(adj) briefly and clearly expressed
Location Placed: The Beach Club Resort, Lake Buena Vista, Florida
Date Placed: 6/4/11 at 5:37pm





I love how many of the resorts at Disney really feel like the location they are trying to portray. The Beach Club certainly had a beach-y air to it. I especially enjoyed the coral-esque lamps that you can see in the main lobby area. A number of the other resorts really captured their intended locales.

Getting the full effect of all Disney World has to offer is important. We visited each of the 4 theme parks and both of the water parks. We also ate at a number of different restaurants all with food as good as the next. And as you'll be able to see from where the following cranes show up, we obviously did.

After a bit of an issue with our shuttle to the airport, we finally made it to our destination: Disney World! Nothing like a vacation from work to the happiest place on Earth to make a person feel exultant.

Location Placed: Eastern Branch Library, Shrewsbury, New Jersey
Date Placed: 6/2/11 5:56pm





After my first visit to Eastern Library, I think I'll be coming more often. This has to be the most modern looking library in my county. And I've seem a fair number of the libraries. I left this crane by the bust of Edgar Allan Poe.

The paper of this crane and the next one are compliment of Nikki Sivils and Lanie of Nikki Sivils, Scrapbooker. She sent me a few different things but the 6x6 book turned out to be the perfect size for crane folding. I'm going to intersperse the rest of the sheets among my other cranes. Thanks for the paper for my cranes ladies!

(v) to know or understand
Location Placed: The Chatterbox Drive-In, Augusta, New Jersey
Date Placed: 5/22/11 1:19pm





After having passed this drive-in a number of times when coming home from camping in New York, I decided to pop in to see what it was all about. (It never looked open super early Sunday morning when we always seemed to pass by.) Definitely a cute little restaurant. If I wasn't in a hurry to get home to relax a bit before starting the work week, I may have sat down and had lunch. I left a crane to enjoy the view instead.

Location Placed: Apple Valley Candy Shoppe, Milford, Pennsylvania
Date Placed: 5/22/11 12:42pm





After driving for over an hour, I decided a little candy window shopping was warranted. Nothing wrong with a little leg stretching. The shop was also filled with little knick knacks unrelated to candy. It seemed like a lovely place to put a crane. Hopefully it brightened up someone's day considering how dreary the weather was!
