Almost packed and ready to roll

Getting ready to take off for our Southern Route Tour

and this trip my scrapbook box has been upgraded.

Last trip I packed my supplies in this little box and actually

did okay with having the limits.

I did get a bit frustrated using just scissors but eventually

got over - one by finding big scissors and second

deciding that handmade cutting was part of the charm.

What I'm doing different this trip is upgrading to a bigger box but

also combining the travel diary and the road trip album

if that makes sense.

This is the basic grey captured album I had forever and 

created basic pages with papers and added

pocket pages.

This time I added the PL cards to the pocket pages

so all that remains - writing in the diary as we go and filling

in the photos and do-dads and added journaling. 

 So I put together a "basic" kit so to speak with

punches, mists, stamps and alphas, pop dots, tiny attacher

dry and wet adhesives, embellishments

additional PL cards and papers for mats.

I'm sure I'm forgetting something.

I also learned to put the majority of things in a baggy.

Especially the mists , glue, and inks.

(Don't know if you noticed but from one photo to the next - 

stuff was added LOL.

 For the road trip last year - I did acquire a Canon Selphy

printer which is also packed in there.

It's compact and prints really lovely photos.

Its perfect for putting together an album "on the fly" as

we get downtime on the road-which brings in 

the "diary" part of it because the ole memory can be a 

temporary thing. LOL.

Of course I overpacked on the clothes and probably still don't have
enough or what I want to wear. Arrgghh!!!

Please follow our travels on the blog and just note that the

internet can be quite dicey on the road.
