FAREWELL 9-5 HELLO TRAVEL

04.09.14

THE TITLE OF THIS BLOG INDICATES LEAVING A NINE TO FIVE JOB TO TRAVEL.

NOPE, NOT IT!  (AT LEAST FOR NOW, SHHHHH)

INSTEAD, WE ARE CELEBRATING KRISTIN'S DEPARTURE WITH A COMPANY THAT SHE'S BEEN WITH FOR A GAZILLION YEARS.  BY A GAZILLION, I MEAN 15+ YEARS. 

BEAT THAT!

THIS IS KRISTIN R.  SHE HAS WORKED AT HOUGHTON MIFFLIN HARCOURT SCHOOL PUBLISHERS FOR A LONG, LONG TIME.  SHE AND HER HUSBAND LOVES TO TRAVEL AND WILL BE LEAVING THEIR FULL TIME JOBS BEHIND TO TRAVEL.  I AM EXCITED TO KNOW THAT THEY WILL BE POSTING PHOTOS THEIR JOURNEY ON "INSTAGRAM" AND WILL BE FOLLOWING THEM TOO!

THIS IS THE ORLANDO HMH BUILDING THAT WE WOULD BE HOLDING SECRET DECORATING GALORE FOR HER SURPRISE PARTY ON HER LAST DAY.

ORLANDO HOUGHTON MIFFLIN PUBLISHER

THERE WAS NOT MUCH DAMAGE DONE WITH THE BEFORE AND AFTER DECOR.

BUT SOMEONE ON THE FAREWELL DECORATING TEAM WAS BEING VERY CONSIDERATE AND NICE. AND NEAT TOO!  THAT PERSON WAS NOT I.  I SHOULD WHIP UP SOME DAMAGING DECOR PHOTOS FROM THE PAST ONE DAY AND BLOG IT.  THERE WERE THOUGHTS OF FLIPPING THINGS UPSIDE DOWN.  

BEFORE

AFTER

"CAMPING" IS THE THEME FOR HER FAREWELL.  IT MATCHES HER TRAVELING JOURNEY, AS HER AND HER HUSBAND WILL BE DRIVING THEIR CAMPING TRAILER TO THEIR DESTINATIONS.

THIS IS THE LOVELINESS OF NEAT DECORATING.

BUT JUST BECAUSE IT IS NEATLY DECORATED INSIDE, DOES NOT MEAN THAT I CAN'T PUT IN MY OWN SIGNATURE DECOR ON THE EXTERIOR......
