Family Time

 

My parents recently came to visit.  Here are some of the things we did. 

We went to Silverton.  We visited the Frank Lloyd Wright, Gordon House.

Scott & I tried out geocaching.  (It’s hard.  Next time we need to rent a 12-year old to help us find things!)

My parents enjoyed the Redwood Forest.

My car really didn’t like being so close to the tree!

The line wasn’t too bad.  We only waited about 25 minutes, which I hear is a short wait!

Stampin' Up Convention with my Mom!

My mother and I met in Salt Lake City for the annual Stampin' Up Convention.  It was the best convention ever because we got to choose our classes and customize our experiences.

Spring Scrapbooking Convention

I look forward to spending time with my friend, Margaret, every year at the Creating Keepsakes Scrapbooking Convention in Portland.  We go for a few days, volunteer our time to get in for free, take classes, and attend crops.  We have a crafting good time!

I won the Stampin' Up door prize!
