Nikki visit's Lacey in the US!!

Hello stamping friends!!

We will be back tomorrow with a new challenge. 

But first...

Every year or two Wags 'n Whiskers co-owner Nikki (aka Bunny Zoe's Crafts from the UK) visits the other co-owner Lacey-me (aka Stamp and Create from Florida, USA)! 

It's always exciting when we get to see each other!! It's one thing to work together from across the Atlantic Ocean, and another when we get to sit and chat and have fun together!! Although the kids are different ages, they always get along well together. 

This year the husbands went golfing while Nikki and I took the kids to our neighborhood pool. Afterward we went to dinner and they stayed over night. In the morning, my husband made them chocolate chip pancakes then we went to the pool again for another few hours before they had to head back to Orlando for the rest of their vacation. 

Here are a few pictures from our visit:

Lacey and Nikki (on the way to the pool)

Yes, I'm really that short (only 5'1")!!

Scott & Lacey Stephens (US) and Gary and Nikki Fairbairn (UK)

Zoe Fairbairn, Ryan Stephens, Ansley Stephens, and Danni Fairbairn
