Hi all,
One of my best memories of 2017 was a road trip my husband and I took to Oregon, the Columbia Gorge. I remember I just kept telling Andy, "This must be where fairies come from"...It is so beautiful and everywhere you expect to see fairies or at the very least, fairy houses!
Brenda brought up something so sad it made me cry all the while it was happening! Yes, we went in the spring, before those nasty fires!!
So my card today is in remembrance of our Columbia Gorge trip in 2017!
Thanks for looking!

Gorgeous coloring, Robin! Thanks for a wonderful challenge today. I'm so enjoying everyone's memories and I'm adding the Columbia Gorge to places I want to see eventually. Alas, I've never visited Oregon. I do hope the fairies stayed safe from the fires.

What a wonderful challenge and a beautiful memory, Robin. Love the magical fairies, the Colombia Gorge that inspired this must be breathtaking. Would love to go down and see it one day.

The Columbia Gorge is a magical place indeed and your artful fairy tribute touches my heart. It's just a couple of hours away from my home and though I haven't visited it this year, reports from many say despite the fires, it's beauty remains.The fairies will never leave and they will help Mother Nature.
