I Went To Alaska!!

I went on Vacation to Alaska, virtually that is. Ingrid & family took me on a Fabulous tour of The Last Frontier. The place I've always wanted to go see! I had lots of Tour Guides and was welcomed in by Ingrids family and we had a wonderful time! I even got to see one of Santa's Reindeers!! (and yes, I do believe)
Check out my Tour here! I got to play in the snow and Oh how wonderful that was (wished I could've canned some of that), a great change from the desert heat! We even played in the water and fished some (something I haven't done but once when I was a kid). It was easier to bring home cans then the real thing :) I'll have to watch when opening those, as I'm sure our 2 cats will be hovering around....lol


Thank you so very much Ingrid for the truly wonderful Vacation and all the great souvenirs! Look at all she sent me home with! I can't wait to wear my new t-shirt and in my favorite color :) I love the different deeper sound of the Windchime, already have that hangin outside. I won't list everything, you can make the picture bigger..lol
The cutting bowl will come in handy too, I have to admit I haven't seen anything like that. (guess I need to get out more)
and this came from her local yarn store....

I Love the colors!! Its handdyed yarn done in whats called "Berry Bush" from Rabbit Ridge Designs...It sure sounds as yummy as it looks!

I hope you'll take a wander through all the tour photo's (same link above) Ingrid and Family really put together a great photo tour and I know they had fun putting it together. They are full of smiles and such a friendly family!! They made me feel like part of the family.
I was floored by this package and I think I still am, but I can't say Thank you enough for such a thoughtful Vacation Package!
Thank you Ingrid!
