It has been a year since my last post. I’m returning to my blog to record my crafting experiences.

About that beach trip
I have to smile because it happened. Laura and I ate, crafted, napped, watched the ocean and walked on the beach.
I did some hunting, too! I hunted shells and sea foam and sunsets! Here are some of my “captures.”

Freebies
Recently picked ip a couple of freebies at outdoor stores. They’ll be used for collage words and images, though the NC Wildlife mag is full of good info.
This is an American Woodcock, the bird that walks so funny. Not to be confused with a Wood Duck!

New Punch!
It’s from Amazon, inspired by Becky Bokern.
The image is from a Land’s End catalog, a very good source of colorful images.
Notice, I folded the paper over to get a thicker surface to punch.

We Got There!
Back to the beach, Laura and I arrived in time to watch the race that was going on at home.😄
That’s how I felt, getting to the beach!

New (old) Toy!
I recently saw Margrete Miller use a metal Spirograph on a journal page. I ordered one immediately on Amazon.
(I thought I published this, yesterday!)
I discovered it comes with putty to hold the outer disc in place. Better luck next time.

Me and my Camera
We took a few interesting photos yesterday. A crepe myrtle preparing to shed bark, and…
Night time clouds and the “buck” moon.

Further Along
From US-74 between Laurinburg and Lumberton, I took Hwy 41 to Lake View to show Laura this pretty place.
It’a pretty park with what looks like a spring fed lake. The trees in the water are cypress with dripping Spanish moss. I wish I’d gotten out to take more pictures. Maybe next time.

On the first part of the journey…
I told Laura to find us a cool place to have brunch. She delivered!
This is on East Franklin St. in downtown Monroe, NC. As we approached, we heard bluegrass music blasting, but it was from a head shop two doors up. For a minute, we thought we were in Boone! (I think they call those dispensaries nowadays.)
East Frank was kitchy and cool, like the Common Market was in 2010 Charlotte.
On the way back to the car, there were painted sunflowers, some words of wisdom, and a tree with a butt!
We continued on our journey.

“Don’t cry because it’s over…
Laura and I are back from a trip to the beach. I can hardly keep my eyes open. Enjoy this video. I’ll be back, tomorrow.
