Boy Time Flys.... Warning Long Post...

Well it has been a bit, I meant to join in on the last challenge at Meljen's and the swap at Card Making Paradise. But I got a surprise call from hubby last week while he was at work. conversation went a bit like this.
N "Hi Honey"
P "Hi, I wanted to know- and I want your Honest opinion! Would you like to go to the Coast?"
N I said "Do bears poo in the woods? Yes I would love to."
P"Can you call around and get a room and I will take Monday off."
N "Sure where do you want to stay Florence, Newport or Lincoln City?"
P "Newport or Lincoln, Should I take Tuesday too?
N I said " Honey That is totally your call! But I will support whatever you do."  Yeah like I'm going to pass up a trip to the coast... HA! No way!!!

We got up Saturday no room reserved, as the motles I called said they couldn't be sure about my MCS that they wouldn't chance it. So off we go with no room for Sat, but Sunday- Teusday morning were taken care of. We staied at The Looking Glass Inn, LOVE it!!!!
Stoped at Motle 6, no rooms, stoped at a dinky place and Oh my goodness, just opening the door was enough, I couldn't even go in. So we tried another called Knights Inn. Not a lot to look at, but it was clean and they gave us a room that hadn't been used for a few days so was aired out. We had a ver nice sleep on a very comfy King size bed.

At The Looking Glass Inn, (we've staed there befor) We had a King bed with kitchen and a Garden Jacuzzy tub in it's own area, fireplace. Totaly relaxing area of the Taft district. We watched the seals and had a fire on the beach. And all in all a Lovely time. I took some pictures. Want to see?
Look below and I am going to post some. Enjoy the pictures. They make me smile.
 First night we went out for dinner. I had the Chicken Cury.
 Can you see all the seals across the bay?
 From our room
 The fire.. Love it!
 This was High tide, see the stick poking up we were way past that the night befor.
 Seal poped up in front of me so I took it's picture.
 A few tied pools, as we were leaving the coast we drove 101 down to Florance. 
The tide was out so we had to strop for a bit and enjoy the pools.
 The seals get up here on high tide and stay untill it comes back in. 
There were some young ones in the water around the rocks.
 If anyone knows what this is please let me know. It was under the grass, but caught my eye.
It was like imbedded in the rock hard but smooth.
 Our last sunset, till we meat again...
 Have a great weekend everyone! xoxo Nana

Tic Tac Toe

Another challenge from Meljen's. I adore her digi's. I chose buttons, bling and twine. Isn't she cute! Love it... My grandson loves the Borrowers. So I thought I'd send him a card.
I'm interning this challenge by the skin of my teeth again. See you soon.

Woo Hoo!!!

I can't believe I won... I won 2 things by way of Meljen's. I won the $50 digi store credit and the last challenge and got top prize which was 5 digis of choice.  I can't believe it. But wow, what fun shopping I had. I have pinned most of the digis I have won or bought on Pinterest. Check them out... She does such cute work. But they aren't so childish, you can use them for anyone!!
Thank you so much Melissa and DT. Special thanks to Ray Ann Senior DT Member and Blog Writer xoxo Nana

Up Date on Washi Fun Book

I made a post back in Nov of a book I won, and finely got to have a play with it. Love this wonderful gift I got from Ann Martin. I love her blog too!!!  I made the tray for my mom and here is how it turned out. Please excuse the dirty table. lol It is well used and loved. This is the inside that everyone sees.
 This is the outside and I wish I had done them the other way around as I like this side better. But it turned out really cute I think. Will have to make some more to go with it.
So if you like Washi tape I would recommend Jessica's Book  it is a lot of fun!

Earrings for Little Lorna

My sweet niece has been taking care of the chickens for me since I got pneumonia again. She gathers the eggs everyday with a big smile. She is the sweetest... Well to our surprise her ears are still pierced. And so I made her favorite bird into ear rings, Owls.. And her favorite color is blue. So she now has some pretty little blue owl earrings to wear to school tomorrow. Made out of paper...
Hope everyone gets a good night and has a great Monday!
