Scrap Till You Drop!

Or was is it shop till you drop?  Hello Blog visitors!   I just got back from a great 4 day scrap retreat, where I scrapped, walked, shopped, and visited with other scrappers.  It was kind of like a giant slumber party!  I got lots of pages done, among them some heritage pages of my husband's family. I will show them another time.

  It also was fun to have a new place to walk. We had the retreat in an old Victorian house and there are several old restored homes in the neighborhood. I took lots of photos to share of my walk.  I finally remembred to take my camera the last day!

These two houses were my favorites.

 Love the screened in porch on the side.

And the large wrap around porch!

And the upstairs, that round window upstairs front!

This next house had spectacular landscaping.

Notice the shaped bushes between the sidewalk and street.

 Great potted plants on that porch!

Great iron fence and posts.

Fountains and water treatments.

I just had to photograph this bottle tree next to the porch on another house!

Then I went to the city park:

 I wanted to go through the arbor path, but there was always someone sitting in there or sleeping in there!  So, I was  a little anxious about walking through it.

Below you can see the courthouse in the background.

I hope you enjoyed the walk.  I got 15000 steps that day! 

Above is the house of our retreat.  I enjoy coming out on the porch in the mornings for alone time.

 I just walk across the street to church on Sunday mornings.  Although the church building is a hundred years old, and magnificent on the inside the church that calls it home now is only 8 years old.

And for the T Gang and for Elizabeth over at Altered Book Lover where she is celebrating T Stands for Tuesday here is my submission.  Here is a photo of a  tea card from my archives. 

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you all have a great Tuesday!
