My faux traveler's journal

I thought a lot about a journal mostly because

I'd start and stop one almost in the same breath.

But I became curious about the travel journal so I checked them

out of course.

And I really loved the concept - but I didn't want

to spend the money - especially with my track record

of incomplete journals.

So...I happened to be in Michaels where I did rearrange

their products because of indecision.

I did pick up a travelers journal- well actually three, I'd put

one in my cart, find another, switch them out, etc, and then

decided I really did not want to spend $40 for one.

So I happened to sashay by the art dept and there were 

art journals for $5.

Shazam.

I figured no harm no foul if I dumped this project after awhile.

However, since I'm already on a cut down on

some pages kick, this works out perfect for those

photos you want to scrap with a story to tell but don't

quite need their own 12x12 page.

 I have been tentative with stuff at first but I'm

really getting the hang of it and I think this one may

actually become a finished project.

 I'm trying to decide how much and what to put in there.

Because its not exactly a "private" journal if you know what I mean.

 And some days its an everyday thing and somedays not.

And I like that.

 Then some are goofy "filler" pages because 

it was fun.

 I'm liking the random, fun, goofy things.

Like getting ahead with the kids cards.

 I'm also getting a handle on the white background.

 And highlighting an adorable trinket a friend made

or just a note about missing mom.

 No explanation here.....

So far, that's January.

It's a great way to use up them PL cards

that mutate like bunnies, and its

a great way to highlight the little things that

make my day rock.
