We spent the weekend on Vashon Island, Wa. at Point Robinson in the lighthouse caretaker's house and had a private tour of the lighthouse yesterday morning with Captain Joe. What a wonderful and memorable experience this was! I tried to draw the lighthouse since I didn't have it as a stamp, colored it in with Prismacolor pencils. We didn't really get a good view of Mount Rainier but that's about where it should be, in the distance, on a clear day. I love lighthouses and hope to visit each one in the state and maybe do another sleepover in one more of them.

I am amazed at your awesome card, Joanne! Your hand drawn lighthouse is remarkable and the map background is gorgeous. What honor you showed for Anita's work!
