I have missed the last 3 What's On Your Workdesk Wednesdays as we were traveling. I'll give you a list of some of the places we went after I share my desk from yesterday afternoon. And this view of my desk is part of a great get together of fellow crafters brought together by
Julia at the Stamping Ground. I had just finished 2 card samples for my October class (yes, I have to get all 4 done THIS week with directions) so I can show them at my Sept. 28 class. On my desk I have some ideas to use on card # 3. (Sorry, Julia, but this post is a bit photo heavy.)
So, far left. My paper trimmer front and oodles of stuff (cards and such) sitting on top of my Scan N Cut, then baskets of odds and ends stamping stuff in baskets on shelves far back. Middle... Stamps and papers sitting on my grid paper front. Then my red box of acrylic blocks, cleaning rags, assorted Liquid Colors and Silks in baskets the far back, assorted hand tools in desk organizers and washi tapes in their racks. Far right, assorted paper, Ott light, and ink pads.
Ok, now as to our vacation. We actually played along the trip by stopping at
Meteor Crater and
Winslow, AZ the first day. We were awed by the crater and stood on the corner in Winslow. Remember the song by the Eagles, Take It Easy? We did.
Next day we stood in 4 states, Utah, Arizona, Colorado, and New Mexico at the
4 Corners Monument.
From here we went to see my brother and his wife near Denver, CO and did some touristy stuff.
Next to Cheyenne, WY and seen our daughter and SIL for a few days. Had a great time, even went to the
Terry Bison Ranch. We fed the buffalo while riding a train!
Next to Lusk, WY and had lunch with my sister-by-choice and her boyfriend. Miss her oodles.
On to stay at Sheriday, WY and over the Big Horn Mountains in north central Wyoming.
This was quite a climb up and down. Up to 8% grade going up and 10% going down.
Stopped to see our granddaughter, her hubby, and the youngest of our great grandsons.
On to Powell, WY. We stayed a few days with our youngest son, his wife, and our grandson. We didn't do much but played a lot with our grandson!
Headed home Sept. 10 through Yellowstone Park, Jackson Hole and points south. Here's my favorite scenery picture.
I think the Grand Tetons symbolize Wyoming the best. The trees were starting to change colors and snow will be falling on these majestic peaks very soon!
We drove through Monument Valley in northern Arizona but didn't stop as we spent about 4 hours there a couple years ago. Last stop, Flagstaff, AZ where we had dinner with my niece and her fiance (they were getting married 2 days later!) then home. Now, I have oodles more pics but these give you an idea of some of the sights.
Now, please head over to the
Stamping Ground and check out the links to other desks. I'll be visiting off and on today as I have to take my dad and his wife to the airport as they're heading to Denver to stay with my brother for a few days.
