Hohenwerfen

Hey, y'all.  This is the first post that I'm actually writing in Colorado--we got here less than a month ago and we're working on getting everything unpacked and organized.  To be honest, I'm having a difficult time with this transition--Ryan already started school and I absolutely loathe the school and its administration.  We bought our house sight unseen and so far we're having to replace the floor in the master shower (which looks like a poorly executed DIY job), and we've had a mouse AND black mold in the garage so that's fun.  I'm already hoping that the hubs' job will have us move again next summer.  I was not expecting to dislike Colorado so much.

Anyway, I have another layout from our Alpine adventure in 2021.  How about a castle:


The top left picture was taken on our hike down the mountain after we toured the ice cave; Hohenwerfen is on a big hill/small mountain and you access it via gondola.  We explored the castle from the basement to the clock tower, saw a falconry exhibition and some sword fights, Ryan had a look down Ye Olde Toilet (gardy-looooo!), and you can see from the picture of the teeny window how THICK the walls of the castle are.


I pulled colors from the pics of the hubs and Ryan on the right page, doesn't the hubs look good in a dress?  So my palette today is Watermelon Wonder (so fun to play with this color again), Mossy Meadow, Kiwi Kiss, Blushing Bride, and white.  I had intended to use some yellow as an accent color but I forgot when I actually put the pages together.

That's it for me today.  I'm going to go hang up some pictures, maybe swinging a hammer will make me feel better?  And I'm going to organize Ryan's bathroom upstairs because we're all going to be using that shower pretty soon.  Later, y'all.

Supplies, all SU!
Stamps:  Alphabest, Country Bouquet
Ink:  Mossy Meadow, Watermelon Wonder, Blushing Bride

  1. Oh NO!!! That does not sound like a happy arrival. School should not be frustrating. I hope things improve soon!
    Your layout is great- I love the scallopy paper with the hearts and the fun knight and princess cut outs. :)
