A Trip of a Lifetime Overview :)

Hello Friends :)

It is August and Summer is already almost over...wow that went fast! I have a couple of exciting things to talk about this time. First is my July trip of a lifetime to Scotland and Ireland. I know some of you have been asking and awaiting hearing about my trip. If you are one of them...I have a vlog today on my channel that includes a flip through of my travel journal and stories about the pages and what they mean that might interest you. And I have added a few extra photos that I did not share in the video just for my blog reading friends!

• 1-3 'My' castle in Scotland. Ok..built by an ancient ancestor of mine LOL
• 4 Coming into Ireland..looks like a cool tapestry with the hedgerows and penny walls 
•  5-6 Ghost tour...St. Kevin's Church and cool ironworks outside Dublin Castle
• 7 Hop on Hop off tour..I saw so many decorative iron works, stone work, & doors around Dublin but this one is my favorite of all.
• 8-10 Christ Church and Dublina Viking Museum
• 11 Fairy Garden at Malahide Castle
• 13-14 Fishing town of Howth
• 15 Carrick a rede rope bridge
• 16-17 Giant's Causeway
• 18-20 Cliffs of Moher
• 21 Dunluce Castle
• 22 Coming back into Portland at the end of the trip - Mount Hood

I hope you enjoyed my information about my trip! 

My other big news for this month is that my channel reached 10 thousand subscribers! I am so excited about this that I will be doing a give away on my channel of (10) 6x6 original art pieces I have created on the channel. So stay tuned for that video this month where you can comment and have an opportunity to win one of my art pieces.

Thanks everyone! <3 Shel
