I just returned home from a wonderful four day weekend celebrating our 38th Wedding Anniversary. We had the most amazing time in Door County, and I can't wait to tell you all about it...next week. 😀. Today, I'd like to wrap up our week with the kids and grandkids when they came to visit this summer.| Amy's Creative Pursuits
For the past couple of weeks I have been sharing photos and stories of our families staycation to Osceola Wisconsin. In my first post, we played in Cascade Falls and then in my second post we took a scenic train ride. Today, I'm going to show some fun we had the next day in a nearby park called Interstate State Park.| Amy's Creative Pursuits

Well, with the exception of a lot of weeds, this year was one of my best flower garden years ever. We had a lot of heat and sun with plenty of rain, so the plants really thrived. And for some reason, the deer have had mercy on me and didn't destroy my garden. There has been a little deer damage here and there, but nothing like previous years. I don't know what happened, if some hunters got the deer that plagued my garden or the deer just moved on to greener pastures. I also noticed ...| Amy's Creative Pursuits
My daughter, son-in-law, and grandchildren come up and visit us every year during the 4th of July of week. It is always an exhausting, but fun filled week. We always do one little staycation where we go somewhere nearby for the night. This year I picked the sweet little town of Osceola Wisconsin because of their train ride and waterfall. My husband and I went there for a winter weekend getaway a few years ago, and thought it would be the perfect place to come back with the grandkids b...| Amy's Creative Pursuits
I purchased some inexpensive wooden bird houses for the grandchildren to paint for their birthdays, and while they were painting theirs, I decided to paint one myself. However, my birdhouse wasn't a thin birdhouse you'd find at a craft store. Mine was made by my son when he was in high school and he painted it a solid black...it was his goth years, what can I say? 😂. If ever I wished I had taken a "before" photo, this was it. I remember being so upset with him that he painted his b...| Amy's Creative Pursuits
The weather this summer has been so different than last summer which brought new challenges and successes. Last year, it rained constantly. I had to replant a lot in the spring, because all the water just drowned everything. This year, we've had a decent amount of rain, plus HEAT. Plants that love the heat thrived and plants that struggle in heat did not do as well as they did last year. And that is the life of a gardener; one year you can have an abundance of cucumbers and the ne...| Amy's Creative Pursuits

My daughter, son-in-law and all my little grand babies are arriving this Friday for a week 4th of July fun, so I thought I'd better write and preschedule some posts before they get here. Because of that, you get the blessing of actually having my monthly garden updates done on time for a change. It's also pouring rain outside right now, so I have plenty of extra time to blog.| Amy's Creative Pursuits

Over a year ago I wrote in THIS POST that I was given the great honor in the paper-crafting world to join the "Dirty Dozen" on Splitcoaststampers.

For this week's travel post I am continuing on with our winter staycations and then next week I plan to start a new travel series of our spring vacation to the east coast to see Colonial Williamsburg. Would you believe we ended up going to Green Bay, Wisconsin twice this winter? I sure couldn't. We first went to meet up with the grandkids because my son-in-law was speaking at a teacher conference in Green Bay and he brought the whole family along so they could have some fun with us whil...| Amy's Creative Pursuits
