Last of Ireland, but more travels ahead

Ireland was fun.

We meet a lot of interesting and fun people. Saw a lot of interesting things and learned a lot about Ireland. Saw the country side by train and bus. Ate amazing local food. Immersed ourselves in the local culture. Had a ghost haunting the hall of the B an B. Saw endless amounts of castles. Visited the last port of call of the Titanic. Hung my feet off the Cliffs of Moher. Krista was able to able to enjoy a frothy Guinness freshly brewed. Rode along the Ring of Kerry. Randomly stopped to stretch our legs and see the sights.

This man and his donkey were selling fruits and homemade goods.

This little guy was spent from his travels.

Krista and I had the opportunity to see first hand how herding sheep is done. We learned how the dogs are trained. Then we watched the dogs herd the sheep. Was really neat to watch.

What a view for eating lunch. I had ordered shepherds pie. (This was the small plate)

Soooo good and filling.

There's a lot of beautiful bridges in Dublin.

We stayed at a cute little hostel call the Tipperary House. Now hostels are a very cheap way to travel. I will say they are not for everyone. If you can share a room with a bunch of strangers and want to save money, this is for you. It's a great way to meet new people. If you really don't care for that, then get a hotel room. If you are traveling with a group of friends, getting a hotel room might be the cheaper way to go.

Krista is ecstatic that she got the top bunk.

GOOD BYE IRELAND,

YOU'VE BEEN GREAT!!!

Welcome to

Scotland There should be no surprise that us girls would go here. The first day we drove around and found a really cute B and B. The next day we picked up Kristlynne. ( that's Kristas sister in law) I know what your thinking two crazy gals was trouble but three crazy gals. All 3 of us have some kind of connection with Scotland. As we were driving back from Sterling we stopped at the Kelpies . These horse heads are huge. They can be seen from the highway. A lot of creativity and work when into creating these. As an artist I can really respect what the artist has created. ...

DIY Wedding Ring Box

It's been a while since I shared a DIY project. My little brother got married, there's a few projects that I did for this joyous occasion. I am really excited about how they turned out. I wanted to share with everyone the Wedding ring box project. The bride has shown me a picture of one that she liked online. And I thought it would be an easy task to make one instead of buying one. I found this little box at Jo Ann's craft store. Frist I started by removing the hardware. Stained it a dark color. After that was done drying, it was painted with a cream color. Then lightly sanded the corners and some of the flat surfaces, for a rustic look. I used transferable paper to get the image onto the box. I had purchased a small thing of silk and used Polly fill, for where the rings will sit. I did have an oopsie, had put the words inside the lid upside down. It was an easy fix. I couldn't be any happier with the way it turned ...

Capri Italy

The island of Capri is a beautiful one. Here is just a few pictures that I thought everyone would enjoy. We are off and headed to the Island This is a Italy Coast Guard boat. Once a Coastie, always a Coastie. It looks like, they don't want cars driven into the water. The roads are very narrow. This is a very cute small town. It was surprising and scary at how close the drivers would get to each other. Picture from the top of the island. What a view!!!! This is how big the buses are, on this tiny little island. Headed to the famous Blue Grotto Sunlight, passing through an underwater cavity and shining through the seawater, creates a blue reflection that illuminates the cavern The water gets a darker blue the further you go in. After the Grotto, boarded the boat that would be taking us back to Sorrento, Italy. ...
