Blog Candy Revisited

I never heard from my winner of my last blog candy post, so I am going to randomly draw a winner from anyone that posts on here about stamping (anywhere, not just this post) starting today through June 11th. Check the archive (May 11) for the picture of the goodies! It's a card, ribbons, beads/wire, and I will of course have to add something else fun......off to Hobby Lobby to see what sales there are!

Here are a few (of the 300!) of my favorite pictures from our Wisconsin vacation. I realized that I had said I would post pictures awhile back and never did! I made a slide show with some of the pictures. Scroll all the way down the page -- it's at the bottom! It is so beautiful there, and the sunsets were amazing!
This one is my beautiful daughter:

And on another night (see the seagull?):

And yet one more -- all three of these are taken from the same place -- right next to the dock at our friend's cabin, on the Green Bay side, where we stayed:

This was such a sweet sight -- Moms and their babies out for a morning snack -- there must have been over 40 geese all together! The little babies were so fuzzy! This was taken near a town called Sturgeon Bay, WI. We were on our way to the Maritime Museum, where there was a special Pirate exhibit. We had just seen "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" the day before and thought it was appropriate to visit the museum to see artifcats from real pirates and their ships. It was fascinating -- stuff from famous pirates' ships (like Blackbeard) and not so famous -- but ALL interesting stuff!


And one of my favorite flowers (Bleeding Hearts) that I happened to find everywhere in the town of Fish Creek (and aren't they a lovely shade of PINK!):

I finally got a card made today -- I made it for my sister and she has already seen it in my SCS Gallery, but I didn't tell her it was for her!! I couldn't come up with ANYthing for the SCS Sketch today, which is weird -- it was simple. But I made this instead:

I put in seed beads in the middles -- man, that stuff goes everywhere! I had to get out the little vacuum just after I opened the bottle! Sunflowers remind me of summer~

  1. I guess I will chose here to post. First of all Thank you for offering a chance to get the blog candy. I love your beautiful pictures! I admire people who can capture such beauty on a piece of photo paper! Very pretty!
    If I took pictures like that I would use them in my cards! They are so much preetier than my stamping. My love is stamping too.

  18. Beautiful photos (luck you!) and a wonderful card. I like the way you used the seeds in the flower centers. I'm a sunflower lover myself and since I teach card-making at the LSS, I'm going to keep that in mind for one of my summer classes. Gotta have at least one sunflower card and one ladybug card, donchya think? :)
