Greetings… We are now traveling to escape the ice and snow of Alaska and won’t be home again until mid January. My husband and I are now ensconced in our RV and heading toward Organ Pipe National Park in Arizona for a few days of hiking, birding and relaxing.
Before arriving in the hopefully snow-less southwest, we spent Thanksgiving with our extended family at a lodge near Mt. Hood, Oregon and enjoyed snowball fights and sledding in the 30+ degree weather at about 6,000 ft. It was beautiful. We were snowed in for an evening but in the morning the sun came out and melted the snow from the trees which formed a tumbling cascade of diamonds in the light.
I love traveling for many reasons but one especially… it inspires me to create from a different perspective than when I am at home. You can see one of the pieces designed from my travels by going to my website and clicking on Gallery. The Beach Morning Glories (brooch and earrings) was designed after a visit to the Gulf Coast of Texas. I know I’ll be inspired by something I see on this trip and I’ll let you know when I am. Thanks for visiting my site and Happy Holidays!
