August Second

    Hi everyone. I hope you're having a wonderful weekend  and start to the new month. Blog wise it's another busy Sunday because there are 3 challenges today I'll be linking  up to. I'll be linking  up to Gillena's Sunday Smiles, Nicole's Sunday in the Art Room (SITAR) and also , because it is the second of the month, I'll be linking  up to Second on the Second over at Bleubeard's and Elizabeth's blog .

    Because Second on the Second is a time to repost something from the past, I'm going back to August of 2016. That month along my husband,  my sister-in-law and her husband,  I went on a weekend get-away to a part of the Hudson River Valley in New York. I love to collect odds and ends when I travel, and then when I get home, I like to make a little memory journal. Today I'll re-share  a couple photos of the junk-style journal I made when I was home. 

   Here's a few pages.  This first page is half covered with the brochure from a sangria festival we visited. The journaling pages come from this post August 28, 2016.

  Since my theme this month at Art Journal Journey is In The Good Old Summertime, I thought I'd also share a few summery photos I took on that trip.  You can  find these in some of my August of 2016 posts. Any of these could be a great idea  to make a journal page from too. 😏

   While on our trip, we had visited the Franklin Delano Roosevelt home and presidential library, as well as the Eleanor Roosevelt home. We also made a quick stop at a Vanderbilt mansion which was next door to the other homes and took a lovely walk through the gardens there.

    I took tons more photos, but these were the main ones I posted. One other thing we did while on our travels was visit a vineyard that was having a sangria festival. This potted hibiscus is a beauty.

    It was a fun weekend away. It was fun to relive it again.  And, it was fun to share it for a second time with you. 😏

    Have a great rest of your weekend and start to the new week.
