Dreamin'...

Do you ever think about what you would do if your bank account was a bit bigger?? I get the Travel Zoo Top 20 email every week and just for giggles I open it up. I dream of signing up for some of the awesome deals to Europe. Visit Ireland for a week, tour Italy, fly to Paris. I have had a taste of Europe from living there for 6 years as a kid and visiting my mom there a couple of times. That was all before kids. I would love to go as a family. To take my kids to Whitby, England to see where I was born, to visit castles all over Germany, to see the windmills in Holland. The sense of history you get in Europe is so different than anything we have here in the US. There are plenty of things in America that are on my list as well but I would jump at the chance to return to Europe.
Today CHF is releasing a stamp that fuels all those dreams. It's a Thomas Kinkade stamp
called Guardian Castle.

Isn't it so lovely?! I colored this one with Copic markers, it is one of my favorite Kinkades yet to color. The paper is Memory Box.
Maybe someday the funds and time will be there to take one of these trips. A girl can dream. Where do you dream of going?

Tracy, this is breathtaking! So rich and elegant! We lived in Germany for 3 years and may return to Europe next year for another assignment. So looking to travel. Our DS will be older and better able to remember the trips we'll take, (he was 3 when we returned to the States.) I so understand your dreamin'!

Wow! This is gorgous. I have one Thomas Kincade stamp but I found it impossible for me to color. You did such a fantastic job. I also like your more recent cards that I've perused.
