Snapdragon: July 2015
http://snapdragonchristy.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 29, 2015. Great Wave Off Kanagawa, Parts 1-11. The surprise has finally been sprung so now I can share these pics on the ol' blog : ) Did anyone wonder why I hadn't posted cross stitching progress photos for the past year? There was a reason. I spent 11 months working on a birthday present for my mom, so here's the entire progression in one post. Except the framing part, Mom has to get it framed and decide where to hang it up. Part 2: November 5, 2013. 12,234 stitches done (15.09%). Part ...

Monday, March 23, 2015. Wales: Doctor Who Experience. WARNING: Major geekiness ahead. It's Doctor Who. Ok, let's start with this: the blue box is a TARDIS. And it travels through time and space. Cool! And that thing that looks kinda like a weirdo pepper shaker with a fungal infection is a Dalek. One of the villains of Doctor Who. Their most famous line is "Exterminate! Matt Smith) to the Twelfth Doctor. And a different iteration of the TARDIS interior. I am not well-versed enough with Doctor Who to i...

Snapdragon: April 2014
http://snapdragonchristy.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 30, 2014. So we're back in Poland (I mean Poland pictures, not that I'm physically in Poland again) for salt mine. Photos. Lee and I signed up for a tour that picked us up in Krakow and took us out to the mine, where we had a guided tour underground. What is it with us and underground stuff? We've been to the Parisian catacombs, an underground tour in Edinburgh and one in Rome, and we did another underground museum in Krakow. That's just what I can think of off the top of my head. There ...

Snapdragon: October 2014

Tuesday, October 28, 2014. Baltic Cruise: St. Petersburg, Part 11 (Peterhof again). I am almost done with the Russia pictures, I promise! Only, like, two more posts after this one. So here's some more fountains from Peterhof. I think this might be the Eve fountain mentioned on the Wikipedia page. Very cool photo by Lee, though, am I right? By the way, Mom, Lee says you totally missed out by not going to the gardens at Versailles. Good thing you had us there taking pictures for you. Lots more gold statues.

Snapdragon: Wales: Conwy Castle
http://snapdragonchristy.blogspot.com/2015/07/wales-conwy-castle.html
Monday, July 13, 2015. What's up, dudes? Are ya surprised to see a new blog post here? I'm still slowly working my way through pictures from Wales, and that trip was over a year ago now. Sad, I know. I still have two more Welsh posts to do after this one. But anyway, today we're going to Conwy Castle. On our way up to the castle, there are a couple of the eight towers this castle boasts. I find something endlessly fascinating about looking at the signs in Welsh and wondering how on Earth to pronounce them.

Tuesday, August 19, 2014. Baltic Cruise: St. Petersburg, Part 7 (Neva River Cruise). Wow, so I just typed a bunch of stuff on Part 8 and then realized that Part 7 hadn't been published yet! Oops Guess it's going to be a two-fer today. There's part of the Hermitage. Seriously huge. I think that red tower-y thing is a lighthouse? There's the Peter and Paul Fortress; we visited it later on in our tour. Another boat.man, my commentary is fascinating. Ok, keep scrolling down for Part 8! Posted by Christy Lynn.

Snapdragon: February 2015

Wednesday, February 25, 2015. Amateur Fashion Police for the 2015 Oscars. Must be a slow day at work, because Mom just emailed me a few pictures and asked what I liked about Oscars fashion this year. So here's my own Fashion Police : D. Of course, I am not haute couture, but I have my own opinions about what looks good and what doesn't. I happen to like colors, A-line silhouettes, and not looking like a hooker. So you know, not at all what Hollywood likes. But let's take a look anyway! Says this person i...

Snapdragon: Old Car City, Part 3
http://snapdragonchristy.blogspot.com/2015/07/old-car-city-part-3.html
Saturday, July 18, 2015. Old Car City, Part 3. Well, since I posted some Old Car City pictures on my mom's birthday, it seems only fair that I share the end of them on my dad's birthday : ) Not to say that either of them is a rusty old wreck. Just that I thought they'd appreciate pictures of some old rusty cars. Yeeeeahhhh I never got tired of taking pictures of the car model names and the cool fonts. We found a Hudson Hornet like the old police car on Cars! So I took a ton of pictures of it. And I think...
