THE THEME OF THIS YEAR CRUISE-

I  know it may seem a little crazy but I love things written down. I know that if I write things down I will think or remember it. It's like when I do goals. I like to write them down. Then they become MORE than a wish of mine. Do you feel the same? 

One of the things I have thought of for the past few months was how much FUN we are going to have on this 7 DAY cruise. Trust me, we are going to have fun. The SUN... will be shining (let's hope) and it will be a time to relax and enjoy this time. I  love the word- SHINE for this reason.

I talked about it yesterday on my blog, but to me. I want us to all SHINE and remember how special EACH of you are. Often, we are so hard on ourself. We look at our faults and the faults of those around us. However, when we SHINE like the SUN... we radiate. I know this year we are all about the GOLD and SHINING. 


I kept coming back to STARS that SHINE. 
That my friend is YOU!!!!!!
I am honored and fortunate that each of you are coming on the cruise with me. I have done lots of cruises but this is the largest. This was the largest the cruise conference rooms could hold. We took up the entire space. 

I could not have done it without Ms. Dye help. I know some people may think with her name that it's me. I want her to get the praise that she deserves. Unfortunately, Sean and the boys from My Mind's Eye are no longer able to come on the cruise. Don't worry it was good news for everyone- Weddings and more! However, family is always first.

With that joining us on the 2014 TC Cruise is the addition of two women that I know you will love and enjoy-
Taylor (soon to be CARD in 12 days) and Gentry Bartholomew. 
They will be assisting in all the classes and will be 
available to help with any and all of your questions.
Plus, they are my daughters. They love each of you
and you know how I feel about FAMILY- we are all family.


This is the 6x12 GOLDEN workshop we will be doing on the ship.
PLEASE note- I strongly encourage you to bring photos. Normally I would not ask this. YOUR photos are you story. They don't have to be perfect. This is YOUR life. They can be black and white, color, any mixture. The page protectors are 4x6 and 3x4. The page protectors due to the size are vertical 3x4 and horizontal 4x6. I often take my fave photos and just crop them down. I would bring 50-100 photos. PS... often on the 3x4 I like to crop them down to show the cards (they are so cute) so you could actually do smaller than 3x4. I wish I could tell you EXACTLY the size but you will get creative and know which photos you want to use. PS- it's going to be a GOLDEN album you will cherish. It could be a vacation, family, the cruise, life, friendship... anything!!!!!!

Are you getting excited?

  1. So excited! My daughters wedding colors were gold and navy & I've held off scrapping her big day because I hoped you would do a class on the cruise with one of your gorgeous gold albums!!! When you posted the star and "shine" I thought of the primary song "I am like a star shining brightly..." Love that little song :)

    Now that the wedding is done, son's in the MTC, and we've moved, I can get excited about the cruise - finally got our flights booked, need to figure out how to get from the airport to the ship and plan excursions

  4. Oh Ya -- am I getting excited! Picking out photos isn't the difficult part, for me it's hard to pick the topic for a particular album! I might just have to do last year's cruise where I met the most wonderful people....... (Insert HUGE smile here)
    Thanks Teresa and Tc for all your hard work and dedication to make this another dream come true cruise!
