Don't you just love the"Road Home" hop?
A big thanks to Amy and Marian for all the time
and effort they have put into this hop.
They have found the best sponsors on the planet...
... here's a round of applause for them too!
Your contribution to our blogging world is so appreciated.
:-)
Now add in all the bloggers, who just couldn't wait to
share their "Road Home"
We've got a row-a-palooza, going on!
LOL!
There are rows from all over the globe and
you never have to leave home to collect them.
Home for me...
The "Last Frontier"
It's never actually been my home,
but it sure feels like it every time I visit.
Glaciers, wilderness, wildlife, and gorgeous views.
But the best is the friends, who make me feel so at home.
Yes, I shed a tear every time I have to leave.
Its a big place. This state is almost 1/3 of the size of the entire USA.
This map from "Freepublic.com" shows you just how big it is.
And for some place that BIG...they have very few roads.
Yep, wilderness is the word, and this city locked girl
LOVES IT!
I owe big thanks to the University of Alaska Fairbanks,
for the clipart used in my row.
It was perfect for my "Road to Denali"
If your interested in this row,
It is $3.50, payable thru paypal.

Here's the real Mt McKinley in Denali National Park.
This photo was taken on a flight seeing trip.
Seeing the peak is a very unusual treat.
This mountain it so tall, that it creates it's own weather.
We felt very blessed.
to be able to spend such a gorgeous day with her!
Oh, I could just go on and on...
...but you want to get to these incredible give-aways!

ReplyDeleteAlaska is one place I want to visit but dear husband was stationed there for several years and does not want to go back. So I visit thru others' eyes.
ReplyDeleteAlaska is a wonderful state. We visited my mother's best friend in Juneau when I was 6 years old. Hiked a trail by Mendenhall Glacier, stepped over bear remains and lots of scat, stayed up late to see the 4th of July fireworks, saw the Northern Lights. The trip left a lasting impression. Sadly I have not been able to return.
ReplyDeleteThank you for bringing back the memories with a wonderful row. You did a wonderful job of the row and the post.
Wonderful row, we really enjoyed our visit to Alaska too! Thank you!

ReplyDeleteI love being in the mountains. I love living less than 5 minutes from a canyon, here in Utah. I don't think I could live anywhere that doesn't have a mountain view.

I would love to go to Alaska. I love mountains and lakes, but I'm currently living in a suburb of New York City. No mountains, but an ocean beach is 20 minutes away.

ReplyDeleteLove Alaska and it's wide open spaces. At one time, I thought about living there, unfortunately, that is not to be due to no longer being able to tolerate real cold temperatures. Thanks to your lovely row, I can now dream of being there each time I look at your design. Thanks so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteJoan your row is fabulous! Another place that I would love to go and visit! That map is amazing to show just how vast Alaska is. I'm loving all the rows on this hop! Thanks for the free pattern.

ReplyDeleteI love your row. I am originally from Montana, now residing in Illinois. I miss the mountains and the clean air. Thank you for the inspiration.

ReplyDeleteThanks for a chance to win.
