We Interrupt The End Of Summer...

...To bring you FALL!

Sorry I couldn't even wait till the first of September. Here are a few of the craft ideas I have shared with you over the years here on my website~Know that more Fall (and Christmas) ideas are coming up in the weeks ahead~

The way I look at it, if the trees are changing colors, and they are here in Seattle, then I can post Fall crafts!

P.S. I'll try to wait until October before I share my Christmas crafts...BUT don't count on it!

Thank you so much for the wonderful birthday wishes last Friday! They really meant alot to me. A big sloppy mushy thank you goes out to my sister Lori for posting THIS cute post on her blog last week! I received some wonderful comments, e mails and gifts from many of you.
I had a GREAT birthday~My husband took the whole week off from work to celebrate AND my mom surprised me by showing up on my door step! She drove all day in traffic to be with me for a few days, it was so great to spend time with her. 

So thanks again~ You girls really made my day!

Some More About Me...

I love doing photography.
Okay, if you read my blog you know that!

I used to own a floral shop called The Robin’s Nest.

I live in the city but dream of living a country life once again.

I am a good friend, I can keep a secret.

I'm a very content person and pretty much just want to stay home during the week.

I eat chocolate EVERYday.


I started golfing last year and LOVE it, who'd thought?

My husband is my best friend-I don’t just say that either...He really is.

Writing a craft book IS in my future. 

I used to weigh close to 200 pounds.

My husband and I hold hands while watching TV at night.

I am a witty person and don't take life over seriously.

I tend to add in alot of movie & Seinfeld quotes  in my everyday conversations.

I believe the bible is black and white, there are no gray areas-What people think is gray they just don't understand.

I believe God is perfect, hence believing the bible is 100% true.

God changed me  big time 11 years ago.
I'm not the same person I was and couldn't be happier!

I'm VERY forgiving.

I can't/don't eat gluten (flour, rye, barley or oats) or MSG's.

I've ran marathons, triathlons and have jumped out of an airplane.

I want to climb Mt Rainier.

I want to start running again when I am 55 years old.

I hike alot.

I like crafting & sewing.

Christmas is my favorite holiday.

I can't decide if I like the ocean or the mountains better.

I've watched Pride and Prejudice WAY, WAY, WAY too many times.

My husband says my drugs of choice is buying Kindle books & Starbucks coffee.

I used to love hot weather but the older I get the more mild I want the temps.

I've been a procrastinator my whole life...

BUT I'm rarely ever late to an appointment or event.

My feet and hands are always cold-I use a space heater even in the summer.

I look forward to my morning coffee, even thinking about it the night before.

I believe people CAN change.

I believe in miracles~♥

Camp Beck

My husband Tim and I have camping gear readily accessible in our garage at all times.  He came home from work the other night and I told him I didn't have the baby for two days & that we should get out of Dodge. So we headed out towards Forks Washington. While we were there we had a little target practice fun, it's a great stress reliever!

Most of you probably don't know this but I've been shooting guns pretty much my whole life.  I even had a stint where I shot competitively.

Still felt some stress so I did some rifle shooting...

I found the more stress you need to relieve, the more powerful a gun you need to shoot...This 44 did the trick!

I also wanted to show you what the true area around Forks looks like.  The picture above is the tent we slept in-I consider this yuppie camping though it was a primitive camping spot (no bathrooms/no running water.) This tent was like a small condo!

This is the view that was all around us-It was a very secluded spot right next to the Hoh river.  Sorry to say, I did not see any vampires-The only bloodsuckers around here were mosquitoes...There weren't many of those around either, thank goodness!

There were trees growing out of trees. If you don't like the color green you won't like Forks Washington-It's smack dab in the middle of a rain forest.

Two things I love about camping...First is sitting around a glowing campfire with my true love~

Second is the fact that my husband does all the cooking AND brings me coffee and breakfast in bed, er sleeping bag that is!

I will leave you with this last photo of the area around Forks-I took this picture in the morning-The coast is nearby so this marine deck was hovering over us for a while-The sun was just breaking through in this shot~I could of sworn I heard a wolf or two howling in the distance.  :)
