A tale of a travel journal

Did you know that I am off to San Fran on April 24 with the shopper.  So I decided I needed to make a travel journal.  I like to get things ready ahead of time.  So when I am there I can collect and add etc.

So I have used this size before and found it suits me fine, not to big, big enough to fit in the purse.  Cream pages that I glued 2 or 3 together.  It costs only 1 dollar at the dollar store.  I glued a favourite piece of paper to the front and the back I covered with  tape. So here is a sneak peek into some of the pages that I have created.  So far these pages have been out of magazines only.  So just so you know if you don't have anything but a pencil and a magazine you can create. I did this while watching TV last night with the hubby

 Sorry I did that have a sign  that said Lombart, I have not showed

you that page but I have been to San Fran before, so I drew the

street, with houses and everything, so just need text dont know if I am going
to walk down it or drive, and I also will take a picture.  I will of course be
taking my camera and then adding photos to the journal as well.  We are only going for
6 days.

 

 This two page spread above is the inside cover of the book

where I am going to put my address and stuff

and a little envelope I have to put little stuff in.

I always need a page to tell the weather, so you can look back and say this is what it was like when I was there.  I am going to clip out of the newspaper when I get the weather and glue it in my book

I loved this picture above when I found it, so I had some words from my magazine "Stay Connected"

and I ripped up an ad I had in the mail that had that green and flower and made a collage.  That

is all I did and I think it looks very cool.

This is just a little page of some of the places I want to go and there addresses, I did not show you the other page..  I find when i am travelling you need to know addresses.

So here is a little peak at my Travel Journal, I am going to add a few stamps, numbers etc.  and of course pick up stuff when I am there.  Hope you enjoyed this peek.
