This was one of my FAVORITE DAYS during vacation 2007 - we took the "long cut" down the Moose River Rd instead of heading straight to the New York Turnpike!  What a great morning we had!  Here is a companion piece I made to go with the one above, it's just a mirror image with a different photo.  Digital credits the same!

poki's photo projects 365

I have challenged myself to create AT LEAST 365 scrapbook layouts this year (I won't say one a day because you never know what might happen ... I might get tired and need a break!)  I just posted a list at DigiScrapObsession of layouts completed thus far in 2011 - I am at 11 today on Jan 8.  Since I am at Rockin' R I still have a few hours to get more done before I head home at 5:00 p.m. tomorrow!
