Rob and I spent a wonderful weekend in Maine....Ahhhh, how I love it there. Mostly it is because of the people, the wonderful/warm/friendly people there. Let's just say I sure am lucky to have married into this family. We stayed with Rob's Aunt Donna...she is one of the most creative, down to earth, giving people I know...and BOY can she cook! LOL She doesn't read my blog (I am not sure any of my family or his family does) So it is safe to say I am not kissing up when I tell you that relaxed and welcomed is how you feel when you are at Donna's. John is a perfect match for her and I am so glad they have each other. We also visited with Aunt Vassie and Grammy, you remember me telling you about them and all the help they gave us during the Florida cottage adventure. There was a picnic we went to at John's cabin deep in the woods by a rambling river...I could have stayed for a week and still wanted more. It's funny how fast time goes by when you are truly enjoying yourself. It was so peaceful and rejuvenating. I laughed so hard so many times, and really enjoyed myself. I also designed cards for my convention swaps while I was there! It is always easy for me to be inspired by the beauty all around me when I go visit. Here is a picture from the camp deep in the woods:
I know the colors are too pretty to be real, but this hasn't been touched. The sky is that blue and the trees are that green. The colors in Maine are Stunning. Here are some cute chicks:
I don't know anything about chickens so can't tell you what kind these are, but John and Donna have chickens and baby chicks, and I just can't resist them, they are so cute! Fresh eggs every day is pretty awesome too!
Here is a shot of a humming bird...not the best, they are so fast!
and here is a shot of what we brought back with us...a De-soto:
Let's just say the ride home in the truck with the trailer and this boat...um...I mean car...was a LONG one! LOL.
On to stamping! Here are the last two cards from June's Stamp Camp:
Great all Occasion card, easily masculine birthday.
This is such a sweet card. I have to take a better photo of it. The frosting is yummy using our shimmer paint. Next time I will show you the grouping and the project we made. For now, I am so tired and it is back to work for me tomorrow. So I will leave you with a Quiet Corner of Connecticut Sunset. This is what I saw from my back deck, colors are not touched up, it really looked like fire in the sky.
I hope you had a very Happy Fourth of July Weekend. God Bless America and our troops who sacrifice so much for our freedom to enjoy it.
