Some folks say showing up is 1/2 the battle – and I guess that would apply at times. For us, as Creative Woodworking grows, getting there is 1/2 the battle, but getting there is also 1/2 the fun. Our most recent road trip and 1st delivery to Grand Isle Art Works brought us to upper Lake Champlain. Little did we know how stunning this area (and the lake) is!!
Driving into South Hero, we were not at all prepared…the lake gets closer and closer and closer until all there is – is the road. Lake Champlain, so big on both sides, it’s breath taking.

What a beautiful place!
Thanks Bridget, it sure is!
Love all your beautiful photos!
Thank you Carol, we can’t wait to bring more woodworking to Grand Isle Art Works for the view alone!!
I love seeing your photos–it’s a part of the country I’m not familiar with so it’s wonderful to experience it through your eyes!
Talk about a beautiful drive, so glad we have connected with Ellen and Jim.
