I'm sure it adds a nice touch to your yard.<br /><br />As always, your creations bring a smile to my face :) You create such lovely things, my friend.<br /><br />Thank you for the sweet visit to my blog and I'm so glad you order arrived. I can't believe it took that long! I am guessing it's because of the Christmas season...the Postal Service seems to slow down a bit during this crazy time :)<br /><br />Wishing you a joyous weekend!

You can google that name. They have a pretty good selection. I was just having a conversation with my daughter at Thanksgiving. They now have 2 cats and 2 dogs so she said not to expect much decorations from them this year.

And I do plan to use that spot in Sisters, OR for future passage of time photos of hubby and I. I just love that little town and always dreamed of living there, but too spendy for our situation....so will be happy to visit now and then.

I'll have to be content to visit. That rock wall was here when we moved in, but had a big crack and it was leaning out towards the road. Then when the big tree blew down last April, it made the wall crack even more. I feel good that it is now standing strong and upright again!

I'd feel old doing everything you all have done. I also love the photo of the two of you and its nice to know a picture was taken back when you were engaged. You can mark the hands of time and maybe take more pictures throught the years.

It really looks great and sturdy too. Your kitties must be in heaven, to be able to get out in the fresh air. What a great idea for them. We have always loved Sisters and have spent many a vacation there. A really beautiful place in a bunch of beautiful OR places. Your pics are amazing and that is a pretty cute couple sitting there..Thanks for your kind visit.

My husband was set on having a railroad tie wall! Oh no I said! Really? Not my fave for my little "cottage". And yes, these luminaries are so so cute.. I plan to print out some Christmas ones. It's fun to embellish them too. I'm hooked on printables from online, as can make so many fun things out of them at a very low cost. A fun way to get my "fix" for wanting to buy some little thing! Take care.. have a good week!

Of course, I love stone walls of any kind; love the rusticity. The photo of you and your hubby is so sweet. You can just see the love you have for each other. Very nice. You are so talented, my friend. Your photo albums are so pretty. You really have an eye for harmony. The luminary is so cottagey. I went to the website and pinned it. I see you enhanced yours with pearls and crocheted lace. That really makes it special! Thanks for stopping by and leaving the nice comment last week. I appreciate that. I'll be posting again soon. Have a lovely Sunday.

I was in ...HI Marilyn... what a wonderful response! I was in HEAVEN seeing the forest and tamaracks and the deep greens, and yellows of the tams. I felt like I WAS in Heaven! When I lived in SW Washington (east of Vancouver, WA), I lived right IN the forest practically, and I took it all for granted. I miss it so much! I could wander gravel roads like you get to do now... and I REALLY do miss it! I bet seeing snow on the yellow tamaracks would be just stunning!<br /><br />You should go check out Seneca Pond Crafts. She's on Artfire.com and also I think Etsy. Her printables are just my style and I love them all! Those little luminaries are just darling, and she has some Christmas ones too which I just NEED to get. They are so reasonably priced, so when I need a fix of something new, I can go and download something of hers and be totally happy!<br /><br />We haven't gotten any snow yet. I'm so glad. Not ready for it but I know it'll come soon. Have a great week! hugs..

I enjoyed every...My goodness, Marilyn, what a post! I enjoyed every word you shared! I was SO excited that you and your husband got to take a road trip out west into the mountains! It is so wonderful and refreshing, although I am WELL familiar with buckboard kind of roads, these are the kind of roads that inevitably lead to the most promising little spots to visit, although I'm so sorry that you didn't get to see the river! It is a beautiful river though! It would be very disappointing to not get to see it, but it looks like you had so much fun in Sisters, Oregon. Great picture of Mount Jefferson! I loved seeing the changing colors of the tamaracks, it looks so much like our forests here! Amazingly now, our tamaracks still have their color, but with snow on them. I haven't seen that before. Usually we don't get snow that sticks until after the tams drop their leaves. <br /><br />I enjoyed seeing all the beautiful things you have crafted! You are so talented and make the loveliest things with all your printouts and designs. That little bird luminary is just the cutest thing ever! What a delightful gift for someone! I must go and check that out. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit with you today, and I am so thankful that you and your husband are going to be able to get out and travel a bit too! And also, SO thankful that your rock wall got completed, oh what a blessing that is too, so many good things to read in this post, I'm just so happy for you! Big hugs to you today (we are getting our second snowstorm of the month here, lots of snow on the ground for November!)
