Erica's Visit | Sunday

Erica's last day was Sunday, and she was bound and determined to make it worth her while.

So, we hopped on a ferry early in the morning for Bainbridge Island.

Our destination?

Port Gamble....

I mean seriously, look at this... wouldn't it be your desitnation too?

So, we had breakfast at the Cafe there - which was pretty yummy. The Service on the other hand, left something to be desired. Then, we walked around to the little shops in the houses on the main road.

There aren't a ton there... but they're all really cute, and have neat gifts in them!

After breakfast and shopping we headed to Poulsbo - Erica's Dream town to shop some more. We all went our separate ways in the town, but all found eachother at the book store... again :)

Here's where my pictures get a little out of order... but none the less, we wrapped up our day by headed back on the ferry for Seattle, with a quick stop at Uwajimaya and Barnes and Noble, we tucked ourselves in that evening.

Then, Monday morning *Sniff... Sniff* I watched my little lady walk into the Sea Tac Airport to head back home. She navigated the airport like a pro, getting her ticket, through security and to her gate all by herself!

So proud.

Love you sweetie! Thanks so much for a great visit!

The Wreath

It all started with Pinterest - yes, that rant about Pinterest still stands, but this was inspired from there. I wanted to recreate a wreath of bulbs, I hate buying wreaths since they expire year after year, this one will hang in my home for a LONG time, possibly till I die... that is how much I love how it turned out! So, being my crafty (and somewhat frugal) self, I set off to find the materials to make it. Finding that bulbs are not quite as cheap as you'd expect, I found them for 80% off. This wreath, at cost would have run me about $125. ACK! I made it for under 35%! So pretty! So pleased! Many have asked me to make one for them - my answer - you buy the bulbs and materials and I'll glue it together!

My Happy Place

I have a lot of happy space in my world - but the happiest of all is Marvista Park in Normandy Park, just a few short miles from my house. It's the one place where I can go, be a kid, and then feel completely refreshed afterwards. Vacation is coming... T minus a few weeks now, and I feel like I've earned the crap out of it this year! But until then, a weekly trip to my happy place with the furry one should do it! I love his little feet trying to take on the leaves! So cute.

Merry Craftmas!!

When I was little Mom had one of these to put out every Christmas. I remember her tossing it out having fixed its hot glue after every warm summer in the shed, she wasn't particularly attached to it but I was. Having collected enough baby food jars (finally) I put it together this weekend! Looks just like I remember it and now it is sitting in my closet awaiting its debut next weekend!

R is for Ronnebeck!
