Seattle Apartment Layout

This layout is of Neal & Jess's new home in Seattle.  The insert on the tag has their address (which I blocked out).  I started this page several weeks ago and just haven't been back in my studio to finish it.  I think I was done in under five minutes once I got back on task.  I took the pictures when we were there this summer, and I have a whole second trip to Seattle to work on now, plus Chicago, plus Buffett, plus New Orleans, plus Galena, plus Christmas projects!

Galena Girls' Weekend

There's nothing better than a good laugh (and a few cocktails) with close friends.

Where Have I Been?

I haven't had time for much crafting lately.  I've been traveling!  First, at the end of October, we went to New Orleans: 

Tom and I hanging out with the Who Dat?! Nation in Championship Square in front of the Superdome before we watched the New Orleans Saints beat the Buffalo Bills.

One of the floats we saw in the Krewe of Boo parade.  Halloween is a big deal in the Big Easy--lots of celebrating and costumes.

French Quarter architecture and colors.

 

St. Louis Cathedral from Jackson Square.

A cool sign with Iowa ties AND my name we saw at Molly's at the Market pub in the Quarter. 

 

And then after a few days at home in Iowa, last week we went to Seattle for our daughter's birthday:

 

Tom and I at Volunteer Park in Seattle.

 

Neal and Jess at Fremont Peak Point Park.

Me with Jess (the birthday girl) at Volunteer Park.

Now I'm home for three full days, and then it's a girls' weekend trip to Galena, Illinois.  Seems like my trips have me going to colder and colder destinations.

 

Lots of scrapbooking in my future!
