I'm Coming Back To Blogging Soon...

I've been crafting away and I'm very excited to show it all to you!

Adding Your E Mail To Your Blogger Profile 101...

I got a email from my good friend Carmen she wrote,
"Robin,
You really must add your email to your blogger profile. I always try to reply to you and it's no comment blogger. :( "

I had no idea! (though for many of you this is old news!)

You see, when someone comments on your blog you get a E mail with their comment in it-If their email is added to their blogger profile you can just hit "reply" to that comment in your email and answer them back. If they don't add their email to their blogger profile and you try to respond to their comment it shows up as "no comment blogger" and you can't get a email to them.
Wow, I hope I'm not confusing anybody!
Now, there might be some of you out there that don't want an email back and that's fine...Then this post isn't for you unless you like hummingbird pictures.
But if you wouldn't mind a response every once in a while via email here's a tutorial for you.

 I never do a post without a photo~It just wouldn't seem right to me.

For the tutorial-Click on the photos to make them larger and follow the red arrows:

Our Twilight Getaway~ Part One...

As many of you know, I live in Western Washington... My husband and I have been going over to Forks for years even before Twilight was anything to talk about.  We go there to fish and hike-It's some of the most beautiful country you will ever see. But this time when we went I actually took some Twilightish photos to share with all you Twilight Fans. We like staying in La Push on First Beach at the Quileute Oceanside Resort-We always stay in one of their luxury cabins right on the beach. They are clean and have huge windows so you can enjoy the view no matter the weather.

Here is the kitchen in the one bedroom cabin...They supply really nice dishes and cookware and even have a dishwasher.

Jacuzzi tub and the view from it...

The living room and it's view~No TVs and our cell phones couldn't find service from our cabin...There is only wireless in the hotel office-So our stay was nice and secluded! 

Early the first morning, I am lounging on the couch in my lodging pj's cause that's what you wear while staying in a cabin. I am eating eggs that I just cooked, drinking coffee...

...enjoying this view out my window

 (this picture was taken from the couch inside the cabin)

When low and behold what do I see? Seriously, this freaked me out a little~Wolf ears? Is it Jacob and his pack?

No...It's just a German Shepherd. You should have seen his brother though, he really did look like a wolf and was much bigger and a russet color, he walked right by my window! But I haven't learned to hold my camera while eating breakfast...YET.

For more information on the Quileute Oceanside Resort click HERE.  They have larger luxury cabins, smaller cabins, a new motel and RV sites. Costs range from $80 to $280 per night depending on the season. 

The Quileute Oceanside Resort did not pay me to blog about this, nor did they give me anything free~

But if they did it would be okay with me (just putting it out there!)
