More Halloween

Sophie was a bat for Halloween this year... I really didn't get any good pictures because Sophie really hated the bat ears and was not cooperating.

Sophie got her hair cut this week, so I made her wear her costume again so I could get a few better pictures...

These are the treats I made for trick-or-treating at work. As usual, it seemed like a good idea until I had to make 45 of them.

Haunted Mansion

We are decorating our hall in a haunted mansion theme this year... it looks much spookier in person.

Inside the mansion w/o the flash... it's very dark.

Seattle Part 4 - Friday Harbor

Beautiful Friday Harbor, San Juan Islands.

Whale watching boat.

What we were supposed to see on our whale watching trip...

What we actually saw during our whale watching trip... this is a picture of an approx. 2,400 lb Steller sea lion (and there's a harbor seal in the background if you look really closely). We also saw 2 Minke whales (small baleen whales), but they were way too fast to capture one in a picture. But, we did not see any orcas, which was a big disappointment.

Seattle Part 3

Snoqualmie Falls.

Pike Place Market and the first Starbucks across the street.

Views of the city from Gas Works Park...

Seattle Part 2 - Forks, La Push and Port Angeles!

Hehe.

We ate lunch at The Lodge.

First Beach at La Push.

The drive between Port Angeles and Forks was gorgeous! I was very excited because the weather was overcast and foggy... perfect "Twilight" weather! :)

The restaurant in Port Angeles where Edward and Bella had their first date!

The movie theatre in Port Angeles.

View of Seattle from the ferry.

Seattle Part 1

The Bellevue Botanical Gardens.

The view from the Space Needle. It was rainy and overcast today in true Seattle style.

The exterior of Angela and Dan's beautiful house... they have done an incredible job remodeling the entire house!

The view out of Angela and Dan's guest bedroom... I'm so jealous (there's a lake beyond the trees that can be seen better in the winter)!

Sophie's summer cut

My new favorite things...

Check out this 3-D Eiffel Tower that I just made with my new "Summer in Paris" cartridge! Love it!

I am starting to dabble in beading/jewelry-making... we'll see how it goes.

I adapted a necklace I saw online into an "Eclipse"-inspired version.

Thank you Bethany for taking great pictures!
