Got my big black boots and an old suitcase

Anyone know what song my title comes from? Its one of my favorites because its all about the West Coast which is my all time favorite place to be.
I am crazy stupid busy going in a million directions trying to tie up loose ends by Friday. Why ? Well , i leave for a weeks vacation with my handsome husband.
Guess where i'm going? Its NOT west Coast!
I'll leave you some very easy clues.....
I'll be out of pocket all next week but when i return, i hope to have lots and lots of some fabulous photos.
This may sound corny but i'll miss you guys! I sure love my blogging family.
Hope all of you had a wonderful Easter /Passover weekend.  We drove out to east Texas to see my uncle and pick up a custom piece of furniture he made for us. I have to paint it and that aint happening this week or next so you'll have to wait to see the coolest thing he made .
OK so here are my clues to where we're heading this weekend:

Cute BLOG charm - you need it!

Hey everyone, this will be my only post this week.  My hubby leaves in the morning at 4am with our group heading to Sturgis and I'll be leaving on Friday. I'm flying into Rapid City, SD with layover in Denver.  Todd is packing most of my things with his bag so we've been busy getting our things together.  This is also the first time Jax has ever been away from home.  I'm getting his toenails clipped and filed today after work so he can be pretty.  We bathed him last night. The whole family is busy.

Have y'all heard of Origami Owl? They have what they call Living lockets that have charms inside. There are charms for pretty much all hobbies including scrapbooking and blogging. You can get a locket bracelet or wear it on a long necklace. There are various sizes of the locket and you can also choose from background circles. 

I bought one a year ago that reflects my wedding. I got married at a winery so I have a wine glass, an M for my new last name, a cross and a wedding ring. I have  a circle that says Always behind my charms. I get a lot of compliments every time I wear it.  I have a friend that has a locket in memory of her husband. They have a charm that has that " in memory of".  She put his initial , his birthstone, and a few hobby charms. It's so pretty. 

I'm in process now of putting another locket together for my hobbies.  I will have a motorcycle , a bone to represent Jax, a wine bottle, a background circle that says Love Life, and my BLOG charm. I've received many as gifts but a few i don't have yet. Can't wait to get it all put together. 

To keep expenses down in my budget, I use a chain that I already have so that helps.  You can add slowly to collection or get a bunch at one time. 

I heard that they had a blog charm so I reached out to my friend Erica. She sells them and is such a great person to deal with. I ordered 2 because one is a gift for someone - early birthday present. 

The charm is in my marriage locket for now but that's temporary.  Look how cute! 

All of you need to send her an email or go to website to get one. 

 Email is : myowncharm@gmail.com 

Her website is : myowncharm.origamiowl.com 

I love my new blog charm and think you would like one too! 

I would love to know what you would have in your locket.  

Pray for safe travels on our trip and nice weather.  I'll catch you next week and tell you all about it.
