I love this image of the Mackinac Bridge! I lived in Michigan's Upper Peninsula for a couple of years and traveled over this bridge frequently. Now I'm a troll (as in... I live under the bridge!) I only get to cross it occasionally. But it's such an awesome piece of human engineering. One year on Labor Day we walked it, the 5 mile span, and I really grew to appreciate just how awesome it is!
Thanks, Emily, for sharing this image with me!

This is fantastic, Pegg! LOVE it! I wll have to try the pine tree image with this! What a fabulous idea! For all those wanting this stamp: I bought this two years ago at a scrabook store in St. Ignace. It was made by Sunnyside Stamps St. Clair, MI. Hope that helps!

I found the place! They have a website here: http://sunnysidestamps.com/catalog.html
The bridge is almost at the end of the on-line catalog. The bridge stamp comes in two sizes, it looks like Emily had the larger size and it costs $12.00 for that stamp. There is also a deer stamp I *must* have and a landing seagull... oh my! I have a few lighthouse stamps already but honestly... these are great! And maybe because I've been to so many of them in person

Fabulous job!!! The Mackinac Bridge is totally awesome as is the Island... I worked there for a summer back in my 'younger' days long ago and one of my favorite memories is the bridge at night.............

Wow - you've beautifully showcased this magnificent bridge! And how special that it is one that you are actually quite familiar with. Loving all the other "stories" that people are posting too! Fab card!
