I'm not in Florida anymore!

Carie and I went and took the dogs out for a hike yesterday. We had a lovely time being in the trees along a creek and letting the fur babies run free. 

Some times you wonder why we take root some places.

  

Beauty is all around us. 

I just wanted to remind you that a month ago I was visiting friends in Florida combing the beach for treasures. this was a beauty that caught my eye because of the Yellow!

I knew I wasn't in Florida anymore when I came across this yesterday on my hike.

Once again it was yellow. The seashell is beautiful and all, but it doesn't do anything but look pretty. But with this treasure just think of all the potential it can do for me. 

This house was a cutie along the creek.

I may not be in Florida anymore but this is where I am taking root. 

OREGON

Get out and enjoy your surroundings this weekend.

Talent runs in the Family

My sister is so talented.  She is making Portrait Art/ Keepsake Quilts. 

Look at what she can do with a Photo.

  

This is made out of fabric. I can't even go into HOW she does this so I wanted to share it with you. 

AMAZING!!!!

The green quilt is my nephew Robert.

The  quilt below was taken from the above picture of my brother Scott and my niece Katelyn.

Carie surprised me with a VERY SPECIAL portrait quilt of my "Son" Henry

 

Go check out her ETSY store. ( This pet portrait was a special "Sister" gift)

But she does some great people portraits. It is a wonderful gift to give to someone or keep for yourself. 

On the Hunt

I just had a fabulous time visiting friends in Florida. We did some beach combing and it was like being on the best Easter hunt ever.

Jackpot!

The orchids were in bloom too. Look how beautiful they all are.

These are only a few out of the 400 pictures I took this past week.

Happy Easter.
