Entries in my Faux Traveler's Journal

Speaking of the cards in the kits that

 tell what month said kit is - are in my faux journal.

It's actually the most consistent thing in the journal and

since we were gone from June through mid-September the

entries just have quick notes about our trip

using extra photos I had printed.

 I do need to make another entry pointing out the album

I put together while on the trip.

I'm also going to make an entry about the too

much stuff I took this time around as well so I restrain

myself for next time.

In fact, I bought a couple of 4x4 albums that I might use

or use a traveler's journal - for actual travel LOL!

Anyhoo, that's way in the future.

February Faux Travel Journal Entries

 Well by the look of my faux journal it wasn't a 

very happening month.

Although to be honest I'm still dithering about as

to what I really want to put in there/out there?

I do keep a diary type journal that I'm way more chattier

than I sometimes need to be.

Know what I mean?

In fact, it's sad that a couple of these entries are totally

out of order, but hey 'tis done.

And it's my faux journal so I'm thinking at least

I got the entries in there.

My goal is to use the entries for those things we did,

or didn't do, or photos that really don't need pages.

I'm at the point where I'm considering 

building a wing on our house just to store my albums.

LOL. 

Basic Grey, Studio Calico, bits and pieces.

March should be a little livelier!!

I think.

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.
