July 2015 in Photos

We've had some busy summer months, and while we're back to the regular schedule now, we spent much of July with family at the coast. It was a lovely relaxing time with good food, lots of reading and some games. The most surprising bit was that it was sunny every day, which on the Oregon Coast is quite unusual. I am tanner now than I have been since I was 15 and lived in the Andes, when it was impossible to not get a tan. I still look down daily at my hands and think, "who's hand are those?" It's pretty strange.

Marisa, I always enjoy your photos. You have a real knack for capturing the essence of the moment.

@Beatrice: I generally prefer my games classic, but Jordan likes to play with the expansions...I'm sure you'll be happy with Carcassonne. And Takenoko too when you get it!

Your pictures of the coast are always so beautiful! I can't wait to visit Oregon and see it for myself.

-to clarify I bought My First Carcassonne. I hope the kids like it. I'm going to try the grown up game too :-)

Thanks Marisa! I just bought Carcassonne and it hasn't come yet. I don't think it has those fancy pieces though. I added Takenoko to my wishlist.

@Beatrice: That's an old, classic Carcassonne, with a few expansions.

Also photographed, Takenoko (which comes with a panda!)

Gorgeous photos. Is it time for a favorite board games part 3? What is the game with those cute pink pieces- the pig and the guys stacked up?

About Me

Hi There! I’m Marisa Lerin and you’ll see me around at DigitalScrapbook.com a lot. I started this site in 2010 soon after I discovered a new love in digital scrapbooking. DigitalScrapbook.com has gone through some significant changes since that time and it’s grown into this lovely community site you are seeing now. I am daily surprised by the turn of life’s events that has led me down this path. If you're new to the site, welcome! Here are a few tidbits about me that I hope will help you get to know me better!

I’m originally from Minnesota, USA, but spent a good chunk of my childhood living abroad (in Bolivia and Hong Kong). I returned to Minnesota to attend university, got married and then moved overseas again (Korea, then Jordan and 1 year of traveling). My designs are heavily influenced by these many nomadic years. I am currently back in the USA, now living in the great state of Oregon!

I have no official training for what I’m doing, since I decided very wisely (haha) to study physics in university. I am always learning new things about digital scrapbooking, and this community has been immensely helpful for that!

If I manage to stop digital scrapbooking you will probably find me watching TV, reading or baking. I also enjoy writing for the blog here at DigitalScrapbook.com where I talk about whatever happens to be catching my fancy at the moment.
