I just don't like Peggy's Cove - I LOVE IT!!!  Now one of my favourite places in the world.

Thank you Laura for your inspiration.   Thank you for looking, Margaret :)

# How to eat a lobster - Shediac Bay cruise style!!!

On 22nd June our Trafalgar group headed to Shediac Bay on Prince Edward Island for a cruise, explanation of how lobsters are farmed, and then lunch.   Now this was the first time I had ever eaten lobster..... Scrapbook Challenges Layout  417 was ideal for this series of photographs.  I loved the layout so I much that I did indeed make a double layout. This was a day full of smiling and laughter and every time I remember this day it brings a smile to my face.  I have used all Stampin' Up! (r) Maritime Designer Series Paper. I love how the colours just match the photographs. The following two photographs show the individuals layouts more closely - I think me eating lobster is all about my hands,my eyes and my expressions. Truth time, I did not like lobster!!!!   I know what the!!! At least I tried it!!!!
