Pittock Mansion: portland, or

Pittock Mansion in Portland, OR Well worth the $7 per person for the self guided tour! I love finding fun, cheap things to do in a big town! And I know my architect of a boyfriend really enjoyed it!


Pittock Mansion, back side of the house! Beautiful from all angles really!


This is one heck of a back yard! But, if I turned around completely you would get the view of the panoramic pic I have posted below! Well worth mowing the lawn!



I was just trying to get a photo of the mirror and the candle sticks, but after seeing it on the computer, the staircase in the mirror looks awesome!

Rhiannon and I on possibly the most wonderful marble staircase my feet will ever touch!

My Easter Fry Boxes!

I just got done putting these wonderful fry boxes together (thanks to Cathy Gill for the pattern)! They were so easy and turned out really cute! I plan on filling them for my nephew's and niece for Easter....and maybe a couple friends too! :)

Panoramic photo's

I took these wonderful picture's with my new camera! The first is the view of Portland from Pittock Mansion in Oregon. The second is Multinomah Falls in Oregon! Now, I just need to find an online company or possible a local place that can print panoramic's and still make them look good and not cost me an arm and a leg! Any idea's are welcome!

My new Adventure!

I was sitting around the house the other day thinking of new way's to make some extra cash. So, I hop online to see what new idea's and projects there are in the scrapbooking world! I found the idea for these little sticky note books on a site and thought, "hey, I can make those and sell them at bazaars!" Let me know what you all think!

Circle Journal and Bind-it-all!

This is my circle journal! She will be going in the mail tomorrow and won't return to me till about August of 2010! She will be missed, but, when she returns she will be full of wonderful pages and idea's of women from all over! I used my Zutter Bind-it-all machine to make her! What a wonderful machine! I have several more ideas on how to use it! I'll post pics here when I complete my project ideas!
