I hope you had a great week! This week's newest products were so much fun unpacking and designing (check out our newest die cuts!). They range from a serene tropical theme, a day at the beach, cruising and the Panama Canal. All of our new products encompass a Panama Canal cruise that we were lucky enough to embark on about 10 years ago (and we just may have to start saving for another one soon).

I remember how exotic and wild the scenery was while we sailed through to Panama and spotted a nest of baby crocodiles on the shore. I remember how pampered I felt sitting in a jacuzzi with a pina colada watching the sea-water level change while those mechanical mules pulled our ship through the canal with only inches to spare. I remember stopping in Jamaica and river rafting down the Martha Brae. I remember walking though a beautiful rain forest and hearing monkeys overhead and hoping one day I would return to experience all this once again.

I hope you had (or one day will have) a great Panama Canal cruise experience too!
