Ocean Block cards

Folds into envelope too!

Sentiment on the back

 These types of block cards are so easy to make.  I found this type on Pinterest and I will leave the link below for the measurements and directions.  I am giving these cards to the birthday girls because I put REAL shells (from Cocoa Beach in Florida) on the front and didn't want them to break by mailing them.  But it is easy to fold them up and mail them depending on your embellishments.  Ocean Blue by Graphic 45 is so beautiful!  I have made so many projects with this collection.  Thanks for stopping by! Give this style of card a try!!

Daytona Week

Daytona Boardwalk

Last week at Daytona was fun!  We started out by taking a tour at the Daytona International Speedway, exploring the boardwalk at "The World's Most Famous Beach" and seeing Manatees in their natural habitat at Blue Spring State Park which is located in Orange City.  The weather was very windy some days on the beach but warm.  We did have a few chilly days that I had to break out a sweatshirt! Poor me!  Walks on the beach were always interesting, seeing trucks and cars actually driving on the beach and lots of seagulls and sandpipers!!  Check out my pictures from Daytona Week with the Petersens!

Huge place!

Finish Line goes right into the stands!

Cute little sandpipers!

Manatee Mama and baby!

Blue Spring State Park was great seeing a part of Florida that isn't commercial.  Florida has so much to offer and seeing Manatees in their habitat and learning about how they migrate to warmer waters in the winter was very interesting.  Lucky to see this baby with it's mother was too cute.  We met our friends who live in St Cloud, Florida in the winter at the Park and they showed us this park as they have been here many times.  The count for Manatees the day before we came was 275.  They count them every day. So cool!

Daytona at its best!

Bye  Daytona!

We left Daytona Saturday morning and now are heading to Cocoa Beach for a week.  Hoping for good weather for another week as we are picking up our daughter at the airport and then Cocoa here we come!  Check back next week and I'll definitely have more pictures of our week in Cocoa Beach.

Daytona Beach Bound!

Yes!  We made it! Traveling for 2 days from Maine, not that there were any problems but it definitely was worth the wait seeing this morning's sunrise!  Just gorgeous!  Mark and I are going to walk this beach today before we do anything else.  Yesterday when we arrived it was 59 degrees which still was warmer than Maine but today it is supposed to get to 70! Yay!  I am in flip flops and seeing the ocean makes it perfect for me!  Thank you Lindsey for taking care of the homestead, you are a gem! Here are a few pictures of our trip on the way down!!

No traffic over the Tappan Z!

This place was so cool!
