Long walks

Here is the progress on my craft kit:


The only thing that bugs me is that the guitar doesn't go through the mouth of the mask. Maybe it is a magic mask?



Brandon and I have been going on very long walks in the evenings. The weather has been so nice, and we are preparing for our long voyage on foot through Spain!

I saw this is someone's yard and the license plate made me laugh:

Summer Part 2

Brandon and I went on a huge thrift store challenge Saturday all over the Northwest corner of Oregon (and into Washington). It was one of those good days where we found something cool everywhere we went. For instance, I found this 1960's craft kit illustrated below. Kind of like a paint by number, but really a multi-media by number using stones, crushed glass, glitter, cording and tiny tiles. I will keep you posted on my progress.
We also went to the board walk at Seaside and felt like we stepped into a warped world. We have been through Seaside a million times, but never stopped to go to the beach. I never knew such an awesome place existed. Bumber cars, tilt-a-whirl, carousels, arcades, candy shop after candy shop, tons of people. I couldn't believe I was on the Oregon Coast.
