My idea of shopping is to always keep my digital camera close by and “snap” up a gift when I pass beautiful gifts from nature. Maybe a nice creek or a great mountain view. I always take the same photographs at different times of the year. You’ll be amazed at how different they will be. While traveling through Alaska I found nothing more pleasing than the idea that I could share this beautiful scenery as a gift to special friends. My photograph of Mt McKinley is my favorite gift to myself. Nothing brings me more pleasure than to remember the wonderful trip. A wonderful way to “give” part of God’s beauty and part of yourself on a budget. I buy frames on sale and keep a good variety.

The photographs were blown up to poster size and framed to create a wonderful calm scene near the fireplace. The calmness of my Alaska memories and the wonderful fireplace is a total prescription for happiness. Use anything you can to decorate with great memories.
