summer souvenirs

With Summer vacations about to come to an end, one way to hang on tight to the memories are to create your very own Summer albums as a souvenir keepsake.
A binder can be a great way to collect all the little pieces of paper from one's travels. This can provide a great reference for future travels. I love to look back and see what things cost and what places you want to return to. I keep a zip-lock bag on my trip and at the end of the day drop the receipts and any notes to help jog my foggy bottom brain, so when I get home, I can arrange photos and snippets in an organized fashion.

recreation room

Time to make room for a little recreation.

I picture mornings that run into afternoons. No appointments, no clocks, just time to enjoy.

Summer seems to be melting away, so I will be taking some time off to enjoy the last bits before school starts.

Not to worry.

I travel with my sketch pad and watercolors.

Walks, nature, good food and family love.

Back soon.

Can you guess where we are headed? (No cheaters now.)
