If you were sitting next to me right now, you’d hear my *sigh* of relief. 

And then you’d me see me jump up and down for joy, because we are finally on our way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So here’s how it will work while I’m away. I’m certain I will take a few vacation days, but I will still be plugged in. I will be working. I will be blogging and I will be painting!!! And of course, Sean and I are also teaching our e-course, that starts on April 20. {there’s still space available, if you want to come with us!!}

My Etsy shop is open and all orders will be shipped as usual. I’ll be checking email, but due to the traveling, it might take me a little longer than usual to get back to you.

Thanks so much for all the support, encouragement, enthusiasm, and travel advice over the last few weeks. Thanks for celebrating this adventure with us. We can’t wait to share it with you!

I’ll see you back here on the blog once I get settled in Paris!!

AU REVOIR xoxo

Have a fantastic journey friend! I hope it exceeds every expectation. =)
Have a fantastic journey, will be following along...living vicariously through your posts and tweets :)
This is wonderful for you, and inspiring for the rest of us. Enjoy your trip. And let the rest of us know when you decide to run away forever to Paris.
Have a safe trip!
Yeah! have fun!
Have a safe trip! Looking forward to hearing about your adventure! :)
Wow, so exciting, safe travels and we are really looking forward to the class!
have a fantastic and safe journey....can't wait for class to begin.....
Thrilled for you both! What a lovely adventure! Oh I can only imagine the inspiration that you will be exposed to in France. Can't wait to see how it manifests itself in your work. Best of luck and safe travels! :)
Enjoy! How exciting:)
Happy & safe travels! Have a "French breakfast" for me tomorrow. You know, cheese. :)
Have a fine little day!!! =)
So excited for you! And totally jealous, but only in the positive "look at the kind of possibilities there are!" sort of way. The INSPIRING kind of jealousy!

Question...how are you going to fulfill orders from your Etsy shop while you're on the other side of the pond?

I think a lot of people do dream about a trip like this, but can't fathom how they could take an entire month off work. And for self-employed folks (like me), that would mean almost zero income. I'd never considered hiring someone to come in maybe once a week to process orders (if I were away). I'd need to get A LOT more organized, but that is totally do-able. Just thinking about this is getting me excited!

I'd love to hear more about the logistics of running your business while on your wonderful adventure.

Oh & have FUN!!!
Have a lovely, merry, happy and safe trip sweet Marisa and Sean! Looking forward to your new wonderful experience in paris! Love to you and yours!
so exciting. good luck!
Wow! Have fun! Can't wait to read your blog posts about your adventures. :)
Bon voyage Marisa. I can hardly wait to see your blog posts from Paris. How fantastic. Enjoy.
Have a fun time in Paris. I know ya'll are going to have a great time exploring.
My husband and I got married in Lucerne, Switzerland and honeymooned across Europe ending in Paris. It was fabulous! We want to go back one day. But in the meantime, I will be following you! Have fun and post lots of pictures!!!
