Thank You Stampin’ Up! for a wonderfully relaxing Getaway Trip to Hilton Head Island, SC. Greg and I really enjoyed the trip and the time away on no particular schedule. I posted a few quick posts with some pictures why were there but I wanted to wrap it up with another post and a look at what we did during our few days away.
This post has some pictures and what we did on Thursday after we arrived.
This post has some pictures from Friday.
This was our pillow gift on the last night – Stampin’ supplies in a plastic case –
Here is what we got inside –
The Postage Due clear stamp set, Fan Fair Designer Series paper, Riding Hood Red and Pink Pirouette ink pads, Island Indigo Baker’s Twine and Ruffled Ribbon, Very Vanilla and Crumb Cake Seam Binding, and a package of the Designer Vintage Faceted buttons. Everything this weekend has had the Polka Dot Fabric and cute beach themed tags tied around it.
I put together a couple of two-page spreads in My Digital Studio showing some of the pictures that I took over the weekend.
Here are pictures taken at the Westin Resort where we stayed – views looking out to the beach and ocean, views of the pools and statues through the resort.
And this last layout were pictures from two of the places we went to visit – on Saturday we drove down to Sea Pines Plantation and stopped at South Beach and then went to Harbour Town. We climbed to the top of the Lighthouse, walked around the Marina and ate lunch at the Crazy Crab. Then we stopped at the Baynard Plantation Ruins. On Sunday as we left Hilton Head Island we stopped at the National Wildlife Refuge at Pinckey Island – I took pictures of the wildlife and scenery as we walked around – we probably did about a 2 mile walk.
And look at these birds that we saw in South Beach – Macaws – the blues ones are Kiwi and Cherokee, the scarlet one is Captain.
It was a nice weekend and I’m slowing getting back in the groove here at home. I’m working on prepping for a vendor table at an all day scrapbook crop on Saturday and then a scrapbook and stamping consignment sale next week.
Alright – time to get off the computer…..

Just some pictures from our day yesterday –
we rode bikes in the morning – first on the beach and then on the pathways
These are the flags on all of our bikes
Yummy treats for us at the Hospitality Table – plus they had milk and cookies all day – which I didn’t get a picture of…
We had dinner a the Old Oyster Factory – this is the view over the marsh – Katy and Craig joined us for dinner – we had a great evening.
my dessert – yummmm
back to the room and our little gift – fruit and cheese tray – but we were stuffed from dinner so I’m saving it for an afternoon snack today – good thing we brought a cooler.
Off to start our day….

Hello from Hilton Head Island, SC! We are here at the Stampin’ Up! Getaway Trip!
We arrived Thursday afternoon. Just relaxed in the afternoon – got our bearings at the resort, took a short walk on the beach, and checked out the pools, visited the SU hospitality table – they have bikes for us and we’ll be going to get those in a few minutes, went to dinner at Hudson’s on the Dock at sunset – very pretty, and we saw some dolphins too, came back to the hotel for a card swap – and wrapped up the evening doing not too much.
I have a few pictures to share including our Pillow Gift from Stampin’ Up! There was a knock at the door right after we got back from dinner and this is what the guy handed me –
It’s a canvas Lands End bag with the Stampin’ Up! logo rubber stamp on the front.
Here are a few more pictures – I have others I need to get from my phone to my computer so I can post those too. But my battery is running out and my internet access seems to be on a timer and counting down – so I’ll just post these now and try to come back later with more.

Greg at the swap with me (bonus was the free box of Girl Scout cookies – they were having a fund raiser in the ballroom next door).
SU demos swapping (we can’t go anywhere without swapping!).

See you later – we are off to ride bikes….
