Travelers Notebook - Shaker card

Love this sentiment and figured it belonged in my notebook.
It's so cool because photos are not needed all the time.
 And on the flip side, I found this card.
Almost ready made to add sequins.
 Which I did.
First time Ever.
I think I'll figure out how to do it again.

No clue who the mfg is.

Travelers Notebook - Hello Beautiful

This started with multiple project life cards
that totally fit this particular photo.
And it didn't quite need an entire page to celebrate.
Actually it's quite fun.
I also made that fuzzy paperclip - because it's fun.

 And there's the flip side - OUR NEW FRIDGE!
Which is beautiful.
And a long time coming.
We left last week to zip up to Lazy Days in Wildwood to
get a new fridge installed.
It was supposed to be 2 days - we stayed a week.
Of course.
The fridges that they make for RVs are really bad - 
REAL BAD.
They are tiny.
They don't keep a steady temperature.
They ruin food.
They make you crazy because they aren't reliable.
SO....
we had a residential fridge installed.
Yay!
However, because of that we also needed a new inverter
to keep the fridge cold when we are not plugged in.
It had to be ordered.
It had to be installed.
It happened to be the wrong part.
It had to be reordered.
It had to be installed.
It had taken a week total.

BUT, we were able to camp in the parking lot.
And we did whatever we wanted during the day and had
a spot overnight.

This fridge is a game changer.
It's the little things or in this case the big things.

Travelers Notebook - Loving this

I just had to test out my new prize.
10x pro.
And this is the wide angle lens.
How cool is that.
AND
the place looks half-way decent 
😉
And a bit of a glimpse of my scrappy area.
stage left. LOL.
This is home and we love it.
It's kinda neat - that wherever we are..
we are home.

Kept it kinda simple - some tissue paper and I do not 
remember the mfg of the other embellishments.
I need to quit consolidating without the packaging.
😐

Travelers Notebook - more ephemera

Whoops I cut the top of smidge.
That's an itty bitty yellow heart.
And if you look down isn't that 
"burger" the cutest.
Oh and the adorable geo tag for the apostrophe in
the title. Clever eh?
Also found my phrase stamp and went
a bit of a stampede. LOL.

Had a lovely time with family at Ford's Garage 
which is a really neat place.
They use A LOT of things that belong in a 
garage - like hose clamps for napkin rings which
they quickly collect LOL.
There's tires for sinks and onion rings come
on oil funnels.
Fun and kitchy.
Makes great burgers.
The ephemera came with my order
and it was delish.

Travelers Notebook - Bad Hair Day

LOL.
I have traveled the country over and
found Walmart Hair Salons do a pretty good job.
It's hard to get into a regular salon, so on
the road, this worked.
Until here.
Sigh.
All I wanted was to get the mullet I had going on gone.
LOL.
 So ole Larry took the clippers and bam - really
really really short in the back.
Mullet gone.
But the top was just not right. So I went
back to WM a couple days later,
but not to ole Lar and had it fixed.
Which made it all shorter.
Like a pixie.
I haven't had a pixie since I was was 5.
Okay may it was until the 7th grade but still.
This is the back of the envelope.
Love that sentiment from the PL cards.

Studio Calico, some real old PL cards, washi.

Travelers Notebook - Let's chat

Just a quick page to document having pizza with friends.
Not a very good photo but there ya go.
Keeping it simple with the embellishments and
not really a lot of journaling going on,
but times like these need to be included.

Some studio calico - I need to keep packaging but
with limited space it tends to get discarded. 
Soooo..I can't even guess. LOL.

Travelers notebook - using ephemera

I have started to collect stuff from restaurants, et all. Especially if it has the logo and especially if they're envelopes. So for Valentines day - it was laid back for us, except for the call from the Apple store to pick up my laptop. It needed a battery, and of course, my laptop the battery is glued in tight so naturally a professional is required. And a new keyboard. Woohoo!!!! 

Anyway, I used this red tag, tucked it in between the pages, because I felt V-day did not require a full page. So, fun die cut and enamel hearts on the front (and a premade leftover V-day title) and the journaling on the back. 

Quickutz dies, hero arts stamps
