Cricky Across the 50 Blog Hop

A Big Cricut Hello & Chirp to each of you! Welcome to the Cricky Across the 50 Blog Hop hosted by K Andrew of Getting Cricky! . If you are here from Mariam Satchell's blog than you are in the right spot. If you just arrived here and would like to start from the beginning please go to KAndrew's Getting Cricky!. For this blog hop K Andrew is celebrating her big move across the country with a big road trip, and of course this hop across the 50 states! She has asked us all to post a little bit about the state we are representing, and then to post our Favorite Craft Project. I am representing the state of Wisconsin because that is where I was born, in Green Bay WI.

The Green Bay Packers are the Superbowl XLV Champions! If you travel to Green Bay you might want to see Lambeau Field or the Packers Hall of Fame or shop at the Packers Pro Shop!

A favorite place to go when I was young is still a favorite today for my nieces and nephews and their children. It was originally called Bay View Beach and was purchased in 1892. You can read a short, but interesting bit of history here.

It was a great family place! My fathers and my mothers company picnics were held there each summer as well as the Enderby Family Reunion. My mother's maiden name was Enderby. There were games, and races, and prizes. And there were amusement rides for only a dime a ride. The rides have changed some through the years, and I see they are having a brand new ride for 2011 called the Zippin Pippin. The rides are still inexpensive ranging from 25 cents to one dollar. The train ride is a must! A visit to Bay Beach without a train ride feels incomplete.

Green Bay is home to another favorite place of mine, and a favorite to many stampers across the 50, and that place is Peachy Keen Stamps! I will be meeting the Peachy Keen Family this summer when I travel home to be with my 8 sisters for a fun visit. I can't wait to meet them and see how those Peachy Keen Stamps are made.

My sisters and I will be having our 3rd annual slumber party at my sister's cottage up North. Lots of laughter and family bonding. Good times for sure!!

So here are some projects I made this year that represent my homeland.
