Announcements /// Packing for the trip ////

Hi everyone it is getting close to me leaving for the trip... I wanted to talk about some announcements first, to let you all know what is going on with the blog while I am gone and some other things; lets get started.


So I know you want to more about my poem that is going to get published in a book. I really don't know a lot myself; like when it is going to be out to buy. Stay tuned because I will let you know when it is out.
I found out about the contest through the library. This place has a theme for a poem book each year. The theme this year was mystery and I just had to try it! This is such a huge step for me!!
I got a message on January 20 and they asked me to check out my poem before it went into print. I did and now I am just waiting for more info. You can go to https://www.thedramaticpen.com/ to find out a little more about the poetry books they have published before.


In the Scheduling department from now until sometime after getting back from my trip I will be posting only on Sunday. I have lots of stuff planned, but I can only plan so much. 

WITH the packing stuff I just wanted to share a little on what I am packing. 


This is my backpack I am taking on the plane it will have stuff for me to do and some overnight clothes, so we don't have to drag the big bags around. 
What I am taking besides clothes in the bag is: A mystery game, my Kindle ( so i can keep in touch), snacks, my writing notebooks, a brush, hand moisturizer, gum, also a book, but I haven't decided which one I want to take. 

Swim suit is an must, we will be by the beach. 


 Almost done packing the big bag. I always have a few last minuet things to pack.


 Small cleansing face set and tooth brush and paste.


Been trying to decide which sweater I want to wear on the way down to Florida. It may not be cold down there but it is cold here. This picture above is one of my choices. 

That is about it... the next post will be in a week on Sunday. 
Hope every one has a good valentines day!

What do you like to pack?
Are you excited about the poetry book?
Tell me below. Love every comment!

  2. Ooohhh can't wait to hear more about this poetry book. Congrats!

    And wow I'm half jealous. We just got a huge dump of snow and it's freezing. Have fun on your trip! When I pack I like to bring as little as possible because less stuff is best ;D But it's still good to have enough, so I try to find a balance ;d

    1. Thanks! I hope to hear more about the book soon.

      I know! We too have a lot of snow and it is so cold. Yeah we have to pack somewhat light because the airline charges for extra baggage. My sister has half of the big bag. :)
      Thanks for commenting!
