Crafting

Some of you know that I'm a bit of a crafter. Since I left Stampin' Up! I've found that my new favorite stamping company is Papertrey Ink. Nicole (the genius behind the stamps) posted the suggestion yesterday of using patterned paper and a square punch for a card layout. I had a little time last night and found her suggestion to work perfectly for this card. It is made with some retired(?) Stampin' Up! designer paper, pretty-in-pink, and old olive cardstock and an old sell-a-bration set "So Very". The inside has some other various sentiments to complete my thought...

Sorry about the photo quality. I'm working on that...

Thanks for stopping by. I'll probably have more vacation photos next week after our ski weekend at Giants Ridge.

Black River Skiing

I am a wildcat...

We had a great time skiing this past weekend at some of the best trails we've ever skiied. Black River State Forest, WI was perfectly groomed and has really fun hills! We skiied about 2 hours each day, completing almost all of the "intermediate" trails in the system.

Forestville Cross Country Skiing

I got a chance to try out my new tripod and the camera timer. I barely made it back to the railing with Brian before the 10 seconds was up!

The weather was fantastic! We saw numerous people out enjoying the nice day. This was taken at the overlook point.

Merry Christmas!

Check out my silly husband! :) That's a plunger stuck to his head...

I'm back...

I'm slow, I know it. We finally have an unscheduled weekend, so I can tell you all about the past few weekends.
Labor Day weekend was the Midwest Tandem Rally in Appleton. I thought the most fun part about that was seeing some of the unique bikes - especially the "family bikes". I snapped this at one of the rest stops.
The next rally that we will probably attend will be in Rochester in 2009.
