On Vacation

And now that I have posted some of the pictures that I promised of the cards and projects that I stamped I will tell you about my vacation.
I am still gone but am presently at my friends house in Michigan, so I have access to the computer. We have had a great time so far. The scenery has been awesome. We drove through Idaho, and Wyoming then into the corner of Colorado where we met my brother, James. He was going to Wisconsin, so we met up and traveled together for a while, through Nebraska, and we dipped down to Kansas just so we could say we went there. Then through Iowa and Illinois and then he went north to Chicago and we went further east through Indiana before going north to Michigan. And we went through the corner of Ohio. I have been able to get quite a few souveniers except for Illinois and Ohio. About the only places that had souveniers were the truck stops and we traveled a lot on the back highways rather than the freeways so we would see more scenery, and there weren't as many truck stops.
One of our stops was Minden, Nebraska at the Harold Warp Pioneer Museum and it was awesome. I would recommend it to anyone who loves antiques or american history. We spent 6 hours there and couldn't see everything and that was going through quickly, you could spend two days there and still not see everything. It was truly amazing seeing the progression of history and trying to imagine what it was like before our modern technology.
We crossed the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers, that was not unlike crossing any other river except for the concept of where we were.
When we got to northern Indiana we stopped at Amish Acres. We didn't take time to go on the tour, we just visited the gift shops, but we did see a lot of Amish people riding bicycles and a few with their horse and buggy going to the grocery store (they had there own parking area for the horses).
We made it to Michigan of friday. We tried not to drive after it got dark so we could enjoy the scenery. I would say it took us so long because we kept slowing down to take pictures, I have taken a ton. I'm going to be busy scrapbooking our trip!
On saturday we went down to a lake that is just about thirty minutes away from my friends house and we camped for the night, and went fishing. It was fun.
And that brings you up to today which is Sunday.
Talk to you soon,
Carrie

Just keeping busy

Hello, again, I don't have much to update even though I have been busy.
I had the stamping/scrapbooking open house and it was fun but not real successful on a holiday weekend. I had fun scrapbooking all day though with my friend Nancy who hung out with me for the whole day. And now I have samples that I can upload on this blog so you can see them. (I'll get to that soon.)
We got the trailer back (yeah!), so now we just need to load up some clothes and food and we are ready to go. On the road again......
I would like to say that I have been sewing... but I have not. I did however finish buying the fabric, zippers, thread, etc. and looked over the patterns so I am ready to go. And working on the invitations, programs, etc., just waiting on the final wording to print them up. Heather and I went out to the place where her wedding will be held and scoped out how the setup will be, so that is done and we can move forward with reserving stuff like tables, chairs, etc. and finalizing decorations. It really is exciting even though it is a lot of work.
Tom went fishing to Montana with his friend Tom. He said that it was a successful trip, they caught lots of fish and actually could have a fish fry.
Well that's about it for now, I will try to get those pics uploaded and let you know how the trip is going.
