| Turkish Airlines Postcard I'm getting myself ready for a trip! But I'm afraid I just don't travel light. I try. Really, I try but what about art supplies? My journals? Camera? |
 |
| Airline Stickers -- Wake Me Up For Food??? Oh yes! My friend Christine H sent these to me today and I had to laugh -- what do you do? Stick one on your forehead in case you asleep on the plane? Why no "Wake Me Up for the Drink Cart"? or"Wake Me Up When We Land?" I can think of quite a few ideas. So funny, thanks Christine. |
 |
| Absolutely no idea of what clothes to pack but I cleared off my work table to work on getting some travel journals started.... first things first, right? |
 |
| Large Travel Journal I'm combining both countries I'm visiting into one journal, Turkey (Istanbul) and Italy. I found some wonderful old postcards of Istanbul when it was still called Constantinople. I'm adding old maps and the vintage cards now and all the rest while traveling... |
 |
| Two Mini Journals I made a small mini for each country. I've been writing notes in them like addresses and info. I plan on carrying one around with me when out and about. |
 |
| The (mini) Italian embellished with a lovely stamp. |
 |
| Vintage Turkish Postcard |
 |
| What else have I been doing besides obsessing packing, art supplies, weather, etc? Well, I took up a challenge from Karen of I Am Rushmore and Mail Me Some Art and last night I had fun making some duct tape booklets. These are really quick and dirty (as some say) and quick and fun to make. I'm thinking they would be fun to make while traveling using "foreign" papers and ephemera. |

| Here's an inside page......... |

| Chinatown Photo/Collage/Book Project I've also been working on my Chinatown project (it is an ongoing one). I am making a series of books of photos, joss paper, collage and vintage Chinese booklets. And those chopsticks are made of paper. Pretty cool, don't you think? |
 |
| Another Page.... I think I should put this project aside and figure out what clothes to pack though... |
 |
| Chinatown lunch - Clay Pot Chicken I found an old test from an Italian class I took -- with a B on it. Not bad -- too bad I have forgotten everything. Any of you out there have any great restaurant tips for Istanbul or Venice, Italy? Any helpful hints? Anyone want to come over and help me figure out what to pack? Can anyone tell me how to pack light???? Send Good Mail --- Get Good mail |
