Vacation Photos....

So I know I said I'd have vacation photos up, but I didn't realize until after I said it that I took nearly TEN THOUSAND (10,000!!!) photos and if I uploaded them all to my computer, it would crash.  I'm working on getting them uploaded/posted, but it may take a while....

Vacation 2015

     Hello, my friends!  As you read this, I'm sitting on an airplane, over the ocean - coming back from Europe!  We left TYS (Knoxville) the afternoon of Oct. 11 and flew to PHL (Philadelphia) and then headed to VCE (Venice, Italy).  I was gone for 3 weeks (well, 22 days) and had the fabulous opportunity to visit Italy, Israel, Turkey, Greece, and Malta.  **I did not have internet at all while gone and will now have major jet-lag so photos will have to wait a couple days - I hope to have the first day or so up by Nov. 6** 
    
     The first 5 days (Oct 12-16) were a land tour in Italy, during which we visited Venice, Florence, Pisa, and Rome.  The next 4 days (Oct 17-20) were on a cruise, during which we docked in Israel, overnighted there for 3 days (Oct 21-23), and visited Jerusalem and Galilee.  The rest was aboard the cruise ship (Oct 24-31).  Now we are traveling home :( 
    
     While on the cruise ship we stopped in at Naples and Pompeii (Italy), Ephesus (Turkey), Mykonos, Athens, and Corinth (Greece), and Malta, an island.  It was so, SO exciting and I can't wait to share my photos!  I also have some travel journal entries to share along with the photos.

     Oh, and in case you're wondering "how in the world is she posting about this while on an airplane and when she said she had no Wi-Fi?", I am sitting and writing this now on September 23, 2015 at 9:45pm.  There is a wonderful feature on blogger that allows you to schedule a post for weeks in advance.  I love it :)

     With that, I will leave y'all to your day and hope you have a great life until I can be back in touch!  I look forward to being able to share my experiences!

Mystery Photo Contest!

Ok everyone, I am opening up a contest that will close in 2 WEEKS!  (Jan. 6, 2015)  So you have 2 WEEKS to take a mystery photo of your own, (the mystery photo AND the answer).  Then send the photo and answer in to me and it will be posted as the MPOTW at some point afterwards.  My email (send the photos there) is craft.central.111@gmail.com.  You can use anything to take the photo, camera, iPhone, iPod, anything.  And if you have sent one in BEFORE the end of December, you can send in more up to Jan. 6.

Rules:

In the email...
1.  You MUST include the "answer photo", as well as the mystery photo.
2.  You MUST include your name, but I will not post your name unless it's ok with you.  (So make sure and tell me that too)
3.  You MUST tell me in words what the answer to the photo is, because I can't post it if I don't know :)

Remember, my email is craft.central.111@gmail.com.  Send in your photos, as well as the info mentioned above, by Jan 6, 2015.  And after Jan. 1, you can send in other pictures.  The limit per person is 3.

Have fun!

MPOTW #11!

Hey everyone!  Here is the answer to the previous photo.  When I went to the aquarium a while back, I took this picture in the tunnel of a sawfish swimming over my head.  The mystery photo showed the "saw" on the front of it's head.

The new mystery photo!

MPOTW #10!

Answer pic to the previous mystery photo.  Boiling water.  Part of the process of making churros, I was in that process.  Yum!  And I also just realized that most of my mystery pictures are of food... maybe I need to expand my horizons :)

Here is the new mystery photo!  Happy guessing!

The previous mystery picture was the top of a microwave-cook in a mug-chocolate cake.  My friend and I made them at our co-op one day and she was like, "take a picture!" and I'm like hey, I can use that for a mystery photo :)  New picture below!

Here is the new photo!  Happy guessing!
