Falling into Autumn Finally

It was a grey, overcast, rainy day and we went out to explore

mostly because we were getting squirrelly from 

hanging around a few days while the

weather insisted on being crappy.

We blew through the Chatooga Forest and the back roads

that was a lot of fun.

Bummer on not seeing any wildlife.

Love these ghost and goblins hanging around.

Smoke on the mountain in the foothills.

And the colors so bright and beautiful.

The Chatanooga River.

(I think).

I really need to take notes on our rides.

It was a lovely chilly rainy day and we topped it off with

delish BBQ in Cashiers, SC.

YUM.

 

Goodies - New goodies

From my pal Holli.

It's hard to get new product because we're always moving

and a lot of places don't take any deliveries.

So.....

when it goes to our mailing address - it stays there

until we are in a place where I can get packages.

The same applies to videos.

NO WATCHING VIDS - NOT enough gigs on the WIFI.

So....I'm totally behind in ALL TH vids.

Boo.

Anyway, my pal Holli keeps me up to date and

sends me prizes.

So blessed to have her as a friend.

Below is a filler sheet using my new stuff.

She also die cut a bunch of stuff for me that I don't have

and made some tags.

My DH loves his coffee.

He roasts our own coffee which is sooooo good.

So this is so perfect for us and

it was fun to make.

 

Documenting hookups with friends and family - Update

I actually completed this album and didn't realize how close I was

when I made this post, so I am adding the last 2 pages.

----------------------0----------------------

Love hooking up with family and friends on the road.

Journaling on whatever is available - like receipts especially

if one wants more photos involved.

Had a lot of fun at the race track.

We are not really good at betting but it was fun to watch.

State parks are your friend and are chockful

of history and the parks are beautiful.

So when in NJ seafood, friends, family, and pizza.

Once you eat NJ pizza nothing else compares.

Just sayin...

Little cuties that are growing like weeds

so it's good to check in and hang with them.

And of course, getting photos with rigs in them 

with the name of the RV park is a plus

in case we want to return.

Love exploring all the nooks and crannies wherever

we land, hang, and take photos.

Since my kidlets live in different states 

it's alway fun to catch up with them.

My pal sent me those die cut leaves and love love love them.

💖

We got to hand with the adorable cutie above and

love it and him.

Our great nephew. 

And the last page - sitting on Jeanette's pier

watching all the fisherman watching their lines to

see if they get a bite.

The excitement was overwhelming.

LOL.

I have a new album in the works. 

I am "making" the cover " for the "album"

that will hold the 6x8 page protectors.

 

Additional pages to my "traveling" album

Alas, they are in no particular order........which I know shocks you.

I have been accumulating more elphemera and 

including it in the albums - mostly RV parks where we 

stayed this trip.

They all begin to blur to now I have a reference

and these books will go into storage when we hit our winter home..

So....I still have photos to refer to..

It's getting more fun and I've been making my very own

PL cards using TH inks and oxides.

Love it.

I'm also getting better with camera angles 

i.e., landscape versus portrait which enables better

photos that don't have to be 

whacked and edited to the nth degree.

I'm also doing more "filler" pages mostly because I can

and it's good to not be limited to the photos in a pocket.

Love documenting our ride.

Love documenting hook ups with family and friends.'

And there's a filler page because it was so much fun

to play with TN inks, oxides and sayings.

Still struggling with the supplies I kept but its getting better.

Here's a convo I had with my pal Holli whining about having to be creative.

😂😐😜

THE STRUGGLE IS REAL.
