This lighthouse set is the first stamping set that I owned. I love it but don't use it enough. Thanks Cindy for the push to get the dust off of it and used.
Today we are going to Peggy's Cove to the lighthouse. I have never been there, so of course I had to google it and read up. I learned a lot this am. I like the folk story that says it was named after a sole survior of a ship that sank. Her name was Margaret, but was called Peggy. It is my fear of ships sinking... think the Titantic... that will keep my feet on solid ground. That and the fact that I never learned how to swim. So I will be tending the nets and watching what has been already caught so something doesn't happen to our fish.
But while I am waiting for those on the boats, I was thinking of going to the little teashop and having a bowl of clam chowder with a piece of fresh baked bread with lots of butter, and what ever the dessert of the day is. Anyone else want to join me?
This card was made possible by Krischir. A couple of weeks ago, she sent me a RAK. She gave me the die cut shape and she also gave me a piece of screen. I used that screen to make my fishing net. Thanks Kris.
My sand dollar was stamped on handmade paper.
