For those of you that do not know, I am a very crafty person and love to make things with my hands. My friend Jenna, over at Upcountry-Living.com, is the same way and it is wonderful! Jenna texted me asking if I would like to accompany her to the craft show at UMFK. Of course! We met women who make soap, knit whole sweaters, build dolls, and create Christmas ornaments

A few days ago, my friend over at Upcountry-Living.com, Jenna, and I went on a little adventure. With cameras in tow, we searched for the blood red patches that can only be one thing up here in Northern Maine- Red Twig Dogwood. It is a hardy bush up here that not only survives the winters, but thrives on them. Crazy, right? We were there to cut down the fresh dogwood.
