2014 Travel Journal

Next month my husband and I are going to Budapest, Vienna and Prague.  This will be our  time in these cities.  I'm so excited.

I always make a travel journal for any trip I go on.  I decided to use a monochromatic color scheme - based on old book pages.

  1. love it! I used tea to dye a white crocheted pillow cover. I like that effect so much better than plain dye.

  8. Pat, your little journal is wonderful. Thanks so much for sharing the process of making it. I'm wondering if the slideshow is a Blogger thing. It's the next best thing to a video.
