Hi everyone. Happy Friday. It's just about the last day of the month. For such a wintery month it definitely flew by for me. That is a surprise because I have reached the point where I have had enough of winter, and usually when I get to that point, it feels like time has stopped. Although March doesn't look like it is going to start off very spring-like, I hope that the lion is exhausted and the lamb follows quickly. I'm basing comment that on the cliche, that March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb.
Today I am joining Gillena for her Friday Lunch Break and also Nicole for her Friday Face Off.
Since it's the end of February I thought I'd wrap up my travel journal to Nova Scotia. There's a lot of faces in this post too. In fact, I've focused on pages with faces for this post.
On the right (above) you can see glasses and eyes, a sort of face, stamped on some acetate. It's on the left in this next photo as the acetate gets flipped over.
There's another partial face on the right on this spread above. Poor Pete. Twice on the trip alarms went off, and they upset him.
There's a face on the Louisbourg postcard on the right. The left is my take on a bunch of rainbows we saw while driving that day.
And ha ha, here's some chicken faces. I had had chicken tenders for dinner at Costco that night.
It was September when we traveled. Apple season. Could we find a stand to buy some? Nope. Of course we probably just didn't know where they were, but we did find some at a Grocery store. I fussy cut these apples out of a sheet of paper and added a face to one of them. And on the left you can see a grumpy old face, a moon, that I cut out of some tissue paper.
I love the Mi'kmaq spirit crow above. It's a cool sticker I found on the trip. And finally, below, a Tim Holtz stamped image of a dog, which was how Maddie looked at that moment. She ended up sick to her stomach, and it was my fault because I ignored her "I need to go out" look. She ended up sitting in the car for a little longer than needed and stressed out, and that caused her to get an upset tummy.
That's all for me today. Have a great rest of your Friday, rest of the month, and a great start to the weekend.

...and now I wish you a Marvelous March.
Yes, March is my least favorite month as I am so desperate for spring but March can be so cruel.
Your journal is great. I loved reading the 'dog stories' of your trip.
Enjoy the weekend,
Lisca
Maybe one day your grandchildren will read these journals and be inspired to make their own journey to Nova Scotia. All the best - David
Good morning I loved seeing your journal-hugs I am ready for March too-although we have been cold no snow or ice here this month.
Happy March. I love your work.
That's so cool! You have such interesting ephemera and the colors are fantastic. Blessings!
This is terrific. I loved the "Poor Mad" page, too.
Erika, your travels journals certainly are a great look back on your adventures and I wondered if you look at them and remember all the fun. And, yes, it will be good to welcome a new month this weekend.
Such colourful pages with so much to take in, great way to travel.

You've created some wonderful pages...
And yes, March is just around the corner – just like spring.
Warmest regards, Viola
Poor Maddie...hope her stomach feels better now. Your had a rather productive February, Erika.
What great pages! I loved the chickens. I hope you had warmish temps and lots of sunshine to melt the snow.
A delight to see your journal ... great pages.
Enjoy your weekend.
All the best Jan
Hello there. The Mi’kmaq spirit crow and rainbow page sound especially beautiful. Have a nice weekend my friend
Hey there, more great pages, that journal is a nice one! Wow, that snow is making me glad it's you and not me, lol. We are highs 80's/lows 60's, and what's weird is, the lows just jumped up 5 degrees from the 50's and remain steady. I guess I've never noticed something like that before. Thought it was more gradual. xoxo
Oh, new, beautiful banner!
Ohhh, poor Pete! But so much fun in your pages!! Hugs and to a great weekend
This is such a great journal of your trip! Such a wonderful way to enjoy the memories now and later.
Lovely pages -Christine cmlk79.blogspot.com
I love how you’ve captured little faces everywhere, from stickers to food to animals. It makes the memories feel playful and personal, and your reflections really bring the trip to life.
I enjoyed looking at your travel journal.
Winter FLEW by for me. It was a spring day today and tomorrow could be a polar vortex. Just never know. Funny how that is.
