Ok, last week I showed you the vacation journal box that my girls and I made in preparation for our Florida vacation. This week I wanted to show you a few other vacation journals/scrapbooks that I have done and you can do with purchased scrapbooks.
Vacation time is coming! We are going to Florida for a big family party to celebrate my grandson's first birthday next month. Trying to remember what we did, or what someone said is difficult once I get back home from a vacation. So much to do- un pack, order pictures and get back to work. I discovered an easier way to remember and enjoy my vacation and make sure I don't forget those precious moments with my family.
This is different than creating a scrapbook. First I think about what I will be doing, where I will be going and what ephemera I will be collecting and want to keep. Then I decide what size I want to work in, ( small keep in my purse or pocket, a bigger notebook size?) Then I create a blank journal book. Once I am on vacation, I keep this with me at all times and make notes, journal and collect all those ticket stubs, postcards, receipts, etc.
Look at this first video of a completed project my daughter Vera did for her first vacation trip out of state a few years ago.This will help you understand what I am describing and get you inspired to recycle those cool packages you have sitting around ( or start saving them now).
Next week tune in to see what you can do with a purchased scrapbook or journal for your vacation plans.
Just returned from Kill Devil Hills in Nags Head NC at the beach! We had a great time with our friend Cheri and her family. Her cottage is one block from the beach. It was a relaxing fun time!
Lots of kids, and pets! I took Bailey and Bella and Cheri had Forrest and Jenny.
The kids did lots of boogie boarding and playing in the sand.
Cheri is a great cook, so lots of good food too!
We had the opportunity to see a school of dolphins passing by.
I was able to read 3 books- enjoying David Baldacci books.
