Bay Queen Stamping Cruise







Hi Everyone,






Just went on a wonderful venture yesterday. My SU upline had a get together on a Brunch Cruise ship over to Newport RI. We left from Warren RI and cruised to Newport where we were able to spend a couple of hours looking and shopping through the many shops that were there. On the way over, it's about an hour in a half, we had the most delicious brunch from scramble eggs ,to a rice and chicken dish, muffins ,mini pastries, sausage, Ham, some kind of a julienne potatos, bread puding , oj and coffee. We shared a table with other stampers and just talked and laughed and had a good time. Once back on the ship from our shopping endeavors, it was time for some serious stamping we made this folder with five note cards inside. It was a lot of fun. This is the folder that held our note cards.
