Have you heard that expression, "What's need got to do with it?" That was me recently, right at the moment I clicked 'buy'.I have an ongoing 12x12 album for our travels this year (New York City, Washington, DC and Jersey). I use a Traveler's Notebook for a spot of scrapbooking on the road. I have … Continue reading Summer Scrapbook
That's it, today's the day. The 100 Day Project comes to an end today.Was I successful? Well, not in so many words … some days I made more than one journaling card, other days I didn't make any at all. Did I enjoy it? Mostly. Would I do it again? probably not in this format … Continue reading 100 Day Project | The End
This last post about Jersey (until our next visit) belongs to the traveller's notebook journal.As it was a short trip, just 4 nights, it was easy to keep on top of … particularly when I worked on it when sitting on the terrace in the eveningsI kept to my usual format, except that this time … Continue reading The Jersey Journal
Our Easter trip to Washington, DC was recorded, obviously, in a Traveler's Notebook. Travelling with both The Brainy One and The Boy Child meant that I didn't have as much time during the trip to keep the journal up to date. It came home full of pencil markings indicating where photos would go and with … Continue reading Washington, DC | The Travel Journal
I thought producing an embellished journaling card every day for 100 days would be simple and achievable. But I forgot two things: 1) we would be traveling abroad and although I would be writing in our traveler's notebook, I would not have the stash available to produce a card each day. 2) Once I stopped … Continue reading 100 Day Project | One Month In

Travel journals are meant to look a little ragged, a little beaten up. They're with you on … Continue reading New York City | The Journal

It was made by one of the delegates and it was there on my work space as an incentive/reward for me finishing the TN. It was a Chocolate Orange cupcake and it was delicious.I … Continue reading Traveler’s Notebook | Spain | Complete
I love, love, love how my first Traveler's Notebook turned out!So much so, I'm prepping TN2 for our next adventure. We are fortunate to have friends who have holiday homes abroad,and this Summer, we have been invited to Marrakech in Morocco. Like last time, I wanted lined cards for the journaling elementsand settled on 4x4 grid … Continue reading Traveler’s Notebook | Marrakech
With an overseas trip on the horizon,I've been tempted to try out the humble traveler's notebook.One 'l' or two in traveller?Whatever. I couldn't resist the urge to jazz up the plain kraft cover.I've also added washi tape along the page edges, and thin lined card stock to alternate pages, simply because I am hopeless at writing in … Continue reading The Traveler’s Notebook
Last month, not much scrapbooking got done, what with the The Boy Child being on school holidays. I'd planned on rectifying that this month. And where better than beginning with a double page spread of Max. I still have a smallish pile of photos waiting for a home in the Los Hermanos album, and with … Continue reading Hands on Therapy
