Week before last, (wow! time flies!!!) the kids and I spent the week at my sister’s cabin in the mountains. I scrapbooked the entire time (kinda), and the kids sat in front of the wii the entire time. It was rainy all week, so the airsoft guns that they had brought along sat unused on the porch.
I am a Creative Memories fan. Not that I never use anything else, but seldom. I used to do the albums where you create the entire page, but that is hardly practical in an rv. I decided that instead of giving it up all together while we are on the road, that I would make something work even though it may not be what I consider ideal for me. So, I have started using the PicFolio albums, which are slide in albums. C.M. makes these cute, coordinating kits with pre-cut mats and journaling boxes – all I have to do is tape on pics and write out the happenings. Once I got back to town, I resigned as a consultant just to get a discount on my orders for this summer – I figure 12 albums a year (not doing the kids’ right now), so it adds up fast! 🙂
I really didn’t print many pictures while we were on the road, but I did do an album while we were traveling (didn’t even scrap through Oregon!). Takes up very little space to haul along an album, trimmer, pen, tape runner, and the pics that I have printed on the road. I still plan on taking an album or 2 (not 4 like I took last year) on the road in case I get the scrapping bug, but don’t plan on trying to stay caught up – I rather like that week at the cabin! 😉 ~Thanks Gayle!!!
Since it had been nasty out the whole week, it was really nice to have a place to spread out. But, when we got home, the weather was still rather yucky…
mud and RVs don’t really go together so well!
Now though, it has finally gotten a little nicer here.
Then, Wednesday, we moved into town to do our yearly firework stand. This will be our 5th year, but this year we are in a different stand, and Greg took over our old location. I’ll let you know how it’s going in a few days!
 
  
Hi Tracy!
I will give you an email address – if you send me yours, then I will email you back and give you my ‘real’ email address! 😛 does that make sense????
~I have 3 addresses – the one I use all the time, one I check every once in awhile (stuff that I might want, might not…), and a garbage one that I just go in and delete every so often…
You can email me at;
blessdx11@yahoo.com
please be sure to put something in the message line so that I don’t just delete it… and and anyone from here can email me there – just keep in mind that I don’t check it super often…
I would love to meet up with you, Tracy, if it works out! I don’t know when we will be heading out – I guess that I’ll have to wait and see as one day DH is saying “lets get out of here as soon as we can”, and the next it’s “maybe we should stay through hunting season (Thanksgiving)!”
Anyway, drop me an email! 🙂 dana
