Work in Progress

Please Note: Blog Archives are at the bottom of the page.
I started this blog on June 14, 2012. I plan to post my previous scrap pages, from the most recent > working backwards; and add new scrap pages as I create them. It could take awhile, as I'd scrapped nearly 400 pages prior to starting this blog. Each one was the best I could do with the photos I had on the day it was made, and each has special meaning to me.

War of 1812 Bicentennial


Yesterday we went to watch a fabulous War of 1812 Naval battle re-enactment in Niagara-on-the-Lake. There were 5 tall sailing ships and 22 longboats with 300 naval re-enactors all dressed up in period costumes, lots of canons and muskets firing. We had a perfect vantage point and I got about 120 great pics. It was so cool to watch the tall ships sail across the lake, getting closer and closer, then the soldiers rowed to shore in the longboats and then the mock fighting began. It's always to fun because the American tourists root for the Americans and the Canadians root for the British, haha. We always have a blast and this year was extra special. From where we were standing I was only able to photograph the British troops.
