Vacation in Poland and Slovakia

7 Comments

I just returned from my 2 week vacation in Poland and Slovakia and have been working on catching up on e-mails, orders, news, my blog reading list, and getting back into the swing of things. In the meantime, I have some photos from my trip to share…

Back From Vacation

11 Comments

I have been quiet for awhile because I recently got back from my annual vacation to Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming, which was amazing and inspiring. Now I just need to get back to working on new primitive dolls again. In the meantime, I have a few pictures of highlights from my trip to share. The photos were taken by my husband and I with our new Canon 30D and new super zoom & wide angle lenses.

I already can’t wait to go back again next year.
