I never thought I would actually get to pan for gold, and actually find some! Well, it was tiny, just a couple of flakes, but fun none-the-less! Thank you again, Stampin' Up! for making a dream come true!
Our "gold panning" was part of our excursion up the White Trail Pass by motorcoach and Narrow-Gauge Railway! We took the motorcoach up to the top of the pass, through the Canadian border, and then boarded the train for the ride back down. Before we got to the top, though, we stopped at "Liarsville", which was a depiction of how the mining camps might have been like back then. We saw fun, short, musical presentation, then we were each given a pan of dirt and rocks and shown how to pan for the gold that was "guaranteed" to be in it! We were told to expect to find at least 2-4 flakes of gold, and flakes they surely were! Here's one of mine!
Tiny, isn't it? I have my TWO WHOLE FLAKES in a little jeweler's baggie!
Today's card is another from the Hospitality room! This beautiful tulip is made with the Owl Punch! So clever!

I've got lots of little errands to run today, and tonight I'm helping Kimberly teach the 4th-5th graders at VBS, so I've gotta run!
Until tomorrow, have a "Stampingrox!" day!
