Scrappy supplies packed and ready to go

Heading out for "The 2016 Leaf Peeping Tour!"

I was hemming and hawing about putting something together

to scrap on the road because it'll only be a week.

Then I remembered I had this smash book and thought

"how hard can that be" you just smash.

I did start out thinking - washi tape, adhesive, that should be easy.

But then punches, stamps, stickers, enamel dots 

sort of jumped into my zippered bags.

 I did start out with these cool bags from Studio Calico

and they kept getting bigger and BIGGER.

Of course I neeeeeed PL cards, alphas, words, tags, etc.

So silly me - TWO bags.

Can't have too many stamps.

Believe it or not it ALL fits in this box and of course, I've been

throwing last minute, can't live without odds and ends in.

So I noticed the de-embossed cover and

decided it was kinda plain.

I therefore, took different inks and smooshed them around

to bring it out and of course leaves I had in my stash.

There is a plastic cover that I put back on - which was like putting

a cat in the car, but it does protect everything.

 And since the first photos were blurry without the cover

I really REALLY didn't want to take it off and put it on again.

I did get carried away with the leaves on the back - but what the hey.

Had issues splatting white paint about - but if we run into snow

we are good to go.

The inside has papers that are really not conducive for leaf peeping

so we'll see how that goes. I did bring enough stuff to

cover things up.

I doubt I use the whole book - but ya never know.

We are headed to NC, TN and we'll see where that goes.

Going to be another fun trip.

'Twas a Banner Day!

 
Notice anything different??? 

My feet are wearing the same shoes. Woohoo!!! Good news on the footfront. Its healed; yet tender and tired. The caveat is to wear the sneakers until it aches and hurts, then break out the boot. I wore shoes for about 8 hours, moving around, but not bouncing off the rafters. and I'm good with that for a first day. Bonus!!! I don't have to sleep with it on anymore.

And then!!!

My first purchase of Basic Grey Warehouse box.

Its kind of like a grab bag with an attitude.

It wasn't what I thought it would be. 

I was thinking more lines, howevever, its about the

warehouse getting rid of old product to make room for the new.

I'm sure I'll be using quite a bit of this as Basic Grey

has always been my go-to line.

Especially when the mojo tanked.

The package of alphas - are alphas from all the lines and the embellishments

are the same - got stamps, bling, rubons, flowers, and enamels.

Lots of goodies.

The album is adorable - really adorable and I'll probably

dither about doing something with it because its 

really really adorable. LOL!
