We're back from our vacation! We had an amazing time, and it felt so good to have a full week to relax. :)
Before I show you more vacation photos, I want to say a huge THANK YOU for visiting my blog so faithfully over the last two years. Can you believe I'm about to reach 150,000 hits?!?! AMAZING! In honor of that milestone, I'd like to give away some blog candy!
Post a comment here, and I'll pick a lucky winner the morning of July 1st! This "candy" is worth over $70!!!
Now, back to vacation photos! :)

Congrats on 150K! Thanks for sharing your vacay pics, too. You all always look like you're having so much fun, no matter what you're doing! And your girls are both getting so big... wow!
Wish I were going to Convention. I'd love to get an opportunity to meet you. Say hi to everyone from me, and have fun! :)
Holy cow...super cutest pics EVER. Love Ruby's hat. But I was mostly salivating over that sushi pic. We don't get sushi like that on the East Coast! Congrats on all those hits - it's certainly no wonder why so many people love to know what you are up to!!!
Oooh comment comment comment ...
Love the Ruby pics!
Congrats Nona! I absolutely love following your blog, so glad I could help add to your 150K.
Next time can I come with you on vacation..it looks like so much fun. Best wishes to you and your family, and look forward to your next post (as usual!)
Congrats on 150K hits! I've been lurking since the beginning. Your daughters are adorable.
Congratulations on that big number Nona! Love the 1st birthday hat, I'm sure it will be a big hit for you. I haven't been to Cannon Beach for years and I only live about 45 minutes from there (I know, shame on me.) So I do have one question, how do you manage a date night while on vacation? Did you bring a babysitter along? Thanks for sharing with us. :)
Wow, 150K hits! Not surprised! Your blogs are so interesting and you have a fun life to follow! Thanks for sharing with all of us lurkers!
I am a CTMH consultant, but any time I can get products is great. Congrats and thanks for the chance to win.
To everyone commenting about Cannon Beach - it is an AWESOME family vacation spot! We go every year and have the best time. :)
Kandi - we go with Dave's sister and parents, so they watch the girls for us when we go out.
I just have to say, your blog is wonderful! Congrats on 150K hits - I'll be happy when I make it to 1000 - lol! Your girls are adorable and I love seeing all the cute things you make for them. Thanks for holding this little contest for us!
Looks like you guys had a GREAT time.
Family vacation memories are the best and get more precious as the years pass. Congrats on your 150K blog hits. You deserve it, you are very talented and I love to follow your blog. July 1st is my husbands and my 43rd wedding anniversary...how nice if I won on that day! If not...I will keep following anyway!
Wow 150K hits!!! You are very talented, love looking at all your creations. Wish I could be a good blogger like you...just can't seem to find time.
Congrats on the blog mile stone. Date night looked like a blast!!! I love date night!! Hubby and I usually can only handle dinner, were always ready to go home and go to sleep. We can never seem to stay awake for the movie, now thats old!
Congrats on your BIG blog achievement! I'm heading to 10,000 soon. Hope I can finally meet you in person at convention, I've been following you for several years and always check in to see what's up in your neck of the woods. I'm arriving late on Tuesday night like you, but sadly we are at different airports :( I'm flying into BWI and would have jumped at chance to share a shuttle/cab.
Oh my goodness that hat is so adorable!! Your vacation spot looks so pretty! Can't wait to see the scrapbook pages!! :)
Congrats on 150K hits!! Love all the pictures and glad to see I'm not the only one who photographs my food from time to time!! :)

Congrats on 150K hits. That is amazing. I have enjoyed following your blog for awhile now. I don't knit, but you make me want to take up yet another hobby. I love to see how Sammy is growing, she is about the same age as my daughter & it is cute to see what she is doing.
Nona, as always it is so lovely to read your blog and see your beautiful family! Sammie and Ruby are both so adorable! While you can't believe you have so many hits in only 2 years - I have to say I can't wait to see what you post next!

Love Cannon Beach. My sister took me there years ago and I've been trying to get back there with my husband. 7 miles of walking beach and the ocean's majesty are heaven on earth. REALLY enjoy your blog. I check it daily as well as the friends you have listed. True inspiration.
I enjoy reading your blog - seeing your artwork and your family. Thanks for sharing!
