Hi everyone. Happy Thursday.
Today I am linking up to May's More Than Words Monthly Challenge. This month their theme is TRAVEL. I thought I would share a couple of pages from my Greece travel journal that I've been working on.
At some point early in the trip, my friends and I had a conversation about what people think about when they want to fall asleep but can't. The idea of an alphabet list came up, and from that discussion we decided we could make an alphabet list about our trip. Most evenings we would add words from our day and match them up to the letters that they start with.
My friend Deb kept the list and typed it up when we were home. (Thanks Deb.) I'm using that typed up list in some of the pages in my travel journal, and I'll share a couple of pages today.
For this first page I used some scrap paper, some stickers, die cut trim and fussy cut stamped kitties. To this I added my A and B letter lists, a map of Athens and our hotel key from where we stayed in the city. Since this is my travel journal I marked where the hotel was located.
My K, L and M page celebrates the spring weather and flowers we had. I used some crayons, some little plastic flowers, a die cut sun and cloud, some sticky fabric sunglasses, paper, a rubber stamps and 2 inks, markers and finally a tiny thermometer from a packet I bought probably 10 or more years ago.
I love this list idea. ❤ Now that I'm home, it helps remind me of many items and experiences we had while traveling, and it was also a great way to recap a day. And you should have seen how excited we were when we came across a Q,X or Z words. Grin. 😏
I'll definitely be doing this again next time I go on a trip. It's fun, can be done with the whole group, or done by yourself, whatever strikes your fancy.
That's all for me today. I hope your week is going well.
