They all received 1st place, blue ribbons.
Needlework-Cross StitchI entered 3 framed pictures and they all received 1st place, blue ribbons.

We went camping and floated the river Saturday.

Bub, caught 5 fish!
Me & Bob
We made a few stops along the way. Waiting for the others, but they were so far behind us it was over an hour before they even made it make to the campsite.
Along the way, spiders 3 or 4 inches long, Carin or Haroun and we also caught two Leather Back Turtles, but the pictures were blurry. Dragonflies were so beautiful. We saw black with teal, black and a deep blue and black with white dots on the wings. Didn't get any pictures of the dragonflies, they didn't like the camera.
It was a great float even if we were with the crowd. Sometimes that is a good thing, if we had been with the crowd, we won't have seen nature at it's best. It did rain a few times along the way, but the rain felt good.
Etsy
Yes, I still have my etsy shop and I have been working to add new items. So far I have added Links in Shades of Purple-Bracelet
