A bucket list wish of mine is to whale watch and one day I will. I just love this LO and the story behind this LO! The papers are so perfect and love the quotes and the fiber, super job!!
This is terrific! Love your combo of pps. I especially like the way you did the tag...the fibers with the charm is a really fun touch! I need to break out my fibers again!
This. This.... When I was a junior in high school J-pod came much further south into one of the inlets around Bremerton than they ever used to do. They were so close to the shore because those inlets are narrow that you could stand on the beach and see them spout, breach or just swim around. We took a day off school and piled in the car with my then boyfriend and sister and went to see them. It was SO cool! Orcas are my spirit animal and, of all the stuffed animals I could have ever chosen, a stuffed Orca named Danny Boy was mine. He's since become my son's favorite stuffed animal and now guards his bed at night. (I have a point to this, I promise!) I LOVE your Seattle pages and may be lifting quite a few of them. I may live in LA now, but Seattle is my soul. If I can find the photos I took from that day, I will scrap them. If not, I'm thinking I might have to lift a photo of my son with Danny Boy... .
LOOVE what you did here with the purely nautical papers and embellishments! Wonderful photos and story (I giggled at the windbreaker part). Glad you got to go into Friday Harbor too - it's a magical place! (Remind me to recommend you a book series set there...) Straight to my faves for sure!
I really like the papers you used and adding WAVES to the written words makes a PERFECT title, I also really like how you added the photo to the tag, nicely done!
Perfect pictures for the lift. Love your nautical papers and tag. Thank you for your pretty recreation of my lo. BTW, We got to see lots of whales in Alaska in 2013.
This is so pretty, I love anything nautical and blue and I love the story. I am sure it was awesome to see the whales. I will have to check out Towngirls layout. A+ darling and to the favs.. love it.
Tom and I went to Seattle for our 25th wedding anniversary in 2014. One of the things we both really wanted to do was go whale watching in the Salish Sea, so we took an entire day and did that.
I have to say, it was the single most AWESOME thing I have ever experienced. We met the J-pod whales, traveling from the north part of the sea to the south of Friday Island. Several were easily identified by our guide, so I can tell you that the whale in the photo is Blackberry, a big adult male. His fin is estimated to be between six and seven feet tall.
It was a beautiful day to be on the water, although even in July the wind off the north Pacific is cold! My jacket was just barely warm enough, and I explained to DH that it was too bad he didn't think to bring his, because, no, I wasn't sharing. He ended up buying a windbreaker on Friday Island at one of the cute little second-hand shops.
It was a really fun day. One of the best ever!

This is for my Scraplift The Person Before You challenge entry. I lifted t-towngirl's "On The High Seas" which you can see here ...
I love challenges. They are always creative and fun and I have a lot of fun talking with other participants and seeing how creative everyone in this community is. It's awesome to be back here. I've really missed it!
