Actually, I am trying to figure out how post on my blog and upload photos from my iPad. This is the final photo from the final bus ride back to our ship. According to iphone, this was taken in Bunyola, Spain. The editing was minimal, using the tools from the photo album app.

The url is nancooks because it started as a cooking blog. Then became nanknits as my knitting hobby bloomed. When that ended and I began digital scrapbooking, I changed it to NanKnits but the Url stayed same. Yesterday I started a new blog, which I posted on FB. Now that blog seems to default over here.

We love Waffle House when we need a quick meal late. My fav is the grilled cheese sandwich, which is not on the menu. I did not ask for that this time, and, as you will see, it was a good thing.

This layout was inspired by a Recipe Challenge over at Pixel Scrapper. We had to include a Word Art and when I spotted making my mark from WordArtWorld in my stash, I knew it was perfect for this photo. I jazzed up all the paint with bevels in PSE.
