Cricky Across the 50 Blog Hop

Welcome to the Cricky Across the 50 Blog Hop hosted by K Andrew of Getting Cricky! If you are here from Janice Wilson of Stamping with Janice then you're in the right spot. If you just arrived here and would like to start from the beginning please go to K Andrew'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.


The State Im representing is:
Wyoming

(here are a few pictures of my favorite place to visit in Wyoming... Yellowstone)

Fav place to visit/ interesting fact:

By far the must see part of this State is Yellowstone National Park. It is just beautiful beyond words and even photos. My fav part about Yellowstone is the Bison.. they are just so adorable!! I've only been twice but both times I've seen tons of wild life including bears! Also, something to think about.. although Old Faithful is popular.. its definitely not the prettiest gyser.. it is also not the largest, longest, or loudest! It is popular because it always goes off at around the same times. If you want to see the true beauty of the park and all of its amazing gysers and pools etc.. you need to get off the main road, and go for a walk on a trail.

My Project:

This is the coffee table we have in our living room! I found it at a garage sale and it was a dark dark brown maybe even a cherry color. It was nicked and beat up and we got it for $7. It took me a month or so but I finally finished it. I sanded it down.. put a coat of maple stain over it.. I cut out the Wyoming logo with my SCAL as big as I could on a sheet of 12x12 paper... taped the paper down with masking tape and stained it with a walnut stain... and then I also did a rough stain around the edge of the table to make it look more rustic. Our living room theme is rustic country so it fits perfect! Hope you like it!
