjourn website. Looks fabulous...have a wonderful time.
I am amazed you didnt have a tent city of retreat hi-jackers...I wouldve been there for sure. Looks like you had a great time, bit surprised I didnt see Locket 2D poked into a basket anywhere!! ha ha
i love the color on the wall with the wood against it
so cute
