I had only intended on doing 1 LO on our trip to Oregon in '07, so I focused on the town Hood River, which is where we went after visiting my BIL's family in Portland. We love Hood River; it's a charming, cool, scenic town overlooking the Columbia River & Washington State border.

This was scrapped over a year ago without pictures at a Club Scrap event, per their "Assembly Line Scrapbooking" technique of scrapping without pics (I just said that, right? LOL). I was pleased to see that this LO worked for these pics so I just affixed the pics, added embellies & journaling. Journaling is in the little file folder which opens up. The leaves are stamped 2x (green & brown).

After I scrapped this, I realized I wanted to scrap more of the trip, so I did my "Oregon '07" LO.

Journaling for those interested: "March 2007 – Our first full day in Hood River, OR – a cool town on the Columbia River. Had great views from Lincoln Land, our beautiful 2-story rented townhome. Following Greg's birthday massage (Tocca Stella lotion), we were off to explore & errand… Ski gloves for me. Trillium Café lunch (great fried ravs & chicken/Tillamook cheddar/avo 'wich). Gift shopping. Drove around… it was cloudy but nice. Saw Mt. Hood Meadows, where we were to ski/snowboard the next day; we expected snow that night. Also saw Timberline, the resort lodge of which was used in 'The Shining''s exterior shots. After, chilled at home. Then – Jeff, Patty & Esti arrived from Portland for the night! Horsefeathers dinner (good pub food,'meh' fish). Back at Lincoln Land – wine & Benerofe boys DVDs! Slept like a dream in the gloriously comfy bed."

Funny (well, funny now) thing - I got Hood River confused in my head w/ a place in Upstate NY where we once stayed called "High Falls." Had the title/journaling on this saying "High Falls" for MONTHS until I did my "Oregon '07" LO, revisited my journaling & saw my mistake! I was crushed but quickly dusted myself & a bottle of Undu off to correct this. AND just as I was typing this, I made the same mistake AGAIN.

TFL :)
