The last 3 12x12 pages and a birthday card

We are headed out today for the east coast for the

grandkid tour carrying all those albums under our bed.

I made these pages prior to our decision to go full time

so these will be the last 12x12 pages which is kind of a bummer

because this is the second page of our Alaska trip.

Glacier Bay.

What a beautiful cruise that was - hanging out

or our balcony watching the glaciers go by.

Studio Calico

 Going a bit monochromatic on this page of Annie

and Owen first jump in the pool of the summer.

Pink Fresh.

 Seems to be the time of summer and Amelia

is also hanging out in the cold waters of NH.

I stuck my toe in once.

It's cold.

Studio Calico.

Did some paint white paint strips and some

packaging technique with mists.

 I'll still make cards and found this adorable minion

card on pinterest.

Love pinterest.

And who doesn't love a minion.

I just wish I thought of it myself LOL.

So because of the limited space in the RV I have

decided to roll with 8.5x11 and use project life type

with of course some full pages to save space

and I will also be doing a lot of Traveler's Notebooks

which is pretty apropos I think.

Times -they be-a-changing and it'll be a fun challenge.

Of course I'll still do the grandkids but

I may batch them for easier distribution at a later date.

Nothing set in stone.

Getting into the Christmas Spirit

with family and the Venice Boat Parade.

Getting there really early - we staked out our spot with

all the comforts of home.

With lots of food and drink.......

and the most important part - a bathroom.

Tom made cowboy coffee and declicious ahi tuna.

And Kate's veggie pizza and Amy's pizza dip- swoon worthy.

Its December people and see how we're dressed.

Sorry but you can keep your winter wonderland.

This is the life.

 Lots of action in the intercoastal.

 Making friends with the wildlife.

 As they boldly checked us out.

 Getting up close and personal by swooping into our camp.

 Minions opened the parade.

I love minions.

 This train was absolutely adorable.

 Pretty....

 And some Florida fun.

 There was lots of music, clapping and hoopla.

We were in sort of a grotto and the boats were close in the channel.

And it was so much fun because it was quite interactive dancing

and singing the boat peeps.

Trying to catch a moonrise with a channel marker.

I had a learning curve going on here and 

it was tough in the dark - and I

didn't want to shine lights to make adjustments and

ruin all the awesome boat floats.

This is a spot were we will return to again - just to camp and

stick our feet in the water and hang out.

The water is shallow so if any kidlets that tag along want

to play they'll be close to shore

and they can ride the wakes as the boats pass by.
