I was very excited to get this little handmade book because I am heading to Italy in June with my three very best girlfriends. It’s a trip we’ve been dreaming about for several years and none of us can believe that we are only four months away from actually going.

Oh fun! John and I will be there in July…any chance to extend your Venetian holiday? 🙂
I wish we were staying for a month, but I am thrilled to be going at all – so I can’t complain about 11 days!
Oh, I didn’t know you were going back to Italy this summer! Have the most wonderful time. ❤
Hey you! Not ‘back’ to Italy – just taking the trip we postponed last summer. We’re really excited.
